  • Lvling post 70+

    Anyone know a good place where to lvl post 70's?

    My set pt is - PLD, DRK, MNK (me), WHM, RDM, BRD

    I heard Renpierre's Tomb is sort of harder than Gustav Tunnel's bones but it will be faster exp once we get lvl 72~ ?

    your primary options:

    -Ranp's Tomb (Spartois, Lemueres {I PT'd on these from 71>75)
    -Ro'Maeve (A/I Weapons, DS Golems)
    -Rancor's (OpoOpos, Scorpions)
    -Ru'Avitau (Aura Weapons, Aura Statues)

      .

      Kuftal Tunnel Cockatrice and Tiger is also a pretty popular 71-75 levelling place.

      As a monk though you'll pretty much want to live in King's Tomb. It's really fun and sick exp.

        Dj or Zane, do you guys are able to use Asuran Fists in the skill chain for bones in ranpierre's tomb? or is it still light renkei from sneak+trick dragon kick

          Light Chain is the key vs bones.

          Depending on your PT makeup you will usually either be doing Raging Fists or Howling Fists (if blinded since its 1 hit) to end a Fusion chain or youll be doing Dragon Kick with 1 other melee to end a Light Chain.

          DRK/THF with Greatsword is really good there too so PLD or NIN would do Red Lotus Blade > Raging/Howling = Fusion + Sneak/Trick Spinning Slash = Light. That chain on average does around RLB/200 + RF/700 + FU/500 + SS/900 + LI/1100 = 3400 total dmg to bones with a max of about 5000 damage. My best Raging Fists here is 1226 dmg at 74, not sure how that happened lol. It usually averages, with warrior sub, 400-1000 damage hence the 700 dmg in the above calculations.

          Ideally if you have a PLD tank you want to leave them out of the SC so Warrior (Decimation), Samurai (Tachi:Hanaguruma), are both Fusion so if you have that job in the PT you can 2 man SC Light each monster and do really really well. Ranger (Arching Arrow), Dragoon (Wheeling Thrust) are also Fusion but arrow/spear do less dmg to bones. In this situation you would prob want THF sub so you can end the chain with a 800-1000 dmg Dragon Kick and 400-1000 Light Chain.

          Add a Black Mage into the mix for Firega3 or Thunderga3 MB for 1000-1200 dmg and you can pretty much see how fast this stuff dies. BLM is important in both PT combinations. For the 2 man SC PT the BLM bursting each SC is critical. In the 3 man SC PT the BLM needs to nuke hard on TP build kill to keep the exp chain alive.

          Now the supa monk powa PT combo of ownage:

          MNK/MNK/MNK/RDM/RDM/BRD

          Asuran Fists > Raging Fists > FUSION > Dragon Kick > LIGHT. Feel the burn.



          As far as using Asuran Fists, it depends on the PT makeup. The other night, for example, 74PLD/74MNK/72DRK/73RDM/72BRD/73BLM. I was getting about 250% TP to the Paladin and DRK 100%. Instead of wasting TP it worked best to use Asuran Fists on the off-SC fights for 700-1100 damage to increase EXP rate. I would end up pulling it off the PLD at this point so Defender and Dodge came in handy. The RDM keeping the MNK hasted in this setup is key. I think he was hasting the DRK and PLD too but not positive. Got about 4-4.5k per hour since we had front spot and we were alone there.


          Sub-job wise its important to have both WAR and THF maxxed out for pickup groups here. You NEED a /THF there or you will tank. Also, like I explained above, you need to understand the SC there and pick your sub accordingly to maximize exp rate.

          Sorry for the long reply just wanted to give you a good idea of what its like.

            o_o Nice info Zane.

            I'll have to keep that in mind, since I have a DRK in the static. (>_> though staying together till 72+ would be pretty much a miracle)

            Working on thf sub now, when I can. God I hate the jungle...them damn bats aren't gonna be a picnic either. >_>

              hmm .. asuran fist not that useful against the skeletons since it doesnt produce light and you dont really wanna use it against an IT unless you have 150tp or so (which is not really a problem if you have haste and all the acc crap) BUT, if you really wanna use it, you can do asuran -> flat blade -> dragon kick, of course this is not a good chain imo, flat blade does crap dmg and is only 1 hit, there's a possibility it will miss since it's a physical ws not like red lotus blade which never misses. the overall dmg from rlb -> howling -> dragon is much higher.

              there's is a time thou, when i was lvling in kulfat tunnel, you'll wanna do darkness chain against the cockatrices, asuran may come in handy since it's at the end of the chain and you'll always get the most tp, you wont miss much at this rate (i hope).
