New Exp Camps.

[Deluge]

Around the Nue tower in beaucedine (s) there are a ton of cointeaches (their actual name is something unpronounceable like cynwirkkassax. With war/nin, mnk/nin and rdm/sch we made ~19k/hour at 75 and slightly lower at 76. The area before the Nue tower has even more of them and imps as well but there are so many of them it's easier to camp at the Nue tower. A full party that was like 72ish could probably camp out in the area with more mobs.

I'm personally unsure why skilling up isn't a bigger concern for everyone... With the minimal to nonexistant stat boosts we get from 75-80, I'd say the bulk of our power increase comes from the higher skill levels. Magic is easy enough in besieged, but for weapons you simply need more time... I personally have no idea how to efficiently go about this, but I'd really like to find a surefire way because keeping my weapons capped is almost as important to me as the leveling itself. In an hour in Abyssea I managed to get 1.5 GAxe skill (although the entire hour was not devoted to skilling). This isn't a realistic way of skilling up however because of the always-in-effect time limit...

I capped all my skills as pld and nin on T1 VNMs. Was no problem at all.

Multi-hit weapons and weapon skills. Anyways, you can cap any and all skills on various T1 and T2 VNMs. If not that Heraldic Imps and/or Abyssea mobs T+ all work very very well.

TBH I wouldn't recommend Beseiged for Combat Skills at all.

The bulk of your damage upgrade comes from decreased level correction, which you don't have to skill up for.

Anyone have any off the beaten path solo BLM camps? MZ is ridiculous and Ix'DRG/DRK are brutal as well. Aerns in general are okay but not fantastic solo.

I'm doing Cointeaches in Xarc S right now solo.

EDIT: Camp otw to Zvahl is miserable, you can do it fairly well but if SS gets broken you're pretty fucked as everything aggros hp nearby and the camp itself is tiny.

A BLM solo camp (non-Abyssea) exists and for decent EXP. (Chaining #30 is unlikely but chain #5+ should be easy; even at 80, certain targets are level 82 or 83, so not bad.) I don't feel like saying outright where it is, but "resourceful" people can figure it out.

Hints:
SMN pets (this really gives it away)
BLM generally reliant on AM II to one-shot before level 80 without day bonuses.

So Kindred Summoner's pets in Zvahl [S]?

Can you recommend a camp or do I have to walk there and figure one out myself?

[Psion]

I remember getting killed by a summoner pet in the pit when I wandered too close to the edge once. <,< So one of those at the least has one, though I'm unsure of it's level to an 80 blm.

I don't know about your appetite for risk, but there's nothing else (good) to solo at 80.

On map 2, drop off the edge of the pit (where the Yagudo roam) at (G-9) facing northeast such that you end up on a ledge (the highest one) on map 3 at the end of a pathway leading to the SW room at (F-9)/(F-10). There are two Foredoomer Demons (so it's possible to chain beyond #5). As far as I know, these demons did not exist prior to the update. The elementals (Thunder, Dark, or Ice) are either level 82 (160 EXP at level 80, 75 INT) or level 83 (200 EXP at 80, 76 INT) and have at least ~1460 HP (didn't check the minimum HP to one-shot).

Situate yourself in the middle of the room (within the four pillars) but be wary of sight aggro when going to nuke. If something goes wrong, use Mana Wall and sleep. You could probably come here BLM/SCH if you are lazy to cast Blink/SS like I am.

From symmetry, you would think there are SMN spawns in the other three rooms but I haven't bothered to check yet.

I got a good exp camp for ya. It's called Abyssea alliance EXP.

My PLD agrees so much with you!

My pup as well! I went from 6k to 75 to capped exp and 2 merits from two parties, though the second one didn't do so hot due to no extra blms for nuking and several deaths from having 10 bugards at camp. I got away with it since I was the chest opener =D
