It seems lately that my friends and I are stuck in a rut. Parties aren't fun anymore. We seem to be at a lvl that is akin to the dunes at 19 and Qufim at 24. Level 51 is dragging on and on.
We had a bad experience trying to go to Kuftal Tunnel. My wife died twice and the whole party died once when sneak wore off in a section where once the warning came on there was no place to hide.
I think we just picked up a bard for staticing. Now have pld whm blm mnk and brd. We tried a bones party tonight and only got 2 in about 2k xp hours because of scarcity of non mage bones. We picked on a few lonely beetles but xp was poor.
Does anyone have any idea of good places and mobs for the 51 range?
Thanks.

Hmm, I think spiders in Boyahdo? Pld might get one-shot a couple times but otherwise you should be ok XD
make a better static. make me the 52 whm lol
Make it an ever better static, buy me rng gear except for a gun and legs and I'll be a 52 rng in there. I can make my own bullets, just don't have money for the gear right now lol.
I just stuck with crabs through this time, although possibly you could chain the beetles in Garliage? I don't think monks are great vs these shelled creatures (crabs/beetles) but I don't know any place with bones because I'm a thf and I deal more dmg with no H2H weapon and 94 H2H skill than as lvl 70+ thf with hoplites harpe on bones...

I recommend you go to Western Altepa Desert and try the Quicksand Caves. The Antican Signifiers there use ancient magic but, if you have BLM with Stun, you should be able to level nicely and without worrying about aggro.
IMHO it is a VERY nice place to level.

Go to Crawlers Nest, in the back by the rumblers. You can fight helm beetles/knight crawlers/ and those 3rd tier scorpions not sure of the name, they give good exp from 51-53. ^^ Best place to lvl IMO

Although I'm just at level 50....I partied early Saturday A.M. with Japenese party - we went to Vahzl and went North of there to a place called [Uleguerand Range](Im at work so I don't have the maps). If you have the Xcabard maps you'll see it way North of the telepoint. We were getting min. 200 exp. and at times 240-260 in this party. It was awesome and a nice change from the standard party spots....just make sure you sneak, inviisble there - imo it helps if ppl bring powders and oils if you only have one whm...or other party members who cant sneak, invisi! Go for it....if you see me around Jeuno send me tell and I'll tele you there freebie!!! Good luck.
Thanks.

I think there are other places good to level in but can't think of any now since reading crayolalovestheburgers crap has stuck in my head and is making me feel like taking a crap.
I found a good article so I pasted it below, it is from the Warrior job forum but it's not a pasty:

Having recently acquired level 75 as a warrior, I thought I would share my information.
This is a guide centered on being a DD war, and a damn good one.
I'm not here to lay down a list of warrior abilities and hope to call that a faq, I'm just trying to show people how I went and what I used.
-----------------------------------------------------
Use the following weapons for the following subjobs:
Monk: great axe
Thief: great axe
ninja: dual axes
I chose elvaan as my race purely on the fact that I wanted to do damage. Everyone might say elvaan's have low dex and accuraccy, but with all the accuracy gear you can get, it's not much of an issue.
Job levels
Warrior/nothing 1-10 -- solo in starting city (start with an axe and move to great axe ASAP)
Warrior/nothing 10-12 -- solo on worms in la theine
Warrior/nothing 12-14 -- party on lizards in the dunes
Warrior/nothing 14-15 -- party on crabs in the dunes
Warrior/nothing 15-18 -- party on flies in the dunes (get subjob at 18)
Monk/Warrior 1-12 -- same path as wariror 1-12
Warrior/Monk 18-20 -- party on gobs and pugils (gobs recommended) in the dunes
Warrior/Monk 20-22 -- worms in qufim
Warrior/Monk 22-24 -- crabs in qufim
Warrior/Monk 24-25 -- gobs in lower delkfutt or pugils in qufim
Monk/Warrior 12-14 -- party on lizards in dunes
At this point you can either get thief to 15+ or keep leveling war until later
Warrior/Monk 25-27 -- mandragoras in yhuntunga jungle
Warrior/Monk 27-30 -- mandragoras in yhoator jungle
Warrior/Thief 30-32 -- goblin smithies in yhoator jungle
Warrior/Thief 32-36 -- garlaige citadel seige bats then move to borer beetles
Warrior/Thief 36-38 -- worker crawlers in crawlers nest
Warrior/Thief 38-40 -- nest beetles in crawlers nest
Warrior/Thief 40-43 -- soldier crawlers in crawlers nest
Warrior/Thief 43-46 -- hornfly (these really suck so you might stick on soldiers a little longer than 43)
Warrior/Thief 46-48 -- spiders in quicksands at east altep j-7
Warrior/Thief 48-50 -- spiders in quicksands at west altep j-9
Warrior/Thief 50-53 -- chamber beetles in garlaige citadel
Now you will want to unlock the ninja job, and level it to a good level(27+). The reason I switch to ninja at this stage is because of the weaponskill rampage learned at level 55, which is just devestating for its level. You could switch to ninja even sooner than level 55 if you feel the need to.
Warrior/Thief or Ninja 53-56 -- bark spiders in boyahda tree
Warrior/Ninja 56-57 -- robber crabs in boyahda tree
Warrior/Ninja 57-59 -- robber crabs in cape terrigan
Warrior/Ninja 59-61 -- velociraptors and peryton
At 60 you have another choice between ninja and thief, at this point you would learn the great axe skill raging rush, with combined with trick attack is crazy damage. I personally chose /thief all the way to 75 after 60 since you also receive trick attack at this level.
Warrior/Thief 61-65 -- toramas in labyrinth of onzozo
Warrior/Thief 65-67 -- processionaires in boyahda tree
Warrior/Thief 67-69 -- steelshells in boyahda tree
Warrior/Thief 69-70 -- darters in boyahda tree
Warrior/Thief 70-71 -- spiders and darters in dragons aery
Warrior/Thief 71-73 -- spartoi warrior/sorcerer and lemures in king ranps tomb (this part SUCKS)
Warrior/Thief 73-75 -- aura statues in shrine of ru'avitau
Make sure to get steel cyclone at 71 and keep your axes and great axe capped at all times. Also try to get your sword to at least 175, for the purpose of spirits within, which is the best weapon skill to use against some HNMS.
When you change to a ninja sub, make sure to get dual viking axes (+10 acc / - 10 eva, lvl 48 to use) because this will help rampage do alot more damage. Since multi-hit weapon skills are so much more dependant on accuracy, it's nice to have.

My favorite spot at that lvl was King Ranparres Tomb.
If you enter the area from east ronfure, and go through the tunnel. Then go strait to the end, then left, up a little bit and then left and around a wall, then left again, you will see a solid concrete floor. Put your cursor on it, and enter. You will be in a tunnel, with a bunch of bats. I loved this place, for 51-54 or so (51 might be a little low i cant remeber), and the best part is the zone is right behind you, and when you zone you dont loose your TP.
Try it out, i hated kuftal.
