MOBS TO FIGHT: Rock Eaters (7-11), Akbabas (9-13), Strolling Saplings (7-10), Orcs (Grapplers, Mesmerizers, Fodder) (8-10)
NOTES: Worms can be soloed at these levels
CONTRIBUTOR(S): Ikaz, Durginn, Oceaniax

CONTRIBUTOR(S): Tarantulas

Levels 12-14 (Level 12, Beastmaster gains Job Ability: Reward)
(1) LOCATION(S): Konschtat Highland (Far Eastern/ Middle Eastern and Far Western/Middle Western edges of the zone)
PETS TO CHARM: Mad Sheep (11-13)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Goblins (Digger, Ambusher, Butcher, Tinkerer) (11-16), Mad Sheep (11-13)
NOTES: Use even matched or decent Sheep for fighting. Make sure to use Dia and Paralyze if you have it, against the goblins.
CONTRIBUTOR(S): KudomaBooyah

(2) LOCATION(S): La Theine (pond in recess vicinity Valkurm Dunes entrance)
PETS TO CHARM: Thickshells (12-14), Mad Sheep (11-13), Grass Funguar (11-13), Rock Eaters (7-11)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Thickshells (12-14), Mad Sheep (11-13), Grass Funguar (11-13), Rock Eaters (7-11)
NOTES: Try to fight Barely Toughs with High Decent Challenges or Even Match pets. XP will be slow at level 14.
CONTRIBUTOR(S): Ikaz, Durginn, Oceaniax

(3) LOCATION(S): Tahrongi Canyon (near Meriphataud Mountains entrance)
PETS TO CHARM: Wild Dhamel (14-16), Canyon Rarabs (7-10), Pygmaioi (7-11), Strolling Saplings (7-10), Canyon Crawlers (11-13)
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 excruciatingly slow, as Dhalmel are only worthwhile 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 a lot of farmers around for Dhalmel hides which means a lot of competition in peak hours.

(4) LOCATION(S): Inner Horutoto Ruins (Lily's Tower Entrance, East Sarutabaruta at J-7)
PETS TO CHARM: Beady Beetles (11-16), Bat Battalions (12-15)
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.
CONTRIBUTOR(S): Swarren

(5) LOCATION(S): Dangruf Wadi (on the right side of the map up the geyser)
PETS TO CHARM: Wadi Leech (11-14)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Goblins (Ambusher, Butcher, Tinkerer) (12-16)
NOTES: Even at 13 the leeches there were all decent and even cons to me. This area is mostly just full of leeches and goblins, be careful of links.
CONTRIBUTOR(S): KudomaBooyah

Level 15 (Beastmaster gains Pet Command: Stay; Job Trait: Resist Slow)
(1) LOCATION(S): La Theine Plateau ('Funguar Alley' or Ordelle's Cave Main Entrance ravine)

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 Ordelle's 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.

NOTES: Bats link and have Jet Stream Special Attack which is hard hitting!, Goblins are located to the right of main room. Use bats, crabs, and rabbits to kill them easily.\
Ironmanx stated: An EM Leech can easily take on a T Hognosed Bat. Let the chains begin!
OgreSamanosuke added: 1) Hognosed Bats aggro. It will link nearby stink bats. 2) If the Hognoses are EM, toss them at a Stalking Sapling, they intimidate them. (yay!) 3) You will have to kill the Gobs in the way, or follow someone to reach the hunting spot. (Mostly d/c, few even or tough for exp) There are about 10 in the short path you want to travel, so grab one of the snippers that is even and use it to own them. 4) Lastly, if something goes wrong, you may as well kiss your ass goodbye. Only real failing is it's far from zone, and that road of Goblins will hunt you down if you have to run for it.

PETS TO CHARM: Poison Leech (21-25)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Shoal Pugil (24-28)
NOTES: I don't claim this is the best or fastest exp, but there are usually plenty of Pugil targets and Leeches to throw at them. 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 Buburimu is full of critters to throw at them, so I had a good time. Almost always got 140 exp including penalty per Pug. Labyrinth of Onzozo entrance is on the Mighoya Dunes, so you have a quick zone if things go rotten.

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.

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.

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.

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!**

(3) LOCATION(S): Sea Serpent Grotto (H-6, Near Stone Door)
PETS TO CHARM: Undead Bats (36-39), Royal Leech (35-38)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Sahagins (Pond, Spring, Lake) (36-39), Ghasts (38-41), Ironshells (37-40)
NOTES: Take the first right outside of Kazham, and make your way south-east until you get down to the outpost. Don't fall in any of the holes yet. Go stand in front of the outpost looking outwards. You'll see two holes to your left, drop in the closest hole to you and make your way to the waterfall and into the cave. The Grotto is right there. Once inside, go down into the connecting tunnel directly past the first room you see. If you hang around here, you'll notice that no sahagins spawn near enough to you to do anything, and one Bat and one Leech should be roaming around. Kill the Bat and Leech however you want until you get them as two evens. Just be careful of the WHM Sahagins (Lake Sahagin, I think) until you've got a feel for it. They can be a little tricky.
Also noted by Deebiggy: I found that killing Ghasts and Ironshells much faster exp. The location is around H-6 (just before the stone door) where there are plenty of Leeches to charm. There are ghasts and ironshells to the south of this area and on the other side of the door. Send Undead Bats and Leeches to the Ghasts and Ironshells in this area for quick exp chains without running around that much. However, this area is risky since the Leeches and Bats might link when you mis-charm.
Ridermd offered: Don't bother fighting Leeches, just use them as your pets. The link issues are more trouble than they're worth. Fight Crabs, Sahagin, and Ghasts. I found Ghasts weak against Leeches (tough DEF,Leeches take a beating) and Crabs are weak against Bats.

