Me and a friend finally made it high enough level to join a Grand Company. In pursuit of seals we were trying to do caravan escorts. My friend attempted the one at Camp Horizon and the mobs were too high level for her. Well not too high level but too many mobs for her to solo. They spawned at around level 27 she said. So when I logged on and we tried at Camp Drybone, a lower level camp, and the mobs where even higher level there. The escort starts and the mobs spawn at level 45+.. I'm level 29 and her 26 x.x what's the deal? What determines the level the mobs spawn at, if anything? Any advice on doing escorts are we just too low level?

Also, I know there is such things as Grand Company leves. I was able to find one, thanks to someone on the forums telling me about it, in Nanawa Mines(or something like that). Is there a way to find more else where? Me and my friend both tried google searching and such but came up with nothing. We spoke with all the NPCs in the Hall of Flames, they mention GC leves but give no direction on where they are or how to find them. Thanks for any replies!
