Campsitarus-- FFXI campsites and leveling spots! ^^

General information and acknowledgements can be found here.
General information on party dynamics can be found here.

Standard camps:
Standard camps are the common sites that parties go to, whether due to the ease of mobs or the convenience of the location. However, because of this, there is also a high chance of competition from other parties.

Alternate camps:
Alternate camps are the off-beat locales that aren't visited often because other, newer campsites have rendered these ones obsolete, or the campsite isn't the easiest to get to, or has certain other requirements, or players just never caught onto them for some reason or another.

Either way, if you or your party is out for some {adventure}, or if everywhere else seems crowded, feel free to try some of these places. Because of their nature, there'll be little competition, if any.

Solo Pet camps:
The levels provided here are solo levels and are a little conservative to cater for melees. Adventurous mages that nuke an enemy to death can try out some of these camps earlier than the recommended level range.

While soloing off Beastmaster pets can be a very nice alternative to party seeking, remember that you will usually only have yourself to rely on. Bring some form of reraise, sneak, invisible, and a way to get home.

Sometimes, a BST mob may not actually be at the camp location, in which case you will have to find a way to kill the existing mobs until the BST spawns. Such camps are marked in blue.

Finally, be aware that other higher level players may very well accidentally (or intentionally!) come by and kill your Beastmaster.

19-22 Qufim Island
19-22 Lower Delkfutt's Tower
21-23 Batallia Downs
21-23 Middle Delkfutt's Tower

Note: At Level 24, you gain Utsusemi: Ichi from /NIN, and a Reraise Earring.

70-74 Bhaflau Thickets

Some points to note:
* When a BST spawns a new pet, the pet will be treated as behind the mob. That is to say, you can immediately pull the newly summoned pet immediately, with no fear of the Beastmaster linking.

* Pets do not aggro- only the Beastmaster will.

* Special thanks go to Salacia for his original work, and Lion heart's update.

29-32 Yuhtunga Jungle

2006-06-26T09:08:00.000-07:00

Requirements/Notes:
* All party members require a Key Item: Airship pass for Kazham.
* Supports 2 parties.

Fields of Valor:
Book: (F-9), (G-5), (G-11), (K-6)
Page 4: 4x Sahagin, 6x Makara (880xp/gil)

Target mobs:
Primary: Sahagin
* Sahagin
* Aggro to Sound
* Links by Sound
* Weak against Thunder
* Very Strong against Water

Creek Sahagin (MNK)
River Sahagin (WHM)
Stream Sahagin (BRD)

Primary: Makara
* Pugil
* Aggro to Sound
* Not Linking
* Weak against Ice
* Weak against Lightning
* Very Strong against Water

Commentarus:
This spot makes a very nice continuation from Goblin Furriers, since it's literally across the cliff to the entrance of the Sea Serpent Grotto.

Remember to silence the River Sahagins to prevent curative magic, although wait a while for the melee to knock off any Blink shadows it may have up. As the Sahagin get weaker, you will want to gradually focus on killing Makara up to around level 30. By 31, quite a number of mobs will con Tough to you, but because of the wide level range of the mobs here, there should still be plenty of VT-IT mobs to pull, although if there are two parties at 31, things might get iffy.

Take note that the Makara are actually the mobs closer to camp, and are also slightly harder than the Sahagin, so be careful when pulling not to get aggro on the way back.

Finally, the closest Field Manual to you will be at the Elshimo Lowlands Outpost, which unfortunately isn't terribly accessible for the party to get a new training regime, unless someone goes off to take a break.

59-62 Wajaom Woodlands

2006-06-06T07:57:00.000-07:00

Requirements/Notes:
* Treasures of Aht Urhgan required.
* Near East access required.
* Supports 3 parties.

