SP Grind Camps

[Reinheart]

just FYI for 2 people trying those Amal'jaa (24 GLA, 24 CON) takes too much time was like 450sp if I remember correctly, it's good SP but not worth it for solo/duo at 24. So light party, full party should be better there like how Nathan's party did.

If anyone could post rank 40+ camps they've found that would be nice, I'm having trouble getting more than 3 people in my level range right now though, people 44-49 are much rarer than r20s or r30s, even on Selbina and it kinda sucks., was thinking about starting my own party going to camp and leaving someone in uldah to invite and shout. Mobs seems to be giving better sp, was gonna try goblin bouncer camp by the opposite side of the r25 dungeon and see how good of a camp it is. Because people love sp'ing off mobs with awful tp attacks, and I think bomb toss is very weak compared to lets say getting fire breathed at this rank by grass raptors.

Hey just to clear some things up all of my camp suggestions are for light-full parties, idk if everyon knows this but u get the same exp amount of sp for killing a mob alone as u would for being in a full party, so theres almost no reason to not try for a light or full party, and at lvls 10-24 its honestly only taken me a max of 30 mins to get 6 ppl together, u hardly even need a designated tank or healer when u have that many ppl, a mrd or pug with defender and taunt can tank just fine and 1 thm or con and ur good to go, the mobs die so quickly that theres barely any dmg coming out.

Frogs and Eyes at Mor'dona (sp?) they gave OK SP for R39-41 when I was playing duo over there while farming toad skin/hide?? The hogs weren't that bad either for quick kills.

It's not grind but noticed on duo doing guild leve isn't that bad either still, rewards you with 4500-6500 SP after clear and can get it done really quick. Noticed the Gridania R40 ones are quick and easy for most part.

Also, not sure how this plays out as you rank higher and higher, BUT if you happen accross a Behest that is at an unpopular camp, do it. You can get a bonus just for doing it. (Your log will say something like 'sp bonus granted for doing a neglected behest'). You can also get a time completion SP bonus. These bonuses can stack so not a bad idea to do a behest or two at a camp you don't see anyone at esp. if you are in a light/full party.

***I noticed this at Camp Emerald Moss on my server, but it might be different on other servers AND I'm sure it will change camps as certain behests become more/less popular.***

Ahh thanks, I have some people in my ls that are in the high thirties and I would like to get them to the 40s, and then maybe catch em up with my higher class or then getting up my conj with em or something, just to have more 50s in the long run. I might try trioing 40 leves tonight and see how much it is. Thanks for the info ^^

Party of 3~5 @ r15~20 -> Iron Coblyn (r30~34) inside Nanawa Mines in Thanalan (27,20) about 8 mobs near the aether. More mobs in back of the mines, but careful of Djiggas.

DUO @ r19~21 -> Amalj'aa Drudge (r28~30 lancer) at Amalj'aan Altar in Thanalan (40,32) about 5 mobs.

unattempted r19~23 -> some type of humanoid mobs (r30) in Cassiopeia Hollow (11,6) like 15+ mobs. agressive.

Party 2~3 @ r19~24 -> Amalj'aa Grunt (r30) and Amalj'aa Striker (r32~34) at Amalj'aan Encampment in Thanalan (47,27) about 10 of each type of mob!!! (20 total) GREAT CAMP.

unattempted r28~? -> Quartz Doblyn (r40~44) in Thanalan near Camp Broken Water. see map: http://ffxiv.yg.com/npc/quartz-doblyn?id=3102107

unattempted r33~? -> Assassins inside the plateau near Amalj'aan Altar in Thanalan (40,30) about 11 mobs

the ones listed above I found myself. Those that say unattempted are obviously because I never partied there myself, but they appear to be good places and someone should try them out and report back. Also please note if you are looking for a good camp so not just look at the rank of the monster. humanoid/beastmen type mobs tend to give more sp in my experience. For example, I could solo r30 amalj'aa at r25 and get like 250 sp. but if I soloed a dormouse that was r37 I only got 100sp.

here is a list of possible camps from a different topic:
25-30 cursed eyes in nanawa mines
[15-19] Yarzon Bleeder @ Camp Horizon > Outside Copperbell Mines (Light PT).
[19-24] Monkeys/Puks @ Mun-Tuy Cellars (Full PT).

[24-29] Skeletons/Gnats @ Mun-Tuy Cellars (5,4)(Duo/Trio).
[25-29] Hippocerfs @ Camp Dragonhead >(31,19) (Light PT).

[30-32] Buccaneers/Toads @ Camp Bald Knoll (Full PT).
[30-39] Young Raptors @ Camp Iron Lake (27,11) & (27,9) (Full PT). (THIS CAMP IS PROBABLY THE BEST YET FOR RANK 30-39!)

I do not know what your action bar or gear setup looked like but with a 20 MAR and 20 CON we killed these fairly quickly for 22k or more sp per hours. We didn't really keep close tabs on that sp and I imagine it might be 25k/hour (especially if you had a 3rd for faster killing).

Very nice info! I've been using a lot of these camps to great success.

You guys should collaborate with the dude over at http://ffxivcamps.blogspot.com/

Seems like the creator of the site wants to make it the Campsitarus of FFXIV

I didn't know how to send him a direct message so I commented on one of his posts. Thanks Tux
