Best place to exp using grounds tome or field manual?

[nephdog]

I am a returning player from 2003 and was wondering where some good spots to exp are using grounds tome or field manuals. Im at lvl 32 sam/war and have been using the gusgen mines tome and it helped alot following through page 1 and 2 but now the ghouls are checking too weak to be worthwhile so it is time to move on to greener pastures. Where are some other spots that can get me more levels without having to travel a long distance to get back to the tome? If you have the knowledge I would appreciate a breakdown of good spots that i can use that will take me to level 75 thank you for your time.

at 32 go to garlaige citadel, its an easy run to 40 there

Sweet thanks! Anyone know any good spots after 40?

Friendly advice, before you get to far with samurai and then realize its basically useless now pick up another job to main. Ninja, warrior, monk, white mage, blackmage, and thief would be my suggestions. Can throw bluemage and redmage in there to but they're not really needed.

alright well not being defensive at all what are your reasons behind dropping samurai are they not that usefull or whatsup?

In abyssea they dont have a crit based weapon skill and due to epeen's being top priority for most people, that makes them useless. Never mind that they can churn out 3-4k ws every 5 seconds, because it cant crit for 4-5k its considered too weak.

Honestly a Fudo SAM can keep up nicely with a VS monk because of how often it can ws in comparison to the monk.

Play a job you like, and ignore the haters.

Sam used to be a bandwagon job about a year ago. All those people who were on the bandwagon have moved on to new bandwagons today. A year from now they may be proclaiming their beloved jobs of today to be suck jobs too--war, mnk, and thf have been called suck jobs in the past, because they weren't rng, which is a job you only play ironically, for laughs these days.

There's nothing inherently wrong with sam. If you have fun playing it, then keep playing it. Until you get a few good atmas, and some respectable gear, your job in Abyssea is going to be standing off to the side, and out of the way anyway, at least on NMs. To my knowledge you can do that reasonably well with any job.

Hey from 15-30 Maze of Shakrami is AWESOME for GOV. Longer if you can sync down.

Use the book's Repatriation to move you to your home city. From there, outpost to Xarcabard, Valkurm or Buburimu. They all have cavernous maws close to the OPs.

That's the best way to use GoV/FoV for exp.

Yes, but for the new players who can't afford 100k/hour party leech spots they should do the next best thing and join a page burn party in Crawler's Nest or Garliage Citadel.