Target mobs:
Primary: Puk
* Puk
* Aggro to Sight
* Aggro to Sound
* Not Linking
* Weak to Piercing weapons
* Absorbs Wind

Target mobs:
One important thing to note about Puks is that they are unique because they absorb all forms of Wind damage. Wind-based spells like Gravity and Silence will be completely resisted, but all damaging spells like Aero, or Detonation skillchains will retroactively cause the Puks to recover hit points instead of damage it, so double check your damage sources, and skillchain.

Thankfully, higher level skillchains with a Wind component (for example, Fragmentation) don't cause the Puk to recover hit points, except when, of course, if you try to Magic Burst an Aero nuke on it. -_-

They have a very fast repop rate, so it's easy to chain these. Be careful to camp far enough away from other Puks such that when it uses its knockback move, Wind Shear it does not knock party members into aggro range of other Puks. Keep Baraera up to minimise the damage from Wind Shear as well.

19-22 Qufim Island

2006-07-14T21:02:00.000-07:00

Requirements/Notes:
* Beware of undead at night. (20:00 → 04:00)
* Supports 2 parties.

Fields of Valor:
Book: (F-6), (I-8)
Page 1: 9x Clipper, 1x Land Worm (630xp/gil)

Target mobs:
Primary: Land Worm (19-21)
* Worm
* Aggro to Sound
* Links by Sound
* Weak to Wind
* Weak to Light
* Strong against Earth

Primary: Clipper (20-22)
* Crab
* Not Aggro
* Not Linking
* Weak to Ice
* Weak to Thunder
* Strong against Water

Commentarus:
For the same reasons as previous Worm camps in Korroloka Tunnel and the Maze of Shakhrami, a Ranger (or Black Mage) party could easily focus on just the Worms here and take them apart. Remember to Silence Land Worms- as they say, a Silenced Worm is a dead Worm.

There are two main camps- the area just by the gate guard where the tunnel opens up, and the pond further down the road.

The gate guard camp has a few Land Worm spawns that you need to be aware of, as the Land Worms are aggressive here. There is a Wight that spawns a little ways out of camp at night, but close enough that you may get blood aggro if you are not careful.

The pond camp is personally my preferred camp between the two, as there are plenty of Land Worms around such that you can simply run from one to another. The problem with the pond is that Banshees and Wights spawn in the area at night, making things difficult during that time.

28-31 Bibiki Bay

2006-07-20T09:01:00.000-07:00

Requirements/Notes:
* Chains of Promathia required.
* Echo Drops recommended. *see notes
* WHM recommended (for Silena). *see notes

Target mobs:
Primary: Marine Dhalmel (28-29)
* Dhalmel
* Not Aggro
* Links by Sight
* Weak to Wind
* Weak to Thunder

Primary: Raven (29-31)
* Bird
* Not Aggro
* Links by Sound
* Weak to Piercing weapons
* Weak to Ice
* Strong against Wind

Commentarus:
Camp at the top of the docks, and pull the surrounding Dhalmel, before moving onto Birds as party members increase in level. There is also a Goblin Shaman that spawns on the down-slope to the docks itself, which can be pulled to fill in the chain.

If at all possible, save your TP for skillchaining after the Dhamel uses Berserk, which drastically lowers its defense. If you are with a Paladin or Ninja Tank, you will want to bring along either a good supply of Echo Drops, or a White Mage (/WHM does not have access to Silena until level 38) to Silena after the Dhalmels use Cold Stare, a frontal Silence move.

Against Ravens, be sure to keep Baraera up in order to minimise the effects of their TP moves.

58-61 Valley of Sorrows

2005-12-11T18:05:00.000-08:00

Requirements/Notes:
* Supports 2 parties.

Fields of Valor:
Book: (F-8), (J-9)
Page 1: 5x Velociraptor, 2x Peryton (1220xp/gil)

Target mobs:
Primary: Velociraptor
* Raptor
* Aggro to Sound
* Not Linking
* Weak to Water
* Strong against Fire

Secondary: Peryton (59-61)
* Roc
* Aggro to Sight
* Not Linking
* Weak to Piercing weapons
* Weak to Ice
* Strong against Wind

Commentarus:
This is the final leg in the route that starts with Kuftal Tunnel-Cape Terrigan. The Velociraptors here are actually the same level as those in Cape Terrigan, however this time you have the option of finishing a chain on Perytons, which are considerably harder than the Velociraptors. However, because of sparse supply, save the Perytons for either a Chain #4 or Chain #5.

