I'm LVL 25 WAR in Qufim, what do i do?Follow

Well since you seem adamant about not going to Kazham I'd suggest Batilla Downs or Davoi (1rst couple rooms) as alternate area's for groups. You'll probably make decent money along with decent xp if you can get a good group for Davoi, but it can get very dangerous quickly if you aren't careful.

For soloing I usually went to Jugner or Pashow when I was having trouble finding a group.

I do suggest heading to Kazham at some point even if you don't want to go there for leveling.

Man don't be so lazy, just go get the. I mean do you do anything in the game except level up?

Yhoator was awesome xp lvls 30-34 for me. Chaining lil onion heads (Madragoras) non stop literally whole time. They do almost zippy damage to an experienced/well equipped tank. Definatley going to have to give them an A+. Area starting to get camped a lot now though.

Have to agree with everyone else on the Mandragoras.... excellent exp for little effort for 27-31....

Also, you REALLY should get those keys. It's not hard. Sacrafice a few hours of levelling which it sounds like you should probably do anyway... take a break. :P

Remember that quests, missions, and such ARE an important part of this game. Don't rush to level.. Take time out frequently to farm/do quests. It amazes me how many people hit levels 30-35 with Rank 2 and little fame...

I'm not sure how it is on other servers, but on Shiva, you won't be able to find a team in Khazam until 27+
so if you're only 25, you basically have to try batallia and qufim. the acrophies in qufim still yield decent xp...nothing like the 200 you used to get in there...but it still works.
I had a painful time getting my warrior from 25-30 but i did it all in qufim/batallia.
then i got my khazam keys later...
so at least now when my BLM is 27 i'll go to Khazam for the first time! woohoo

I'm not taking the time to get the keys..i want to go on the samurai quest ASAP. All i want to do is get my damn sam...then i will slow down and enjoy the rest of the game. So i guess I'll just grind it out in qufim and surrounding area.

LOL DOH! i guess i'll go for the keys then.

LOL!

Get your khazam pass =) I gotta admit it, i got my 3 keys in under 2 hours (well excluding the days before where I camped ghelshba for sometimes hours w/o any luck). 2 of the keys dropped in my first kill and in the other (giddeus), a kewl NA taru rdm who was killing all enemies in the back for silvercoins was nice enough to help me get the key there (which only took around 5-10 mins).

You won't regret khazam at all. The only thing I hate about it is that there's no one to give u signet (which is odd since it's got an AH unlike selbina or maurha). And of course, the reckless players training the entrance w/ gobs. It's a nightmare for most of the people xping, but heaven sent for people who kills gob for xp.

My advice: a lot of people are trying to get it. Group up w/ them...especially if they have a TH ability. You can also ask some high lvlers nicely. They might help you eventually.

Quifim is not vielding PT's for me that are hunting things that make leveling fruitful anymore.

Battalia is barren

In light of the above statements, i've begun hunting keys ... I started with the Gelsea Key (about 15min of key hunting), went on to Pal (this one was a bear ... a bit over 2 hrs hunting for key but got lots of other drops and made a few gil in the meantime)

Tonight i go for the Giddeus key ... at least i'm in my home area (Windy) ... worst case it will take all night to finish this last key and i'll get the pass. Best case? i'll get it in 30 min and be on a airship a hr later ^_^

if i'd have stayed in Jueno (at the rate i was going) getting a level takes about 4hrs which would only get worse as the levels from 25+ progress ... so in a week of my playtime i'd make it to level 27-8 ... :p

With the Kazam pass i have spent 2 days key hunting and i have 5 days to get to 27-28, but more likely i'll be about 30 and i'll have experienced more of the game.
