So I managed to reach level 95, though my skill remained at 278.
Now I need to find some good camps to skill up, any ideas?
I know that before Abyssea I could just go and whack some colibris in Bhaflau, but it gets stale after a while.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Crabs in Misareaux worked pretty well for me, just spam short recast spells. You can work on your sword at the same time.

Power attack > Foot kick > Power attack > Foot kick. Till it's capped though I preferred the crabs in Graub.

Doing that kind of stuff in EXP parties in Aby would make people mad as hell

you could go into the emperium paradox where you would fight shinryu...get MM atma and a turbo controller and spam pollen while you're sleeping or at work.

I haven't defeated any of the MB's yet, started playing just a month ago.
Also, some weird stuff happened when I tried to spam pollen using windower scripts, not sure if I should get into detail with that.

there are lvl 93 crabs in Vunkel, normal vunkel (at the same place you see opo opos in abyssea vunkel)

they will cap all skills at 99 but hit very weak and don't link or aggro

That's very nice to know, I think that's what I'm gonna go with.
Any specific coordinates? Even though I've been to (A) Vunkerl, I've never had the chance to party there to find out about enemy placement.

It's the past version and you basically just campaign warp > about face > follow right wall until you see a big wooden gate, then go left and continue til you see the crabs.

Yes it would. Though I was implying you do it solo this is why I said crabs in Graub.

Thanks for all the tips, dudes.
Gonna start trying with the crabs in vunkerl, since I'm not too confident

For some reason I found that the Breath spells always seem to give good skill ups. Due to the fact it really cant miss just get resisted. Next XP group you get just spam it when its up. helped me tons at under capped skillgas!
