Lets level...really fast (in parties)!Follow

#1 Jun 16 2011 at 6:05 PM Rating: Excellent
Trying to set up a FoV/GoV list for the quickest/easiest way to 75.

1-12 FoV book outside of home nation.

12-19+ (I think at 26-27 the Warrior Skeleton and Ghouls start to become low EP/TW) GoV (alliance or party) in Gusgen Mine (Page 1).

19-25+ FoV in Q.Island.

25-32/33 Try to sync to lv 19 and repeat the above (I Don't know another other place 25s could go other then to the Jungles. But the FoVs there are not the best imo).

33-60 GC/CN GoV parties (page 2 in GC). Try to keep the sync near/below 45. If you want these levels to go by even faster*, snag a sync at 32/33 until mobs become EM/DC to them.
*You will get the normal EXP from the mobs as they will con IT. Parties use to come to these zones at these levels (32/33).
**You can go with less people for quicker kills the closer you get to 50 and by 55 you can solo/duo the mobs for even quicker kills (this is for GC, not sure about CN's mobs)**

58/60-75 GoV Page 2 Bostaunieux Oubliette. Come with a way to sneak yourself (oils, /whm, /nin, /dnc). EXP caps at 2,600+ per page. Note sure if you can make it to 75 on this page (I'm only 60), but you can always sync down.

73-75 Page 3 Bostaunieux Oubliette. 5 Hounds and 1 Ghost.

75-90 Abyssea.

What you think? Where would you go instead?
I know that your weapon skill ups take a back seat, and one will have to go and solo for skill-ups. That is the price one has to pay for leveling fast imo.

Maze of Shakrami is awesome from about 15-30 in a party
Page 1: 15-24
Page 2: 25-30 or when worms con "too weak"
Page 3: (sort of sucks but you can do it more levels on)

They really, really need to add more books. So many of the pages are pointless because the targets are too far into the dungeon to be worthwhile. Or the suggestion of the page automatically refreshing after it's completed.

Skip the FoV book, just blitz the sh*t out of everything. You will clear half the zone on a DD job and never stop to rest due to leveling up (regen is still nice to have though).

South Gustaberg Stone Eaters are the squishiest, fastest exp you can get from 2~9.

Agreed, you lose xp/hour time by STOPPING to re-page than just to keep killing. The xp reward from pages at that level is so low it's not worth the time unless you are camped right next to the book. Also there are decent GoV pages in the early dungeons such as Inner Horotu Ruins(sp?) for 5-13ish with mobs less than a minute away from the book and having the first few pages starting at ~1k and build up nicely after each page, way better than FoV.

I only grab a page in qufim pt's on my way to camp and that's about it, and urge the pt to only do so every hour or so, so mages can re-obtain refresh.

Except you're still stopping to get new pages and taking extra time getting there.

South Gustaberg, twice round the mountain south of the Mines exit killing every worm will put you at level 5, save WS for plinking Quadav. I went 1-11 PUP in 57 minutes, though I forget (and doubt) if I had my Novennial Ring on. Naturally this depends on what nation you're from.

If you can find sync partners (and you're either happy getting behind on the skills curve or working on a second job), you can stay in somewhere like Gusgen forever. I did 39-53 last night on White Mage in about 5 hours just on skeles in a full 18 member alliance. Of course, now I need to go and get all the missing spells...

Very true, but a part inside me likes to see some other the game (even tho I've seen most zones already years back).
I don't know what the cap on Page 1 is in Gusgen, but when I did do a few on my DNC I wasn't impressed with only getting around 900 each page (we didn't sync low, we stayed in 20s-30s for fast kill mode) and I think I made it up to 1,200 a page.

As for 1-12 FoV, maybe it comes down to where you start? I usually do the pugil page 2-3 times in W.Ron while killing bunnies and worms along the wau. If the right path is took you can make it down to another book farther in the zone to take up one to kill higher bunnies and beetles iirc. Then I usually zone into E.Ron via the bottom zone in W.Ron and slaughter everything as I near La-{tab} = auto trans zone name (to early to spell).

Don't get me wrong, I want to see other parts of the game too, but I mean really SEE then, not just wail on random baddies that look the same as the last zone with a different colour palette. To do that, I level up quickly so I can wander to my heart's content in high level zones ^^

Page 1 in Gusgen caps out at 1320xp at the moment, for 6 skeletons. You can be at level 24-25 before they start conning TW and you don't get credit for it.

I was wondering about this myself.