56-60 Cape Terrigan

2005-12-11T17:45:00.000-08:00

Requirements/Notes:
* One WHM or SMN recommended for Viruna. *see comments
* Popular campsite.
* Supports 2 parties.

Fields of Valor:
Book: (G-8), (I-6)
Page 3: 4x Robber Crab, 5x Velociraptor (1340xp/gil)

Target mobs:
Primary: Robber Crab (56-58)
* Crab
* Aggro to Sound
* Not Linking
* Weak to Ice
* Weak to Thunder
* Strong against Water

Primary: Velociraptor (58-60)
* Raptor
* Aggro to Sound
* Not Linking
* Weak to Water
* Strong against Fire

Primary: Terror Pugil (58-60)
* Pugil
* Aggro to Sound
* Not Linking
* Weak to Ice
* Weak to Thunder
* Very Strong against Water

Commentarus:
Cape Terrigan is the natural continuation of Kuftal Tunnel. Camp by the south zone to the Valley of Sorrows, and start off with Robber Crabs (even more), and slowly work your way up to Raptors and Pugils.

If you are fighting Raptors, you may want to consider having a White Mage or Summoner along for either Viruna or Spring Water to cure Diseased status.

69-72 Ro'Maeve

2005-11-02T13:03:00.000-08:00

Requirements/Notes:
* All members require some Silent Oils.
* RDM recommended.
* At least one member must have a Key Item: Moongate Pass to camp at the inner camps. *see comments.
* Supports 6 parties.

Fields of Valor:
Book: (G/H-6), (H-11)
Page 4: 6x Apocalyptic Weapon, 1x Darksteel Golem (1540xp/gil)
Page 5: 6x Infernal Weapon, 1x Darksteel Golem (1540xp/gil)

Target mobs:
Primary: 2nd-tier Weapons
* Weapon
* Aggro to Sound
* Aggro to Magic
* Not Linking
* Weak against Fire
* Slight resistance against all other elements (+12.5% Magic Def)

Apocalyptic Weapon (WAR)
Infernal Weapon (RDM)

Primary: Darksteel Golem
* Golem
* Aggro to Sight
* Aggro to Magic
* Not Linking

Commentarus:
It used to be that you required a Key Item: Moongate Pass in order to xp off the Infernal and Apocalyptic Weapons here, although an update has since changed to weapons outside the two moongates to support two additional camps at (B-10) and (M/N-10), which have plenty of Weapons to pull. Just be careful not to get aggro from the dolls though.

That being said, it is recommended that you party inside, simply because it also gives you access to the occasional Darksteel Golem to end a chain with. The area inside the moongates, commonly referred to as "{moon}", is split into two disjoint halves, and each half is further subdivided into two connected halves. Each "quarter" of moon can comfortably support one party each with a little bit to spare. Pretty much any empty room will suffice for a camp, but it's generally safer to stick to the rooms on the outer rim of moon.

You may get the occasional magic aggro from the weapons wandering by as you xp though, so keep those Sleeps and Lullabys handy.

However, you do need a moongate pass to access moon (for obvious reasons). For details on how to obtain your moongate pass, I've written an entry over on my blog which you can find here.

Infernal Weapons are RDM mobs, and as such, have a lot of buffs that need to be taken care of, hence having a Red Mage is highly desirable because of the low recast time on Dispel, that and being able to land a Silence on Infernal Weapons more reliably.

Also note that 72 isn't really a hard cap on the area. The Darksteel Golems still con VT to a Level 75 character, and so you can actually xp here all the way to 75. However, there are just better places to xp at 73, which is why that 'cap' is there.

