    More grinding camps <Can I have it?>

    Let me start off by saying I love how leveling is now. Parties and camps, but there aren't enough camps to go around. worst level ranges are 23-30 and 40-50. Best camp is boulder downs for 40-50 but that's one camp with barely enough raptors for 1 party let alone 2 or 3. How about more camps with different mobs than raptors mobs that make it worth while to grind on.

    Always a good thing to have, but i'd rather they make grinding fun first. It would be nice to switch camps up every 2-5 levels.

    I don't mind grinding on Kobolds! They are a little tough but the sp they offer just isn't worth it IMO.
    Efts are fun in Mistbeard Cove. You just have to stay close to the walls and always have a Gladiator. They spawn so fast since there aren't any other parties in there.

    The problem isn't lack of camps, 1.18 actually put in A LOT of potential SP grind camps. The two big problems right now are 1) repop timers and 2) mob SP variance. Repop timers are just not fast enough in spots that are "obvious" grind camps and many of the new mob camps feature mob types that don't give appropriate SP for the effort involved in killing the mob.

    This will likely happen with monster redistrubution and area expansions, like in FFXI you generally stuck in the Gustaberg and Zulk regions for 1-20, then moved to Qufim 20-25, then Batallia Downs for 22-30 and/or Delkfutts middle for 30+, expansions released and clearly new areas came to fruition with new camps.

    We just really need new areas lol.

    Grinding camps is not what this game needs. It needs real content.

    Sure they can add more grinding camps for people who enjoy masochism and monotony, but they also need to add some more missions, a lot more meaningful quests, and redo the world.

    I am sure with the world design more camps will make their way. 1.19 also brings the beastmen footholds.

    It needs a mix. Monster grinding can/is just as boring as quest grinding. It just depends.
    I would like the options to go out and do whatever without a timer.

    I'm glad to see someone who also agrees on this. I'd be fine grinding or errand running for SP as long as what I'm doing is INTERESTING. Being able to change up from the same old same old is good for games and saving marriages.

    If anything just make it so I don't have to use my second monitor to stay awake while I grind...
