Is this area a CoP area? Please let me know.

I went to do bard quest tocay and i wanted to blood port back to jeuno when i found reuned stone; but befor i did i found the zone lol
i got stone, and though "hmmm i go kill my self there cuz i brought sam lv l5 just so i can die fast and save exp, i go in there and i end up runing around the entier time think mobs would agro me XD so i just look at stuuf and took pictures; this could be some sort of a relly fun LS event planed hmmmm

I was in Mhaura doing quests today and I decided to go do some exploring - by myself 37 Rdm - to kill some time.. so I ask my LS how to get to Bibiki Bay. Armed with the info I need, so off I trot..

Firstly I zoned and found a Coastal Rabab or some other type of evil bunny.. and it reads EP+ so I think 'Why not give it a try'. All I can say is thank you to all the gods in existance that I was still close to the zone.

Note to self and all others - these bunnies are not nice and DONT wana play..

Any way so after I zoned with only 25HP and rested, I thought I'd push my luck and go for another look.. the first rabab I checked read as EM++ so I put my head down and keep on trotting. Next I see the Coastal Dhalmels - didnt even bother checking these.. I was distracted by the creepy crawly thing I spyed moving around their legs..the Efts.. o.o

Cos I had never seen one before and had no idea what it would aggro to, I frose, and as fast as my little fingers could move I asked my LS. None of which had any idea. >.<

Well after one hopped right up to me and kept moving past without any sign of wanting to kill me, I figured I was safe and headed for Sunshine Docks. Now there are Efts crawling around this place EVERYWHERE...

Anyways I spoke to the lady at the shop/stall and the shop was closed and I kept thinking what a waste of time it was coming here, when I spot the Manaclipper docking.. so I trotted over and spoke to the lady at the dock and purchased me a multipass - 500g - and jump on board.

I had no idea where I was headed but I figured anywhere had to be better than standing around with those efts. So off we sailed, first we went to Dhalmel Rock - hmmm a rock shaped like Dhalmel legs o.o - second we went to the Purgonorgo Isle - this place was very cool - and third we went out to the reef thing - not much from above but its pretty cool if you shift the camera angle.

Purgonorgo Isle had to be my fav place of all three - i'm actually trying to see if i can organise my in-game wedding here - as there's not many people here, other than the NPCs I only ran into 3 others. And the landscape is spectacular.. even if all the mobs here checked at IT+++ or VT++.

I explored the whole Isle and found giant shellfish type things, monkeys, evil looking mandy things and toucans. The best thing was that I didnt need to use Protect, Shell, Sneak or Invis, even when I spotted the 2 Kraken or the Vicious Clots.

But one question I have is what is the
???Warmachine for? I didnt dare go near it incase it aggroed me. But I am curious to know.

Needless to say I am now 1/1 in Bibiki Bay.

Hope yall dont rate me down for this but i was told something a long time ago about the way monsters con. I was told that upto level 10 mob cons are on a you vs. it system. But after 10 the con of a mob is how it would be to a pt of your level. If im wrong thats cool. Just trying to throw a suggestion out there.

wow....last night, with the following setup, 61-63 pt (3x rng, 1x nin, 1x brd, 1x whm), killing dhamels, we were gettign more than 350exp per kill. On a chain 3, we got 390 exp!

SE kinda screwed up when they made the Hobgoblins here.

They made them very high level, but forgot to make them difficult to kill. Very easy xp here. Can get chain 5 with a mediocre party simply because no one taught hobgoblins how to hold bombs correctly.

How do I get in here? I installed the expansion and registered the expanded services, and it's marked on my map in the lower left corner of Buburimu Penn. But when I go there, there's no way in, just a solid rock. Please help me... ;>.<;

Is there a cutscene in Bibiki Bay, like there was for Lower Delkfutt tower. My friend said there was, and it was better than the one at the Tower, so I just wanted to see it...and I thought it'd happen when I entered, like the Tower. But nothing. Anything special I gotta do?

urggggh, decided to run around here last night.. Everything was too weak to be worthwhile, or so I though.. Just bepoppin around, see a gob ahead, thinking eh, no biggy, didn't think to check it.. WHACK!! Hobgoblin Martialist hit's Kalia for 330 points of damage, Hobgoblin Martialist hit's Kalia for 360 points of Damage... Kalia was defeated by the Hobgoblin Martialist....

While he was slaughtering me I checked him, IT++.. Hmmm from to weak to be worthwhile to IT++ I didn't like that. So friend who was with me casted raise and ran away from me... I think I'm safe for a milli second and cast raise, soon as I clicked yes the jerkface turned around... Hobgoblin Martialist hits Kalia for 250 points of damage, Kalia was Defeated by the Hobgoblin Martialist.... SNORK!!!!!!!!!!!

