I tried soloing the Tiny Mandragora past-versions (forgot names sorry) in West Saruta [s] at 13 Scholar and even though they check'd DC I got destroyed by them. They hit me on average 25 points a hit and hit twice a turn. There was no way I could win. Decent challenge my butt...

Solo DNC

N. Gustaberg (s)
10-14 DNC/MNK
Tunnel Worms DC/EM
An abundance of these mobs especially if you just roam and kill them all quickly. Fairly squishy but Gastric Bomb slowed things down when I'd get it.

14-15 (ducked back to old areas since it got pretty slow here on the worms)

N. Gustaberg (s)
16-18 DNC/WAR (yes i know, no h2h? besides needing to skill up dagger, it seemed like it moved along better than h2h once it capped, which it did quickly)
Vultures DC/EM/T
I know saying you can chain these T-EM-EM isn't really fair since I was on DNC, but these mobs were reasonably well provided you had a method of healing.

Both of these do not require C.A. warp, but should have the Maw for N. Gustaberg (S). Starting from the area right at the Bastok Markets (S) zone and roaming an east-west sweep across the bridge works well. (more for the birds than the worms. theres a large concentration of them immedeately outside the gates but are past the bridges, if not as dense.)

Used att food Meat Jerky.
Sigil: Regen/Food Duration (yes, I am that stingy >.>)

I apologize for not having xp/hour but I can say I very regularly got at least 2 levels a session in comfortable casual play. Better than the headache from the dunes anyway.

I keep trying to get folks from my ls to come out and try these as a lower level/dunes alternative and get no bites :s

Same, except I was lvl 13 Smn/Whm, word to the wise, they are faster than you, so you cannot run from them. Also, Carby did absolutely NO damage to them whatsoever, although the Poison effect from Poison Claws did do damage.

After the Carby fiasco I used Ifrit and Garuda on them, it seems like the elemental tier II magic seemed to deal more damage than the physical blood pacts, Aero II > Claw and so on.

East Ronfaure (S)

• SCH43/BLM and DRG44/WHM (Duo)
• Target Mob: Colibri
• Checked: T+
• Difficulty: Varied, most mobs were killed comfortably, but a few provided a real challenge.
• Other mobs in area: Pixie, Scarab Beetle
• EXP per hour (with Empress Band): 5.5k+ / hr
• Rating: Probably could have started a level earlier here - good camp
• Campaign Warp: Not neccessary
• Miscellany: These Colibri act like Lesser Colibri - do not link, do not aggro, do not mimic magic.

[Clever Ninja]

• 14 SMN RNG and NIN, all subbing WHM
• North Gustaberg
• Trio
• Highest Conned IT+
• Stone Eater
• Alittle too early. I came here as a duo with the NIN at 16 the day before as a NIN/WHM and DRG/WHM combo and we destroyed this place. The worms hit kind of hard if they get through shadows. Depending on the group size 15-16 is better. Solo maybe 17-19 depending on the job.
• Recommended, it literally puts you at the worms. Only thing to watch out for is a random Goblin that will literally 1 shot you if you come in the recommended level range.

I know this has been mentioned before but I thought I'd put it again.

Has anyone found a good camp for 3-4 people from 18-24? We hit up Korroloka Tunnel and although it's still good for our range(we all hit 19 tonight) we'd rather fight in the past for the Sigil buffs to increase our xp/hr. Avoiding the Dunes has made us happy on these noob jobs and we'd like to keep that up through Qufim and maybe Kazham.

War Smilodons in Jugner Forest (S) conned DC to my 65 BST last night (got 66, yay), but to really EXP on them you'd likely have to steer clear of the outpost in the zone, as Campaigning BSTs (including myself) are quite fond of charming them and using them against the Beastmen Confederate.

I need to go have a look a the Biddybugs there a bit later, though I do know they aggro 75s by sight.

Oh and uh...

Jugner Forest, Sprites /check EM low evasion. DC Biddybugs eat them up o.o;

Ladybugs do have AoE Amnesia, not as fun as the colibri, but another comprable level target close at hand. I did play with the ladybugs there on 65 BST. Sending them against the colibri, they seemed to be on the same level. Good possible BST camp, too, that Amnesia would good against colibri when it takes. I'd say 42-44ish BST could do well here.

Friendly neighborhood pixie is plus to this camp, too.

I can confirm this.

Party Setup:

Red Mage
Summoner
Paladin
Ranger
Dark Knight
Dancer

We averaged around about 4 - 5k exp per hour, went from 40 - 42 If I remember correctly, using an Empress Band. Pixie's passing by will often throw a single Cure IV / V (Cant remember which) your way, which is always nice. We also went a while without the Dancer, still went smoothly.

[Omgwtfbbqkitten]

Good so that's really a nice CN Secret Room/Revelation Rock alternative camp.

[Chikamatsu]

Yup.

We started off just past the point you are warped to, but did at some points have to move further up the map as we were killing off the mobs faster than they can respawn.

However, at night time be wary of undead. Although suprisingly easy to kill for a party of 5, they can still be a nuissance.

Rolanberry Fields [s]
Levels 55-58ish

I was level 56 PUP at the time, and I really can't be too sure whereabouts on the map it was but the berry grubs checked as DC to me and I could kill them fairly quickly.

[Lunaryn]

We recently scouted out the precise level range for these grubs (49-52). They're nicely suitable as a pre-Rumble Crawler camp. Extrapolating from the level recommendations on campsitarus/VB, I'd say it's suitable for full parties in the 41-45 range. I've posted what we know about it to VB's feedback forum, but I fear the site may be mostly dead.

Maybe we should start posting pages on xp camps to the wiki?

I've also corrected the overly-wide level range listed for this mob on the wiki.
