Don't forget the optional 29(ish..I think) - low/mid 30's for Garlaige Citadel enterance bats & beetles, then moving a little deeper into the First Banishing Gate. Generally move from there to Crawlers Nest first elvel room if I remember right from Retail (if different here on Nas shout at me and I'll amend this )

Great idea & list. Props to the OP ^.^

2 nights ago I tried partying @lvl 46 in Garliage Citadel Basement targeting Bats and Beetles (as suggested in Naswiki) for the 1st time.

It did not go very well.

Bats are always a link-fest waiting to happen, and tri-bats spamming Jet Stream eat mp like mad (and will probably kill your tank eventually).

Beetles are a step higher level, have high evasion, and Power Attack hits like a truck.

It was better than nothing I reckon, and perhaps a more ideal party setup than we had would do ok there 45-51(ish).

Recommendations for a better spot at that level range would be appreciated.

If possible, I would sync a little lower and hit up Crawler's Nest. The Fly/Crawler camp in the basement is damn good EXP/hr with a decent party. I always suggest this to ls members forming a party in that range.

If your group has access to Riverne A01, you could go hit that up for some 40 capped EXP without a sync. I've seen reports of up to 15k/hr, but haven't tried it myself.

55-58(?): Cape Terrigan G-8 N of the outpost between the wall and a rock; Sand Lizard
61-65: Bibiki Bay F-6 just outside the 'tunnel'; Tragopan

Unfortunately the really only viable camp seems to be Crawler's Nest. Maybe beetles are not stupid hard if you have a dispell, but I dont think theyre worth killing for xp right now unless you have no where else to go. Garlaige is not the xp hot spot it used to be.

I feel bad for anyone that joins a party that wants to camp in the basement of Citadel.

I led a party to GC basement as a level 46 PLD two nights ago. It wasn't the best, but we did ok. It may have been due to our unique party composition: PLD SMN SMN RDM BLM BRD. We fought the bats. Bard pulled and kept a bat slept near our camp. I let the summoner's avatars tank half the time. We all gained a level and a half or so while we were there. No wipes but I died once at first because I was standing too far out and got beetle aggro.

52-? KRT Thousand Eyes. You need a real mage that can land Silence (will be some resists at 52 even with staves), Dispel. This is an "okay" alternative for a party of characters that show up and bats is suddenly taken.

Any good 70 camps?

The ones listed on the first page of this thread work. There's usually not too much competition at the moment.

Gustav tunnel is pretty flexible. Bring /NIN for your DPS. No, your random SAM or /SAM probably isn't good enough at swapping to Seigan to avoid coming /NIN.
