Grind Camps

[XooZQ]

I've posted this on my own LS's board, and I guess I should share it with the community. I guess maybe if more people knew where and what, they'd be doing it, eh? Anyway, a quick guide from R10 to 50:

ORANGE (Thanalan)
GREEN (The Black Shroud)
RED (La Noscea)

Note that the reasons for designating Light PT or Full PT is due to mob count and long respawns. It does not mean that a Full PT is required to grind at these camps. If I've missed a place or you have something to add, please feel free.

EDIT:
¹ I want to add that a lot of people are saying that they're running out of Young Raptors going in at the early 30's. It may very well be that this camp, given the range of their ranks, it be best to go in 35-39.

Additionally, it seems that between the Assassins and Antlings in Thanalan, the best range for that area is also 35-39. Of course, you can go as early as 30, but don't expect to be as efficient in some cases.

Again, with the Amalj'aa camps at Broken Water, you can go in as early as R30, but the camp is more efficient if you can make use of all three Amalj'aan camps which are better handled by the mid-30's.

² The Firedrakes have a strong full AoE that will hit any melee in the mix. Preferably at least 1 Conjurer to clean up the dmg that Stoneskin can't soak up.

EDIT: Added this within the thread as well, but if you want to find the right place for soloing, try going to a camp listed here with 1 or 2 ranks above the cap I have listed for it. You can, but I don't suggest you use Efts or Skeletons for soloing, as Efts have high DEF/HP and you can't drain HP/MP from skeletons.

I've noticed mobs that aggro have a higher SP bonus than normal mobs. The only situation where normal would be =/+ would be same range but higher concentration.

[TheVedis]

personaly, i would adjust several of those levels, just cuz the mobs are no longer +10 doesnt make them not the correct range anymore

as i found out some of those camps have almost unlimited respawns on them where youll never run out of mobs and thus make them better camps for it compared to those where youll get more sp per mob but run out of mobs quite often

[XooZQ]

I have no idea what you just said.

[TheVedis]

I have no idea what you just said.

you put optimal "sp per kill" rangesm, and not optimal sp per hour ranges, thats what im saying

you can get alot more sp at some camps post 39 for instance....when you have them listed as being good til 39, then you can by going to one of the higher camps, just because the lower camp has so many mobs they wont run out

[XooZQ]

Post 39, okay. Where, and on what mobs?

[TheVedis]

i dont want to say which camp specificaly cuz i kinda like scaring off lower level people who are there(i know, im greedy, but i cant help it if im leveling with some friends on our mid 40s at one of your -39 camps still and getting more sp then the higher camps cuz of it)

but lets just say you should go experiment with some of these camps yourself and see what i mean

[XooZQ]

How about we just say you don't know what you're talking about? Fair enough?

[TheVedis]

How about we just say you don't know what you're talking about? Fair enough?

oh wow, so now your gonna insult me? fair enough

since you obviously didnt even test your own guide here, you just spouted off where a bunch of mobs were without testing the camps

[XooZQ]

And you have yet to do anything but troll this thread with a bunch of vague "this could be better just because I say it is". /shrug

[TheVedis]

And you have yet to do anything but troll this thread with a bunch of vague "this could be better just because I say it is". /shrug

lets put it this way

350 per kill for 50 kills
or 250 per kill for 100 kills

all in an hour, which is better?

your list gives the 350 per kill ratio but what im doing gives 250 per kill with more kills

enjoy your lower sp

also learn what a troll is, i didnt praise you for your thread, woop de doo, doesnt make me a troll
