Let's start a new topic of where is best to level for party now that patch 1.19 is out. It would follow the same layout as the old one so it be easy to understand.
ORANGE (Thanalan)
GREEN (The Black Shroud)
RED (La Noscea)
BLUE (Coerthas)
X [10-20] @Sphosphae Dungeon - Bats,Aurelia,Grippers
X [16-19] @Aleport Puk Hatching (10,21) (Light Party).
X [17-22 ] @Camp Bloodshore - Aldgoat nanny
X [20-25] @Camp Horizon - Near Pyrausta NM - Cactuars
X [21-29] @Cedarwood Giant Crabs (38,25) (Full PT).
X [25-30] @Camp Bloodshore - North - obolds, Giant Crabs
X [30-35] @Nophica wells Mitelings (Full Party)
X [33-38] @Camp Dragonhead Hippocerfts (32,20) (Full Party)
X [35-38] @Copperbell Mines 2F Antling Diggers (Full PT). [COLOR="red"]
X [38-42] @Camp Iron Lake Young Raptors (27,11) & (27,9) (Full PT).
X [38-42] @Bald knoll Toads, Pirates
X [42-48] @Iron lake - higher level Young Raptor"
X [45-50] @Zahrak - Beastmen (Full PT)
Note1: Most camps can be done at 1 level lower or keep going when EXP drop below 200 with exp chain it's time to move on. If you killing way to fast sometime it's best to move on.
Note2: Should keep all buff up while partying and Stoneskin is a must.
Note3: sometimes you need 2 healers "Conj" the hate control is little broken and 2 cures the healer could take hate on the other mobs. Should try and provoke and AOE as much as you can to keep that from happening.

I'm guessing that the old camps will still work with an adjustment to proper rank. I'll have a look around.
EDIT: Okay, maybe and maybe not. There are tons of mobs in places they weren't before. Trying to solo and it's not going too bad. Killed a R25 Aldgoat Nanny as R25 Archer and received 220 EXP for a 45sec. fight, and completely ready for the next. R24 Dodo yielded 189. Going to try some R30-35 Puks in a few, as they have (had?) much lower defense.
I would ask that anyone who fights a mob of equal rank solo to please post the EXP they gained from that mob and whether or not you see potential for a grind camp. -
10-05-2011, 03:44 PMXooI would say, from the very meager testing I've done so far is to find a group of mobs that cap no higher than 2-3 ranks above you in their range. In essence, if you are playing solo as R33 MRD, find a group that ranges from 30-35. Although, I am now seeing more and more mob families with a static rank that doesn't waiver with respawns. So, more fiddling to be done..Quote:

I'm about to try and build a party of Lv.20-25 and take them to Mun Tuy on Wandering Wights. I just did some testing and they respawn VERY fast now. I couldn't keep them all down on R50.

10-05-2011, 05:23 PMZenakuI have a level 17 party 4 man trying out camps So far i found one but if i find one better i delete that one.Quote:

Found out someone that is 50 within your own party can kill mobs for you and you get 200-300+EXP for mobs 25+ at 17. I hope SE fix this issue or maybe they want ppl to powerlevel like they said.
Issue i'm having finding camps is to many links or run out of MP quick on the mage. at least for 4man. -

They also added a list of hunting grounds in the patch notes:
[dev1030] The distribution of enemies in several areas has been adjusted.
In conjunction with this change, the following areas have seen an increase in enemy numbers in order to serve as hunting grounds.
Central Shroud, Bentbranch
Central Shroud, Humblehearth
North Shroud, Emerald Moss
North Shroud, Treespeak
South Shroud, Tranquil Pass
Lower La Noscea, Bearded Rock
Lower La Noscea, Cedarwood
Western La Noscea, Skull Valley
Eastern La Noscea, Bloodshore
Upper La Noscea, Iron Lake
Central Thanalan, Black Brush
Eastern Thanalan, Drybone
Western Thanalan, Horizon's Edge
Western Thanalan, Nophica's Wells
Coerthas Eastern Lowlands, Fields of Glory
So those are probably good places to test things out -
10-05-2011, 06:10 PMZenakuYes testing them out there lot's of Puks,dodo on other spots and so on but issue is MP and links getting on to the healer with 1cure or 2. Without AOE provoke at low level it really hard. Starting to think you have to start making FFXI type partys 1 healer,back up,Tank,dd,dd,dd.Quote:

Because I like soloing, because fighting any mob that is 3-4 ranks above you is not exactly worthwhile, and also due to the fact that I am trying to get EXP on R25 Archer and Pugilist, can anyone point me to a camp with mobs at a static R25? I see plenty of camps with R20, 30, 35, 40, 45 static spawns but none at 25.
I will hunt around meantime..
EDIT: In close proximity to Barometz' camp in La Noscea (35,17), I have found Plains Footpads that have yet to exceed R28, though I'm sure one will spawn R29 soon enough. Beware of the NM.. -
10-06-2011, 04:38 PMZenakuIt seem like partying become a little useless Atm right now, seem best way is to get a powerlevel but seem dumb. I found camps here and there but not good enough for a long time to post. like best 3levels not enough to post seem dumb to post camps and have to move every 3level or less due to exp getting lower as you go.Quote:

just thought id chime in from my experience today.
30-34 nophica wells - mitelings: very fast repop low damage and hp. got chain 8
34/35-? coerthas (32,20) hippocerfs: again, very fast repop, high xp, low health. careful about the stun though -
10-08-2011, 02:36 PMZenakuI'll update now thank you :) How many people in your party? or is this for solo? Trying to find grind camps for party only.Quote:

The moles west of Bloodshore through the little cave on that mini island.
All Rank 15-16, and massive amounts of them, interspersed with a few Roselings and those furry Snublers or whatever they are called. -
10-10-2011, 11:34 PMZenakuif you can give me the POS i can see how far you can push the Camp and how low you can do i still have a few class around the level so i can do some testing. Still missing camps for high 40 but i have a class around that level too. So i should soon enough have a full 10-59 camp areas.Quote:

10-10-2011, 11:36 PMVahzlYou don't need the pos, just go west about 30 steps from Bloodshore, through the cave, and they are all over the place in huge groups.Quote:

Cactuars around Horizon are good from 20-~26/27. There are multiple camps scattered all over. Some of the camps are R20-23, some are 24-27. Just save TP for when they are low hp so you don't get owned by 100 Needles. XD
e: This is for solo, haven't partied there before. -
10-11-2011, 03:09 AMviion
North of Bloodsore where the Island has like a section sticking out there is lots of Squids (10-13 of them) all level 24. Perfect for 14-25. Be very hard to solo due to link plus they bind so would need to dup at 14, can solo 20+

10-26-2011, 12:53 AMDeathCrusader
Would definitely like to see more camps added to this, awesome effort!
-
10-26-2011, 01:40 AMZenakuI have yet to find anymore camps so far that the only one i found and got 1-40 using them without issue took me 48hoursish to get that level just partying no powerlevel. Took about 5days overall with 48-58ish hour of partying put in itQuote:

As far as 45-50, I found that Natalan is much faster than Zah'rak. I would literally be getting anywhere from 4k-10k a pull at the Hex Mask coffer room with all the wolves.