PETS TO CHARM: Desert Beetles (36-40), Desert Dhamels (39-44)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Desert Dhamels (39-44), Desert Beetles (36-40), Anticans Anticans (Decurio, Sagittarius, Speculator) (44-49)
NOTES: Run north across the field covered with Dhalmels, Beetles, and Spiders and then go west until you can turn north again into a little cove (warning: when the winds are out, an Elemental spawns in the back of the cove, so watch out if there's weather). Here's where you just have to get lucky. The Dhalmels can spawn anywhere from even to very tough, so as you're running up there just cross your fingers and pray that at least one is even. Having just that one even Dhalmel will let you create a decent little zoo. Without at least one, you have little to no chance of clearing out the other Dhalmels who have cruelly spawned as very tough. Kill off the Beetles until you get a few that are even and then go to work on the dhalmels, trying to get as many even or tough as possible without getting yourself mauled by harder ones. Mix and match pets to avoid links and you can get through this level without too much pain. Also, Dhamels will buff character with specials! “Whistle” is +12 to AGI and “Healing Breeze” heals both Dhamel and character for around 300 HPs!

NOTES: From Kazham, jump on a choco and head South or East at every possible opportunity until you get to the very SE portion of the map. When you start noticing Goblin Poachers on your wide scan you know you will be in the right area. There is an area here with 4 Goblin Poacher spawns and around 7-8 Soldier Crawler spawns. Goblin Poachers have very weak defence and fairly poor attack, so you often only need one pet per Goblin. You will need to kill off the weak and tough crawlers and you'll be all set. The crawlers here do NOT aggro but they do link, so be careful when charming. This is a very relaxing spot to level, as long as you arent competing with other BST's for the Goblins. Once in a while a Lava Bomb (47-49) will spawn in this spot, although he is not too difficult to defeat by using a few pets. Dia will help when fighting Goblins - just dont start the fight with the spell or the Goblins will not let you heal.

NOTES: In Gustav Tunnels, there are 65+ Goblin Sheperds (Go straight down the map, turn on your only right, go down a pathway and you will find a bunch of high tier goblins and some robber crabs), these Shepherds summon Goblin Pets.
Now, this may also be the most difficult place you have ever levelled, let me give you some tips.
1) At 45-50 it may be better to have a BST duo, or hell, even a WHM or RDM with you (Yes, I'm serious). Sneak and Invisible will be extremely helpful. You will still gain 200 here in a duo party. Raw and I were gaining exp chain 4-5's over and over, topping out at 300 exp.
2) There is a ledge down at the bottom, the monsters CANNOT see you from there, you are free to pull as you please from there.
3) Patience. You have to wait for a Shepherd to turn around with the leech behind him, then you have to dia and run. If the pull is too risky, dont bother. You will learn when and when you cannot pull, and you will die in the process.
4) If you get linked, DO NOT GO TO THE CAPE TERRIGAN EXIT. There is a part in the terrain there, where EVERYTHING on you will somehow gain a burst of speed and hit you. Trust me, I've died there about 7 times. Just get a goblin on you and run, when you die you'll know the spot im talking about. Bune also has killed me once for going this way.
5) There may be other PT's here, they are good for one thing only: Raise 2.
6) At 50 you will begin to do some insane pulls. What I do is go to the ledge and see if there are any shepherds near, if not I begin to Sneak and Invisible. Now get ready for the fun part. Run out through all of the goblins, stand in the middle of them all (most likely) and find a shepherd. Wait for it to turn around. Use Fight on the goblin pet (Invis stays) and run back to the ledge, use heel (Invis dissapears). Wait until you can see your pet, if a link comes run.
7) Don't try to pull with the Shepherd facing the same way, it will not work

4) If you get linked, DO NOT GO TO THE CAPE TERRIGAN EXIT. There is a part in the terrain there, where EVERYTHING on you will somehow gain a burst of speed and hit you. Trust me, I've died there about 7 times. Just get a goblin on you and run, when you die you'll know the spot im talking about. Bune also has killed me once for going this way.
5) There may be other PT's here, they are good for one thing only: Raise 2.
6) At 50 you will begin to do some insane pulls. What I do is go to the ledge and see if there are any shepherds near, if not I begin to Sneak and Invisible. Now get ready for the fun part. Run out through all of the goblins, stand in the middle of them all (most likely) and find a shepherd. Wait for it to turn around. Use Fight on the goblin pet (Invis stays) and run back to the ledge, use heel (Invis dissapears). Wait until you can see your pet, if a link comes run.
7) Don't try to pull with the Shepherd facing the same way, it will not work

