Well I've not logged for a while. Its been a long while. Im 41 now. So I'll fill you in on some experiences I've had. At 28 I moved to Korroloka tunnel. I killed bats and spiders near the entrance to bastok mines. The blobs there are hard to charm but make great pets. At 29 or 30 I moved deeper in, there is a great camp that has Spiders and Crabs, and pugils that I killed till about 31 I think. There is an NM that pops in the spider room that drops the rare/ex scythe, webcutter, that bst can use. Its an awesome scythe, but I have a hard time keeping my axe capped at this point, so i wont worry about it till later on. So after that I headed to Eastern Altep Desert, near the zone to Korrolka tunnel. There I killed more spiders and beetles. Man at this point I know I'm getting close to the good stuff. At 33 I decided to try out Gusgen Mines.

Until now leveling has been pretty easy in the zones I've been in. Very little argo and enough room to manuever around, along with zones near by it hasnt been to hard. But grab yourself some sneak oils and head to the basement of Gusgen Mines. This is by far the best place to xp as beast till 36. Down in the basement there are some undead so you have to be careful of your hp's but its not to big a deal. In the last room there are 5 bombs that pop. Grab yourself some mobs, any mobs, even if they are toughs. They wont be around long enough to survive to uncharm you anyway. Here you just let them do the work while you heal and keep hps/mps full. The bombs will use self destruct and if you do it right, you can chain 5 for massive xp. I went from 33 to 36 in about 8 hours. The bombs argo but dont link one another. I got leave and didnt even use it the first level. Leave comes in so handy for keeping argo controled and making xp go longer and faster. It is everything you have heard it to be and much more!

After 36 I went back to the desert and xpied off of beetles and Anticans till 37. It was a rough level. Anticans are tough to kill, as well as beetles. It was good practice to building zoos though. Building Zoos? For those of you that dont know "Building a zoo" basically means finding the mobs you want to be your pets, usually mobs that are stronger than your intended kills, dont link on mischarms, and dont argo. Its not always the chase but you get the point. Anyway you kill off all toughs, and decents until EMs pop. You then keep these EM's around forever using leave. Ive had the same two EM pets for over 6 hours before.

At 37 I moved to the Sea Serpent Grotto, by the first door you go through to head to Norg, there is a pond with a iron shell in it, 2 leeches, and 2 undead. SCARY, at first but once you figure out you can walk around alot more than you think its all good. Leeches make good pets and can usually take down the EM-T++ skellies there. Stay away from fighting along side your pet on the bones that carry the scythes around. They use aoe magic and will kill you or help other bones argo your low hps. There is also an NM that pops from one of those 2 leeches. Masan is its name, its a leech and drops the Pigeon Blood Ruby. 150-200k.! If you want more info on the NM let me know. I only saw it once and I did not get the claim. I was gonna go for it, there is some EM blobs in one room down the line that I was gonna two hour and give it a whirl but it never popped. Also you can get chest keys if you dont have map this comes in handy in obtaining it.!

Exp after leave really picks up and the job gets even more fun. When you can chain 3 and 4 on your own its quite a sense of accomplishment. I was at the Grotto till 41 and have moved onto Garliage. From what I've done in Garliage so far the road to 43 or 44 will be easy.

AF 1 was easy with the help of Miruuk and Lexxia. Talk to Brutus in UJ. Hes the dude you get choco license from. He wants you to find a bell in Upper Delfucks Tower. Go there, up to 10th floor and kill to get a chest key, unlock chest, get bell, return for your axe. Which imo is a great weapon at 40 for bst. This af can be soloed by bst at forty, grab some invis powders and some jugs and you could do it yourself. I went as bst to see and miruuk and lexx killed most of the shit for me. But I was able to hold my own easy.

Some advice:

Stick with it. Before leave death in inevitable and sometimes will make you wanna quit. But dont. Stick with it, be patient, dont force xp and it will happen. Same for after leave. Dont force xp, you will kill yourself. I stopped using reraise, mostly cuz if I raise up Ill just die again from blood argo. BTW I sold off the Monster Signa. Its worthless after Leave. The loss of tp blows most times. I may pick up an Apollos staff later on though. Its supposedly suppose to increase your chance of charming by 15%. Ive also heard that it increase your charm, which means it lasts longer without uncharming. dunno though. Ill post about it later on. Well I'm off for now. I gotta a whm sub to work on ><. Hope some of this info helps.
