XP Camps

[Rocl]

The Colibri in Ronfaure[S] didn't reflect any spells I casted on them while exploring.

Tested this earlier and never got around to posting, so I can further confirm they don't reflect

[Ohemgee]

Ronfaure has a ton of Colibri that are around level 50ish (probably would need to confirm the exact level) that level 40s could exp on, along with those flytraps and ladybugs.

Wonder if the colibri reflect magic, or are like lesser colibri.

Those Colibri are actually more like high lv 30 pt exp mobs. They con IT+ to my 37WAR w/ a warp cudgel (high def).

The "low level" mobs like Wild Rabbits and Tunnel Worms are about La Theine level mobs.

Gogo lvl 30 burn parties...

Not enough of them. Unless you chain (higher?) level Lady bugs.

The "low level" mobs like Wild Rabbits and Tunnel Worms are about La Theine level mobs.

Tunnel Worm in N. Gusta are exactly level 10-12. (checked all T at lvl 12, checked all EM at level 12 when I soloed off all DCs.

Going to kill stuff on Dancer in W. Saruta [S] next.

Just went out there with my 46 RNG, they're DC which puts them at 44-45 or so. I didn't check them all so not sure if it'll dip to 43-45 or 44-46.

Edit: ran back out and seems like 44-46 to me. 4 EMs and 3 DCs out of the 7 in this area.

Plenty of love for BST, though it's all intra-species.
1) There are lizards in the northern area of the Fort (45-47?) that would be awesome for level 45-47 BST. They're strong pets and spread out just enough to avoid links with little trouble.
2) If Lizards aren't your style, or you're looking for party xp camps, there's also a huge hill of level (45-47?) beetles right below the entrance to Sauromugue Champlaign in Meri. Mountains.
3*) There are more Hill Lizards in Sauromugue Champlaign (46-48?) that you could easily switch to after you got tired of the other camp. Night stuff bats/a dog spawn there as well, which would be a nice xp boost. I took this camp to 49, though when I found the next camp I regretted not just moving on earlier.
4*) There is a big area of Rolanberry Fields (S) with Coppercaps (47-49) that's great for 47-48 BST.
5*) There is another area of Rolanberry Fields with a bunch of Berry Grub (49-51) that's pretty awesome at 49.
5) I suspect Lynx in Meri. Mountains are 50-53, and will head back there after I ding 50 off these Coppercaps. Hopefully some of the Lynx farming furor will have died down by then, or people will have noticed there are also slightly higher level Lynxs out in Sauromugue Champlaign.
* = has a Sprite running around it.

I guessed all these level ranges based on how many EMs I saw, or (in the case of the 45-47s), the fact that they were all DC to my level 48 BST. I hit 49 on my trip to Rolanberry. I'm really pretty sure that the Coppercaps only have a 3 level range up in the terraces where I was killing, as it seems they're about 66% DC 33% EM. Lynx in Sauromugue Champlaign were all varying shades of T to my level 48 BST, with no VTs that I can remember, so I'll head back there next level and get a better idea about it.

I also just noticed that you can add multiple bonuses to your Sigil. I have Regen, Refresh, and Increased Meal Duration at the moment. It cost me 150 notes. Refresh kicks in at 50%MP in a beastman dominated zone with a pretty Beastman Dominated map. Regen took me to 60% HP. It's possible these numbers are dependent on some outside quantity, like sanction's are though.

[BadKarma]

pretty good finds

[ronin sparthos]

That coppercap spot in rolanberry could be a viable exp loacation for a standard exp party of that level.

[Leeto]

Wyverns in grauberg are nasty. I wouldn't recommend doing anything except sleep/grav nuking them, they double attack frequently, hit very hard and very fast. Don't let them get near you if you're doing it as a blm or rdm, they'll crack your 350 stoneskin in one hit easily without an earth staff.

[ronin sparthos]

Are they harder than skoffins? skoffins hit for about that to a mage job.

Do they also use anything different from normal wyverns?

[Byrthnoth]

After eating a 450+ damage Silence Gas or two (I only ate one, huzzah!), people might reconsider it. <,< The problem with Fungaurs is that even though they're squishy they hit hard, use unblinkable TP moves, and double attack. Paladin tank would be preferred, but they'd have to bring Echo drops and be well geared.

Really, for a party the big one I saw was the Beetle hill in Meri. Mountains. Beetles have MP, their TP moves suck, and if you have a dispeller you're set on them. Acid Bolts + Dia 2 speed things up.

dunno if they have different tp moves. I went blm/whm to teleport (couldn't gravity) and a double attack broke my stoneskin and brought me to half hp (i'm a taru). stunned it only to have it come unstunned half a second later and kill me. Blink was completely ignored. Didn't see it use any tp moves. 1100ish thunder4 brought it to 80% so I'd say 6000-6500 health

Your maths seem off >.>

[Tokitoki]

Aye it does. 5000-5500HP

I was soloing (with a pl :>) my 44 ninja in Ronfaure on Ladybugs and Colibri. At 44 they were all Tough, but at 45 some of them started checking Even Match. Ladybugs seem to have a hate system kinda like apkallus from my limited experience killing them there. The first 5 or so only used one TP move, which did a knockback and about 100~damage to my 44 ninja that went through shadows. After killing 5 or so, they started using more and more tp moves 1 at a time over the course of the next 3000xp~, including Attack down, Accuracy down, and Amnesia. They didn't seem to gain evasion/defense bonus like apkallus, but I didn't kill that many. There are a ton of Ladybugs and Colibris around the bottom half of the map, which would make for a good 3+ exp party camps around level 35~

[Starless]

I found soloing the lvl 10-12 Tunnel Worms in North Gustaberg [S] made for fun exp. Has anyone tried forming a teen-level exp party in any of the new areas? It seems like SE is trying to give us more fresh alternatives to the Dunes.

The first ladybug I killed used Amnesia on me. Another interesting thing to note is that Coppercaps have absolutely no drops other than Beastman Seals (and maybe Dark Crystals). They drop no shrooms of any kind. Berry Grubs do drop Silk Thread (though their drop rate is rather shitty in my opinion.) I got 4 Threads going from level 49 to 50 BST. Neither monster seems to drop anything special or quest related, or I'd probably have gotten it unless it's super-rare. Hill Lizards in Sauromugue Champlaign/Fort KN probably also drop nothing but Tails/Hides. The ones in Sauromugue Champlaign seemed to have a much worse drop rate, though neither were particularly good.

I just checked these with my 41 BLU.

They con IT low eva/low def. So do the Ladybugs.

There are plenty of mobs to pull, and no other aggroing mobs in the area.
This would probably make an excellent 38-41 camp, and might possibly support 2 parties.

read above, they stare becoming EM at 45, so a party around 34-38 might be best

The first ladybug I killed used Amnesia on me.

Both items made from ladybug shells activate during the day, perhaps ladybugs are stronger during the day.
