Kazham
Introduction
Kazham is the city before the Yuhtunga Jungle, the location that most people will use to level starting around level 24. In order to access this area, you will need to acquire a Kazham airship pass. There are a few options to acquire the pass, but only the beginner's route will be described.
Getting the Keys
The "beginner's route" is to obtain 3 chest keys from the beastmen strongholds. You will need a Giddeus Chest Key, a Ghelsba Chest Key and a Palborough Chest Key. As the monster's you'll be targetting are generally high level at around the time you can access Kazham, it's best to acquire the help of a friend from your Linkshell, or /shout for help in a nearby town (For example, in Windurst if you're trying to obtain the Giddeus chest key).