One thing I'd really like is a GOV book down the stairs in the Oubliette sewers where all the bloodsuckers are.
* Mobs are level 65-68, so you'd get some skillups until 70s. Players would never 'level out'
* There are a ton of the things.
* According to wiki, pages give 2050 >> 4100 xp, which is better than page 2 1340-2680
* Could open up a spot in the entrance bats group, which always seems to have a waiting queue

It's just whining, but that's a long aggro-filled walk to get back to the single book in Bostaunieaux. I'm sure there are more locations like this, but I haven't discovered any really good ones. Suggestions?

60 - 70 is a bast&rd. They need more books.

No Parties around these days so I'm finding it hard to get good EXP once my Emp ring has worn and Adventuring fellow has buggered off.

Any ideas?

60-70 is a blast. High level guys (read level 80+) do the level 60-70 GoV all the time. Join a high level player and s/he pretty much power levels you. Sure you get no skill-ups but if you cycle through pages and stay in the same zone (never zone out or take other pages), you can rack up to about 3K every 5 minutes (after moving from 1.5K per completed page to 2.8K per completed page).

Sewers under Sandy is a popular spot on my server. Page 3 specifically. A couple of hours and a bit with him and I went from 66-69.

58/60-75 ? I currently don't know. I did most of the above on my DNC over a week. DNC is 58 atm (lvs 43-58 gained in GC, 2300+ cap on page is nice). I've been told Bostaunieux Oubliette.



Oubliette Page 2 is great. You're good up till 73 there before the Funnel Bats con TW (actually they start conning TW at 72) but with sync, you can go to 75+ Toraimarai is good too, albeit out of the way, if you want a smaller group.

And yeah, there isn't **** in the 75-85 range.

I think I thought I saw that there is a second book near the Windy Walls exit in Toraimorai. Anyone know what mobs lurk around there? Good luck gettin' a group of people with access, but I suppose it could be a good spot for a static of old timers? *shrug*

Any good dungeons in TOAU areas that could implement the GOV system? Aydeewa Subterenne defoliators camp comes to mind (Lev 68-73). Arrapago Reef skeletons/lamiae could be a page, if they could get the distribution of mobs and book to be convenient to a Staging Point.

Another solution to the book-inconvenience problem, if they really want to hand it to us on a silver platter, would be to just let the Magian Spectacles double as a page select. Hey, if linkpearls and spectacles can communicate long-range with other organizations, why not the A.M.A.N. field guides? I won't even demand that you let me dispense buffs, start elite regimes, or any of the other fancy stuff. Just let me view or pick pages. The subroutine is already there, just copy-paste it into the spectacles book, please!

Helped a buddy on BLM 66-70 in Vunk {S} pet camp was getting like 1100-1440 per mob (with band)

Any heavy DD with shadows can solo these camps (or mage obviously)

Oldton > Newton > Vunk {S} iirc

I've been away for a while and just got to 59 myself. all I have to say is...really? no one does TOAU content anymore? leveling there was so much fun and great xp. i know everyones into burning books while also burning them self out of the game at the same time but c'mon. that place is awesome.

I felt like a moron when it dawned on me how easy it is to leech GoV EXP by having a high level friend kill through the mobs while you tag along on follow. I imagine it would be a complete joke with a couple of 90s slaughtering target mobs for their linkshell mates.

Definitely a quick, painless, and efficient way to level optional subjobs.

My alt's BLM will finally shoot through the ranks without needing to buy her HQ gear like I did mine to solo.

Was able to level a little more this weekend. So I edit my OP for the 58+ section.

I did some levels there on BST and I agree with you about the area being cool and all - the problem is, for myself at least - exping is a means, not an end so it is hard for me to really want to do things like (for example) campaign (insert nice thing which has sucky rewards here) which are actually pretty fun, but don't really have very good rewards in terms of effort and time put in.

Worth it to get some sanction though, in terms of ToAU exping - my mog locker is good to go for an Aeon.

GoV is awesome up until 65ish imo. When xp increases to 25k per level. Doing pages at that point got really boring in my personal experience. If you have have friends willing to just kill mobs for you to get xp, awesome. Not really realistic fulltime though. Your pals will eventually become bored and rightly so. If you have level 90 buds willing to do that then they might as well do Abby/Dom for you. Solo most 90 jobs can go through a Dom page in 5 minutes. Better to leech that than to make them do GoV for lesser rewards.

Or, you could join in with other people around your level who need exp? As opposed to asking your friends to kill stuff for you...
