Detailed Solo Guide - Lv. 19-70Follow

how do you convert goblins?

I'm wondering about an alternative camp to Newton Movolpolos 64-70
myself, and I'm having the same problem with dying >.< you'd think at
64 I would have figured ways around this, but meh. I did Castle Z all
the way through from 40-44, and I started out with that death problem.
Once you get used to the camp, and the types of eles, it gets alot easier.
And yeah, Blizzard 2 really did make a difference. Dark Elementals, and
Light Elementals became the bane of my existance for awhile there.
(Light Eles at the next camp) Hope you get passed the deaths and to 44
I didn't find an alternate for that level =(

I don't think so, I ran around quite a bit in there cause the camp was taken too, and I didn't see any other bsts. But wow... 11k per hour at lvl54, no wonder this place is overcamped

heyheyhey! iono if this has been mentioned yet but lvl62-66ish u can fight Qiqirn Enterprisers in Aydeewa Subterrane at the blu jobunlock thingie...i can nail over 500 xp per kill with emp band on at lvl63 and there fairly easy as long as ur sleep sticks...i'd say it'll resist every 4/10 times...XD but anyways no one ever partys or solos there usualy so u'd have it all 2 urself anyone ^^

Newton pet bats have over 1150 max hp at times >< (lv 56 tried to kill them noing i could do over 1070 dmg, but didnt work out lol)

Just a small comment here:

The camp 38-40 posted by Mattnumbers at Xarcabard with giga's tiger might be good. But there are actually two downsides. One is you most likely need to convert the gigas there, and the other is that the cave is a Dark Elemental spawn area. Curious enough, it doesn't show as that on the maps from ffxi-atlas. The least i can say is: The thing popped behind me when i was just hanging around the cave (because i needed to convert the gigas hehehe - good thing, i was lucky not to be caught casting things).

I have been leveling off of Tonberry Elementals in the Temple of Uggalepih @ (K-3) for 40-43 so far. Getting 44 then I'm am getting out of here! I hate elementals... This camp rocks, I am right at a zone for those just in case situations, and the only threat besides the pets master is an occasional Torama that roams the hallways. And for the record, I HATE Castle Zvahl Baileys... So much death there, it made my feel good hurt :(

Edit for a spelling mistake :P

Hi,

Not sure if anyone has tried or found a camp in the past but i was on my way to Garlaige Citadel (S)as my lvl 57 rdm and noticed a goblin beastmaster (Goblin Guerrilla) wondering around (I-9) had a VT beetle for its pet. I could see you could camp up top on the ledge where the mew is and pull it up to there or at the end of the path towards Meriphataud Mountains (S). The only problem i noticed was an Earth element spawns around (moves between H-9 and I-9) that area and there is a few EP beetles that might link with it if you pull from H-9 side of the goblin. Anyway just something i noticed and thought i'd post about it as would make an ok camp for 56-59 maybe.

Also notice another Goblin beastmaster in Rolanberry field (S) its pet checked as DC at lvl 57 rdm. Cant remember its name but it was wondering about K-9. there was another Goblin near by but the leeches near it did'nt aggro and there is plenty of room to move about. Its pet is a crawler type mob. As its DC to 57 i will go check it on another job till i can get a rough idea of its lvl. Maybe could be a spot from lvl 40+ im not sure

added goblin's name

I'm at 58 and finding myself stuck. I can't find a Flood scroll on AH or I'd be willing to pay for it, and camping it is really daunting to me since the drop rate is horrendous. I tried to solo in Newton and it was a disaster. The Bibiki camps are usually taken. I'm afraid to try fleas since chigoes are a pain. Does anyone else have a good suggestion for something that worked well at this level?

I know it'd been mentioned before that there is a camp in Western Sarutaburata(s) for lvl 54-57ish. But I found one in the same area thats actually nicely setup too to lvl from 57-59. If you head all the way to the gate blocking entrance into Giddeus, that's your new camp. There is a Yagudo Mendicant there that is at least 2 lvls higher then the others in the area, at lvl 57 his elementals are always T and worth 160-200 xp. You need Tornado and Burst to make this work right. Cast burst on Fire/Wind elementals, and Tornado on Earth and you should one shot them all. And since you can get Sigil refresh this is a much better camp at 57 the Pso'Xja.

