Imps in the Mire was how I went from Lv.71 to Lv.75. A few scattered trips to the Bay against Gobbys, but after ToAU was released, everybody and their mother headed to the Mire.

Some Imps are BLM types, others I'm not sure what type they are. They seem to randomly resist Silence, but then never cast any spells. Dispel, Silence, and bring a few stacks of Echo Drops.

The Manaburns in Mount Zhalym just suck in my mind. I was never a big fan of Manaburns, but in my experience they really suck here. Flan dies fast, but to Refresh 6 people and pull is a real pain in the butt and MP.

With Sky access you can crank out pretty good EXP vs. Weapons. TP Burn or "traditional setup." TP Burns can roam the "main camp" and pull down 10k EXP/hour. BRD, RDM, and 4 big WSs. 3 WAR/NIN, RNG/NIN, BRD, and myself pulled down 27k EXP in less time than it took for my Glace to wear off. NIN, MNK, SAM, RDM, BLM, WHM in another section of the Shrine pulled down ~7k EXP/hour.

I staticed with a SMN from Lv.67 to Lv.75, so I didn't have to do full time WHM duties until I started doing TP Burns at Lv.75. So I was able to MB and put good use to all the nuking gear I bought and carried around with me at all times.

So before ToAU was released, everybody was in the Bay. So we went from one zone overloaded with people to another zone with all the same people.
