I recently restarted playing FFXI, but I have no memory of any training spots, anything in general actually.. I was just wondering where I should seek a party to level with? Thanks for any advice

The true place would be Yuhtunga Jungle and Yhoator Jungle from 26-31ish and then Garliage Citadel from 32-37. Since level sync is now around, it may be easier to level sync party in Qufim until 31 and then try to get one in Garliage. If you don't have a Kazham Pass though, you won't be able to party in the jungles, so you may need to get a higher level person to help you farm the Kazham keys if you don't have them or the pass yet.

Yuhtunga Jungle:
24-26 Yuhtunga Mandragora near Kazhaam.
27-30 Goblin Smithy/Furrier, camping the tunnel north of the outpost. Recommend this over Yhoator if camp isn't taken; takes a lot less time to kill Goblins than Mandies.

Yhoator Jungle:
27-30 Yhoator Mandragora.

The 3 areas around Jeuno:
30-32 Evil Weapons

Eastern Altepa Desert:
30-33 Sand Beetle
33-36 Desert Dhalmel (PLD tanks REQUIRE a WHM with Erase.)

Garlaige Citadel
34-37 Siege Bat and Borer Beetle.

In general, look up camps Campsitarus-- The guide to FFXI xp camps! ^^ and double-check that the level range is appropriate with Experience Points - FFXIclopedia, the Final Fantasy XI wiki - Characters, items, jobs, and more . Ideally you want mobs to be around 5-8 levels higher than the party (in other words, the lowest ITs). Naturally people will level, so it's generally better to start at 6-9 to leave room for level ups. If the bottom end of the mobs level goes below 4 higher than the party, the EXP will likely take a hit. (Hint: To calculate EXP before any bonuses simply multiply the EXP in that table by 0.35 for a full party.)

But it's better for mobs to be slightly too weak than to go to a camp much too early. People often make that mistake, going to Garlaige as early as 32, for example.

That is true, I know i've been in a few parties at 32 there including one where I duo tanked as a 33SAM...Yes I duo tanked in there at that level. Hooooooooooooooooorible I'll never do it again. I would just be so glad to get out of the jungles that I'd take what I could get. All this was before level sync though. Most of the parties, there were at least 3 people that were higher than 33 iirc and the rest around 32, but yeah 33 would be a much better level for Garliage.