Currently lv 57 and been soloing since lv 51 with only occasional duos/trios and 1 party.

This guide has been great so far!
I can still do 1 more lv in psojxa, but its going slow.

I was camping a beadaux key for a friend of mine and we were killing sapphires, but flood did not drop. Might have to go back there for flood to close the link between 58-60. Then off to bibiki bay!

The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah was a pain in the ass from level 34-36 I had to compete with everything on my server...for some reason every job went there to kill things and only a couple would acknowlegde what I was doing and would leave the traders alone...I'm just posting this to say I'm glad to be out of that area

Thanks Kurgan! I thought it was just me...maybe I can get the other camp :)

Has anyone tried this guide with a rdm?

This is some great info... Thanks alot!!! I am trying to solo my Blm and I am kind of new to the game so I come here a lot.. You have any tips or other sites to read up on. Especially one for spells - which one is good on what mob and if they are stackable. Some cancel out others.... Great work!!!

Some additional info I found while leveling SCH in the glacier:

LV 31-34
Gigas's Tiger (Rime Gigas) - Beaucedine Glacier (already mentioned by OP)

Tundra Tigers do not link with Gigas's Tiger. There's a great camp by the Mirror Pond at J-7 (near Fei'yin): only two Gigas spawn near the lake and they can both be converted into BSTs; both tunnels leading to the lake are perfectly safe to rest in between pulls. hope this helps :P

Sorry it took ..awhile? To answer, anyways it's like right at the begining of rolanberry fields kind of hard to miss, near the stone wall things when you walk out of jeuno. do a widescan if needed to find them, they're very good exp while lfp. Got to about lvl 26 I think. :) sorry again. gl

Goin gto use this guide to get both my BLM and RDM to 37. Thank you for the great guide!

I haven't read every page of this post, so I don't know if it's listed in a reply somewhere, but I didn't see it in the original guide.

I have used Oldton Movopolis (J-10) to solo both Rdm & Blm in the mid 30s. I was there last night on Blm from level 35-37 (stayed for a buffer for 37). When I arrived, the Goblin's pet Bat were all T. At 37, it's possible you would start getting some EM mixed in, and it would be time to move on. But you could most likely start here earlier than 35 as well.

At 35+ I could 3 hit the bats with Aero2, Stone2 or Thunder, and Water2 (probably overkill by then, but did it anyway).

There are 2 goblins here, a Tollman (with pet), and a Shovelman. They follow a radius path. The platform side is a good place to camp (best in my opinion), and you don't have to move much when pulling or killing the bat. However, the gobs sometimes wander close by, so you'll need invis ready (or always on between pulls to be absolutely sure). If you pass the gobs to the other side, there is a tunnel mouth there. If you stay right on the inside edge of the tunnel, you will be out of the gobs natural aggro range. However, you have to watch for bats behind you, and you will also have to run a little bit when pulling.

This camp requires patience! I can't stress that enough. There are times when you may feel like you are waiting forever for the next pull. However, in my time last night, I also hit chain 4 on several occasions. I averaged about 4k/hour xp here over 2 hours, with 1 charge used of an Emperor Band at the start.


Also, a warning to others. I first headed to the Zi'Tah camp, as the OP was under my control, and would give me some added pluses for being right there at camp, like free HP, or not even changing my HP, as I could cheaply just hit the OP warp again. I arrived, and there was a level 30 party there, camping the pets for XP.

As much as I have loved this guide, it has become so commonplace for everyone, and people realize how good the xp is for easy kills, they have started to use these camps for ALL xp now, even parties. Your solo camps are not safe.

