80+ leveling options, non-expansion

[userix]

What's a good place to level 80+ for those without Abyssea expansion? Does MMM exp still scale past 80+ levels?

Check ToAU zones since that's where they implemented mob adjustments and level changes. In the future, use http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/980...etarded/page30 if you're posing a question rather than trying to create a discussion (Or presentation).

Has anyone figured out how the mobs in Mount Z, Aydeewa Subterrane, mire, and reef had their mobs changed? I went through the area near cerberus and saw no changes, but haven't been able to check the rest yet.

Answering my own question so far: Mount Zhaylom is the same on the front half. Once you dip through halvung and back out, the area where Dahaks spawn has changed some. The King Apkallu at E-6 have all been changed into Scoriaceous Eruca. All checked IT++ to an 80 BLM, they were packed rather tightly and a few dahak spread between them, looked like it might be a nice TP burn spot if you can stand to fight eruca.

Further south, past the Execution chamber, the C-9 square is FILLED with new Orichalcumshell. They all are IT and so far have given 300 a kill to an 80 BLM solo, 264 to a party of 2. Apx 5600 HP, that's 4 ~1400 nukes

I heard the west island on Mount Z manaburn camp was fucked this update. All crabs or some shit.

Yea that's the C-9 camp. I'm not sure I'd call this fucked up though. I'm able to solo them now at 80 with only a little diceyness. Also 303 exp in a 80BLM/77RDM duo 331 c1 379 c2

Pro-tip: Just pay the damn $10. There's a lot more to Abyssea than simply EXP.

Dwoemershells added to Arrapago Reef. Their just past the lamia fang key door to the farthest west that opens up into the area north. I was trying to find the new bats there as well.

Any idea if the new mobs in Mount Z aggro?

i know it's not what you want to hear, but as others have said, get this expansion, abyssea is great for loads of reasons, and exp 2-4 times faster than best meripos were @ lv. 75

[blackmail]

There are other reasons for the usefulness of this information.

SKILL UP!

EG: Defensive skills gained via aggro and PL support. Have fun wasting 3 stones doing that on abyssea mobs (Parry, Guarding, Evasion etc).

@OP:
I went through the A. Subterraine (sp?) and found little out of place. That leaves the Mire.

[chazzyphizzle]

you cap physical defensive skills during exp, and you turn your 3 stones into 3+ hours worth of time anyway.

There are some new bird mobs north of Einherjar entrance in Mire. IT to 80's. Used them to get my Crests.
