    SP Grind Camps

    I had trouble finding a post that listed the camps we've all been finding without a lot of 'name-calling' and off-topic posts. The same might happen here too, but I thought maybe if I started this thread, others could add in the SP grind camps they have tried and found so far.

    I DO NOT have a complete list. I only started ranking my Archer this week (wanted to test how the new SP system worked for ranking). I am currently rank 24. The method's I used so far were as follows:

    Levels 1-15 I soloed.
    15-18. Duoed Oilbugs and Opo-Opos North of Camp Tranquil (in the same room as the Militia)
    18-23 Trioed Opo-opo's and Puks and later Gnats in Mun-tuy. (start by doing Opo's only)
    21-23 Solo/Duo Cassie's/Puks in Cass. Hollow You *can* start these at rank 19 but it's a little slower sp/hr than the other options.
    21-25 Light Party/Trio in Nanawa Mines on Puks. (Tested this on MRD alt char last week)
    24-26 Great Time to focus on Behests/Rank 20 camp Leves since they grant SP, the leves can give you guild credits and both are geared to be optimal for rank 25.
    27-34ish Totorak Dungeon. You can start at rank 25, but depending on party set-up kills might be a little slow. Also, the dungeon grind doesn't give as much SP as other camps but the break in straight party grinding plus the added chance for rare/ex gears makes it a welcome break.
    30-35 Amalj'aa near camp broken water can net 30k an hour with a full PT.
    35-40ish Amalj'aa camp near broken water can still be a good grind spot for Solo-Light Party.
    35-40ish Sylphs NW of Camp Nine Ivies- near the big room at the top of the map Moongorge something if I can read SE's Map writing correctly. (I only briefly tested this solo yesterday). Con to this camp is it is a HULL to get to. Pro is it's an uncommon beastmen camp AND they are soft and squishy (perfect for a mage/archer light party).

    I will edit/update as I get to the next camp.

    Also, as I've been trying to keep track of different spots with decent SP I've noticed I'm not usually in a full party. I tend to be out duo/trio or in light parties. (Probably just what I'm use to as I was a Level 75 BLM in ffxi-retired before Level Increase). Anyway, others have posted some Full-party camps so I think I'm going to stick to my small party camps for the most part. However, a good rule of thumb, a small party can kill for decent sp/hour what a full party can when they are about 3-4 ranks higher than what is optimal for a full-party. Some mobs however, seem to be better low-maned by specific jobs/abilites than others.

    Again, the reason I don't have a full list is because these are the camps I tried so far based on my current classes/ranks. The main point of this post was have anyone who felt like sharing, add camps they've tried. Maybe we can get a good list of ideas.
