The mobs we've been AOE'ing just turned blue and we're looking for a new good AOE spot for a pole duo. Catacombs/Necropoli are not an option for us this week. We've tried the Wastelants, the Ant Nest, and the area around the Moster Race Track but the xp wasn't good at all. The mobs just to the east of EG hit too hard for our little group. Any suggestions?
We both have highly OE'd Glaives, +5 Brig sets and full out-of-party Prophet/SE buffs.
Abandoned Camp is porbably getting bluish by now You can pull trains in Partisan's Hideaway(dont remember what it is called now, the Ol Mahum place by dion). It is decent, just have to find a good spot to pull to, and watch out for the archers.
What about orc barracks? People make fine trains out there.
And in ants nest there is one room near a small bridge where the entrance and exit is covered with crystals, and the respawn is so insane that a single person with full buffs and SS can barely get through before more spawn. I went there and before I was done with 1-2 more had respawned.
We had been doing Partisan's Hideaway, pulling 20+ mobs at a time. I'll go check out the Orc Barracks tonight. It's been a VERY long time since I've hunted there. I'm sure it's been changed.
Is there any place in Schuttgart area for 30+ poleing?
Plunderous Plains should work. The low end of Bandit Sweepers and Bandit hounds are all aggro. The archers there are social but not aggro I believe. (At least the lowest level ones...I think there are only two total archer mobs in the whole region.) There are some 40ish group type mobs a bit higher up near the Sky wagon as well. Eveything else is pretty much 1x hp though.
I would avoid the Ragna Orc mobs near the Den of Evil at all costs. Too many archers and mobs that split/summon some mage/archer reinforcements. Some mobs in this area use SS as well. There are some 1/2 HP mobs but I can't think of any decent spot where you could gather a decent number of them. Which is probably good as the Zombie mobs just LOVE to spam their Drain. Most of the mobs in this area are 40+ anyway.
Pavel Ruins and Frozen Labyrinth are good for pole once you get up into the higher 40's and on through the 50's.
After that your going to need to move out of the Schuttgart area.
