Level 72-74
Zone: Mount Zhayolm; Zone in at (K-8) from (H-7) Halvung * Note FFXI-Atlas Zone Connections for Mount Zhayolm are now CORRECT *
Pets: Magmatic Eruca (Red Crawler), Assassin Fly
Prey: Magmatic Eruca (Red Crawler), Sicklemoon Jagil (Pugil), Assassin Fly

The camp I used is a bit of a Roaming Camp. After zoning in (and again currently the map is wrong, Zone 2 from Halvung leads to Zone 1 in Mount Z atm) you will run up the tunnel to (K-8) and you will find 2 pairs of Eruca here, ranging from DC-T. Going farther East in (K-8) and into (L-8) there are several more Crawlers. I would fight DC vs EM and EM vs T and it was decent enough for me with Sanction XP bonus.

It is also possible to wander a bit south to the Coasts here and fight the Sicklemoon Jagils (which are now correctly adjusted to Aggro Sound). The Assassin Flies will travel in "packs" of 3. Usually i found 1 T and 2 EMs (at 73, DC-T at 74.) They are not a "cluster mob" but they do link so if you decide to go after one, link, release, and swap pets.

Be warned that the Phasma (Ghosts) here EM-T are quite nasty and seem to have a pretty decent sized Blood Aggro Range. I managed to have the misfortune of Aggroing one just after dropping to yellow as i finished a mob... and it took a near death and 2-3 Eruca swaps to kill it. My advice? If you have a Phasma issue, get a pet on it, and zone.

During Earth Weather, an Ele will pop fairly close to the "Eruca Hill" near the tunnel exit from Zone.

As stated in my Halvung Post, Magmatic Eruca get a VERY noticeable TP Regen, Haste, and possibly HP Regen during rare Fire Weather instances, so be ready for some serious Ability spams come Fire Weather.

Like Erucas everywhere, these will go to sleep from 21:00~06:00 and will not link or aggro while asleep.


EDITED to note FFXI-Atlas's correction of the switched Zone Connection numbering. Its fixed and correct now.^^

Soloing Automatons is okay exp ,might need some dangerous swaps.

As far as the possibilities of this as a duo spot, not so much. The trolls take a while to kill cause of their uber Stoneskin move. It would be better if the clots weren't charm resistant, but they are uber resistant, so this place is mebbe 3-4k hr duo, Bibiki is better.
