    CP Farm - Solo and Party Spots

    Hello everyone,

    As we now need exorbitant amounts of JP to unlock gifts, I was hoping we could share some of the best solo and party spots for CP farming. I know people may be reluctant to give info on solo spots but I believe you get more CP if you join up with others, so this may be a good community building tool in a way.

    I would especially like to hear what are the best CP/hour ratios people are getting on different jobs. Also, what spots are best for mage jobs (BLM/SCH/GEO) and melee jobs?

    To get the ball rolling,
    One of my favorite spots is just inside the Circas Cavern reached by using the Yorcia Wield gate crystal. My 90-minute CP parties usually net between 7-10 JPs in that time frame during double CP weekends, capacity ring x 2 uses, and no COR. Jobs do not matter AT all. Throw in a cor and you can probably get similar numbers without the double CP bonus, especially as you unlock more CP gifts.

    Well... there's bats in the Woh (or was it Doh? idk it's the one off Marjami) that people like.
    Did the hippogryphs in there... was farming up helms... and they were stupid evasive, but if you prepped for that, it would be ok too. (though it was funny to me that the mobs that drop the NM pop item are stonger than the NM, iirc they're 128 but the NM is only 126)

    For more solo things there's butterflies in Outer Razkanar... On Odin no one is killing the mandies right outside of W. Adoulin any more... Probably because it was popular with the bots and those ppl got the ban.
    Diremites in Rala never caught on... I don't think anyone ever really goes in Rala... rare is it that I ever find someone there during the "kill vermin" RoE time. (Better there to get JPs + the RoE)

    Then there's the Woh worms and bunnies. That was popular for a while....

    I don't ever do the grind... except back when JP were new and BLU... so.... I'm not the best source of first hand info.
    But this is all stuff off the top of my head that I've heard. (I farmed up BLU in Razkanar on butterflies... took FOREVER and I took many breaks... with Gifts though it should be much easier on a person. Even moreso when they make the double cap permanent.)

    My favorite spot are the bats in Woh, but that's because my jobs are mainly THF and COR, so piercing bonus!

    For a manaburn "solo camp" (works duo/trio) you can use the Ceizak gate crystal and there are Umbrils down there. You can kill some Dullahans between pops, but I'd heavily recommend high tier nukes to avoid TP moves. There are also a whole bunch of sea monks there, not sure if cross attack or maelstrom would be crazy damaging to be worrisome, or just a good whm could make it a viable camp for your normal party. Also a bit east there looks to be a diremite/single bat camp that with a WHM could be about as good as the Woh Gates bat camp.

    Before I found the bat camp my go-to solo spot were Stryx in marjami near the ergon locus off biv 4 (head down through colo reive, go up vine, about 10 Stryx there) as there's an RoE for them. This might be a solid idea once again to help farm sparks/accolades, maybe I'll try it again, though I can clear the place a bit too quick now I think and lose chain.

    The RMT spot in Foret #3 is good for mindless, binge watching while farming. Also, grand spot for sparks farming. Otherwise, I like worms/flies in Dho from the Foret #3 spot.

    Is Incursion in any way possible to set up as a CP farm?

    Yes, yes it is. A few friends of mine and I farm the mobs in incursion for capacity points in a low man setting. (5 or 6)
    Usually as THF, SAM, RDM, WHM, BRD, (optional GEO or COR)

    Awesome. Can you share how it works and how much CP you typically make?

    Camp1: Bats, Woh gates F-10 map2, Very good but very popular, usually taken during prime times. (1k~1.5k /mob)
    Camp2: Woh Gates D-8 map 1 (umbrils, bats, worms). Only ever see solo SMN there.

    DDx2 healerx2 buffer x2. (MNK, WHM BRD for me).

    You need a high amount of accuracy on melees, but umbrils die in one skillchain usually (15seconds). Need lots of erases!

    1.5k~2k CP per mobs during 2x campaign (with a gimp CP cape), before the new CP gifts. Overal ~7 JP an hour, but I 6-box so 6 real players go much faster.

    My favorite solo spot when I was playing was I-8 in Khamir Drifts. During Double Cap Point campaign I would get just over 3 JP an hour just making the circle and killing Tigers and Marids on my SAM.

    Really easy to get to, HP warp to Lion WKR, follow left wall south and take first left. It was a nice circular path and I couldn't quite get to the point where I was running out of mobs.

    If I was on my game, I could keep the capacity chain going up until about 20 or so before I made a mistake (or got paralyzed by a tiger) and lost it.
