Went as a 60 party and fought Skimmers (level 72-74 flies). It was extremely obvious we were too low level to be there, but it still wasn't horrible. 250-325 exp per kill. It was slow but doable. I'm betting that camp is great for a 62-64 party

PLD WHM BLM BLM MNK WAR synced at 54-55. Killed crabs/mandys/rabbits.

Crabs were the mob of choice. mandy's were hitting pretty hard, rabbits had a bit high eva.

Exp was a solid 250-350 and mob difficulty felt perfect for crabs. Had the party been better set up, we would have been plowing through them easily until 56-57. Get some skillchains, one less blm, maybe a brd or cor or thf. I think it would have been perfect with a slightly better setup.

54 sync
Map 1 (H-10) (Aquarius room)
Party setup: MNK/WAR, WHM/BLM, BLM/NIN, WAR/NIN(polearm), PLD/WAR, BLM.
No PL

We fought mostly Robber Crabs. These seemed to work best, although lack of dispel hurt us. The most damage I took from its AoE was 200, but most were less.

We tried one Mourioche, but it hit hard and double attacked often. PLD lost health rapidly until the WAR took hate. The WAR died pretty quickly after that. It wasn't hard to kill otherwise.

We tried one Moss Eater, but it took a long time to kill because we couldn't hit it. (Checked as High evasion with capped hand-to-hand, +27 acc from gear, +10% acc from Marinara Pizza, and +20 acc from Focus)

We were receiving 250EXP from the crabs before chains, so another level or two would have helped us a lot.


Edit: this is the same party as Pepsi just posted above.

Super easy XP last night in/around the Aquarius room. I think we synced to 55 in the beginning? Went to 57. Had RDM, BRD, NIN, MNK, lolDRG, and THF. Killed crabs, crawlers, rabbits at the end... Did a lap through the tunnels killing all the spiders (Which was actually the best XP, if you have the party for it).

Thanks for the info. What was the xp you were getting per kill/chain? Thanks

Ranging from 180-300+ depending on kill and chain. I forgot about this thread until after the party, so I didn't really take much note of it. As the NIN, I can say: It was my favorite camp that I've had in a bit. Super easy to tank, and was quick kills.

Roaming the spider tunnels was the most fun, if you have a party that makes it feasible.

The Aquarius camp has always been good for 54 sync. As with any camp, you're going to get better results with a proper setup.

Second camp is good for ~56-58 on the first map after the drop. Targets are crabs, crawlers, gobbue, rabbits, mandy's. Mandy's hit a little hard as with the first camp, rabbits have high eva. Gobbue's sleep so keep them away from the mages. Exp is a bit light at 58, but by that time you're plowing through them so exp/hr is still very acceptable.
