Leveling in Windurst Area 20+

[chefsakai]

I am in need of some collective wisdom here. Seems like wherever I go my level is either too high or too low. The guides I have read are very vague. The Maze and Bubu aren't cutting it. Where are good places to level 20+ and how do you get there?

Everyone says "You gotta go to Jeuno" at my level. Any suggestions? TIA.

You really shouldn't be leveling around windurst at your level. In fact, it stops being productive leveling there after 15 (when maze makers exp drops)

Buburimu is not cutting it because 1) there are never any groups there- everyone goes to Valkurm, and 2) really, leveling is only good until 18 or 19 in either place.

At 19-20 Quifim is the destination, and the target is Land Worms. The exp will be amazing, and very easy. Head there asap, and if you're not sure where it is, you get to it from Jeuno. East Sarutabaruta --> Tahrongi Canyon --> Meritiphaud Mountains --> Sauromugue Champaign --> Jueno

The Yagudos and Goblins after Tahrongi will hurt you bad, so just avoid them by a good distance. If you can get a high level character (40+) to bring you it would save you a lot of headache, but if you are going alone, you have 2 options. Either change to a level 1 job and try not to get any aggro at all (because you will die from anything) or you can try as your main job, but you lose lots of exp if you die.

The area to be most careful in is Saurumogue, there are lots of nasty things there that still scare me like Goblins, Yagudos, and Raptors. Just be careful, make sure you have a map, and you should be ok. Sneak spell helps against some enemies, but unfortunately not the ones listed above.

Hope that helps.

PS. buy a map of Jeuno in Windurst woods H-11
