MOBS TO FIGHT: Wild Dhamel (14-16), Canyon Rarabs (7-10), Pygmaioi (7-11), Strolling Saplings (7-10), Canyon Crawlers (11-13)
NOTES: Tarantulas stated: Very little aggro here and plenty of Crawlers and Dhalmel spawn here, plus the added bonus of a zone line for emergencies. 13 and 14 were excrutiatingly slow, as Dhalmel are only worthwile at 15-16. Before these levels, they all check as tough and you can never tell if they are weak toughs or almost VT tough. There are also alot of farmers around for Dhalmel hides which means alot of competition in peak hours.

MOBS TO FIGHT: Beady Beetles (11-16), Bat Battalions (12-15), Goblins (Ambushers, Butchers, Tinkerers) (14-18)
NOTES: Once you enter, go through the "cracked wall" in G-8. At this point the map changes... go to I-9 and work with Beady Beetles and Bat Battalions. There's a good supply of these as you move downhill, and some nice low gobs handy to farm if you end up with a little left over on a pet. Note this is a bit of a difficult spot (close quarters, all mobs agro/link and a longish run to the zone). Rarely camped, since the Bats are the "Jet Stream" type.

MOBS TO FIGHT: Poison Funguar (14-16), Poison Bats (11-14)
NOTES: Funguar Alley entrance is ravine north of Lake Ephmere. Go into ravine and run cave/ravine complex. At end of “Funguar Alley” is where La Theine Monument for Selbina Clay quest is located. You can also examine the front room of the Ordelles and grab Even Match Stink Bats (15-18) for some early leveling. If it does not fare well, then work the funguars in the main entrance ravine. This level is slow for experience points.

PETS TO CHARM: Stink Bats (15-18)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Maze Makers (18-21), Goblins (Ambushers, Tinkerers, Butchers) (16-18)
NOTES: 1400+ EXP per hour even with much competition. Keep Barstonra up at all times because Maze Makers use Stonega. If you are in trouble, just run as they can't follow you and will only fire off a few spells. They can cast Bind but it usually doesn't last long enough to be a bother. A decent Bat will usually tear apart an even Goblin. Don't attack other bats!!! There are tons of them everywhere and they link like crazy.
Dehrian observed: I found Bats against Goblins to be very effective and fast, but not against Worms. The Worms are all Ts, and they tear apart EM Bats. The Bat is frequently intimidated by the Maze Maker. I have to join the fight, lose my EM Bat, and suffer signifcant downtime after each battle. The Bats against Goblins usually mean less XP per fight, but the fights go much faster with less downtime. I also zone any EM Bat to ghetto Leave it when it's near death, then rezone to claim it back after it gets full health. I lose TP, but it's easier to get TP back than wait for another EM bat to respawn.

NOTES: So here is how you get there: Enter Shakrami and go to main entrance chamber, then take the tunnel to your left. Follow this to an even bigger chamber, and hug the left hand wall. Grab an EM pet at this point. As you follow the wall you will come to a raised area, go up the ramp. Be careful as there may be a Scorpion here. If you hug the left wall and drop down you should be able to avoid the agro. There should be three Goblins ahead (EP - DC). Kill them. Enter the right hand tunnel, and you are at your camp.

Be warned, 1-2 Bogys spawn in the area at night, although if you stay close to the beach you should be fine. Goblin Leechers are Goblin WHMs and can cast Cure III making these fights very dangerous.

NOTES: A EM crawler will take out a 1 1/2 Tough Gobs without biscuits. Very nice because Buru is littered with Goblins. Also, when the charm fails you are more likely to get hit with a weaker special attack than with Leeches (Brain Drain for 80-100 dmg).
Tibodibo refutes: I'm going to have to disagree with this suggestion. Any Crawler I send at the Goblins get OWNED! I recommend getting EM Dhalmels and slaughtering T Crawlers.

NOTES: Two ways to access this area. One is through North Sandy, opposite the Carpenter's Guild. The other way is located in NW Jugner Forest. You will need to take a barge (80 gil) to arrive at Central Landing (through the Sandy route), and the dock is for arrivals only. Use the dock as your camp, and fight the receommended mobs above. Avoid fighting T battraps, as they are very strong and hit hard. Keep in mind that both Water and Thunder Elementals spawn in this area, although usually away from the pier. When leaving the area, through the caverns linked to Jugner, keep in mind that the Funguars do aggro, and they are usually in groups. The same goes for entering through the Jugner passage.

Frequently the Pugils were on the higher end, so it would take several Leeches and Crawlers/Dhalmels/Snippers to take one down. The fights were lengthier then normal, but the Pugs almost always con T and Bubu is full of critters to throw at them, so I had a good time. Almost always got 140 exp including penalty per Pug. Labryinth of Onzozo entrance is on the Mighoya Dunes, so you have a quick zone if things go rotten.