Umm ok, all i have to say is, I started using this guide at about 50.
I'm an elvaan blm so i dont have the greatest int.
I go to gustav tunnel, gotten to 54 and now, I am getting resisted and sometimes not fully killing the leeches.
They check Even Match and some DC to me, but sometimes there's just that 1% left from tornado.

Here's what makes me wonder if i can solo after this:
51+20 INT
Wind Staff
+10 Magic Atk. Bonus
Elemental Magic Skill 184+15
No merits

....This is my first job to get past 50, and i'm just scared if i will even be able to solo anymore after this.

EDIT: The reason WHY i dont use Quake+Earth staff, is because i wont be able to chain the leeches (lolblmelvaan mp >.>;) so if i did do that, it'd be WAY less exp.

Up-and-coming BLM here, just posting a camp I recently found. The level range may be off by one or two, since I was actually duoing here with a RDM starting at 47.

Location: East Ronfaure [S] @ the South-East corner of (I-6)
Level Range: 49-52
Enemy: Goblin's Ladybug (52-54) (Master: Goblin Patrolman)

Pros
- Camp is perfectly safe if you rest on the West side of the rock formation. Kite area to the South-West is also agro-free (only low-level Sheep and Bats around)

- Goblin Patrolman is usually the only Goblin in the area (he hangs out just to the East of camp)

- Ladybugs are weak to Ice, so when you get Freeze at 50, they drop like a bag of bricks

- Close to San'Doria [S] for Sanction refresh / XP Band recharge / HP set

Cons
- Only one Goblin Patrolman in this camp.

- There are two Goblin Skirmishers that will occasionally wander near the Patrolman. They are very easy to avoid if you hang tight to the rock formation you're using as camp. Generally they stay out of the picture.

- The Goblin Patrolman has a pretty wide wandering radius, which can lead to some interesting pathing / pulling.

I was wondering if anyone has tried a Burn Pt in Bhaflau Thickets @ (F/G-6) to kill Mamool Ja's Wyvern (lvl 76-78). There are 4 pets in this area and it spawns usually very quick. I was thinking a lvl 65+ burn pt could work here. Any comments? Also Vunkerl Inlet [S] has a great burn pt lvl 61+ location @ E-12 killing Giga's Tiger (lvl 73-75). Good place to solo @ 68+

I can confirm Miffee's camp, it is quite and and a good alternative to Gustav tunnel, real easy to get to, a pixie flys through fairly often, biggest con so far is the goblin moves nonstop for quite a time, but still stops long enough to cast Freeze.

I have 64+18 int (taru) and at lvl 50 and have to do Freeze + Thunder I. Easy camp very little chance of aggro and just got chain 4, tryin to see if i can manage a 5

Edit**

Just turned fires day, got two resists in a row, which lead to a Thunder + Drain to kill the first one and a + Bio as well for the second one. So id bump it up to a Tier II if you get a resist. Bio kill left me at 69 hp.
Also this is without any food or a Moldavite Earring. So you could easily one shot these with appropriate Black mage soloing techniques

Just went again with +25 int and one shotted the T lady bug for 762 damage. Still w/o moldy.

Also directly to the north of this camp is another Goblin and Lady bug pet, wide open pulling area for it as well.

Got to 39 and tried the Tonberry SMN camp and it absolutely sucked. Elementals resisted every spell I tossed at them. My skill is capped and I have the INT stacked to the max at every slot I can put it on (except for +2 more INT I could add from having Morions+1's) and my magic still does squat against them, lol.

Ended up going back to the Xarcabard gigas camp to try and get to 40. A lot of DC pets tossed in the mix is really slowing down me getting my 40. I noticed that the next camp is also an Elemental camp (Castle Zvhal). Is there any other alternate camp for around 40-43 at all?

Really, really, REALLY not looking forward to having to do elementals again if they are going to keep resisting all my spells causing me to completely drain my mana pool.

Any help with an alternate camp would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! ^_^

Apparently, noone reads this thread anymore but me, lol. >.<;

Well, FINALLY hit 41 last night so I guess I have no option but to try the Castle Keep camp vs. elementals. 2 more levels to go! ^^
