FYI:
My linkshell and a few random people decided to try Abyssea EXP in Attowha early today. There's a bunch (lots) of miniature worm mobs just West of the Tor, on the Eastern half of the map.
They have very low HP, but do aggro and link, and of course cast potent earth-based nukes. Biggest problem is that they do not grant Azure (blue) lights from magic (or any other) killshots. This is analogous to Pachypodiums and Blood Bats in Tahrongi not granting any Ruby (red) lights at all.
Thusly, our group didn't get Time Extensions from blue chests. One proposed solution would be to earn Azure lights from another mob type, prior to starting in on the worms. You'll still want BLMs in your alliance, because Sleepga is fairly mandatory for the linking/casting worms, and they resisted Repose (didn't have a BRD in the group).

someone in my LS said the feet and legs are in the Buburimu Maw (Attowa Chasm area) but you have to use "resistance notes" to purchase them. And then Magicians to bring them to the +2 level everyone is drooling over...I have yet to see any information on exactly what these trials will be..

I have to say the sperm camp (dyrbbuk?) in kon is my favorite so far. it used to be the lizard camp because of easy ruby, however last night I found that the sperms give azure. we had just started and capped azure and pearl... then I tried a jinpu killshot and sure enough, amber. it's best to have the rest of the alliance kill as normal and just have 1 DD sacrifice his damage for elemental ws killshots.
after we had 30 amber (didn't take long at all if you have a competent killshotter), we were getting big item chests probably every 4th mob (if that). I personally got 4/5 eve key items and 2/3 Kulkulan key items in about 2 hrs. there were a couple duplicates (saw 3 hippogrif key items). Additionally, we saw two -5%/-5% dark rings and a decent MDB tower shield.
Contrary to common belief, we did not see less TE's and other chests, it was pretty well spread out.
I'd definitely recommend this camp to any good group... pickups may have trouble with it (we had 8 people in the alliance in our LS, including Peroperopero, a relic MNK).
- watch out for random Turul spawns, have a good kiter be ready for him to run around the mountain to de-pop him. There is no good camp really, just stay close to the mountain.

Kinda surprised ppl havent commented more on the new exp camps. I'm looking for some info on good new exp camps. I am leading a group to abyssea - misareaux tonight so would be interested if ppl had info on exp camps there.
I did exp camp there (abyssea - misareaux) once before on the birds it went well would prolly do it again if i cant find info on anywhere else. The birds hit pretty damn hard but with tank there shouldnt be a problem.

Could you update this to include some spots in Vunkerl? I just made the most failtastic party in there ever. I'm actually ashamed by how bad it went. That place is pure evil.

just a lil info i got while spectating in miseraux while doing the f-in sausage quest... I saw parties of JUST SIX exping off of the spiral murex mobs (on my server those shells are 70k per, as they are used in leg seal quest) and they were getting the GIANT gold chests..so they were obviously not hurting for light builds...and they would go at it for long periods of time at a clip....
also on a side note...i was roasting sausages, and decided to kill a DC cluster...i killed ONLY ONE MOB and got a TE chest..... exploit on lights maybe?

I have seen this also. Maybe you can get decent xp off 6 man party Idk if people have even tried to party 6 man in abyssea...
Edit: I have partied in abyssea by the time the party was over I had full light and decided to solo (i was on Blu) I was getting gold boxes and TE with no problem...but I had full lights though.

I was on sam/war...there are some that are DC-- to 85 (which is the one i chose to rape) and I just overwhelmed it with SC dmg and WS dmg using Sekk/Sengi combo
and the parties i've seen low-man abyssea (lulz that 6 person party is now low-man for exp in abyssea) was like pld/nin's + thfs + whm + sch(or rdm) + bst...bst was always in there for Dipper Yuly, because the spiral shells on my server are 70k a pop....and used for pld/blu/whatever leg seals (do want blu!!!)

ok thanks, i will try to involve someone from my social to try farm something today or tomorrow, the only problem is really know which NM drop which seals (im after paladin). I dont really want to waste hours repeating tedious quest, and also i would like to get the feet out from the boxes.

Dont know if its posted but I don't believe the coastal colibri give ruby light. They also seemed to resist magic quite a bit (although they do not reflect) , so sometimes sleeping was an issue. They also link.

