Since Beastmasters can solo throughout their entire career, the question that is most often asked is "Where can I go at level X". This document is here to try and answer that question.

17-20 Jugner Forest

Land Pugil
Snipper

Land Pugil
Snipper

Jugner Funguar

Jugner Funguar

Goblins (Tier 3)

Charm a leech and primarily kill funguars along the main road. Leeches are charm-resistant, but have incredibly high longevity. Note: At 19, most of the pets will be Tough. It may be better to wait until 20, or even 21.

Land Worm
Wight

You can stay in the first clearing, and on the northeast side. One Clipper can not two worms. Also, watch for aggro from Giants, Evil Weapons, and Wights (night only). You may stall out the wights by tossing bats at them, and it is a waste to charm a T bat.
25-28 Rolanberry Fields

Berry Grub
Death Wasp

Berry Grub
Death Wasp
Quadav (Tier 3)
Goblin's Bee
Goblins (Tier 3)
Moon Bat

You can stay (F-7).

This is a decent camp, but really easy to get fatal hate from Goblins or Morbol leaving you in the middle of nowhere, and there is a long run to zone to Lower Jeuno. XP with care, or stick to Qufim Island.

26-32 Maze of Shakhrami

Ancient Bat 26-29
Caterchipillar 29-31

Goblin's Bat 24-26
Caterchipillar 29-31
Goblin Pathfinder 31-34
Goblin Furrier 31-34
Goblin Shaman 31-34

Enter from Buburimu Peninsula @ F-6 - you need to approach from the East which will bring you into the Maze of Shakhrami @ M-10 and almost at camp! Initially, camp at the zone till you get the hang of it, then move down to the first large room (M-8 where the gobs are) and have at it from the tunnel. There is a second tunnel to your left with a couple more bats.

This is an all-aggro camp - even the pets aggro and link so take care!

27-31 Qufim Island

Greater Pugil
Glow Bat
Clipper
Dark Bats
Seeker Bats
Ancient Bat

Wight
Gigas

It will be mostly Pugil on Gigas or Bat on Wight action. Do not melee the Wights.


Levels 31-40

Levels Area Pets Prey Additional Info
30-33 Yuhtunga Jungle

Yuhtunga Mandragora

Yuhtunga Mandragora
Ivory Lizard
Goblin Smithy
Goblin Furrier
Death Jacket

Mandragora make great pets at any level. Mandy vs. Mandy will lead to some longer fights but with /whm help a DC mandy can take out a EM/T with little trouble. Watch out for Mandy sleepga; your pet will be dead before you wake up if solo. Dropped Goblin Bombs and Final Sting make those harder fights worth their exp chains. Exp pts can make these camps a tough fight for pets/prey. Nice place to duo bst party in lower 30's. Opo-opo's are possible but usually more trouble than they are worth in exp.
30-33 Carpenters' Landing

Sabertooth Tiger
Spinous Pugil

Birdtrap
Spunkie

Stay out near the docks of South Landing. Birdtraps don't aggro or link, so pick your target carefully. Save Even Match pets for Spunkies. Beware of the seasonal Water Elemental.
32-34 Qufim Island

Acrophies

Gigas
Dancing Weapon

Leeches are your best friend.
32-34 Eastern Altepa Desert

Giant Spider

Sand Beetle

Start near Korroloka Tunnel entrance and move out from there slowly. No aggro from beetles, spiders or dhalmels.
33-37 Gusgen Mines

Gallinipper
Myconid

Feu Follet

Go here and fight Feu Follet. These are bombs and use self-destruct. Stand clear and don't worry about pet being alive at end of fight. Dangerous place to XP but 200+ chains are the reward. Also beware of the NM Juggler Hecatomb that spawns in the room as well as Thunder and Earth elementals; extra caution if subbing White Mage.
34-36 Lufaise Meadows

Acrophies
Tavnazian Sheep
Miner Bee

Tier 4 Orcs
By the lake. Beware of Thunder Elemental pops. Pets do not aggro. The Bugards also make decent prey, make sure to let the sheep keep hate, will require a pet swap. All pets will check Tough at level 33, best to start this camp at level 34.
34-36 Bibiki Bay

Eft
Island Rarab
Marine Dhalmel

Eft
Island Rarab
Marine Dhalmel
Goblins (Tier 4)

