New Exp Camps.

[Kincard]

I can't believe how bad campaign is being dominated. 5 am and i'm counting 90+ people per battle. Groups of mobs are being obliterated before they even reach the forts. People are pulling more mobs a full halfway across the zone sometimes in a desperate attempt to get more than 600xp/battle. SE really needs to up the rate of battles after a level increase patch in the future, even temporarily.

They should get it back to those months where you could campaign in Bastok [S] constantly. That was xp heaven as far as campaign's concerned.

[Meian]

Starting to wonder if it is still viable to fight bombs in Ul. Range like the good old days on SMN... not much else to solo at a good rate that I could remember

[Karbuncle]

Should be noted that in the first "hard" area of Bibiki bay all the Catoblepas/etc are the same level, its the "Second hard" area where the mobs are upgraded, deep in the back.

Curious since SE is trying hard to bring old school sexy back anyone trying (SC+MB) on these new xp mobs??? Bring a blm an see how that shit works 2010 style the memories of skill chain at half mobs life to death in a blink from one spell sweet memories.....

[Rionel]

Did Promyvion-Mea today, from 76-80, best EXP ever from all the camps we tried, constant 22k/hr seldomly we lost chain but, that was due to wc break.

Awesome camp on third floor by the flux, plenty of mobs.

What was your setup?

Do you need Dispel and such? Evasive mobs?

I'd like details as I'm interested in trying this.

Seconded on setup. Just got a Promyvion - Dem party. Went in @11000 to 77, left @5000. Didn't track how long it was, but it wasn't short.

Yep, you need dispel, otherwise your melee will hit for crap/won't hit at all.
They're fairly evasive too.

RDM, PLD, BRD, COR, SAM, DRK was our setup

They do a TP move that is AoE and can be deadly if you just go straight DD on them, so its nice to have a tank that will not be destroyed by them after the AoE, it is absorbable by 1-3 shadows but that is not something really to depend on, I don't think Third Eye will save you from it.

MP was never an issue, only notable gear the RDM had was Dalmatica and AF2 hat but not like those are rare anymore, at 75 I was getting duration resisted for my lullabys but nothing really that deadly.

For camps, I'm actually in Holla 4th floor right now and it seems to be far better then Mea, I haven't ran out of mobs once to pull and we're starting to build a decent chain at Lv.77, highest we got to was 40 then I pissed off our red mage and made them leave

It can take you to 80 but it slows down a little after 78, I'd suggest Ulegrande Range(spelling) the eyes are just.. super squishy o: had the same setup, but I think BRD/WHM would work better there because of the aoe bind, and the occasional sleepga that may hit your red mage or white mage.

F9 where the mission gate is for the mission battle with the uber-shield bash CS, just below there, F-10, G-9, fucking PACKED with like 20~25 IT to 75 Orcs.

Did this camp yesterday, typical merit setup (was synced at 75). The orcs were very easy even with 1 DD being fairly gimp. I was pulling on brd, was generally linking 2-3 at a time on purpose to keep chain. If you link a lot it is fairly manageable as we had a 7 way link once with the pull and respawns and no one died. Decent party should do around 20k/hr

Random thought: Has anyone checked Purgonorgo Isle?

imps? faster and better xp.

My new BLM spot is Promvyions. :3

Any good camps for BLM in particular?

[Enygma55]

With aspir broken atm , Promyvian would make a very good manaburn spot. Mobs have about 5k hp. I just hit up Vahzl first floor ( the "Yes" option at the door ) there's a fuckton of mobs just to the right of entering.

Was getting 250xp on chain5+ with regular merit pt @75

Can easily see 6 blms sleep, aspir for 200+ and Tier 4 each to kill. Just pay attention to elements.

Nothing new there sadly.

Nothing new there sadly.

This, I went there last night and found nothing.

I'm gonna check out Pso Xja's uncapped area tonight and see if I find anything.

I've been to uncapped area 2 (blue/green stone doors) didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.

[Khajit]

Theres a merit camp in there but i dont know where. I just know ive seen parties on /search in there and heard another say they were meriting in there on the first day.

[Shamaya]

You probably won't find anything in Pso'Xja Marcicus, cuz while they said in the patch notes that they were removing the cap there, I don't believe they said anything about adjusting mob levels.

Glad to hear La'Vaule worked and that there are so many good camps. What's fucking nuts is that every camp in the GD world is packed tighter than a gnat's arse, even at midnight JST, no less. On Asura, 5 pt's at Mamool Ja staging point, 3-4 parties in friggin' mamook. All the new camps overfilled w/ more parties than they can support. People are even back at Deco's in sky. People are getting so desperate that they're leveling up at places like "death camp" on the way to Khimmy in the mire.

I went back to Castle Oztroja [S] last night for the first time in forever. Had to wait an hour for a party to leave. But once we started, syncing to 75-76 yielded ~25k/hr with corsair's roll. Exp looks to be pretty dead there at 78+ though.


One thing I'm wondering is, after the smoke has cleared and most people have gotten their level 80's, where will it be good to merit until the next level cap increase? I would be surprised if the merit standard in the next couple months were nearly as good as what we've been enjoying for the last couple years.

Another thing with Uleguerand Range EXP:

This shit is murder on mages' MP.

Went up here as WAR MNK MNK BRD COR WHM and we're pulling in 23k/hr (no cor roll; had to keep up chain) and our WHM kept dipping into the lower hundreds all the time.
