That's almost as fast as I went from level 1 to level 4.
I'm impressed. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 10-27-2006, 09:56 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Digital Wizard Super Moderator Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Florida, USA Posts: 6,054 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood: Thanks: 69 Thanked 478x in 316 Posts Gil: 1,278 Bank: 148,450 Total Gil: 149,728 Donate | Re: Raving about Korrokola Tunnel Korroloka Tunnel is the one of the best-kept secrets amongst veteran FFXI players for the mid-teen level grind.  Glad to hear you had a good experience there.

A good portion of the people I've played with know Korroloka's arife with experience. It's just hard to get Valkurmites to walk all the way to Bastok. ^^ Of course if you start party in Jeuno with Rank 5+... | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 10-27-2006, 11:53 PM | #4 (permalink) | | Wild Rover!

It's the best kept secret, but not really by choice. There's a lot of screaming and tantrums that go into not getting a party to head to Korroloka Tunnel instead of Dunes, believe me. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 10-28-2006, 12:11 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Necro defender Join Date: May 2006 Location: ND, USA Posts: 289 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 19 Thanked 22x in 19 Posts Gil: 2,175 Bank: 1,439 Total Gil: 3,614 Donate | Re: Raving about Korrokola Tunnel Originally Posted by Kitalrez | | Yeah, you're both right.

Only trouble is when the tunnels get crowed then the xp isn't so good. I had a dunes party where one member kept insisting on the tunnels and threw a fit when the party didn't want to leave a working setup in Valkurm to walk to bastok when the tunnels were crowded. There seem to be periods when dunes hold better xp then the tunnels hold better xp depending where everyone is crowding at the time. I tend to go which one is less crowded if I can.
In truth due to switching trends I've found the xp averages to equal between the two spots if the party knows what it's doing, but the tunnels have more leaway with inexperience since a link is easier to flee if neccisary and there are more parties campting that will kill the linked worm because they need a pop also. At least on Garuda it tends to be crowded there it may be a better experience on other servers. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 10-28-2006, 07:55 AM | #6 (permalink) | | Veteran Member Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Nov 2003 Posts: 1,761 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 53 Thanked 299x in 153 Posts Gil: 41,173 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 41,173 Donate | Re: Raving about Korrokola Tunnel Buburimu can also be some great exp now that it's deserted. My old static of PLD DRK SAM RDM BLM BRD got Chain #4 280 there on gobs and bull dhalmels and we weren't even using juice.
It's really hard to get a pickup party anywhere but Valkurm, though, so any alternative party spot is pretty much static only (or at least a LS party with 3+ people from the LS).
A couple more little-known spots: Behind the outpost in Zi'Tah, mid to upper 30s, goblins and flies; outside the east entrance to Ifrit's Cauldron, mid-40s, goblins.  Defeated: Maat, Divine Might, Fenrir, Kirin, Cactrot Rapido, Xolotl, Diabolos Prime, Kurrea, 9/10 Dynamis Bosses (missing Tav), Promathia, Proto-Ultima, Proto-Omega, 4 Jailers, Apocalypse Nigh
RDM75, PLD75, DRG75, DNC38, COR30, RNG40

Despite the fact that my friend upstairs and I were the only English Speaking members of the party, (We went through a ton of members over the course of the night, something I drastically appreciate in a party is getting reps...) it was all business. Everybody knew their jobs, and what they were supposed to do. Only thing that drove me crazy was the 2nd Warrior would just not get out from behind the target.
I'm loving this game so far. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT -8.