Great place to level if you don't like the aggro in Gusgen. 34 will be on the docks, Eft vs. Eft. Once you have leave at level 35, more of the wildlife will be EM to you. None of your pets aggro, but they do link, so have fun levelling off the gobbies and wildlife. If in a duo you can do Ravens.
36-40 Sea Serpent Grotto

Royal Leech
Undead Bats
Ironshell

Undead Bats
Spring Sahagin
Lake Sahagin
Pond Sahagin
Ironshell
Ghast

Leeches are amazing lil' creatures. One should be enough per fight. A DC leech will tear apart T Undead Bats with ease. At level 36-37, stick to leeches, bats and Sahagins. 38-40 stay around (F-7) and fight Ghast with the large supply of Royal Leech! Oozes are even match starting at 39 but harder to charm. Pet swaps are often required at the F-7 camp. *Note: Depending on the RMT activity on your server the leeches may be farmed heavily making for a shortage of pets when fighting Ghasts.
39-41 Yhoator Jungle

Yhoator Wasp

Goblin Reaper
Goblin Digger

Camp at (H-8) on the west side of the circular track with the north-south slice through the middle. This is one of those camps that is a bit rough to start off in. Basic tactic is to throw wasps at the goblins until they die or blow up. It will take multiple wasps per goblin. You'll mostly be fighting the Goblin Reapers here. There are Dark Knight type mobs, so watch out for the usual stuff and Absorb-CHR. Don't engage and use Blink or Utsusemi as often as you can. Ninja sub probably better here, but I did it with White Mage sub. Don't fall off the left side of the circular track, there is a drop down at the southern end that leads to the other side. I avoided the other side due to the BST type goblin with bee pet.
40-43 Yuhtunga Jungle

Soldier Crawler

Goblin Poacher
Goblin Robber
Goblin Reaper

Two locations, one by the Southeast corner (H-11/I-11) zone to Yhoator Jungle and one in the open areas on the west side. Great XP. For the best xp stick to killing poachers, it will take 1 em crawler to take out a tough to VT poacher. The Robber and Reaper hit much harder so it will take atleast 2 pets to defeat. The area close to zone has a bomb spawn, this bomb will chew throu dc-em crawlers, best bet is to kill the gobs then take out the bomb, since you will need to swap pets atleast 2 times.


Levels 41-50

Levels Area Pets Prey Additional Info
41-43 Crawler's Nest

Death Jacket
Worker Crawler
Maze Lizard

Caveberry
Worker Crawler

Caveberries do link on sound, but two of the pets you can use have natural plantoid Killer. Mayfly and Diremite familiar pets also work great. If Worker Crawler is your prey make sure to use lizard pets. Let pets do the dirty work, saplings got an AOE sleep move. Some of the pets are even match starting at 40 but most of them will be Tough, so best to wait till 41.
41-43 Garlaige Citadel

Wingrats
Siege Bat
Borer Beetle

Siege Bat
Fallen Evacuee
Puroboros
Clockwork Pod
Borer Beetle

Very nice EXP, be careful as Puroburos will aggro magic, even if you're not in the room, and Fallen Evacuees will aggro HP just as easily. Safer to use bats as pets against bombs, beetles, and undead. If you try to fight bats vers bats you will stand a far higher chance of a link and death. And the bats make very good pets.
41-45 Western Altepa Desert

Desert Spider
Desert Dhalmel

Desert Spider
Desert Worm
Desert Dhalmel
Antican Essedarius

Fight outside the Rabao zone (K-5)
41-43 fight spiders vs. spiders and worms with a few aniticans here and there.
43-45 same list but add Dhalmels to your target list.
Good area for /WHM since you have sneak at this level and most mobs aggro to sound.

