I am level 28 currently and want to share my experiences so far. Much of my levelling is done grinding Easy Prey so far; it is boring safe and fast. If it isn't for you, you can always seek out stronger prey. i plan to switch to that style eventually. Use Pet Food Alpha and your 2 hour when you can to reduce recharms. You can get Pet Food Alpha at a Chocobo Stables vendor for 11 gil each.
13 - 17 Tahrongi Canyon
13, 14, 15: Even Match or DC Carniverous Crawler vs all the Easy Prey types like rabbits, Mandies, Bees, Saplings and the low level Beastmen.
16,17: Same thing, but with Wild Dhalmels now.
18 - 19 Valkurm Dunes
18: I spent a level killing Toughs for a change. I used Lizards vs Goblins in Valkurm Dunes near the Konschtat Highlands zone. Stay away from the Tinkerer though, he is harder because of Drain.
19: The Lizard camp at D- 7 has a quirk where all of the lizards are the same level. I believe they are all level 19. Use them as both Pet and Prey. You can also use the Rabbits that spawn here and kill the Ghoul at night for a challenge.
20, 21, 22 La Theine Plateau
I fought Easy Prey Funguar in the southern part of the zone. If you run a loop around the spawn area, they will repop as you go. You can kill tier 2 Orcs as well. Use a Thickshell Crab as your pet for a little extra damage. You get a lot of Sleepshrooms and Dark Crystals as a nice bonus.
23 - 28 Valkurm Dunes
23: I did a duo with another BST, Crabs vs Pugils at the beach near Valkurm Emperor. There are four Pugil spawns and you can get Chain 3, then rest for respawns. You can also pull a Goblin from further inland if you'd like. This camp could work for 24 and possibly 25 as well as the Pugils still could be chained.
24, 25, 26, 27: Grind Easy Prey Lizards. I did the Even Match vs Easy Prey grind again, this time at D-7, the same camp from level 19. You can use a Fly from nearby or bring a Leech over with you. I hit over 6k per hour and it is safe, but gets boring.
24 - 25 Jugner Forest (Alternative, solo only camp will not support a duo)
At Spore Hollow, the Funguar seem to be level 24 - 26. This will be a more traditional camp with Chains. You can use them as both Pet and Prey, you may need to supplement your Pets with Sheep from nearby at level 24. They link, so plan around this by trying to Charm them when they are alone, and watching out for the path they will walk during pet swaps. It gets easier once you've cleared them out some.
Hey man, I love your guide! Do you have any other camps?