53-55 Ro'Maeve

Killing Weapon (WAR)
Ominous Weapon (RDM)

Commentarus:
Camp right when you zone in form the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah, and take on the surrounding Weapons from both the immediate area, and any of the two side paths leading deeper into Ro'Maeve.

Whirl of Rage is one of the more annoying moves the weapons do, and is basically AoE Stun and damage. Having a Black Mage, or even better, a Dark Knight on Stun duty to guard against Whirl of Rage will save the party a lot of trouble. However, the window of opportunity to Stun is very short, so having a Dark Knight with itchy fingers would be the ideal case here.

The Killing Weapons are considerably easier than the Ominous Weapons, since they are simple WAR mobs, as opposed to the Ominous Weapons, that are RDM. At 56, a few Killing Weapons may give too little xp, but there are enough weapons to pick and choose from.

Note that the Ominous Weapons, being Red Mages, also casts buffs on the other surrounding Weapons, so make sure to dispel any buffs the Weapon has, even if it's a Killing Weapon.

One thing to note is that you may get aggro from respawning weapons in the main area. In the event Sleep fails, or some other crowd control method, have the person with aggro simply zone out, whereby if all goes well, the add will simply disappear thanks to the anti-MPK patch. Note that this however, breaks chain for the person who zoned.

Overall, a challenging campspot.

Commentarus:
Note that party members that are at least level 35 and have completed a supplies quest to the Li'Telor region can use their respective nations' outpost teleporter to get here quickly.

Of the camps marked, your secondary mob will vary depending on the camp. All three camps offer Lesser Gaylas and Ogreflies to xp on, however, the eastern camps are better suited for 34-37 parties, throwing in Goobbue Gardeners in the mix. The outpost camp is better suited for 35-38 parties, with the higher level Goblins instead.

All the mobs here are on a five-minute repop, and you are actually camping in the middle of quite a few spawn points, so be careful. Communication between party members is important to avoid links. Also note that the Outpost camp is not in front of the camp, where the gate guard and banner are, but behind the outpost instead. If you are using the regional teleports, be careful of goblin aggro where you land up.

Commentarus:
You will have to cross through a section of Qufim Island filled with sound aggro Bats in order to reach Behemoth's Dominion. However, as they are also magic-aggresive Weapons in the area, Silent Oils are recommended.

There are two primary camps in Behemoth's Dominion, marked on the map. The camp on the right is safer, but has longer pulls and may run low on mobs if the west camp is occupied.

The western camp is more dangerous, but has the potential for greater xp, being able to pull from either side of the tunnel, as well as ending a chain on a Demonic Weapon (which the eastern camp doesn't really have access to). However, if you are camping on the western camp, watch for undead (Lost Soul) pops in the vincinity at night.

Also note that Lesser Gaylas use Jet Stream (a multi-hit attack which can absorb up to three shadows), while Greater Gayla do not.

Personally, the xp from Lesser Gaylas became a little too low for my liking once somebody hit level 36. While it is possible to just try pulling Greater Gayla and Demonic Weapons to continue onto 37 or so, I suspect there would be too much Lesser Gaylas in the way to really make such a plan practical.

30-35 Eastern Altepa Desert

2005-10-30T08:22:00.000-08:00

Requirements/Notes:
* Supports 2 parties.
* WHM, SCH, or Echo drops recommended.

Target mobs:
Primary: Sand Beetle (30-32)

* Links by Sight
* Weak to Ice
* Weak to Light

Secondary: Desert Dhalmel (32-35)
* Dhalmel
* Not Aggro
* Links by Sight
* Weak to Wind
* Weak to Thunder

Commentarus:
If you're camping at the zone to the Western Altepa Desert, you have the option of upgrading to Desert Dhalmels once Sand Beetles start looking a little too weak. However, be careful of Elemental pops when camping by the gate guard.

While it's very possible to xp here until 33, I felt that there were too many "dud" Beetles at 33, and would either move elsewhere, or start the transition to Desert Dhalmels.

