At level 12 i went to the highlands near the stray mary spawn. I would grab rock lizards and fight sheep, or grab sheep to fight sheep. At level 12 you will have decent-tough sheep and decent-even lizards. If you are careful you can try to have a decent fight a tough, and cast some spells on the tough during the fight to even it out. I found this an easy way to make 100-120 xp a kill. Now im level 13 in the same spot because im too low yet to tame lizards in valkurm. Hope this helps ya

LOL >.<

Hares are found near the zone from La Theine to Valkurm.

And Lizards are mainly found near the zone from K. Highlands to Valkurm. You can also find them in the most north western area of Valkurm but there are quite a few gobs up there and no zone.

Yeah thats the problem if the best leveling there for lvl 17-19 is hare->lizards how are we supposed to do it if they're half way across the map from each other.

Dont follow the guide so strictly , she is giving good combos to use (pet>monster) but u dont have to folow them exactly because the hell if im gona wait 10 mins for a rabit to spawn to use as a pet.

Use what ya have, if u cant find a decent pet to take down that even match, then heck just use 2 easy prey pets(whatever it takes).

My point is, there is no real ONE way to level, because too many things will afect how you level up in an area as a beastmaster.
Ya have to use your brain, its not like in a regular 6 man party where u repeat the same thing over and over again. For BST every fights gona probably be diferent.

I dunno about this, i mean... hrmm.... 50 exp isn't that much. The way i do it, at least at the lvl i'm @ is :

I get an even , let's say funguar, and I put it up against another even funguar. If mine is about to win, i'll use heel. Then, once mine has died, I kill off the other for 100 exp without loosing barely any health.


Is there anything wrong with this? Is there any better way? I'm just kinda confused right now

nope ^^ i did that a lot too, but i found out that just massing easies is much more effective, loose less hp out of all of them, get crap load of loot...may seem it takes a long time, but it really doesnt..

So, with using easies and decents, do you still want ur charm to die? If so, don't you think it's just too much trouble to find another mob to charm, i mean... time wise, when you could be rakin' in 100-120 exp with evens and toughs?

There are probably better places for us since that place is so camped ><
This is for level 40+

I also Tried CN, at lvl 41, seemed like a decent spot to lvl for a long time after 40 (if werent for all the parties), but the links there are super dangerous, a failed tame can cost you, hard.
Besides that, you will have lots of pets to choose from, I liked using the Decent-even matched bees >>> decent - even crawlers (easy to tame and their special heals themselves ^_^)

Another spot for lvl 40-42, is Yuhuntunga Jungle. There is an underground area that has lots of decent-even crawlers that you can use against the Goblins

But the best way is for 2 - BSTs, they will be able to chain the IT goblins for incredible exp. With my friend i got 4k exp in about 1.5 hours. 0.o Im not joking (to bad i was sleepy ; . Best thing for you all to do is meet other bsts your lvl, you wont want to solo again(after lvl 35).

And a 3rd Spot for level 42-43(maybe can go alitle higher) is West Altepa Desert.
There you can use spiders >> Worms (silence them!!!) for awesome exp. If you have 2 bsts you can take the IT Anticans, and probably even the IT dhamels as well. But easiest would be chaining the worms.

Ok my search continues ....

does this strategy still apply at higher lvls or is it better to just go for the bigger (but slower) xp by fighting "toughs" and above?...

or wouldn't just putting "evens" vs. "evens" be a happy middle ground through-out all levels (good xp and good kill time)?...
