Levels 35-75
| Levels | Area | Pets | Prey | Additional Info |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 35-42 | Eastern Altepa Desert |
You may have to compete with parties for mobs at the Western Altepa Desert entrance area, but if there aren't any parties there, that would be the best spot. If you happen to get that camp be prepared to move when a party shows up -_-;; .If you keep going south of the Korroloka Tunnel entrance, you can find some dhalmels and beetles that usually are free for the killing. Do spiders vs beetles until the EM beetles show up, then you can do beetles vs beetles/dhalmels. At 39, EM dhalmels will appear and you can use those to fight stronger dhalmel. | ||
| 40-47 | Western Altepa Desert |
Pretty much the same concept as Eastern. Take note that the beetles on this side of the desert are stronger than the ones on the Eastern side. Beetles spawn at the large mountain near the center of the desert. The other pets spawn all over. | ||
| 44-46 | Yhoator Jungle |
The exp here for the first few levels is great. I must say, this was one of my favorite duoing areas. I enjoyed it so much I came back to it when Level Sync came out. Just get a teleport out to the jungle and you're at camp. Charm the crawlers around and fight the coeurls. They tend to use the blaster move a lot which causes bad paralysis. I recommend that whenever a pet is paralyzed, to release it and grab another while the other bst pet tanks the coeurl. A Goblin digger will roam through the area every now and then. I recommend killing it, so that it doesn't catch you off guard. | ||
| 45-48 | Labyrinth of Onzozo | Not too far into the zone, you will see your pets in a hallway between two rooms. This will be your camp. Use the leeches to pull any of the mobs you see. | ||
| 45-51 | East Ronfaure (S) |
Have both BSTs sub SCH or RDM for nukes (BLM is doable, but no healing magic is risky). If you use the warp from your city, you will see ladybugs and colibri around. Most of the Djinn spawn to the South of the spot where you zone in. Use Wide Scan to find them if need be. Send both pets after the Djinn. When it gets to around 94% health, start casting nukes on it of the same day (Firesday = Fire, Watersday = Water, etc). After 2 nukes it should use a TP move and might use Nocturnal Combustion (Self-Destruct). Rinse and repeat and don't forget Sigil with Refresh. GREAT EXP~ | ||
| 48-54 | Crawler's Nest |
If not a lot of parties present, then go to the area with the Secret Room. I also think if you go down the other tunnel that leads to the majority of the coffer spawns you can also find some prey there, but I always stayed in the Secret Room area. Be careful of links and aggro here. This is a relatively easy place to exp at as long as there are not so many parties around stealing your mobs. | ||
| 53-59 | Garlaige Citadel |
Go to the basement of the Garlaige Citadel by dropping through one of the holes in the floor (may want to sneak and invis before dropping). In the back corner of the basement is a room with some undead and a hellmine in all 4 corners. 2 BSTs w/ bats can kill the hellmines with ease. Recommended that you do NOT engage the bombs and keep a good distance from your pets due to self-destruct. The bomb EXP here is amazing as long as there aren't too many parties here taking all your pets. You can kill the other mobs listed while waiting for more pops. | ||
| 55-58 | Labyrinth of Onzozo |
At around the G-7 area of the Labyrinth, you will find your pets and prey. Be careful about meleeing the mantas as they use some pretty powerful AoE TP moves. Other than that, this is a pretty nice exp area. | ||
| 58-60 | Quicksand Caves |
Enter the Quicksand Caves from the D-12 entrance in Western Altepa Desert. Not too far in, you will see your pets and prey. The lizards do not aggro, but do link. The Triarius (WAR) are the hardest ones to kill because they hit incredibly hard. When fighting PLD mobs, I would suggest that both BSTs store their TP. When the PLD gets down to about 20% life, it will start spamming Cure IV making the fights last a lot longer. When he starts casting, alternate using Smash Axe to stun it. You shouldn't have any trouble with the other Ants. Exp here is very good and easy to get. | ||
| 58-62 | Uleguerand Range |
Camp near the tunnel entry at H-11,u must convert the rabbits there, tigers link so it's better to pull them to that spot.At 60 you should camp down the ramp in E-9 or G-11,pull Buffalos to ramp and help your rabbits a bit with damage.Chain will go down a bit, but exp will be decent. | ||
| 60-64 | The Boyahda Tree |
Convert the spiders and caps in J-10 and have fun,pull mobs to the entrance of I-10 tunnel.Crawlers and rabbits link so take care;avoid Mourioches,they link so easily and have Dream Flower aswell. Decent pets at 62 tho if you manage to get one. | ||
| 61-64 | Caedarva Mire |
Go to Nashmau either using the Azouph Isle Runic Portal or by taking the boat from Whitegate. Exit Nashmau from the left. As soon as you zone into the Mire you are in your leveling area. Convert the Saplings to EM. There are 4 saplings total. 2 are right outside of Nashmau and 2 spawn a little further in. The lowest level they spawn is 61, so at 61 it may take a few tries to get some EMs. Use the Saplings to fight the Marsh Murre. They should be able to defeat the birds extremely fast for some easy/good exp. | ||
| 64-67 | Wajaom Woodlands |
If you go to (H-12), you will find a great camp with plenty of pets and around 4 Puks. By time you get done killing the 4th puk, the 1st one has spawned again. You can try converting the spiders to EM, but you should be able to use T's just as well for maybe a slight EXP decrease depending on how T it actually is.You can also camp at (H-11) and (G-11) aswell using decent challenge bees,you will have to help them with damage though. | ||
| 66-69 | Bhaflau Thickets |
Head out into the thickets from Al Zahbi and head to F-6/F-7 area. You will find a spot with 4 saplings and a treant. Convert the saplings to EM (their lowest level is 66, so at 66 it may take a few tries). Right behind that area you will find your colibri which all con VT at 66 giving excellent Exp. You can also fight treants, but I would suggest starting a chain with them because they take a little longer to kill than birds. | ||
| 66-70 | Cape Teriggan | Sand Lizard, Velociraptor | Sand Cockatrice |
G-7 on the map close to where WSNM for Empyreal Arrow is spawned. there is 3-4 Sand Lizards there, as well as plenty of Velociraptors. Lizzards checks as decent challenge at 66, raptors checks from even match to tough. it takes about 3 lizzards to take out a Sand Cockatrice, or 2 even match raptors. Avoid Tough raptors since they can be really hard to re charm if they un charm. There's also a Goblin Alchemist spawning in the same area as your lizzard pets, he will check as decent challenge to even match, but it can end bad if he aggro during the fight with the Sand Cockatrice. Kill him off when he spawns, and keep your eye open. At 67 more of the raptors will check as even match, and they will also be your main pet at that point. When fighting, stand behind the mob to avoid beeing petrified, if pet gets petrifies just let it go and charm a new one. Note: Since Fields of Valor was added, this camp has become almost impossible to work due to pets being killed off by L75s. |
| 69-72 | Caedarva Mire |
Your camp is as high as you can go (elevation) at J-8, Map one of Caedarva Mire. There are two Oil Slick in the swamp to the west and lots of Wild Karakul to the south for pets. Your main prey is Heraldic Imp, with the odd Jnun to keep experience chain 4 or 5 going. Do not engage the imps! Let your pet do all the work. Area is heavily camped by regular parties. |
Work in progress. Add more if you know of some good camps. Level 75 BST duo or solo goobues at the top of the boyahda tree charming black mandies