Dhalmels have quite a bit of HP, and if that's not enough, they even have Healing Breeze, so killing them will initially take a while. However, they attack slowly (NIN tanks get a kick out of that), and their Berserk move (ATK up with DEF down) makes killing them easier. If you have a NIN tank, you might not actually want to Dispel the Berserk. ^^ Also, the (J-8) camp doesn't have much in terms of Dhalmels to kill.

Either way, pulls from both camps are rather long, so be sure to take that into account.

21-23 Qufim Island

2006-06-22T23:40:00.000-07:00

Primary: Assorted Gigas (22-23)
* Gigas
* Aggro to Sight
* Links by Sight
* Strong against Ice
* Very Strong against Thunder

Commentarus:
Pugils and Gigas round off the Qufim leg for most people, with people opting to move onto the Jungles afterwards. Technically, xp here is only good up to Level 23, although newer players (or weaker parties) can xp all the way up to 25 before moving on.

Camps are scattered throughout Qufim. The popular camps are those shown to the north-west, right outside Delkfutt's Tower (F/G-6), and "Pug Alley" (H-6). Both of these camps can support two parties each, while everywhere else supports just one.

As per normal Qufim rules, be careful of undead pops during nighttime, as there are some undead spawn points that are fairly close to camp. Fortunately, should you see an undead pop, you have a few seconds to quickly move out of its aggro range.

If you choose to xp here past Level 23, your puller will need to start being selective with the mobs he's pulling, to make sure that he takes the higher-end mobs that will yield decent xp. Pugils are preferred over Gigas, mostly due to safer pulling, as well as being easier to manage in camp.

Also remember that unlike the vast majority of Pugils in Vana'diel, Greater Pugils link.

Target mobs:
Primary: Hill Lizard
* Lizard
* Not Aggro
* Links by Sound
* Weak against Ice
* Weak against Wind

Commentarus:
It's highly recommended that you set your homepoint at the gate guard by the zone to the Konschtat Highlands. In the event you die, you can just homepoint and continue from where you left off. At this level, you only lose 250xp or so from a homepoint, and in the time it will take your party to find someone who can Raise, and rest off weakness (5 minutes), you would've gotten more xp just by homepointing and walking back to camp.

Keep the Lizard away from the mages, since they have an Area of Effect (AoE) move, Fireball.

13-16 Valkurm Dunes

2006-02-13T22:07:00.000-08:00

Requirements/Notes:

Fields of Valor:

* Weak to Thunder
* Strong against Water

Primary: Damselfly (14-16)
* Fly
* Not Aggro
* Links by Sound
* Weak against Piercing weapons
* Weak against Ice
* Strong against Wind

Commentarus:
Snippers and Damselflies mark the second stage of the leveling grind through the Valkurm Dunes. They are also particularly important to level off, because they drop the Crab Apron and Damselfly Worm that is used in the subjob quest at Selbina.

There are many camps available, so feel free to explore and choose one that is open. Bear in mind that if you camp at the shore, there may be another party, although if they are focusing on the harder Beach Pugils and Goblins, the two parties can share the same spot (and the beaches are rather spacious anyway).

The two campspots at the Valkurm Dunes Outpost, and outside Selbina are also generally lacking in Snippers, so people just focus on Damselflies here. Like earlier with Hill Lizards, it is advised to set your homepoint in Selbina, so in the event of a death, the member can simply homepoint and quickly rejoin the party.

One thing to note though, if you are partying on Whitebone Sands, is that the Damselflies in the area are placeholders for a Fly NM, the Valkurm Emperor, which drops the highly sought-after Empress Hairpin, and as such, higher-level hunters may be in the area killing any Damselflies.

14-16 Buburimu Peninsula

2006-06-06T00:32:00.000-07:00

Requirements/Notes:
* Echo Drops recommended.

