I am wondering where beastmasters are gettting their jug pets. I am a 50 Bst and cannot find any jug pets close to my level in the auction house. I could easily craft them but once again the materials are unavailable. Its kind of why I gave up crafting. The Auction house is empty any more and it just isn't worth the effort to have to farm everything

First thought is that jug pet use really wasn't all that common at that level range with Charm fighting being the go-to level method. Come 75, in the old days, with the right gear and merits, yes, it became more viable. Fast forward to Abyssea and pets like Nazuna became viable with the same gear, new options like -PDT magian axes, and atma affecting pets, too. Come Adoulin, Charm works on some things again, but the max level of jugs are also limited to the old gear/merit options and are in need of some (pending) work.

Basically, your options are to craft or just slog it out until the 75 phase. You might even have to self-craft post that, though. Not much you can do about it due to BST not being a popular job and the general neglect it and others have seen over the years. If you're dead set on solo leveling, I'd say head to west altepa and get the FoV page for beetles/cactuar kills. Charm beetles and do your thing. Eventually you'll be able to charm scorpions and it'll get faster. This can take you to like 62, but it understandably slows down in the late 50s. Some old BST solo guides may apply, but mob placement changes way back have also killed some camps.

I can get capped in a worm party for what it is worth. I even have a Francisca but what I am saying is the auction house seems to be worthless for crafters anymore. No jug pets, nothing to make them with. Same problem with alchemy, cooking, or whatever you are trying to level.

One of the special things about jug pets is they scale as you level up to a certain cap. Like you can be using Seedbed Soil up to level 65. Several of the low level jugs sell from vendors as well. Wormy Broth, Fish Broth, & Seedbed Soil are jugs that will scale to your current level and come from vendors.

wormy broth is very cheap to buy but no real tp moves.
Still better then nothing and can use it till seedbed soil which is a much better pet.

I crafted mine when I needed juggies, but then I'm a high level cook and also have high thief, so that's not a huge deal.

If you got thief, you might want to look into mats; I did http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Lifedrinker_Lars for 63-76 for instance since the mats for that juggie are not hard to get, just time consuming. If you know a high level cook, I can say this as one; they might be willing to help you if you come with mats in your hands. (I do that, if someone comes to me with mats in their hands and I got time, I'll gladly make them stuffies.)
