I was wondering since i got sea access if it is possible to form a decent EXP party there wither it be in the palace, or in the gardens

Cuase i need to farm organs but it hard getting help... I would thing a typical party with a WHM would be good for Aerns due to silence, but i dont know about the other mobs.

and Also leveling there could be a good way to gather pop items for 1st tier Sea Gods that can be killed with 6-12 people
 
The second-tier mobs, which apparently have a higher drop rate of the nq organs, are DC-VT to 75s I believe. I tried duoing a few with a pld (on my whm), it wasnt too difficult but a couple extra hands would have made a world the difference.
 
Hpemde are the only ones that make actually decent XP (since them opening mouth + a strong WS/nuke = most of their life)...Aerns probably the worst since if your party's low on MP or something and one RRs, it can be total hell. =/

I may be able to help ya farm sometime, but after farming over thirty Aern Organs for people...ah... ^^;
 
Aerns aren't terrible exp, but it's important to be ready and able to deal with their reraising.

Some things, however, you're simply not going to be able to farm at an exp-party pace, simply because there aren't enough spawns close enough together to say so. Euvhis, for example. (And may I interject that their NQ organ drop rate inspires suicide.)
 
Wasn't there a big thing about sea manaburn pts when CoP came out?

A room in Hu'Xzoi (or one of those spots) had a room with 3 IT SMN that had 3 VT-IT elementals. If timed right, could manaburn an infinite chain very, very easily (something like a II and two III tier spells could kill the eles).

Ironically, they made it so you can't do that anymore.
 
I need a bunch of organs and tissues too Claud.^^ Let me know when you go and I'll try to tag along. :P

Oh and check your PM's!
 
Aerns aren't very tank friendly. They work well with manaburn groups, because you don't need to deal with their TP moves. If you want NQ aern organs, the ones out in Al'Tieu have had the best drop rate from my farming experience. In at least 100 kills of the IT ones in garden I think I got all of 2 NQ organs.

The VT ones in palace are the ones that drop HQ aern organs, and the Ix'Aern that you spawn with them drops a nice blm cape, so I doubt a sea ls would have trouble finding blms willing to farm them up for 5k/hr or so exp.
 
Aern mnk's and nins suck, other then that, they arent to bad.
 
Capes: very low drop rate.

In farming in Ru'Hmet trying to pop Ix'DRG, i've seen plenty organs drop.
 
I've merited there before, sorta risky with links and reraise but not too bad with a sleeper. The exp wasn't that great but we didn't have a very good set up.
 
I'm interested in farming, too. Feel free to look me up. SAM75 or RDM70
 
I wouldn't go there for the sole purpose of exping, but last time I was farming euvhi's and grahs with a party of 6 we were getting like 6kish an hour. Could have done a few things to boost exp as well, prolly coulda reached 7-8k.
 
you better off finding a sea shell that do sea alot of time

hard part would be finding 6 people that have sea access. Plus mobs there have very nasty moves. You also could not get the big chains because the mobs are 15min spawns. Could maybe do pld and 5 blm?
 
Heard the "bands" Aerns put on mid-fight give them like +20% haste each or some crap? I'll hafto look that up to get more accurate detail, just thought I'd bring it up...