* Strong against Wind

Primary: Carnivorous Crawler
* Crawler
* Not Aggressive
* Links by Sound
* Weak to Ice
* Weak to Thunder
* Weak to Darkness

Commentarus:
Bull Dhalmel and Zu are similar to Damselflies in the Valkurm Dunes, although the Buburimu Peninsula is far less crowded (if ever).

Ninja tanks in particular like Dhalmels- they hit hard, but attack slowly, so Utsusemi will last a while. That being said, Dhalmel have a move called Cold Stare, which is a frontal Silence move. However, you need to be facing the Dhalmel in order for the Silence to take effect, so have your mages turn away from the Dhalmel to avoid getting Silenced.

Dhalmels also can Berserk, which, like the Warrior ability increases their attack (so the tank will take more damage), but drastically reduces their defense. If possible, save your weaponskills until after the Dhalmel uses Berserk for oodles of damage.

Zus and Carnivorous Crawlers are exactly the same level range as Bull Dhalmels. When fighting Zus, have your White Mage cast Baraera to minimise the damage from one of the Zu's special attacks, Wing Cutter.

In addition, mobs here are fairly spaced out, and in addition, some lower-tier Goblins may be interspersed here and there. When the highest level member of the party hits Level 16, quite a few of the mobs will con as Tough to him, although there will still be a few Incredibly Tough mobs here and there.

Other linking mobs:

* Rock Golem (Sight, Magic)

Commentarus:
This is a very challenging camp in the sense that aggro can practically come from all directions, so be prepared with your Reraise Earring! That being said, at least coming back here is easy, just as long as you have the Li'Telor outpost activated.

One thing that you must be especially careful of are the Goblins themselves. The thing that makes this camp so difficult is that all the goblins here have a very large area which they roam, so be sure to pull your pet a considerable distance away from the master once you pull.

In addition, there are all sorts of other environmental concerns you have to be wary of- aggro from bats and links from the surrounding Leeches. To be mindful of both sight and sound aggro, and still rake in decent xp, is not exactly a walk in the park, to say the least.

Scholars might be rather annoyed soloing here, since they can't use their latest spell (Water II) against the Leeches, due to their innate Water resistance.

So why solo here? Simply put, there are 3-4 Goblin Traders within close proximity, and they're always there (unless someone's killing them).

Beastmaster Pet Camps

2008-08-08T01:50:00.000-07:00

Please note:
The levels provided here are solo levels, so you will need to adjust accordingly if you bring a duo or trio down to these camps. The level ranges are a little conservative to cater for melees. Adventurous mages that nuke an enemy to death can try out some of these camps one level below the recommended level range.

While soloing off Beastmaster pets can be a very nice alternative to party seeking, remember that you will usually only have yourself to rely on. Bring some form of reraise, sneak, invisible, and a way to get home.

Sometimes, a BST mob may not actually be at the camp location, in which case you will have to find a way to kill the existing mobs until the BST spawns. Such camps are marked in blue.

Finally, be aware that other higher level players may very well accidentally (or intentionally) come by and kill your Beastmaster.

Some points to note:
* When a BST spawns a new pet, the pet will be treated as behind the mob. That is to say, you can immediately pull the newly summoned pet immediately, with no fear of the Beastmaster linking.

* Pets do not aggro- only the Beastmaster will.

* Special thanks go to Salacia for his original work.

Other linking mobs:

Commentarus:
This is one of the better camps for this regions, simply because, barring the Goblin Pathfinder itself, the surrounding area is completely free from aggro, and the Pathfinder is always present.

There is one minor speed bump in an Island Rarab within the vincinity that you need to watch out for, but it's very easy to work around.

Other than that, the other major problem with this spot is that, because it's so good, you are likely to find another soloist there first, so do check the area before heading down yourself.

Commentarus:
These regular Colibri are the second tier of these bird species found within the Aht Urhgan areas. Colibris follow an evolutionary trend- that is to say that, in addition to all the things Lesser Colibri do, these regular Colibri will also mimic any magic spell cast on it, namely white magic, black magic, ninjutsu and songs, including those that a PUP's automaton casts.

