Favorite old party spots?

I miss the good old days when people would level up on worms in The maze.. Still one of my favorite zones to go in.

(moon) (Do you have it?)

Moon or bust. Mobs that hasted themselves and enfeebled your party who also had AoE TP moves and native MDB traits? Aw yeah.

I was surprised when I took a party to the Yuhtunga Jungle Outpost to level up on goblins, and they had no idea that the goblins there produced such great exp. That's one of my most favorite camp spots when I leveled a lot of my jobs 27-30 back in the early years, and they thought it was only good for FoV Opo-opo bashing.

Is exp in the old camps better since update? I miss bird camps and citedel camps :/

In Yuhtunga, starting the level sync at 27 with bomb dropping and Barfira, I was looking at 300-600 xp per kill. Wasn't keeping track of per hour. But the party was still too low to leech, and they stuck around. So it must've been impressive enough.

Couldn't tell ya about Garlaige Citadel. I partied there recently, but it was before the update.

Dunes XD XD XD...remember it was the breeding ground for n00bville. Death and destruction galore! And I was very fond of Maze of Shakhrami. I remember taking my very first character in there to 16 for the first time and hearing about sub jobs lol.

I really miss the goblin camps near Ifrit's Cauldron zone. Those were fun!

The 2-door Weapon camp in Sky... those were always great :D

I think my first fave and still is (maybe see how it is now) is in Labyrinth of Onzozo, you'd fight the place holders for Ooz'! or w/e his name was XD

Heck yeah! one of my all time favs! Also miss the Kuftal Tunnel crab camps that would involve dodging that pesky HNM that seems to always show up to kick my ass at the most random times.

Solo Leech vs Bird camp On BST on the path headed to einherjar, I liked blowing stuff up in pso'ja too, The goblins pet, while I was on BLM. I did too many solo camps on SMN to remember lol.

As for favorite party camp Lufais meadows was fun.

I miss the robber crab camp in the boyahda tree where people pulled that NM

I do miss having to move camps after 5 levels because that alone gives you a feeling of accomplishment.

going to labyrinth of onzozo had a feeling of accomplishment since that area you normally do not go there before 60 when the game was new. It felt like a whole new area that makes you feel big just by having to level there.

thats one thing I hate abyssea/ ATU doing, new people do not see the exploring the different areas as you level.

I always thought Moon was a fun camp to pty in back in the day when I was still new at FFXI, although I spent majority of my time exping in Bibiki Bay way before ToAU came out.

Western Altepa. So much death...so much destruction and so...so hard to navigate. Also the velociraptors in kuftal tunnel and wiping to Guivre every few hours and cabs in cape terrigan. Hot damn, these places will never be camped again.

BLM Mountian nuke and scoot ftw

This ^ I miss getting to fight something new every few levels

Heh, back in November-December '03, when I was just starting out, I got to 18 and got my subjob unlocked and leveled before I ever got a Dune PT. Back then, Buburimu was just as popular as the Dunes, and people from Sandy/Bastok would actually take the ship to level in Maze of Shakhrami (worms) until around 15ish, when they'd move to Buburimu fighting gobs and dhalmels. I liked that route a ton better than the Dunes. D:

A camp I liked that was less often used was Yuhtunga Jungle, around 30-33, at the entrance of the tunnel that leads into Sea Serpent's Grotto, fighting Sahagins and pugils. Another I liked was Uleguerand Range raptors around 60. Also Lufaise Meadows rocs (Abraxas), closing chains with rams. <3 That's where I got my first 75! Crabs (and as you got higher, pugils) in Cape Teriggan on the beach, at the entrance of the tunnel leading to Valley of Sorrows, was kinda fun too, for the mid-to-late 50s.

I also remember a time when people actually leveled on Steelshells! Like, actual exp PT, not leveling skills. XD Though I think it was more Processionaires (crawlers) with Steelshells mixed in, rather than purely Steelshells.

None, they all sucked.

I miss korroloka tunnel, thos worms used to give out good exp.... what happened!?

Crawlers nest was good too, some great fun in that place, just don't touch the lizzies ;)

I had a party in Bumurimu oe however you spell it. It was quite intresting compared to the old dune grind.

One of my favorites was the decorative weapons camp inside the main entrance to the Shrine of Ru'Avitau. 10-12k an hour back in '05-'06 was great

lvl 60 at Labirynth of Onzozo fighting against coeruls. Was uber challenging for my whm. Had to keep silence and paralyze off tank. Not my favorite camp but a very memorable one.

Beach camp at Cape Terrigan as well as Crawler's nest and Kuftal Tunnel ^^ those are my favorites

Jump to a new area after every few levels did make the game more fun.

Bibiki bay!!! Birds, dhamels, gobs, and efts. Mostly just the birds and gobs though!! The tree was another for me. Imps in TaU areas. Onzozo was cool and killing the cats then seeing Ose pop was always fun lol. Depending on which job i was on and pt set up is what made them fun though. I loved magic bursting!!! I did it on BLM SMN and WHM lol. (always got bored on WHM so yea lol.)

Always liked the Boyahda Tree.

Bibiki Bay, Katana burns.

also by the beach, one of the few places where you can nearly touch the ocean. please return this zone to us in any future updates.

BLM burns in the past was another one i wish people still did.

I really never cared for Mana burns. I did them don't get me wrong. I just liked Skill chains and magic bursts more then nuking like that. I get bored easy lol.

My fav spot was Altepa between 30 and 33 when ppl crawled for xp in Yoahtor or got killed in Garlaige cause they thought themselves too strong. The camps were almost always empty and xp rolled from beetles and dhalmels

I sure liked korroluka tunnel. One day I decided to put a character on Lakshmi to level just to see if it was different. Well and they had unbroken record on besieged. I was totally shocked to find out that they did NOT exp in the tunnel at all. In fact I was told that only rmts leveled there. Instead they went to dunes and stayed there forever. It was very disappointing.

Uleguerand Range at 52-55 against Variable Hares/Uleguerand Tigers, King Ranperre's Tomb at 53-56 against Dire Bats/Armet Beetles, Pso'Xja at 57-60 against Dire Bats/Snow Lizards/Diremite Assaulters (though I remember fighting mainly Diremites, and only fighting bats to clear them away). Funny how a lot of my more liked areas fall into the 50-60 range... It's probably because I spent a lot of time figuring out how to climb up those levels on some jobs that were more difficult to attain parties for, so I was in a lot of parties for them.

There are a few others I really like, but they're not as "old". I also still try to camp at spots like these, whether it be with friends, or those who don't immediately throw up at the sight of a little variety, haha.

My favorite spot was Lower Delkfutt's Tower. Trio on Giants with PL fun times. Remember going there my first time activated my COP cs.

Delkfutt's Tower, Yes! That, along with Dunes, the Jungles.

And I actually liked Ayweeda Subterrane parties on the crawlers and traps, they were soothing and nice.

Bibiki Bay Dhalmels. After so many levels of Crab Fantasy XI, it was nice to WS something that uses Berserk.

Ohhh, Aydeewa Subterrane is also one of my favourites. I know tons of people hate fighting crawlers considering slow/poison/etc., but I absolutely adored the surroundings and the fun that a few puktraps would entail.

I find it hard to choose, but I guess one of my favorite spots was in Altepa, either in the desert doing beetles or in Quicksand Caves doing ants. I had some fun times there, particularly when leveling corsair and dancer.

MNK burns in KRT!!!
