Commentarus:
To get to camp quickly, either teleport to the Halvung staging ground, or enter Halvung from the Bhaflau Thickets, before Escaping, depositing you at (L-6) of Mount Zhayolm. Like some other mobs in the Treasures of Aht Urhgan areas, the Magmatic Erucas are asleep at nighttime, during which they neither aggro, nor link.

All the Crawlers here behave more or less the same as they do on the main continent, except that Poison Breath is replaced by Incinerate, which is pretty hard-hitting fire damage in a frontal cone, which seems to have the Eruca's current HP as a factor when calculating damage. Regardless, keep up Shell and Barfira to minimize the effects of Incinerate, and have the mob facing away from the weaker party members.

One thing to note is that the Crawlers are considerably harder during Fire weather, or during Firesday, including signs of increased Incinerate damage, in addition to faster TP buildup.

This place can be done regular party style up to around 65-66. By 68-69, you can try roaming around, similar to a merit point party, ala Decorative Weapons style.

Needs checking:
* I'd like some more testing done on the two south-western camps, if feasible.

western most camp (just west of the NM crawler pop) has crabs, pugils, and crawlers. in case of firesday and/or fire weather, you got crabs and pugils to fall back on. at nighttime, phasmas like to pop near the shoreline. there is a little canyon to camp in but be aware of pops during the day. this camp is located by the western gate of halvung. you only need sneak to reach this camp once you get through the initial room of clusters from the staging point.

I tried war, nin, brd, drk, cor, rdm there, were doing around 16k-18k exp/h.. doing chain 10 pretty constantly.. camping between the 2 camps, kinda roaming party.. finishing chains on jagils.

I think the SW camp is not viable. There is a NM Energetic Eruca that spawns there. It will destroy any party that is EXP'ing there. It's happened twice to me so far.
