Beastmasters as well as being able to solo, can join conventional parties by filling the role of damage dealer and puller. At level 23 and above, the Beastmaster will have the job ability Call Beast, so allowing them to join a party at any location and still have a pet. However a locally charmed pet with a DC or EM con will tend to deal more damage than a jug pet. This document exists to list camps where a typical exp party can fight mobs, and a Beastmaster as part of that party can charm local fauna.

Levels	Area	Pets	Additional Notes
10-20	Valkurm Dunes	12-15 Sand Bats - Aggro 12-15 Night Bats (only spawn at night time) 15-18 Hill Lizard 15-18 Sand Hare 17-20 Star Bat 18-22 Snipper 20-23 Damselfly 20-22 Giant Bat - Aggro	At this low level there is stastically little difference between a BST/WAR and a WAR, so some find it acceptable to not use any pet, although practicing pet control skills will help you later.
10-20	Buburimu Peninsula	15-18 Sylvestre 15-18 Mighty Rarab 18-22 Snipper 20-23 Bull Dhalmel 20-23 Carnivorous Crawler 20-23 Zu

19-21	Sauromugue Champaign against Diving Beetles	20-23 Midnight Wings (only spawn at night time)	Although the bats only spawn at night time, they will not despawn if they uncharm (they will be busy attacking you), be sure to bring pet food to keep them alive during the day.
19-25	Qufim	25-27 Seeker Bats 25-29 Clipper 25-27 Dark Bats (only spawn at night time)	Almost not worth listing here, you only get access to local pets at the level everyone else is rushing off to Kazham.
20-27	Batallia Downs	20-24 Stalking Sapling 22-26 May Fly 23-25 Clipper 25-28 Ba
20-23	Korroloka Tunnel against Land Worms	22-26 Seeker Bats 23-27 Jelly - Aggro	The Jellies, as a Slime-type are very hard to charm, consider Familiaring an EM.
24-26	Korroloka Tunnel against Clippers	22-26 Seeker Bats 23-27 Jelly - Aggro	The Jellies, as a Slime-type are very hard to charm, consider Familiaring an EM. Also be weary of Combats linking with your pet bats when you lose charm.
23-25	Lower Delkfutt Tower	25-27 Seeker Bats - Aggro	The bats tend to be found near giants (sight aggro), so watch out for aggro when charming them.
28-32	Yuhtunga Jungle at the zoneline to Sea Serpent Grotto	30-33 Yuhtunga Mandragora 32-35 Ivory Lizard	Unlike the rest of the jungles, this area is rarely crowded, and a good alternative to the trains of Garlaige Citadel.
31-33	Sauromugue Champaign against Evil Weapons	28-32 Sabertooth Tiger - Aggro 28-32 Sauromugue Skink - Aggro 30-34 Champaign Coeurl - Aggro	The Sauromugue Skinks are Raptors and so are hard to charm.
31-35	Eastern Altepa Desert	30-34 Giant Spider
31-33	Rolanberry Fields against Evil Weapons	25-28 Berry Grub	The berry grubs are far from the ideal EM level, but are arguably preferable over a jug pet.

39-42	Yhoator Jungle at the Teleport-Yhoat crystal	36-39 White Lizard 37-40 Yhoator Wasp 40-44 Young Opo-opo	The Young Opo-opos are difficult to charm.
39-42	Eastern Altepa Desert	36-40 Sand Beetle 39-44 Desert Dhalmel 42-46 Sabotender - Aggro	The Desert Dhalmels have a special move called Healing Breeze which is in effect a Curaga spell cast on all party members within the AoE. This can be a great aid to your party. The Sabotenders have a devastating special move called 1,000 Needles. This can be very effective against your prey, but also lethal to your party if you fail to charm when it has TP. The danger is amplified by their Charm resistance.
40-45	Crawlers' Nest	40-42 Death Jacket 40-44 Worker Crawler 41-43 Maze Lizard 42-44 Caveberry 45-47 Nest Beetle 45-47 Killer Mushroom 45-47 Doom Scorpion - Aggro

56-62	Gustav Tunnel	45-48 Labyrinth Leech	The available pets are all at least 7 levels below you, the Labyrinth Leech's TP attacks may help make up for its low level. Bringing jug pets would be advisable.

Blubber Eyes, as a Hecteyes will cast Black Mage spells if given the Sic command with TP below 100% Mousse, as a Slime is hard to charm, but will perform admirably once charmed. A Light Staff (or Apollo's Staff) is recommended for best charming results. Not all of these pets are available behind the ornamental door, so beastcoins should be brought to open the other doors and allow access to the pets.
60-62	Upper Delkfutt Tower on the stairs leading to the 12th floor	62-64 Incubus Bats - Aggro

The Sabotender Sediendos have a devastating special move called 1,000 Needles. This can be very effective against your prey, but also lethal to your party if you fail to charm when it has TP. The danger is amplified by Sabotenders being hard to charm. The Deinonychus are Raptors and so are hard to charm.
