Hi, where are the new exp areas for around level 65, any reply would be great.

From my post in the "hate ToAU" thread:

As a mid-60s warrior, I absolutely love Mt. Zhayolm. The variety of mobs you can find there within a stone's throw is excellent -- I've seen, and partied in, several possible camp locations with access to Crawlers, Pugils, Crabs, and Flies. From 65-68 these enemies will be primarily low-IT to mid-VT. As always, Pugils and Crawlers link, and I think the Flies do too (we decided not to exp on them due to the AOE).

Burn- and traditional-style parties alike thrive here. My first group here (WHM, BLM, NIN, PLD/NIN, WAR/NIN x2) pulled in around 7,000-9,000 exp per hour with consistent Chain #6s, with a couple of chain 7/8/9s thrown in. The second group (WHM, BLM, BRD, NIN, THF, WAR/NIN) did nearly as well, pulling consistent chain 5s with a few 6s for 6,000-8,000 exp per hour. Most importantly, the fights were enjoyable, and didn't feel like the horrible grind to which we're so accustomed. The monsters in ToAU seem to have less HP than their Quon/Mindartia counterparts, which is a definite plus; of course, their AI seems to be better, so they can be significantly more dangerous! The best part is, these areas aren't overcrowded, and there's plenty of alternative, isolated camps within each zone.

We found that the flys there come in groups of three. If you attack one, the other two will link. However we were a group of three level 75s so they didn't pose a threat.
