Quick question: wasn't TOAU terribly bad for BLM leveling? I vaguely remember having to solo worms in Aydeewa because nobody would invite me as a BLM.


pudding burn parties


Was for merits and not leveling. BLM was phased out of the optimal PT setup around 2005.

ToAU was fantastic for BLMs. You could solo on a load of mobs like Qiqirn, puddings, etc. You could do manaburns on wamouras and puddings as well.

Initially the colibiri had 0 evasion, so a decent pt at leypoint could chain forever, and get insane exp/hr for the level range. Once I even saw a pt with Versace that was all in 5/5 af with no rings, earrings etc, hitting chain 6 lol. Thats all been fixed, but I know nas feels that aht urghan put an end to the SC > MB pt set up. Aht urghan camps or not, once you get past 50+ and all DDs get access to their good weaponskills and abilities, as well as better gear options and haste gear become available, melee burn style PTs become more and more efficient.

Aht urghan isnt just colibiri camps though, and with how popular the server has become, they wont always be available, so people will have to go to eruca in Mount Zhayolm or puktraps in Aydeewa Subterrane, Imps in mire etc.



Every party I've been in past 50 has been TP burn setup.

Hence why TOAU had puddings for the mages.

Puddings were one of my favorite things to do in retail and I remember the wamoura being pretty easy to deal with on blm also

Solo, yes, but I've noticed Nasomi does a LOT of things to keep everything group oriented. I could see him adjusting colibris so BLM didn't suck on them... maybe.

It makes no sense not to open some Aht Urgan camps. I've been in parties that can pull 38k an hour in KRT and was in multiple 20-28k/hr c.nest basement parties. Blm is already a massive drain on exp parties with tp burn parties around. I can't tell you how many times I've been invited to a party with 5 only to hear the leader say, "Need another melee DD, only a blm seeking, heck that." Last few times I've exp'ed with a BLM it was due to "pity inviting" because the leader didn't wanna wait around for a rng,drk,sam,drg,war to show up. That is currently reality on the server, ask any blm that didn't build their own parties how fast they get parties these days post 60 once melee DD's start unlocking big boom ws's.

You can and have always been able to level at retail Aht Urgan speed the entire time I've been on this server. There is just too many people playing now to not open some of these camps in some form or fashion. People need more options at higher levels, turtles and birds aren't going to cut it. Nobody is running up to ule range, lets be realistic about that.

Preach. I haven't done a lot of mid-level exp here since coming back, but I remember before the sync changes people were blasting through like 35k+/hour in KRT. I don't remember retail very well, but I'd be shocked if Colibri were much better than that. It's probably a wash.

Treasures of Aht Urghan wasn't very well balanced for xp, and I think Square probably knew that, but since each "type" of job had its own niche, they never bothered to do anything about it because everybody was happy. As long as nobody is left on the sidelines, that's an ideal world. And it wasn't like people weren't partying for that content, with the exception of Quiqirn people were playing in groups during that era even for mana burns.

Going off memory, but I'm pretty sure 20-30k was the top end of anything but a fully tweaked out party on Colibris. Common parties with strangers seemed much more like 10-20k/hr.

Colibri capped around 30k/hr with the optimal setup from what I remember. Mamools/Wyvern/Puks at MJSP would give higher return on exp/hr but it came at the cost of kill difficulty.

Along with some Treasures of Aht Urgan camps the side effect would be more crafting recipes like Puk fledglings, easier to get Blu spells and less expensive Haste Turban.
