SP Grind Camps

[Honz]

For the low 40s I'd suggest 2-3 man parties near camp bluefog. Kill birds and incap sphenes can net you about 20k/hr without fatigue.

Raptors are only really good sp (40-50k/hr) when you can do small groups of 2-3 people but you can only pull this off if everyone is 46+ and having an archer helps.

The best SP for the low 30s is leve parties by far. A static group doing two rounds of 8 leves can take you from 30-40 in about 3-4 resets.

I think grind PTs will become a bigger part of the game. First of all I think Leve-linking is OP'ed and SE will tone back the bonus SP from linking. And as Nero said they are adding skill chains. And if they make some improvements to the PT search / seeking PT function it will facilitate grouping. All these things together = Hello SP grind PTs. And I welcome the idea.

I'm thinking that they will make the leve reset timer longer, but will keep the same SP rewards. In doing this it will benefit those people who don't have much time to SP in a grind PT or time to play everyday. I think they want to keep casual gamers and hardcore gamers near the same level thus the surplus...which the negative effect of it isn't much right now. I like the leve-linking for the fact that if you have a limited amount of time to gain some SP, you can atleast gain a significant amount. All in all though...whatever they do...SP grind PTs...<Yes, please.>

I miss sp grind parties.

Having to roam around and kill mobs is not bad, my problem with it so far, has been the respawn time.

Me and Nero where in a small group other day killing Mountain Pesti for AWESOME skill @R40 just south of Riversmeet.
We cleared from the bridge up to the camp just about. Problem was after we cleared once, we ran back to the start and there where no pesti. x.x;; We didnt kill them too fast, but they did die fastish. Other then that it was great skill for aslong as it lasted.

Raptors outside Boulder Downs don't seem to spawn as slow as the pesti though which make the more viable i suppose.
Neways hope some adjustments to spawn times on reg mobs gets adjusted for the better.

In your mid 40s fight raptors at Boulder Downs or North of Camp Glory. For your rank 30s class, fight efts at Treepspeak. Kill em as fast as possible. Zerg the crap out of em in a party of a round 4-5. If you're good at coordinating battle regimens, do that for massive damage.

I actually would like to see grinding become a little more viable though, as I think I am one of like 7 people in the world that enjoys the nostalgia of going out to camps, and party playing the night away.

Me too. I suggested some changes that would help here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-How-to-Fix-it

I remember doing yarzon/eyes in mistbeard cove in the mid to upper 20's as a group was pretty fun, felt a lot like the old school Krt runs in xi. Since then they have added flans down there, though there the same rank as the yarzon and eyes. (frankly there a bit easier)

all around favorite camp for ~37-43. South of Camp Crimson Bark in Black Shroud. it's sweeeet! efts and birds, plus it's really pretty there.
