    New Skill UP area

    I've recently been working on some weapons to skill up and lately I've found some good spots to go to. Now I'm kinda stuck atm because I finally reached 200 and I don't know where I should go. Can't really solo in the Boyahda Tree because /BST is really limited. Anyways, the camp I went to from 100-200 was in Wajaom Woodlands. Area is surrounded by Marids, 3 Leeches, 4 Bees, and a ton of Toucans. But like I stated previously, I don't know where to go. Preferably someplace I can solo, because it's really hard finding people at 5:00am. =)

    Never tried it, but how's besieged for skillups other than magic?

    Judging by the amount of PLD's with daggers, I'd say pretty damn good.

    Really, good fucking luck hitting anything in besieged. I've tried to do swords (215 currently) as NIN to no avail.

    I've tried beseiged for skilling up, but only certain mobs really suck. Example given would be Trolls for Diamondhide. Lamia are perfect but then again Charm sucks, unless you are smacking a volunteer. Bones are always a no thanks. Mamools have Warm-up which we all know sucks badly without dispel or finale, but is very doable. With all my ACC gear and Aggressor, hitting isn't the problem, it's getting the slow 2-handed weapon skill up. Guess it's back to besieged for me. Anyone else have ideas or new locations to skill up?

    Not having all the charm+ items from BST main and losing a lot of CHR from AF. Only CHR items I can use are rings, waist, neck, and staff. I can't really carry earrings just to go skill up. Plus I'll get more failed charms on Even-Tough mobs. Even though some are DC, they are still hard to charm as WAR/BST. I was their earlier today, before I posted this thread and I had a really bad time.

    Beseiged is chnged now, you can actually hit mobs and deal damage to them, unlike before. I'll be posting bout it in my LJ next update with some screens, but i'm very impressed.

    Before, even all my acc gear it was hard to hit, now I hit just fine and do relatively the same amount of dmg i'd do outside beseiged as I did in beseiged, this only on mamools though, have not had a chance to experience the other two.

    Sushi = skillup food. Grab a stack of the cheapest crap and whack away.

    When I skilled my club long ago, I was 75BLM/50ishBST and I solo'd there fine. Remember the level of your BST will have basicly the same power when its subbed. So if your BST is only 37, good luck trying to charm IT++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++~ mobs.


    But ive found besieged really good for magic skill up, and when you can hit, good for melee.

    I think you're just having very bad luck, because my warrior is also 75 and I can find some very decent chr equipment. Enough to charm even matches. Even as a beast, you should not be charming toughs.

    imho, charm+ is a bit overated and the only time it comes into play is when shit likes to resist charm, like raptors and mandy's.

    Yeah, Charm+ helps duration, but not success; that would be CHR.

    Yeah, Charm+ helps duration, but not success; that would be Appollo's staff.
    I changed your quote to accurately affect what really makes you charm efficiently