PETS TO CHARM: Labyrinth Lizards (49-51), Hornflies (50-53), Soldier Crawlers (47-49)
MOBS TO FIGHT: Labyrinth Lizards (49-51), Hornflies (50-53)
NOTES: This area is suited to farm lizard skins and chest keys (the lizards drop keys). The lizards have a very incredible drop rate (usually drops 3-4 items), and this area has 6 spawn locations for the chest. A 7th chest spawn area is in the Exoray (51-54) area near the Labyrinth Lizards. So farm and level at the same time.

MOBS TO FIGHT: Goblin Pets (Pets of Goblin Shepherds) (~55?)
NOTES: In Gustav Tunnels, there are 65+ Goblin Sheperds (Go straight down the map, turn on your only right, go down a pathway and you will find a bunch of high tier goblins and some robber crabs), these Shepherds summon Goblin Pets.
Now, this may also be the most difficult place you have ever levelled, let me give you some tips.
1) At 45-50 it may be better to have a BST duo, or hell, even a WHM or RDM with you (Yes, I'm serious). Sneak and Invisible will be extremely helpful. You will still gain 200 here in a duo party. Raw and I were gaining exp chain 4-5's over and over, topping out at 300 exp.
2) There is a ledge down at the bottom, the monsters CANNOT see you from there, you are free to pull as you please from there.
3) Patience. You have to wait for a Shepherd to turn around with the leech behind him, then you have to dia and run. If the pull is too risky, dont bother. You will learn when and when you cannot pull, and you will die in the process.

NotDeadZannen stated: It's safe, I make good money, and I don't even have to engage (I don't dare). I can use 2-3 DC-EM bats on T-VT Dromas and still get a nice chuck of exp while never being hit. They do cast ancient magic, so you bats take 300-700 damage hits at times. Hence why I don't dare release and engage these things. I keep Protect/Shell/Blink up at all times, and I am very safe by the stairs. There are also tons of bats and no one to bother you. Just be in store for a long trip to Feiyin. Bring enough pet food.

NOTES: If the caves are empty (most time of the day), head around the 2nd corner and send decent/even Spiders on even/tough Spiders, or use them to kill even/tough Anticans in the first big room. They inflict great damage, especially when they use Sickle Slash. Beetles aren't really good pets.
This area is still a good spot when a party camps at the E. Altepa entrance. They mostly hunt Beetles there leaving the Spiders and Anticans for yourself.
Very stress free environment without agro spawns in the first half of the Antican room, decent exp - enjoyed that zone WAY more than crowded and dangerous Crawlers Nest @ lev 53.

MOBS TO FIGHT: Chamber Beetles (56-58), Hellmines (59-62)
NOTES: You'll have a bit of trouble finding even match bats, and most beetles will be VT. Nazrious stated: Hellmines give much more XP and the fact that they can explode makes for faster fights and higher chains. Taking into consideration Beetles high Evasion and Defense, Hellmines actually provide more exp per hour (around 6k in 2 hour from 55-56 ^^). However, there are only 4 hellmines so you some times find that you have no prey, and therefore kill Chamber Beetles, Fallen Officers (52-55) or Funnel Bats.
WisePiggy offered: If you go through banishing gate #2 there are no Funnel Bats to charm (only Beetles) so it is much less stressful than in the basement (Beetles are much better pets than Bats) and there is less competition from coffer hunting parties. You just have to make sure you dont die because getting back past gate #1 & #2 can be a pain. There are undead to hunt behind banishing gate #2 as well, when the hellmines are all dead.

MOBS TO FIGHT: Bark Spiders (60-63), Death Caps (60-63)
NOTES: Beware when you attempt to charm the Mandragoras since they have a higher resistance to charm, so I would recommend having FULL AF. Although the Monster Signa is not needed, it will be VERY useful for reducing your fail rate. Remember, at this level failure isn't something with which you wish to deal. Aquarius will probably appear every so often. I would not recommend going against him alone; instead get at least 1 or 2 other BSTs to work along with you when you fight him.
Mistaaravim noted: Boyahda Tree is MEAN. Everything links and comes in large packs. The XP is great until 1) you fail a charm and die before you know what happened, or 2) you find yet another coffer key and your obsessive compulsive side says to go find the treasure. Those coffers are in very high demand and can be hard to get. And, at level 60 your even Funguar can have troubles against the highest level Spiders.

The bomb respawn rate isn't incredibly fast but if you figure out the spawn locations and the right order on how to do it, you can keep on going non-stop to each location. Do NOT use the Opopos... They have a charm difficulty just about equivalent to Slimes even with a Monster Signa and full AF the decent challenges still register as "Difficult to charm".
