    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.
    There is a simple solution. leave one 75 as a "merit job" and keep it well geared. Then find 5 others of the right selection who did the same if you're really that desperate for the old numbers.

    for blm:

    ive been pting with lsmates the last couple days on my blm, hit 78 tonight. The best thing I can tell you for blm honestly is to either sync down to xarc S tigers (20-25k/hour),
    or make a traditional pt , but take 2 blms for dual MB,

    Was hitting consistent 1950 MB's on the vultures in mis. coast. , with 2 blms doing that(geared right and not worthless), you can kill a mob from 75% on just the SC/MB damage alone. Gotta have a lvl 75 though, not worth it at 76 at all. Your biggest problem with regular pts is waiting for tp, but if they dont suck should be ok,
    pld,dd,dd,rdm,blm,blm is the way im doing it. bout 15k/hour, which from what ive seen is pretty good for these new camps.

    theres just not enough mobs high level to exp on. The most ive synced to was 78 on the damselflys in riverne A just out of trying to do stone V mb when we didnt have a 77.

    I dont see any chance of syncing to 79 anywhere yet.

    someones going to have a 75 to lvl up for years to come. Just use them and hit up the bird camps for merits ~_~ in time will find other spots that are almost as good I bet as well at 80.

    Hit up the range. Currently @ lv77 and I'm making 29k/hr now that our COR's using COR roll and we're not 76 anymore.

    Ok, but won't that only work once? I'm pretty sure I read around here that you cannot sync to someone in merit mode, so one good party and your 75 job, even if it has zilch for buffer, is gonna hit 77. If you're willing to delevel every time you want to merit, you have a lot more spare time and self-loathing than me.

    When the update hit and I went to kill vultures with a group of people from my shell, a few of them still needed their 3 merits in order to even get the quest. We level synced to those 75s, who were receiving merits, and myself and others who had unlocked lvl80 were indeed getting xp. I commented before we started that I wasn't sure it would work, but it did. Whether or not this is fully intentional I don't know, and it may be something that is corrected later, but as of now you can 'cap' the syncee by going to merits.

    Darners at Aiatar spawn in Riverne A01 are fun. They are very painful to DD's, it is absolutely imperative that I fulltimed Seigan+Third Eye, somersault does 500-1000 dmg, while cursed sphere spam made it worse.

    Anyways, I held 23k/hr with no ring, with me as sam, and 2 fully merited warriors, one with ebody.

    Because it's not a "new exp camp"? I just went from 75 to 78 doing MMM and made great exp, but it's not an update change or new discovery.

    If you have to full-time Seigan, you should be /NIN. Hasso > DA and Berserk

    One problem, for some people....
    Full upgraded relics are lvl 80 weapons, so they're gonna royally suck under level cap (and remove WS access?) I'd assume.

    I'm sorry, maybe I'm just terrible, but how did you come to this? If you have to fulltime Seigan, you're going to be casting shadows often, and I don't see how Hasso will work well with that. Recast+Cast increase is pretty terrible.

    I assumed there would be some degree of hate-trading, in which case he'd hopefully only require Ni. If that's not the case, nevermind.

    I keep hearing about this stuff but after trying multiple times to read through the MMM post its hard to find info. Shouldn't this be publicized like crazy, especially when we have 44k+ tnls.
