28-31 (32) - Goliath Beetles | Vunkerl Inlet [S] | F-6, F-8, F-9

Peaceful camp here, and relatively easy to get there. Your place to set up camp is on a bridge located at F-8. Then on either side of the bridge is where your target mobs will be, so it can hold about 2 parties comfortably.

You'll notice birds in these camps also, but they are of a higher level range then beetles are. The good thing is their levels do not overlap, so once beetles start to taper off on EXP, just move right on to birds.

Getting to camp may seem like a concern, but I assure you its very safe and very easy. From where you are dropped off in Vunkerl Inlet, just travel Northwest right to camp. High level Pugils and Robber crabs do not aggro. Nor does the random Wandering Sapling you may run into. Be sure to enter the small path going west, not North. North will get you ripped apart by Goblins.

At night there is a Ghost that pops at the very upper right corner of grid G-10. Easy to avoid and no need for sneak, but important to mention.


Supports: 1-2 Parties, one in each side of the bridge.
Monster Name: Goliath Beetles
Monster Level: 34-36
Aggressive: No
Link: Yes. Sight.
Getting to camp: OP to Vunkerl Inlet [S] and travel Northwest right to camp.
Pixie Coverage: Yes.
Mobs that might kill you: None.


31-33 (34) - Carrion Marabou | Vunkerl Inlet [S] | F-6, F-8, F-9

This is the follow up of Goliath Beetles camp. Their location is right on top of the beetles, so no moving is needed and no change of area. Again, OP to Vunkerl Inlet and travel Northeast right to camp, a very safe and easy travel.


Supports: 1-2 Parties on each side of the bridge.
Monster Name: River Crab
Monster Level: 36-38
Aggressive: No
Link: Yes. Sight.
Getting to camp: OP to Vunkerl Inlet [S] and travel Northwest right to camp.
Pixie Coverage: Yes.
Mobs that might kill you: None.


Wanted to add to this, and my previous post here. The exp drops off considerably for the Beetles @31 (110 chain 4s), but they are still worthwhile (even @32) if you're going to use them to keep chains up while fighting the Marabou.

There are only 2 bird spawns on the south side of the bridge at (F-9), and 3 on the north (F-8). Not sure how many @ (F-6). Using this, you can ONLY use the marabou/beetle combo (28-32) party range, on the (F-8) section, assuming you put your camp in the pass at (E-8) (to use the bird placement to your advantage). To be honest, you should have the north camp @ (E-8) anyway, as the beetle placement is a tad sporadic for and creates unnecessary long pulls if you're @ (F-8) on the bridge.

Once someone hits 33, there aren't enough birds on either side of the (F-8) bridge to supply a party of 6 with consistent chains (the bridge is far too long to pull from both sides and keep chains going). You will always be waiting for a respawn, and the beetle's exp will drop to the low 50s on chain 4s, making them nearly pointless to use to continue a chain.

The combo of the two makes for a great camp from 27-33, but no one is getting higher than 33 here unless they're in a party of 5, or lower.

Granted, Campsitarus is a excellent reference to the EXP camps available all over Vanadiel. I use it often myself. But their section concerning past camps is a little lacking on details. I don't want to play down the reputation of Campsitarus at all, and I hope everyone does not think that.


Tuufless here. I created Campsitarus, and you need not worry- I'm actually quite glad you made this since it also gives me ideas to try out for more additions to Campsitarus.

To clarify what's going on with Campsitarus: first, I now have a (very real-life) job, so my available playtime has been cut drastically. Secondly, I'm quite a stickler for seeing things for myself, so all the campsites listed on Campsitarus are places that I've actually personally been to and xp'ed at. Put (1) and (2) together, and you can see how I don't get to update Campsitarus much nowadays. :P

Finally, Campsitarus thus far at least, has been largely a solo project. A little strange come to think about it, and it definitely could not have been completed without the help of friends who'd purposely level new jobs with me, or listen to my crazy ideas. But for now, it'd be great if there was someone else I could appoint to edit and update Campsitarus, someone who would be willing to take up the baton and that I can trust he/she knows what they're doing.

In any case, I've got a whole list of places I'm planning to try out when I actually get around to it, and that's only been bolstered by your efforts here. Consider this a job well done! ^^

Let's see... Helps to add new campsites that don't involve constantly fighting parrots, allows more flexibility considering job selections or campsite competition, AND makes more use of WotG areas? Oh, yeah, I'm liking this idea.

Could be interesting leveling in a past version of a lower level area, kinda gives you a reminder of where you've come from (though I really don't know if I want to remember GC).

BUMP to the first page, mainly because still too many people are using the lolCookieCutter camps and totally neglecting these awesome camps in the past.

With the new Level Sync option live and the "traditional" camps pretty much packed 24/7 now, I'm not sure if I really WANT to necrobump this, but... oh what the hell.