Raise again, waited, raised and friend invised me and I ran... LMFAO

We explored more with sneak and invis on this time around, and didn't see anything special, I don't think i explored every nook and cranny, but I got pretty close. THe boat was cool I only took it once, I will be going back.. But If I die again I delevel =/ 457 into level 51 now...

I was expecting to see a bit more in the new areas then I did.. But I'm still having fun anyways =0)

he island was kinda boring, everything Too Weak to my 50RDM, with the odd EP here and there, not much though. Those things on the beach were annoying though, that bury themselves to Regen HP, and pretty much temporarily cast Protect and Shell 10 on themselves, lol. Found a ??? in the center of the map on the island, not sure what it is for, and found an NPC ???Warhamme. No iea what this is for either.

Hey, I went to the south-west area of this map and mobs are showing 'even match' to 'very tough' to me at lvl 74...

scaaary

Does anyone know if this area is good for any kind of fishing whatsoever?

Yes there are mobs in the "town" if you want to call it that. It isnt really a town, but it is basically a lot of mobs...Marine Dhalmels (level 35-40ish probably), Efts (same level) and some rarabs. There is a dock there with a man standing there selling tickets for the Manaclipper boat for 80 gil a piece. We went out to one of the islands (There are 3 and it is on a rotation as to where the boat goes) and once we got to the island it is about a 30 minute wait for the boat to come back. You can go clamming here for 500 gil a bucket, which will break if you fill it up too full and there are a few clamming areas on the beaches here. You can clam in the same area more than once and the clamming areas never go away and never move. The mobs here were Easy Prey (a few too weaks) for my level 50 Paladin and NOTHING aggroes over there. I also would not recommend fighting the green slug looking things and to stay FAR away from anybody fighting them. I think they are called Stagmites or something like that... I cannot remember. Anyway, I was with a level 50 Ranger, 62 BLM and we took one on that spawned on the boat over there well, it gave us a run for the money and luckily there was a high level WHM there. This thing has the worst poison I have ever experienced and his poison attack is a area attack. It drained like 20 hp per click and it clicked often.. ALSO to make matters worse, it has automatic life regeneration and it regens fast. luckily these things do not aggro, but stay away if somebody is fighting them.. I got poisoned twice just walked by one. Also, there are the black Mandragoras over here (like in the BCNM 40) which are pretty easy, pugils and toucans (birds) and slimes. Just so you know.. the drops here suck and I was unable to get a single thing to drop except a lousy bird egg and that was it in 2 hours of killing over here. Also, my fishing skill is only level 9, but I was only able to fish out Bastore Sardines, Cobalt Jellyfish and Quus. Also, you can go clamming here. It costs 500 gil to clam and he gives you a bucket that you can fill up. You can put about 5-8 things in the bucket before it breaks and if it breaks you lose everything and piss the guy off that gives it too you pretty bad.. lol. Clamming spots can be found on any of the beaches (usually 2 per beach) and they never move, so you can go back to them over and over, but there is a delay between how often you can clam in an area. Also, more than one person can use a clamming area as it never goes away and never moves. I was able to dig up pebbles, Bibiki Slugs, and Jacnives... The only bad thing is that your clamming kit is a key item and you cannot throw things back that you dont want, so you have to go back to the guy that gave you the bucket and turn it in and he takes the bucket and gives you the contents.. Then, if you want to do more clamming, you have to pay another 500gil to do it. It can get expensive and so far on my server only 3 have sold of the bibiki slugs for 500gil and a few Jacnives for 300gil. By the way, eft skin goes for a lot of money on my server (like 3k a piece) but they just dont seem to like dropping them. Good luck and have fun in this area and post anything you find. Also, if anybody is able to find out what is up with the NPC "??? Warmachine" on the back of the island that only goes "<clunk, clunk>" when you click on it, post it. It looks pretty scary but I am sure it is some kind of quest.

Okay, I heard that some of the mobs are somewhat in the town a bit. Is this true? I havn't had time to check it out yet, but I will this afternoon, ^^. I was just wondering, so I'll know whether to keep my guard up or not, ^^.

I was origally told by one of my friends that Bibiki Bay was supposed to be an area around the same level as Qufim. I was totally psyched because I despise Qufim and I want someone just as good to level in. But after reading a few posts here, it doesn't look like that's the case. Can anyone confirm that ther are mobs that level 20-25 can level off of in relative safety?

I got to wander around this zone for about 15 minutes on Saturday night, during the Square Enix release party in Milpitas.

This zone connects also to the "Manaclipper" zone, which is the catamaran boat you've seen in the pictures. I'm guessing that Bibiki Bay is divided into two sections, separated by water. The Manaclipper takes you from one section to the other.

Mobs I saw and fought here include Marine Dhalmels, Goblin Pathfinders, Acrophies, black Mandragoras orf some sort, squiddy things with shells, birds and rarabs. They were all TWW for the level 60 characters we got to play.
