    Exp camps in Limsa Lominsa 101

    Hello, with the recent change in leves and behest, exp camps have become a bit more useful, especially with no fatigue. I took the time today to explore the limsa lominsa map and find camps.

    In this file you will find:
    Camps that look like they will sustain a party of 5 players, that are 10 lvls below the mobs. The map will need to be displayed in original (2000x2000 pixel) otherwise it gets hard to read. Also I'm not sure why imageshack made the pic lighter, but it didn't used to be so bright. I may try redoing it.

    Limsa turns out PERFECT for getting chars to 40.
    But after that still looks like boulder downs for exp grinds. There was a large lack of 50-60 mobs. it seemed to skip that and jump straight to 70+ mobs. The listed numbers are the levels of the mob.

    props to "Who Knows" of Fabul for helping me with this.

    limsa camps here

    Remember, respawn rate starts fast but quickly deteriorates. You may need to move between similar close camps when slowdown happens for about 20-30 min and then switch back.

    Raptors + beastman make this a 25-40 goldmine of exp so long as you get ppl close level and fight capped mobs

    Oh my. This is amazing. Thanks for this.
    I have one question though, and you may have mentioned it in the above, but it is late and I am not comprehending everything at 100%

    Are the levels written on the map the level of the mobs, or the levels recommended for exping there?

    Edit: Nevermind. It just occured to me you can't get over 50, so..Obviously its the levels of the mobs...

    Anywho, do you have any intentions of doing this for any other areas?

    I edited that in the OP for clarity, yes the numbers are the levels of the mobs. At the moment I don't really plan to do the other zones haha. Lots of time and death

    Hey, thanks! This looks like a really useful map. The whole move-camps-every-30-mins thing doesn't sound very nice though =(

    I agree, its just something that I've noticed fighting efts in both the black shroud and mistbeard. The repops start fast but get slower. I only wrote those instructions as a way to minimalize the effect, hoping to keep constant exp, even if while moved its a bit less. Happy hunting~

    Good deal! If we had more people like you, and less like 98% of the rest of the forum crew, this would be a much better community!

    Hey guys! WK here, thanks for all of you that took a look, nice to know people are actually using this! One side note not on the map, Mistbeard cove mobs are still the same old mid 30s grind they used to be, happy hunting everyone!
