    Really? Aside from a select few (Yovra (adds), Hmpede (two at once is no fair!), Xzomit (Exploding babies) and Zdei (damage resistance changing)) I have had almost no problem soloing them on my SCH and DRG. August, Koru-moru, Apururu, Qultada, and usually Kupofried since I'm CPing at the same time. I actually farm the ones at Clionids, Limules, and Murexes because I'm trying to get the torques. August and Apururu together have next to no issues tanking most of the NMs.

    Granted I'm a Mythic DRG, but even with that aside my SCH has next to no problem. Toss on a Crepe for Macc, day's weather, klimaform, and make a self-SC to burst a Helix off of. Then from there just nuke element of day, rinse and repeat as necessary. It's fun to make 3-step Darkness on SCH; Immanence Luminohelix, Immanence Stone III, Omniscience, Ebullience Helix/Nuke V. :P Burns through strats so I can only do it every so often but I free nuke between them.

    Well good for you, but since it's a capacity points camp, all sorts of jobs will be fighting there. I might have done better on Monk, but I was farming on White Mage, a job which is bad at melee and even worse at taking hits. Whenever the Hpemde NM spawned, I'd take about 300-400 damage per shot and be dead in about 10 seconds flat. On the plus side, as a White Mage with Reraise IV, I only had to put up with 3 minutes of weakness each time.

    You can capacity points farm in non-escha places. If you are trying to double dip for silt as well, you can go kill the amoebans or the aerns (porxie may pop, but he is easy to kill on any job).

    It's hard enough to find a camp between the people TRYING to pop the NM's and the other people farming CP /silt without having to limit yourself to a couple camps. Besides that, there are still a lot of people who don't have August, Apruru etc. for various reason (Like the limited availability of some trusts... they really need to stop that). Especially when BLU, BLM, GEO and BST can AOE burn things so well.

    My biggest gripe is Charm killing all your trusts and pets because those stupid yovra / warden of love are at half the islands.

    Kensagasku had mentioned amoebans and aerns too. I did some of that for a while but they seem to have more HP or higher defense or something than the other mobs because I always seem to take longer and get less CP per hour. Links are also a bit of a problem with aerns too. It's a good plan B, but I'd still like to be able to have more choices.

    I know some good camps in Outer Ra'Kaznar which I had used prior to the release of Escha but they take a long time to reach and I have to bust down multiple Colonization Reives.

    Apex mobs in the gates zones. A LS mate and I duoing as GEO and DNC, with trusts, were able to get ~44 job points an hour during a double cap campaign. The Apex Efts in Moh Gates at J-8/K-8/K-9 don't link, and, aside from the annoying stun TP move spam, were quite manageable. I accidentally pulled 5 of the things at once (they have roughly 140k HP, and, iirc, were VT at 119), and we survived.
