New Exp/Merit Locations

[Lordwafik]

Lynx are fine 42-44 , although I'd prefer if we waited for one more level since our party isn't optimal (PLD DRK SCH SMN THF DNC). So a pt with a good whm and such will be fine here.

Lynx are Warriors !! We confirmed it today since they didn't triple attack like their yellow skinned friends, but instead double attacked. (that and they had no evasion).

I'm expecting these to take us to 45-6 before exp poos on itself. Shellra helps greatly with helping to resist Charged Whisker. I'm sure barthundara would too but sch doesn't get it for a while yet - at 50, (WHM 25 for Barthundara).

These are easy to tank with Paralyze and Slow , we had SMN para with fenrir and me slowing as sch in my shitty lvl29 gear :D

One problem is you might run into people farming, but most people will leave if you ask kindly. On a good note, campaign nor undead pop in the area, however 2 squares down is all the action, so warping home is really close! Add the fact that it's one of the easier [S] zones to get to, shouldn't be hard making parties to come here as long as they have expansion installed.

Screw gustav and it's shitty 16 minute repop timers :D


EDIT : PLD hit 45, and some started popping VT for him, so I was one level off! I guess these will be good till 46, then as soon as people hit 46 exp will die.

Well that sounds good, and being able to use sigil in these zones kicks ass as well

Has anyone found any monsters that con even match to lvl52-55? I have to find a new camp for my PT when I return tonight and we're trying to avoid as much non WotG camps as possible.

Preferrably monsters that are EM-T to a lvl52 would be perfect.

I'll check in a sec, the spot near the ??? for the Kocco's earring quest, the Marabou and Beetles around there might be the right level, I'll go see.

Any suggestions for a lvl 70 party (im 69 atm and all the merit camps are the suck and mire is rediculously crowded).

I was thinking when we hit the 70s, to hit up the scorps @ Meriphataud Mountains. There's 2 Teirs of them , one of them just "Scolopendra", forgot the other one's name (which is harder) but they're between castle oz and waraxe beak spawn, and there were 8 in a generally decent area of eachother, you might need to roam a bit though.

T-VT @ 75, so they'll be an ok IT camp for 70-71, not sure how well they're TP burnable though.

Don't be afraid to exp on scorpions, a lot of people are for no good reason. They hit slow, their TP moves are nowhere near as horrible as wyverns (death scissors is comparable to fang rush, and takes less shadows), their para move is cone, so everyone won't get super dispelled / para'd / everything. Wild Rage / AOE stomp is the only thing I can think of that'd suck, however seeing how I've never fought them, I have no idea on if they have a new TP move (as they're recoloured) or have enpoison etc.

Hope it helps! If you don't exp on them, I will be in about 25 levels

For that level you could try Grauberg Hippogyphs as well, theres 10 of them and they are pretty squishy.

EXP+10% for fighting a Hippogryph is always nice too

As I recall, these are DC at level 75.

DC-EM. Lv70 would be too high to exp off them.

That spot in Vunkerl is TW @57, will have to go out there later on a 30ish job, see what happens.

Also, just inside Grauberg, if you go northeast from where you zone in, theres a couple spots with about 5 worm spawns, you'd have to roam a bit with your melees, but it could easily rock from 26/27-29-30, as they're just turning EM at 33, with some T's still.

Only aggro I've seen is a Goblin Pioneer (like a Digger) who loops up from the southeast, hugs the south wall, and then goes southwest again.

I did a check around Rolanberry [S], killing things with my 56 DNC if they looked exp-worthy. I found a few things.

- Obviously there's the Lycopodium's outside town, I don't know what level these are since they were TW to 56 (I'm sure it's been posted somewhere).
- Near Pashhow Marshlands [S] are 9 Hawkers (Flies) which are level 46-48. Alternative to Colibri or possible to bridge a gap between Colibri and Lynx. It's a nice camp that's pretty safe looking and the pulls aren't too bad, if you know what you're doing (which is the case for most outdoor camps).
- In Brutus's Field, most specifically around the pond there, there's a bunch of slugs (Scabrous Slug), which conned T-VT to me at 56, indicating they were probably about 58-60 or 59-61. Around the lake were also some Quadavs which conned the same things, so this looks like a nice camp for possibly the level 50-51 range, if slugs are any good to exp on. I haven't fought any of them personally, so I can't comment on that.
- Just outside of Crawlers' Nest [S] are 11 Worker Crawlers (probably about 7-8 within close proximity to safe pulling), level 61-63. By 53, people move to Colibri, but if you don't like Colibri and want something else...
- Just outside the "hidden" entrance to Vunkerl Inlet [S] are 6 Dragonflies (Flies), which all conned VT to 56.

All of these are outdoor repops, so 5 minutes. I'm gonna check the other zones and the levels of the aforementioned mobs later on, this is just the start.

Slugs are horrifyingly bad exp fodder.

Nasty debuffs, and they use Stripga+Amnesia+Pathos move, so you can't equip anything after being stripped, and you can't use any abilities, I fought an EP one at 75 and had a rough time because of losing TP unexpectedly/being naked without being able to re-equip.

Ladybugs outside in Ronfaure [S] con TW to my lvl 75 jobs, maybe a possibility?

Think someone said they were good around 35-36, with Colibri mixed in.

There are quite a few DC to 75 Lynxes near the Maw in Meriphataud, just outside of the zone to Zi'tah, and Lycopodiums just outside of the zone to Karugo in the southwest, not sure what level they are.

Ladybugs / Colibri are 37-42 fodder, fight ladybugs at night because they dont agro or use the more dangerous TP moves at night. PLENTY of mobs, enough for at least 3-4 parties.

Sigil 4tw.

That Hawker camp looks interesting, i think i'll check it out if i can get some more willing contestants to come EXP with me there.

Ladybugs on ronfaure were IT to me when I was lv 44,

Will that be EM at 52?

All of them? We couldn't find anything higher than VT when we left at levels 40-42,

My whole party is 46 now We ended up just going to LoO since we couldn't find a camp for the levels. But I am scouting a few nifty camps, looks like there's a 3 rafflesia exp spots in Fort K_N_S, but depends on how bad their TP moves are ( I heard they're not so horrible).

[Bariss]

im looking forward to it becoming common to party in WoTG areas, its time for a change. Hope it doesnt take too long

Without a 6-man party exp bonus, I highly doubt it. If I'm incorrect and there's a bonus for 6-man parties, please point me to some proof, but from what I've heard/experienced it's exactly the same as Signet (2-5 man parties get bonus, solo and 6-man don't).
