Did they add any new higher level solo or lowman camps for BLU besides mire imps or xarc (s) cointeaches? When you reach lvl 77 I noticed cointeaches' exp dropped by a lot because they become tough instead of VT.

Just level sync at Hediva and continue bringing on the imp pain. I soloed almost all of 75-80 on BLU, aside from like one short lived party for 15k exp at Promyvion-Mea. I killed more imps than grains of salt in a desert. Yeah, you get the idea. Just kill imps until your ears bleed of Caemire music, and then keep killing.

I'm really interested in seeing what happens to jobs like BST, BLU, etc come new level increases. Jobs that mostly solo going to be forced to campaign etc for exp? Hopefully they add some nice solo/duo camps in the future.

Just get a party. Make your own, thats what I did. I level sync to 54 and did 77 to 80 on colibri. Get around 20k an hour (BLU/THF btw) and still get IS, etc. Better than imps unless you really wanna cap skills while lvling, which you can just do after you hit lvl 80.

Hopefully 80+ people will lose some of the blu mentality and actually invite us. With the update and new spells, blu's became much more versatile, especially in the MP management-healing department. I kinda hate myself for saying this.. But if I got 80blu/rdm pt invites as healer i'd %&^*ing take it. However i'd still prefer to go out guns blazing.

Been killing imps this afternoon, they are still giving lots of exp at 78, I didn't realize they would give so much still lol

Hopefully in level cap increase they'll put higher level imps or something like them xD

Weird that I see a full lvl sync party of mostly BLUs killing imps at 76, and I'm soloing them for more exp than them o_O;

I found trio'ing best imp exp, at least at 75. BLU, BLU, RDM Monopolised 2-3 imp camps at a time, sometimes throwing in a fly to keep chain. Xp can drop a little lower than desired sometimes on low chains, but the fast kills and higher chains make up for it in my opinion. Plus, it's always more fun to play with friends^^

Sounds really nice. The group that's at the same camp I'm at doesn't seem to be doing as well as they SHOULD. I'm still finding mobs to kill because their RDM is not grabbing every mob he can, but at least they're keeping the area soulflayer free (only imp camp I can get is the one with the flayers) xD

The vast majority of Caederva Mire Heraldic Imps are 80, with a few 79, so in-between-parties it's a good spot to solo to fill in any missing skillups.

Of course they die really quickly at 79 to 80, so mostly you'll be just getting Blue Magic skill with some EM/DC-T exps (with Astral Candescence bonus.) So exp-per-kill goes way down compared to fighting them as a 75 or with a 75 sync.

However, the upside is with Battery Charge you will likely be getting Chain 5 without resting at all--at 78 to get Chain 5 you will likely have to rest at least a little tiny bit, but with Battery Charge at 79 it really makes a huge difference performance-wise. So if no one is around (a big "if" sometimes depending on time of day and your server population) you can safely and easily skill up and get some decent exps just sitting in one area.

You can do Imps in Xarcabard S till 78ish, then head into Castle Zvahl Keep S and climb to the porter room there's 4 of them below you you can pull. Will take you to 80.

I kinda got lucky though and got an amazing Chigoe burn pty and that took me from 75-79 in like 2 1/2 hours. After the pty I was like 5k tnl so I payed an Astral Burn and got to 2k till capped exp for 80 lol.

I did one Allied Ring charge a day on imps in Xarcabard. I also got killed by an amphiptere AT LEAST twice a day, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it as a good camp. It has a huge area it flies around in (it'll even aggro people by the arbiter), and the safest corner only has two spawns in it, so you're forced to go somewhere else if you want to keep your chain up.

79+ you can pretty much infinite chain with strong gear and a good bit of luck. Just need to not be resisted on Magic Hammer, keep Battery Charge up, and not spend too much time between pulls.

Hell, with a BRD as my puller and giving me dual marches, we got up to chain 32 until I *** up and aggroed a flayer, which killed the chain.

I tried that once, and got killed by demons, let alone the dragon that patrols the area.

Other than a crappy 30 min Promy-dem party, and a decent KRT party I did it all at the cointeach/imp camp at Nue tower.

I did a few different parties here at Nue tower.
1: Blu, Blu, Blu
2: Blu, Blu, Rdm
3: Blu, Blu, Brd, Rdm
4: Blu, Blu, Cor, Rdm

Level sync to 75-76. 75 being the best.

My favorite was Blu, Blu, Cor, Rdm. Had the Cor sub whm, roll refresh/xp and pull for us. We started inside the tower til we cleared some out and then moved outside. From the tower we would roam around from (F-7) - (F-8) - (G-8) going back and forth from the tower area and the imp area.

I really like this camp, its not over populated like other areas and it's easy enough to make a 4 person party. The only times I saw that it was popular was during JP time. During NA time only other ppl I would see there were the random solo/duo JPs.

Such a great place for Blus.
The cointeaches are a nice change from Imps, save a lot of money on echos.

I agree with the above statement.

I went to Azouph Isle Staging point last night just to see what killing imps would be like for exp at 79. I got up to the tunnel with the leeches and ran out of imps at chain 8, still had ~130MP left after a resisted magic hammer though. Exp was only 172 per kill after chain 5 (I think I got one that must have been a higher level and got me ~200ish) and it took ~10 minutes. So assuming you can chain endlessly (which I'm sure I couldn't, probably chain 10-11 would be max) that works out to about 9k an hour. So yeah, kinda meh.
