While I know people are loathe to give up their 'honey holes', I figured I'd try my luck at getting some camp advice.

I've tried several places (2box nin/dnc + rdm/thf) with the exact same result every time, that being 60-75 coins. Where I have tried:


Xarc at count Raum. Pros: /ja mobs cons: crowded

Xarc in tunnel by TE: Pros: /ja mobs and bst nm Cons: crowded

Windy just before 1st TE: Pros: /ja and ws mobs cons: one TE requires sac

Sandy at N. Sandy zoneline: Pros: safe Cons: TE can be sucky if downstairs aggros, ninja NM can charm and waste time, magic proc mobs

Bastok at Gusta zone: Pros: Safe and good mobs Cons: crowded and 5th TE can suck to 2box.


I eat food and my ninja is well equipped. Other than the upgrade to (90) Kannagi and a better haidate augment there is nothing I really lack. But then I hear about people getting 100-300 coins and figure it must be the camp because I am procing them and killing them as fast as I can. The only way I could increase kill speed would be to pull and stage on my 2box while proc/killing and that is really more of a hassle than I am looking for.

Any tips or camps to push my production from 70 up to 100+?

^^^^What he said. Try to find a camp w/ at least 2 NM spawns and kill their PH, then whatever else in the down time (preferably ja mobs.) I do this BST/DNC and can net anywhere from 70 coins on a bad run and up to 300 on good ones. As for a camp being crowded, I just search the zone before I decide when to go, if there's more than 12, or more than 2 BSTs, I'll go do something else and come back later. Also i see in some search comments people will record the time they entered so you have a general idea of when they are leaving.

I do see a lot of bsts in dyna. I'm not adverse to leveling a job strictly for one thing but is bst really so much of a monster in dyna that a very pedestrian bst with, at best, magian axes would kill more quickly than a emp nin/dnc?

I figure there are so many in there it has to be dominant, just wondering how good it is.

I think the benefit of going bst is just the ability to solo so well. I don't think I've them in there otherwise. (Then again, I don't pay attention, either.)

DipperYuly barely gets touched +TH3 and the ability to have more than one mob on you w/o the need for sleep.

Even Nazuna has it's advantages with Sheep Song for crowd control (plus it can procc JA mobs via AoE.) But overall DipperYuly w/ two Eva axes is pretty dominant.

I've seen BSTs with full perle in there soloing away. Not sure on how much currency they're getting, but they're there.
