FFXI Chains of Promathia Mission Guide
10. Leveling Spots in the Chains of Promathia Areas
Everyone knows that the standard leveling spots can become crowded, boring and
cumbersome. The following information is for those who would like to explore the new
CoP areas with an experience points party. You may find that the new mobs are unique,
but some areas come with a price. While the experience points areas may be less
crowded, some of the mobs are just simply not good overal for experience points chains.
The best thing to do is to find out for yourself if the areas listed below are good for your
party.
10.1. A note about CoP Capped Areas
Areas such as Riverne Site #A01, #B01, Promyvion, Sacrarium, etc may seem like a great
place to level. However, you should know that the Incredibly Tough monsters in these
areas do not necessarily give you Incredibly Tough experience points.
To obtain experience points that directly reflect the mob s difficulty in the level cap areas,
you must meet one of the following conditions:
Be the level of the level cap area e.g. Level 50 Cap Sacrarium= Level 50 job.
Be Level 75 and on Merit Point Mode.
o If you are a Level 75 Paladin and use that job for the capped area, you will
receive the maximum amount of points reward from the monster if you are
currently on Merit Point Mode.
Remember also that you will not receive any skill up points in a capped area unless
combat and magic abilities are underleveled for that area.
While it seems like a good idea to use the capped areas for experience points, it is only
beneficial to people who are below the level of the cap, or who have a Level 75 job.
10.2. Attowha Chasm
10.2.1. Level 25-28: Flesh Eaters (34-38)
An alternative to leveling in the Yuhtunga and Yhoater areas, you can take a party with
magical and ranged attack jobs to kill Flesh Eater mobs. These mobs are located in the
caves and bridges or Attowha Chasm. Be careful here though, because Air Elementals
and Gazers are roam the area as well. Recommended jobs are Summoners, Rangers,
Black Mages for damage dealing.

10.2.2. Level 54-57: Sand Lizards (65-67)
When the Boyahda Tree or Kuftal Tunnel are too crowded, this is a great alternative.
However, the trek to this camp maybe a little dangerous. Be careful and make sure
pullers do not link the lizards. A standard experience points party should set up camp
around (F-6) in the tunnel leading to Boneyard Gully. White Mage is recommended for
the status ailments.
10.3. Bibiki Bay
10.3.1. Level 25-29: Marine Dhalmel, Efts and Ravans (34-38)
Another alternative to leveling outside of Kazham. These are located at the entrance from
Buburimu Peninsula. Set up camp at (I-6). All three of these type of mobs link, so make
sure your camp is safe and link free.
10.3.2. Level 64-68: Hobgoblin Martialist, Animalier, Venerer, Fascinator
(74-76)
Hobgoblins are from the Goblin family. These are great experience points mobs and can
create high chains for even a standard experience point party. Their ability to Bomb Toss
can be dangerous, but with Barfira spell up, should be no problem. There are a few
camps to take note of, but they are not particularly safe. Your party will have to be ready
for any additional links that will spawn from behind. Good camps are at: North (F-7),
North (F-8) and (G-8).
10.3.3. Level 68-70: Catobeplas (76-80)
Some players may not enjoy experience on Catobeplas (Dhalmel) because of the Silence
and Cure abilities. However, these mobs are plentiful and die rather quickly while in
Berserk mode. Your party should have no problem finding a camp in the (G-8) area to
level on the Catobeplas. Make sure you have a Red Mage or Bard in the party to Dispel
any buffs and a White Mage main or subjob for Silence spell.
10.3.4. Level 70-75: Hobgoblin Blagger, Alastor, Angler, Physician (76-80)
These goblins are great for high experience points chains and the Bomb Toss ability can
create even faster chains. While the experience points may be low for Level 75 players,
the kills are fast and furious, which more than makes up for the lower experience points

per mob. Camp at (F-10) and be careful of AoE spells that may aggro the wandering Eft
mobs.
10.4. Bibiki Bay- Purgonorgo Isle
10.4.1. Level 29-32: Toucan, Alruane (38-40)
Toucans (Raven) and Alruanes (Mandragora) make for a different experience area
because your party will have to travel on the Manaclipper to Purgonorgo Isle. The
sceneary is excellent and there are plenty of monsters to create high experience chains.
Mandragora s are difficult for Ninja tanks and Raven s have AoE wind attacks, so be
mindful of this. The disadvantage of this area is the means of travel. It can take a long
time to reach Purgonorgo Isle via the Manaclipper, so know the boat schedule before
asking players to join.
10.5. Carpenter s Landing
There are not many decent experience points spots here. This area is good for farming
Birdtrap Leaves, Black Tiger Fangs and Thunder/Water Clusters for Level 40 players.
10.6. Lufaise Meadows
10.6.1. Level 30-35: Gigas Braver, Catapulter, Martialist, Warwolf; Orcish
Bowshooter, Footsoldier, Gladiator, Trooper (40-44)
Similar to Lower Delkfutt s Tower, your party may decide to engage Gigas type mobs.
There are plenty that roam the Lufaise Meadows. Make sure to find a safe camp spot
away from any aggro of Bugards and Wingrats. Orc mobs also roam the same vicinity, so
it is party preference on which type of mobs to engage.
*Author s Note: Fomor roam the area as well at night from 18:00 to 04:00. These Fomor
travel in party style and if your group chooses to engage, be very careful of Fomor Hate
and know that you will have to fight multiple Fomor at the same time.
10.6.2. Level 70-75: Abraxas, Tavnazian Ram (80-81)
At (K-7) there is a camp that is populated by Abraxas (Giant Bird) and Tavnazian Rams.
The rams are not recommended for an experience points party because of its Max HP
