When Treasures of Aht Urhgan came out last year, it opened up the way for people that weren’t Monks, Bards, or Black Mages to kill shit fast and get alot of Imperial Standing and merits. To this day, even with the introduction of Nyzul Isle, camps still get packed making it hard to get merits in a decent amount of time. If you have or haven’t read my rant post, you will read that I have suggested several camps outside ToAU (dubbed old school camps since were pre-Aht Urhgan).
King Ranperre’s Tomb
King Ranperre’s Tomb (KRT) was a much sought after camp for several reasons. It was a place for manaburns (BLM and SMN) kill skeletons with relative ease for fast exp and money (the BLM skeletons and ghosts drop BLM scrolls). Black Mages and Summoners weren’t the only ones making residence here.
Monk parties (BRD, RDM, WHM 3xMNK) would also come here and pound shit into oblivion. Since monks have an advantage over the undead (undead weak to blunt weapons) this lead to fast exp and high chains while everyone else was going to Sky or Ulegerand Range for slower exp.
There are two possible paths to take in KRT, the “Vrtra Path” and “The Loop”. Pics are coming soon.
Uleguerand Range
This was a pain to get to since you have to go up three-quaters of the mountain avoiding true sight mobs such as the Brontotaur (Taurus) and everyone needed silent oils, prism powders and reraise.
The first camp is at J-5. It’s the mouth of the tunnel you come out of. In this area you will see Kindred Demons (the highest level of demons aside NM’s and Dynamis), Molechs (Taurus), and Smolenkos (floating eye thingys). Other camps are at H-6 (up the hill from first in a tunel) and at G-6 (just out side the tunnel from H-6). I’ve only seen WAR parties up there but I guess any TP burn party would work.
Sky
Two camps worth mentioning here. First one being the ‘Front Deco-Weapon Camp’ and the other one at The Celestial Nexus.
To be continued…