45-47 Yhoator Jungle

Young Opo-opo
Worker Crawler

Master Coeurl
Goblin Poacher
Goblin Robber
Goblin Reaper

By the SW zone to Yuhtunga Jungle. More great gobbie XP. Be careful if charming Young Opo-Opo, they are strong and are fairly hard to charm. The best camp seems to be at F-10, there are two Young Opo-Opo, as well as some crawlers behind that camp. E-11 is where the zone is, so if you get in trouble you know where to run. Also beware of the Anemone, he roams near that camp, so prob best to bring some silent pots (unless you're subbing /whm or /rdm) and have your pet pull.
46-49 Gustav Tunnel

Labyrinth Leech
Makara
Labyrinth Lizard
Hell Bat
Greater Gaylas
Hawker

Goblin Poacher
Goblin Robber
Goblin Reaper
Labyrinth Leech
Makara
Labyrinth Lizard
Hell Bat
Greater Gaylas
Goblin's Leech

Go to the large room where Bune spawns. When he is not around the area is great. In levels 48 to 49, you will most likely be fighting your way through decent challenges and even matches. Though there are few toughs rarely it's still very worth it and a lot easier then heading to Crawler's Nest or Labyrinth of Onzozo. This area can be good throu lvl 52 if you either grind throu DC mobs or start fighting the Goblin's Leech from the higher tier goblins. This can be very dangerous so be sure to keep reraise up when doing this. Make sure the goblin shepard is facing away from you and the leech before pulling it. Also a ranged weapon will make this much easier and safer.
48-50 Labyrinth of Onzozo

Labyrinth Leech

Cockatrice
Goblin Poacher
Goblin Robber
Goblin Reaper

Go to the passageway just past the first room when entering from Buburimu Peninsula. Watch out for Air Elemental. This area is more for the partying BST where as soloing can almost gaurentee a death at one point. Many goblins are crowded together in the room mentioned above so it's smart to have someone to watch your back.
49-54 Crawlers' Nest

Labyrinth Lizard
Soldier Crawler
Witch Hazel(50+)
Exoray(52+)
Blazer Beetle(52+)

Labyrinth Lizard
Exoray
Blazer Beetle
Hornfly
Rumble Crawler
(52+)

Go to the two rooms at H/I-8 and H-7 on this map. Lizards link and aggro and detect by sound. Pulling to the path connecting the two rooms is recommended. This place is aggravating when trying to pull so be very careful. Also this is a very difficult place to camp at level 49 because almost everything cons Tough at this camp. There is also the basement of Crawler's Nest where the Soldier Crawler is the perfect pet. Here you fight Exoray and Blazer Beetle. You should always have a Reraise item on you and at least two pets somewhere around you to use against these two. However, with the Hornfly, you just have to watch for aggro but other then that pretty good XP and a good spot to duo as well.


Levels 51-60

Levels Area Pets Prey Additional Info 50-54
51-53 Sea Serpent Grotto

Sahagin Parasite

Marsh Sahagin
Swamp Sahagin
Bog Sahagin

Behind the Mythril Beastcoin door at J-5. Beware Hydro Shot - it resets hate. Convert the Sahagin Parasite to DC or EM before you start. 1 DC Sahagin Parasite will easily take out em or tough Sahagin. Watch out for Rock Crab, at lvl52 they are VT and require 2 Sahagin Parasite to defeat them
53-55 Bostaunieux Oubliette

Dark Aspic

Werebat

(F-10) on the map is a safe camp, two Dark Aspics spawn, as well as Werebats. The Dark Aspic does not despawn so keep the Dark Aspic near the second corner but not there, maybe in the middle away from the other Dark Aspic; so if you're fighting with your pet, and your prey is in low health, move away from the charmed Dark Aspic, near the haunt in the second corner not close, and leave. Good luck and safe hunting!

Note: Werebats do not link just aggro. Also jellies tend to discharm when fighting a VT, and hard to re-charm again, though with both Beast Gaiters and Beast Gloves, as well as the Charm boost from the Light Staff or Apollo's Staff, it tends to work out perfectly. Please remember to sneak up before entering.

55-58 Garlaige Citadel

Funnel Bats
Chamber Beetle

Hellmine
Chamber Beetle
Fallen Mage
Fallen Major
(57+) Magic Jug
(58+)

Camp in the basement. Send beetles or bats against the VT and IT bombs, stay back, and let them Self-Destruct. Beware, they will often to +2000 damage if they Self-Destruct early in the fight, so be sure to stay out of range. Chains into 400+ exp are very doable solo at this level.
55-58 Toraimarai Canal

Dark Aspic

Impish Bats

Pull a Dark Aspic from the lower level areas to the Windurst Walls exit.
57-58 Quicksand Caves