I've partied on Ignus Eruca's and they spat out pearl pretty quick, we also did about 10 zantetsukens back to back and in that time we capped out our pearl, I know not everyone will have access to that luxory but, hey just saying :3 they were good.

GOGOGOGOGO AF3/pop item farming only, *** don't give ruby light.
Cockatrice in Attowha work well, grant all lights. Need mages that don't suck for Stona/Silena though. Straight west of the Tor. Also appear to have some kind of EXP bonus - they cap at 640/kill.

Yeah I had an amazing cockatrice camp. And the best thing is: they are VERY weak to Aero5. (weak to wind damage)
We caped exp at 640 after 2h, however we ran out of time as TE where really really greedy. Easy to pull, easy to kill, sleepable by BRD COR and BLM and WHM easily.
As blm/rdm 85 I was able to put out 2k+ Aero5. (Atma of heavens + COR)
Only problem: Silence and pertify. Have healers that can silena and stona fast.

_______________________________________________________________________ I'm inclined to chalk that up to bad luck. We left with about as much time as we entered with and could have easily made positive time if we weren't trying to farm AF3 feet. We were in there for a bit more than six hours, for what it's worth.

I figured I'll post my experience and opinions about the exp camps in abyssea. The ones I have tried atleast. I know other ppl might have different experience with camps than I have, and it would be nice to get your input as well.
*I dont know how to make tables and such, so I will just list the stuff here*
Everyone is welcome to post their own favourite camp, opinions about the camps listed already, or which camps to avoid at all costs
Tahrongi Canyon
Pachypodium - Mandragora family.
Squishy mobs that only uses Scream (MND down) and Leaf Dagger (Poison) as TP moves, they also use Head Butt and Wild Oats. Head Butt does a bit under 200 damage to Lv.80 melee without Berserk up.Wild Oats not quite as strong; 130-150 damage to Lv.80 players.
They go down pretty fast, and a lot of people like killing these. Although I have been in a lot of parties that have had problem with lights on these. Because of that I personally try to avoid this camp.
Caoineag - Corpselights family
Even more squishy than mandies, believe it or not. They are BLM mobs that casts -Ga III and AM (II?). Might be good to have a RDM silence pull these. Because they die incredible fast, its important that you have an alliance that actually listen when you start building lights. Once all the lights are capped, these brings in really good exp, having 2 pullers can be good if you have a solid group.
Blood Bat - Bat family
Same as the two above, they are really squishy. Only uses defense down and evasion down TP moves iirc (also uses merrow drain, which drains MP). This is my favourite camp of all I have tried. Make sure to bring a bard or cor for sleeps, as they are very resistant to dark based sleep (almost impossible to land sleep without ES). These DO link when you pull them if they are too close to each other.
Jaguarundi - Coeurl family
As with most camps I will post, these are very squishy. Can be slept with both dark and light based sleeps. Have atleast 1 mage in each party with paralyna and silena, since they silence and paralyze a lot. But the exp is really worth the trouble on these. As far as I remember, the only TP moves they have is paralyze and silence. These don't link, but they do aggro.
La Theine
Crapaudy - Poroggo family
I've only done these a few times, but those parties have been great! The frogs dont use any TP moves, and they dont cast any spells! The are fairly evasive and hit hard though. They are extremely resistan to light based magic though, so dont rely on your BRD to be the sleeper. These also link if pulled when they are too close to each other. Downside is if you dont have warp to the camp, because you will waste 10ish minutes for the walk all across the zone to get to the camp.
Rock Grinder - Worms family
I had a few parties there and exp is great. Hit 610 exp/kill after ~1.5h and. The key here is to have the DD's focus and fight only one worm at a time. The worms link and their AoE can be very nasty. One of the better camps in my oppinion. ~ Bismarck.Helixx
Geier - Bird family
I have only had 1 party on these so far. As all birds these are weak to piercing DMG. They go down really fast. Uses damnation dive (DMG and stun) and wing cutter as TP moves. These also links but are easy to sleep with both dark and light based magic.
