There are bees down in the gorges, near where Tumbling Truffle spawns.

Re: Bees
It's true! I farmed a single stack there the other day. Bees are my favorite in-game mob. So much so, I'm considering making a taru bluemage and naming him something bee-related, and utilizing *only* bee spells.

Ok, so thats a little overboard. But... I still like farming bees >:D

MNK/THF seems to be exceptional at this.

Re: Bees
THF/anything or Anything/THF will be exceptional at farming. It's the THF's ability.

This thread is soo funny. It gets pulled up every once in a while...

Re: Bees
Well, I like farming bees. It's my Zen time, just sitting in with my lvl 20 mnk/thf, Konschstat highlands farming bees and goblins, and the occasional tremor ram when my two hour is up. I can feel the peace and calm settling on me already, and I haven't even been aggravated by a party recently!

Re: Bees
Higher levels bees are punks. You'll realize that the first time you have to farm a coffer key in Ifrit's Cauldron and have a bee spam Pollen 3 times in one fight, each time healing itself in the neighborhood of 4 digits.

Re: Bees
What do higher-level bees have to offer in terms of farm items over lower-lever bees?

Re: Bees
Higher droprates. SE implemented a feature were the larger the difference between your level and the monster's level, the lower % chance items would drop from the monster. So you have a MUCH better chance of getting Silk Thread from a lv 6 Crawler in West Sarutabaruta if you solo it as say, 10 Warrior then 75 Warrior.
