New Exp/Merit Locations

[Obev]

There's 12 or so T-VT Piestes at the far southwest of Pashhow Marshlands [S]; enough to kill one every 30 seconds in time for repops. I'll try convincing a party to go there, and as long as Piestes aren't as annoying to chain as Wivres, it might just work.

Solo exp on the Carrion Worms in East Ron [S] was awesome for me the other day levelling SCH sub. Got from 10-15 off those solo. Started at 200+exp solo per worm down to about 60-80exp a worm by level 15. Sigil refresh for this is <3 and I'm now level 15 thanks to this and have managed to avoid the evil dunes and low level noob parties.

Anyone know where I can go and solo at level 15 on SCH until 20ish? >.> I'd rather avoid parties until Qufim time if I can ;;

i tried to xp off the colibri in east ronfuare [S] this morning and i found about half a dozen good camps where you could xp off of IT+ @ 36 colibri and ladybugs with minimal troubles. theres plenty of mobs little fear of aggro and of course gods wonderful gift pixies.

Could you specify your camp spot?

[ronin sparthos]

Peistes would require a whm to kill effectively.

I'm still fighting stuff in East. Ron [S] as a 15 monk. Still fighting worms, rabbits, and bats. It's all EP-DC but it's better than dunes at least. Maybe you should go to Korr. tunnel and fight those worms <.<

[Seigfried Of Pandy]

i feel like all the merit spots are viable but is kind of taking a step back from in terms to what were used to in TOAU, somewhere closer to old exp spots or maybe somewhere in between.

I have leveled from like 12-24 now in N Gustaberg [S] completly solo just killing EP/DC stuff, starting to get slower now because I do it while listening to podcasts to prepare for finals

In an exp party lvl 37-40 getting 9-10k/hr today in E Ronfaure at J-9 on ladybugs and colibri, setup was SAM DNC DRK DRG RDM BRD, kicked arse hehe :D got 3 lvls in scary short amount of time!

Ladybugs get kinda buffed daytime, do amnesia & atk down moves and are more evasive, but at night they're wussy. Colibri are non-reflecty general type birds, still do all the familiar moves.

edit: mobs start to be VT at 41 just btw, but we're gonna persist tearing through them til 42-43 cos they're just so squishy.

edit2: nope, dies at 42. Got up to 12k/hr-ish with our bard pulling at one point, and #11, that was hax.

In the area circled above there are a metric crap ton of VT-/+ to 75 Gnats. Its fairly easy to get to, I just have yet to get enough people together to go try and kill the evil weevils.

Why would you want to fight gnats? Their evasion is higher than Mamool THFs, they AoE reset TP, and they have Spider Web-strength AoE slow.

[Metah]

Passhow Marshlands [S] has lots of Lou Carlouth Slugs and Quadav that are T+ to a 73.

I'm thinking BSTs level 72-73 would be able to roam, possibly duo, killing the Quadav. Not sure if there is a big cluster of Quadav near a few Slugs or anything, I haven't investigated it very well.

By the way, you'll need a good CHR set up and Light/Apollo's to charm a Slug, as they've got Resist Charm on par with Slimes. They're also amazing pets, too.

Gnats are the New wrath of God himself.

Anyone tried setting a rabid pack of BLMs on them yet? First 2 of those issues shouldn't affect blms and the last shouldn't happen that often what with preventing tp moves by death and all

Oh man, Gnats are horrible, but they are apparently sleepable.

Did a Gusta fight and for the first time ever in Campaign I found myself thinking "Man, I'm glad that Blm showed up."

This guy rocked, he runs in, gets tags, slinks around raising people, then starts to gravity bind sleepga things so we are able to recover from the zerg rush of high tier quads+gnats with 10 people there.

[Kyreth]

Gnats can be Gravitied, Binded, and Slept. I've played tag with multiples at once doing Campaign. If you couldn't, those things would massacre people. (And I've Slept/Gravitied ones outside as well.).

Gravity in any case is a good debuff on those things, a little Evasion Down never hurt anyone.

Well, once my partner's copy turns up (/curses Playasia) I'll go and check it out with her, if noone else has already.

East Raunf colibri were ok from 35 even, 2 DD 1 tank 1 dnc 2 healers = nice exp. We did it as PLD SAM DRK DNC, SMN SCH (healers). Tank needs defense food , like 10 stacks of them, or he's gonna get his ass kicked. We got 280 exp chain 3 with 5 people while waiting for a 6th.

We actually went there at 33/34, but it was horribly slow, definitely underlevelled, but once we hit 35 and the sam took out his polearm, it went much better.

I tried to do it again later that night, it's a nightmare how many people don't have the zones but do have the expansion installed.

I wish I took the SS of "What does the S stand for?"

[Maxxthepenguin]

That just makes me really sad Wafik

[Damane]

scarab beetles outside in East Ronfaure [S] just a bit north of the fortification there roam alot of beetles, supports only 1 PT. very good for lvl 14-17 PT probably, since they conned DC-EM to my DNC/BST 23.

[Metah]

I can also attest to low level BLM or SCH on Carrion Worms in East Ronfaure [S]. Definately can go there as SCH9, but it might be too much work for the reward. At level 13, the worms don't go any higher than DC, and can be as low as EP. I wouldn't stay past level 14.