Helm Beetle

Antican Princeps
Antican Hastatus
Antican Signifer
Helm Beetle

There are three beetles that spawn soon as you walk into the (J-9) entrance from Western Altepa Desert. These three pets should be enough to kill all the Anticans you want, though there are a few more beetles in the large room down the ramp. Princeps can be a pain with their Cure IV spells so try to Silence them, though as BST, they are a bit resistant to the WHM subbed Enfeebling Magic. There is also the problem with Jamming Wave used by the Anticans, so bring a long plenty of Echo Drops. Most of the mobs around here range from DC to T so its not the best XP, but should hold you off for a little while if you don't have Toraimarai Canal access.
58-61 Uleguerand Range

Variable Hare

Snoll
Uleguerand Tiger
Esbat
Glacier Eater

Prey is mostly Snoll at 58. Variable Hares don't link nor aggro, and is easy to charm T's. Once you hit 59, follow the right-hand wall at the zone until you get to the first tunnel entrance. There are two rabbits here, convert them to Even Match and kill everything else that moves.
59-60 Toraimarai Canal

Impish Bats

Fleshcraver
Mindcraver

Make a zoo of Even Match Impish Bats and pull skeletons to Windurst Walls exit
60-63 Boyahda Tree

Death Cap

Bark Spider

Camp in the tunnels before the first pond. Spiders drop Boyahda Coffer Key for the map of the area. At 61 an Even Match Funguar will solo any Spider so think of this as aggressive Spider Web farming.


Levels 61-70

Levels Area Pets Prey Additional Info
61-65 Caedarva Mire

Caedarva Leech [63-65]
Treant Sapling [61-64]
Marsh Murre [64-66]

Marsh Murre [64-66]

Use Sanction with Refresh for Refresh up to 65% that stacks with Gaudy Harness.

West Nashmau exit. One leech pops very near the zone, another on the other end of the pond. Convert leeches to EM and alternate netween them. No chigoe from the zoneline to the start of the cemetary area. No aggro until the cemetary area.
61 - Use saplings to fight birds with 1 pet swap. Convert the saplings to EM.
63 - Use saplings and leeches to fight leeches and birds.
64 - Use saplings, leeches, and birds to fight birds, constant chain 4.
65 - Use leeches and birds to fight birds and imps (in the graveyard), slower exp, some birds DC.
North Nashmau exit. You can also try the camp by the large lake. There are chigoe there but they stay in very specific areas away from the lake.
East Nashmau exit. There are two more viable Leech/Sapling vs Murre/Imp camps on the eastern area of Caedarva. Source

62-64 Ifrit's Cauldron

Old Opo-opo
Volcano Wasp

Volcanic Gas

Depending on your Charm gear, opo-opo's will rock the bombs' worlds. Bring Pickaxes for the random Mining Point.
62-63 Sea Serpent Grotto

Mousse
Robber Crab

Delta Sahagin
Lagoon Sahagin
Coastal Sahagin
Shore Sahagin

Go past the Gold Beastcoin door in SSG. Hope and pray that one of the Mousse's is Decent Challenge or Even Match. Either way, bring your Light Staff and be prepared to kite the Slime when you mis-charm. Note: If the slime is NOT DC or EM, you can use a jug to pull it out of its normal radius and then /logout. It'll despawn and you have a random chance to pop a Mousse of a different level.
62-63 Wajaom Woodlands

Worker Pephredo [62-64]

Lesser Colibri [63-65]

Camp at (I-7). With Empress Band and exp bonus from Sanction with Refresh, the experience rolls in extremely fast here, chain 4 is very common. Bees are very easy to convert to EM, but they do link on sight, try to charm one that is alone on one side of the hive to prevent links. Only the soldier bees aggro. Leeches and Marids do not aggro and bee pets don't have any AOE sic moves. The Colibris don't link or aggro, making this very safe and steady exp. Finish off a Colibri with Rampage and then immediately recharm your bee to keep it from despawning. Release it near the hive and charm another EM to keep the chains going. Source
63-65 Cape Teriggan

Beach Bunny

Goblin Bandit
Goblin Alchemist
Goblin Shepherd
Goblin Mercenary

Camp a little north of the outpost. Gobbies love exploding.
65-69 Den of Rancor

Mousse
Cutlass Scorpion

Bifrons
Cave Worm
Tonberries

Follow a party or go yourself past both Granite Doors in the Temple of Uggalepih to get to the Den of Rancor. This Allakhazam thread has an in-depth guide to the camp.
66-67 Attohwa Chasm