If you happen to kill too quickly and are on the middle camp, you can pull a Date Eruca to try and maintain your chain. Beware though- the Erucas link during the daytime, and have a very nasty TP move, Incinerate, that can do a lot of damage to your tank, particularly during Firesday. Get Barfire ready should you need to fight an Eruca.

73-75 Bhaflau Thickets

* Nyzul Isle staging point can be used to get to camp.
* 1 Imperial silver piece to access the ruins if you're walking here.

How to get there:
1. Bring an Imperial silver piece to access the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins.
2. Enter the ruins from (F-6) of the Bhaflau Thickets.
3. Take the really bright portal in the first room.
4. Then, take the other really bright portal.

-If you took the runic portal, follow the instructions from this point onwards.-

5. Take the portal right in the middle of (G-9). (If you walked here, head south from where you pop and it'll be the first portal you see.)
6. Take the dim-lit portal.
7. Exit as normal.

* Very Strong against Wind

Commentarus:
This part of the Bhaflau Thickets can be split into three zones- the "upper", "middle", and "lower" sections. Each section supports one party. Note that once you drop down, you cannot get back up to a higher section.

The top section is filled with DRG and BST Mamool Ja, providing easy chains. The middle and bottom section is populated by Greater Colibri and Wivres, which are not xp mobs. The Greater Colibri are unique to this part of the Bhaflau Thickets, and thus will the the focus of this entry.

As mentioned, the bottom section supports 2 parties- one party just after the dropoff from the top setion, and one more on the far west side, closer to the Halvung zone.

Greater Colibri share all the traits of regular Colibri, including their Mime traits. However, Greater Colibri also link by sight, unlike their lesser cousins. Because of Snatch Morsel, you will have to take into account that you will be fighting without food effects for much of the time. Fortunately, Greater Colibri are just as squishy as ever. They do, however, have noticeably high evasion, so bring a BRD or COR in your party though to cater for this.

There's no need to hold back on enfeebles because of Reflect since debuffs land easily. If you insist on having some form of food buff, bring something cheap, like Mithkabobs.

Overall, it's an easy camp, but still exercise some caution as things can get out of hand quickly. One trick you may want to use is to Dia a Colibri, so it will mimic it (most likely) to you. You are now safe from any mimicked Sleep effects! Finally, for obvious reasons, do not Sleepga or Horde Lullaby the Greater Colibri unless absolutely necessary.

Finally, unlike many of the ToAU camps, you will not be able to get back to a runic portal to teleport back to Aht Urhgan, so be sure to have a way of getting back by yourself (be it a BLM, Warp Cudgel, or whatnot.)

* Weak against Piercing weapons

Other aggressive mobs:

Other linking mobs:

Commentarus:
This camp is a little bit annoying because of two things- first, the surrounding Gallinippers, all of which will link to your pet via sound, make some otherwise clean pulls difficult. Secondly, the Goblin Pathfinder has a large wandering area, so finding a safe spot to rest and still be able to keep track of the BST's whereabouts so you can maintain the chain may get rather annoying.

Besides that though, the camp is actually fairly decent. There are a few other goblins in the area to watch out for, but I found them easy to avoid.

Other linking mobs:

Commentarus:
Gigas's Tigers make for very nice xp, although actually getting to camp is rather troublesome as the Fauregandi outpost isn't available to you until level 35. Personally, I just found it easier to run here from East Ronfaure, through the Ranguemont Pass.

There are two notable camps throughout the glacier, although the safest one by a considerable margin is at (I-9). Just at the bottom of the slope is an opening with one (hopefully "Rime") Gigas and one Tundra Tiger.

For the more daring soloists, Mirror Pond all the way to the northeast, has two Gigas, both of which have the potential to be Rime Gigas, so you can get some higher chains there. However, Ice Elementals also spawn in the vincinity during blizzards, so if you want to solo here, it's better to have some way to pull a mob that isn't magic-based.