MOBS TO FIGHT: Giant Spiders (30-34), Sand Beetles (36-40), Anticans (Auxiliarius, Faber, Funditor) (35-39), Goblin Trader Pet Spider (38-40)
NOTES: Charm DC and EM Spiders and fight other EM and T Spiders. T Beetles are great if you can find them, but the spread at 33-34 will be T to IT. you will find the occasional T Antican to beat on... those are nice too. Dhamels: DONT TOUCH EM AT THIS LEVEL. Leave them alone and they'll leave you alone. Nothing here aggros except Sabotendaurs (cactus-like folk), Anticans, the nasty Doom Scorpion guarding the pit, and the occasional Flesh Eater (don't even think about solo-ing it at 32-33...possible, but not likely). The most common complaint about E Altepa: "It's so spread out?! How do you find stuff to kill?" - This level, like when you your a lower level BST on the Buburimu Peninsula, is a good time to know and love "Wide Scan." If well utilized, these two levels will be a relaxing stroll through the desert as Spiders really aren't that tough (definitely not like Acrophies).
WisePiggy stated:Goblin pets are very weak for their con, you just have to make sure you sic your pet onto them without the Goblin seeing your pet. After the mob pet attacks your pet, use the heel command to draw the fight away from the Goblin Trader, or just let them fight and hope the Goblin walks away in the right direction. If you get a good run you can easily get chain #4 and #5 using this technique, but there are alot of wandering mobs in Altepa so you need to be careful. At night watch out for the Lost Souls. Make sure to set your homepoint at the entrance to Western Altepa - you will die a few times doing this - it's high risk/high reward.

(1) LOCATION(S): Qufim
PETS TO CHARM: Acrophies (32-34), Greater Pugils (28-30)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Acrophies (32-34)
NOTES: Again, slow levels. Acrophies range from level 32-34, so you can get a good mix. Great fights to improve combat skills. May even get a carbuncle ruby drop while leveling. Use Acrophie vs. Acrophie, with a Greater Pugil as a finishing pet. Acrophies are real tough, so ensure that their health is real low before engaging. Also, Acrophies can regenerate, so Dia is very nice to keep on the acros.

(3) LOCATION(S): Gusgen Mines (Basement)
PETS TO CHARM: Gallinippers (32-35)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Feu Follet (35-38)
NOTES: Ensure you have a map for Gusgen - you want to head right down to the basement (on first map when you get to the room with 3 doors take the left and you'll eventually get there). Once in the basement charm Gallinippers and fight Feu Follets. Feu Follets have low hp and low defence and also use beserk making them take (and give) twice normal damage - so they die fairly quickly. Let your pet do all the damage - if you try and fight with your pet you will get caught when a bomb explodes and may die. Gallinippers also link and aggro - but there is enough room around the outside edges of the room if you are careful.
Good XP - chain 3-5 is possible if you get lucky with bomb explosions. Bombs also drop a fair amount of bomb ash which sells well at the AH.

PETS TO CHARM: Ivory Lizards (32-35), Yuhuntga Mandragoras (to pull) (30-33)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Goblins (Smithy, Furrier, Digger) (32-38)
NOTES: Suggested to bring Instant Warp Scroll. To get there, hop on a chocobo and drop down the hole as if you're going to Yhoator. From there just make your way south-west as well as you can until you can ride up into the (H-7) plateau. You're in the right place if you see a hole in the middle of the plain, and the only mobs around are Mandragoras, Furriers and Smithies. Go into the north-east most tunnel off the plateau, and it should be a dead-end with two lizards in it. If the two lizards aren't Even, you can do a little trick I've figured out for perfecting camp spots - just keep killing them off until you get the perfect conning mobs. You don't want to drag in a lizard from another spawn zone, because then you have to keep watching it to make sure it doesn't wander back. If you force the two spawns inside the cave to be even, they'll just wander back there when you're finished with them, and thus you always know where to find them. Use Yuhtunga Mandragoras to pull. XP chains very possible.
Durginn stated: H-7 confirmed great area for XP. Chains difficult due to a lot of the decent challenge gob spawns were decent, with a few toughs, but still able to get multiple chain #1s, and a few Chain #2s. If you are miserly, like me, you can move to and from H-7 without having to purchase an instant warp scroll. Recommend you choco out to spot. Head South out of main gate, across field where Goblin Smithys and Mandras spawn (G-6). Go into tunnel and follow until wooded area (G-7), and continue heading south, entering another tunnel (Ivory lizards also spawn here, as well as Gob Smithys). You will enter another wooded area (G-8), at this time turn sharply to the east, weaving around the tree roots, and turn north into another tunnel (G-8). Once you exit the tunnel, you will be at the H-7 field (has two holes in the middle, with a dead end exit to the north, and an exit to the east - that will eventually lead to Yhoater). Go to the Northern dead end (be careful of the Gob Furriers and Smithys in the area) and you will find two Ivory Lizards. "Convert" them to EMs if needed, and have a blast leveling by using the mandra pull to grab gobs (they wander quite a bit, and link, so the mandras are a safe method). To get back, simply use the Ivory Lizards, and Death Wasps to assist in fighting gobs along your path, until you get to near the zone. Then simply grab a mandra, occupy any aggro gob, and dash to Kazham. The only other players that are here are usually lost, so the area is very secluded!

Exercitus mentioned: During Japanese hours Altepa is incredibly crowded, so you might have to do more scrounging if you want to stay in this area. Right after entering East Altepa, head north along the wall until you come to a little inlet. There should be beetles in the mouth of the inlet, and sunken ruins with Anticans around. Create your little zoo by finding a couple even beetles and start into work on the Anticans. **Can be a tough spot to level at level 36, as a few have experienced difficulties with this spot!**