Konschtat
Note: The flyin dragon thingy that roams the area is now aggroing
Dapifer Imp - Imp family
I'll avoid these as the plague. Even though they are squishy, they still have their AoE silence and amnesia moves that we all remember from the mire. And they are BLM ofcourse and casts -Ga III and if i remember correct AM. Only had one party on these, and I wont make a second one.
Shadow Lizard - Lizard family
I have heard that ppl had good pt's on these, but I havent experienced it myself. Only been doing these once, and I wont go back there if I can help it. They use petrify, evasion down, fireball, and poison as their TP moves. Why would you wanna fight these, i dont know.
Mesa Wivre - Wivre family
Only tried these once, because all the other camps were taken at the time. At first the seemed very easy to kill. But later on people were dying in piles. They use all Wivre TP moves, including demoralizing roar, boiling blood and granite hide. Avoid these unless you have absolutely no other choice, and even then. Avoid these.
Ypotryll - Bugard family
I've had both very good parties and very bad parties on these. They die fairly fast. They use all the normal bugard TP moves. To be honest, there's not much to say about these. Not very exciting camp in my opinion. They do link, arent resistant to anything particular as far as I know.
Vunkerl - AF Drops: COR, DNC, NIN, BLU, SCH, SAM, DRG (all feet)
Shewriwhile - Corpselight family
These are pretty much the same as the sperms in tahrongi. Die fast, cast -ga magic, annoying critters with their ice spikes. RDM/NIN for silence pulling is good. Located just north of #7. They are really easy to kill, and very easy to get whatever light you want on. However, not a very good mob for exping on really. After killing these for 4.5 hours our exp/kill was a bit under 400. If you want fast exp/merits, there are way better mobs to kill. Took us about 3 hours til we got the first AF to drop, but after that they were more frequent drops.
Misareaux Coast - AF Drops: BRD, DRK, PLD, BST (all feet)
Coastal Colibri - Colibri family
I've not fought these myself, but I've seen people fight them. They are colibri's, what else is there to say. Can only assume the are as squishy as old bird camps.
Dont know if its posted but I don't believe the coastal colibri give ruby light. They also seemed to resist magic quite a bit (although they do not reflect) , so sometimes sleeping was an issue. They also link. (Ifrit.Myori)
Atrociraptor - Raptor Family
Atrociraptor in Misareaux Coast is pretty good, it's by Conflux #7 and a Martello on the map. Did a JP party there the other night for 4-5 hours, got about 5 AF drops (4 of them being rng feet >.< ughh). Was overflowing with gold chests so I suggest you make up rules for all the key items/augments in them beforehand.
Only annoying thing is an AOE stun move it does, but from what I can recall doesn't do them too often. Good luck to those who try it out! :) (Leviathan.Inem)
Attohwa - AF Drops: RDM, WHM, MNK, WAR, BLM (all feet)
Entozoon - Worm Family
There's a bunch (lots) of miniature worm mobs just West of the Tor, on the Eastern half of the map.
They have very low HP, but do aggro and link, and of course cast potent earth-based nukes. Biggest problem is that they do not grant Azure (blue) lights from magic (or any other) killshots. This is analogous to Pachypodiums and Blood Bats in Tahrongi not granting any Ruby (red) lights at all.
Thusly, our group didn't get Time Extensions from blue chests. One proposed solution would be to earn Azure lights from another mob type, prior to starting in on the worms. You'll still want BLMs in your alliance, because Sleepga is fairly mandatory for the linking/casting worms, and they resisted Repose (didn't have a BRD in the group). (Bismarck.Elanabelle)
Ignis Eruca - Crawler Family
I did crawlers in Attohwa getting pearl off them was slow as hell not a good mob to xp off imo. (Leviathan.Anbu)
We had same issue on crawlers last night, REALLY greedy with the time chests. We were getting a hell of a lot of blue chests, but none of them were time (Odin.Blazza)
Amuckatrice - Cocatrice Family
Yeah I had an amazing cockatrice camp. And the best thing is: they are VERY weak to Aero5. (weak to wind damage)
We caped exp at 640 after 2h, however we ran out of time as TE where really really greedy. Easy to pull, easy to kill, sleepable by BRD COR and BLM and WHM easily.
As blm/rdm 85 I was able to put out 2k+ Aero5. (Atma of heavens + COR)