Sand Lizard
Cutlass Scorpion

Corse
Trench Antlion
Tracker Antlion
Tomb Mage
Tomb Warrior

Corse are 66-68, but they drop Iolite for money. Camp is on the western side. Watch out for cracks in the ground: Trench Antlion love popping up and surprising you.
65-68 Wajaom Woodlands(H-11)(H-12)(H-13)

Aht Urhgan Attercop
[65-67]
(linking, non-aggro)

Puk [68-70]
(sight/sound aggro, non-linking)

At 65 throw 2 bees at spiders. Puk's have fast attack rate and often spam fairly disruptive WS moves (one is AoE Flash, another is a 4 shadow Blink - this can be taken out with Diaga).For(H-11)Camp under the south stone arch near the water.Position yourself with your back to the stone arch or wall (or at the very least not in a position to get blown into an Ameretat (Ochu-type mob) by the Puk's knockback AoE damage move. For no chance of Ameretat encounters use camp at (H-12)-(H-13) Watch out for Haunt's At night. Source
66-68 Pso'Xja

Dire Bat
Thousand Eyes
Snow Lizard

Dire Bat
Maledict Millstone
Diremite Assaulter
Snow Lizard

Enter Pso'Xja through (F-7) of Beaucedine Glacier. Cast Sneak and fall through either the (G-8) or (I-8) holes. In the (G-8) hole, charm Thousand Eyes and Dire Bats and fight Maledict Millstones and Dire Bats. In the (I-8) hole, charm Dire Bats and Snow Lizards and fight Diremite Assaulters, Dire Bats and Snow Lizards.
67-70 Uleguerand Range

Polar Hare
Succubus Bats

Nightmare Bats
Akselloak

Go to the north open part of map. Take path from eastern tunnel, invis/sneak up. Walk west past ahriman and taurus enemies. fall through hole to lower tunnel network. There are two bomb and one bat spawns to the east of the drop point. Pull Bomb or Bat back to eastern tunnel - there will be a drop off to the original eastern tunnel for you to get more pets to finish off your prey.
68-71 Bhaflau Thickets

Red Kisser
Wajaom Tiger

Colibri

The main map (from Al Zahbi or Aht Urhgan Whitegate) around the pond at G-7/G-8.

  • Use Red Kisser vs. Colibri. Even Matches can usually take out Toughs, but it's safer to pet swap or duo. Pet food combined with "Enhances Reward effect" gives leeches that extra 450hp edge needed to solo with much fewer pet swaps. Thanks to the peculiar actions of Colibri (Casting spells back at you similar to reflect), you can cast Dia with White Mage subjob to effectively Stun/Paralyze the Colibri and reduce the need for pet swaps, even when using Even Match Red Kisser against Very Tough Colibri at level 68.

Wajaom Tiger from H-7 can also be used, if neccessary, but must be charmed using Light Staff.

68-71 Bhaflau Thickets

Treant Sapling
Incubus Bats

Colibri
Olden Treant

The main map (from Al Zahbi or Aht Urhgan Whitegate) in the narrow passageway at F-6/F-7.

69-71 Ifrit's Cauldron

Nightmare Bats

Volcanic Bomb

Find your way to the part of the map that looks like a reversed capital "E". There are 4 bat spawns here and 6 bomb spawns here. Bats will be 68-72, bombs will be 71-78. Bats are very easily charmed, even as T. They also don't last very long against the bombs. By level 69 you should know this, but remember to stay clear of Self-Destruct! 15 Minute respawn timer for the bombs.
69-72 Boyahda Tree

Moss Eater
Mourioche

Elder Goobbue
Steelshell

For the best XP, fight with a trio of BSTs. You can duo here but it can be rough finishing off the mobs.
69-73 Caedarva Mire (J-8)

Wild Karakul
Oil Slick

Jnun

At levels 69-70 Wild Karakul should be your primary pets. At level 71 use the Oil Slicks. With Karakul you will need to swap once per fight, so it is best to engage with your second pet only to avoid aggro on the swap. Oil Slicks will often survive the fight. At 73 some Jnun will spawn DC, but overall the camp still offers nice XP.
