neglected weapon's. I lvled axe from 22 to 63 in 3 hrs. Was using War lvl 32 with nin sub so dual wield is a miracoulous thing here. I was wasting time chastising friend who could'nt lvl axe.

yeah does any one knwo what lv you can come here with a party of 6? cause i have been wanting too
and where do you get a map

has any one see them in the zone & where

I've farmed here before and 40+ is the best lvl to start farming here.

What to kill:
Flytraps(If you want to)
Tigers
Elements(Water spawn around the water and thunder spawn around each little section)

Its easy and fast money in the center of the map there is a place where 6 tigers spawn in a small area its very good to farm. The mushroom guys aggro so be careful.

Happy farming everyone!

logging here sucks. period.

sry about double post

For a lvl 30 pld is there anything here worth farming? I was thinking flytrap leaves but those don't stack. Any ideas, or is this just a woodworker's funland

There is a ??? around F9 of the map and I was wondering if anyone knows if this a spawn point or what this is for. Was farming in here and saw this but nothing happens if I click on it. If anyone knows if there is something to trade to it or if this is even worth fooling with any info would be appreciated.

During the updating of Feb 23, 2004 the barge schedule was revised so it will always has a departure soon after it arrives so fishers can keep taking the barge. They also sell a 10 trip ticket at for 300gil. For some arrivals the barge arrives, then goes out of service and floats away nearby for a short time, then returns to the dock for boarding. The barge runs on a 24 Vana'diel hour schedule and these times hours and minutes of the Vana'diel clock.

South Landing to Central Landing via Emfea Waterway
0:15 board
0:50 depart
4:35 arrive

Central Landing to South Landing via Newtpool
4:35 board
5:10 depart
8:55 arrive

South Landing to North Landing
9:35 board
10:10 depart

This information was collected for my Final Fantasy XI Timer for Palm available from http://doconnor.reamined.on.ca/ffxi/ Let me know if I made any mistakes.

Can someone please post the location of the NPC that sells logs and twine. Also, which entrance do I use to get to him? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Regards,

Montyman

Does any one know how to get to South Landing from Jugner Forest? Please post the entrance coordinates

how the heck do u get top the southern entrance i've been frustrated trying to get there please help!

If you go to your map while you're riding the boat, you'll see a slightly different map that gives a somewhat vague depiction of the various routes. Here's a screenshot I took of it:

http://caustin.web1000.com/screenshots/phanauet.jpg

As I understand it, the arrows depict the directions in which people are allowed to ride the boat. If that's true, I've thought it out and this is what the boat's route must be:

1.) Starting in the North Landing (from now on referred to as 'North,' as well as the other two destinations, accordingly), the boat goes to Central. As shown in the picture, people CAN ride this one.

2.) From Central, the boat goes to South. People CANNOT ride this.

3.) From South, the boat goes to Central, taking the western route. People CAN ride this.

4.) From Central, the boat goes to South. People CANNOT ride this.

5.) From South, the boat goes to Central, taking the middle route. People CAN ride this.

6.) From Central, the boat goes to North. People CANNOT ride this.

7.) From North, the boat goes to South. People CANNOT ride this.

8.) From South, the boat goes to North, along the eastern route. After this, the cycle starts over again in North.

To clarify, the boat goes like this:
1.) North >> Central
2.) Central >> South
3.) South >> Central
4.) Central >> South
5.) South >> Central
6.) Central >> North
7.) North >> South
8.) South >> North

-Steps 2 through 5 explain why the boat takes so long to come back to North (up to 30-something minutes). It's because the boat is going back and forth between Central and South to show passengers the various routes.

-Step 7 explains why, after the long wait, the following boat is for arrivals only.

Please note that the above is just a possible explanation for where the boat goes. This was the only logical path that I could come up with, but of course there's always the possibility that I screwed up somewhere, overlooked something, or simply didn't have enough info. Please don't use this to plan any important vacations!

Again, assuming the arrows on the map mean people are only allowed to travel in that direction, here are some basic rules to go by:

-If you're in the North Landing, your only choice will be to go to the Central Landing.
-If you're in the Central Landing, you will not be able to take the boat at all.
-If you're in the South Landing, you can go to any other landing (assuming you take the right boat), but you won't be able to come back.

I hope this helps. And if you see a mistake, by all means, go ahead and point it out.

Is there a way to get back to North Sandy from Carperntar's Landing. If so, can someone explain the process and everything?

Been nancing about in Carpenter's Landing for a while. In addition to the Logging Points listed at the top of this thread, there are two more points i have found at G-6 and F-7, I believe. If you could find a logging buddy to bounce the points back and forth, it could make getting Walnut, Yew, and (occassionally) Oak logs a lot easier, as opposed to Junger, where you have to walk a mile for one logging point.

Also saw Overgrown Ivy. A high lvl RDM was soloing her. Looked like the NPC at H-10 spawned her, cuz from what i could tell, the RDM talked to the NPC, then all of a sudden, Ivy popped. The NPC just told me to bugger off, or something similar. Overgrown Ivy might be a quest NM.

Edit: Oh yeah, and the mobs here vary, as mentioned at the top of the post, according to where you enter. All the mobs at the G-6-7 and G-9-10 areas are Too Weak for me (Lvl 41 Rdm). Forest tigers abound here, so if you farm fangs, this is a great place to do it.

The area at I-10 has mobs from the same families as the other areas, but they're harder (e.g., Sabertooth Tigers instead of Forest Tigers). I would guess the I-10 section is upper 40s.

I haven't been to the area on the second map, but seeing as you enter there from sandy, i'd imagine its low lvl.

I'm big into the whole looking at new places thing... I visited Bibiki the first day I got Chains and I loved it... Just last night I went to Carpenter's Landing having heard it was very romantic and stuff (I'm married in game, I took my wife there)... So we went.. it was around 15:00 in game so it was already night... I hated it. It had this greyish, bluish, murky look to it that I didn't agree with at all. We took the boat hoping it'd look better only for my expectations to never be fulfilled. We got to the other side around 01:00 ... still murky and ugly. Reminded me of a drab Jugner. Let's face it, Jugner has streams, waterfalls, and gorgeous ponds (Crystal Lake and Faerie's Lake). I was about to warp when it hit 5:00am... and daylight began to pour through the mountains.. and the fog was lifted.. and my jaw dropped. What I saw then was a spectacular view of the lake/river (which had beautiful ebbing effects paired with multilayered textures which seemed to give the lake a life of its own)... Looking closer, I could see tiny fish swimming in the water whilst in the air I could see birds flying. It was truly magnificant until the rain clouds came rolling gently in around 8:30...

My advise:
If you're going to visit this place, visit it on a clear day, or near dawn... That's just my opinion.

How do you ge tthere from San d'Oria?

was just in this place, I entered the southern entrance looking at the map. the mobs I saw are:
Diving Beetle (Beetle)
Shrieker (Fungar)
Spunkie (Bomb)
Sabertooth Tiger (Tiger)
Birdtrap (Venus Flytrap thingy)
Wight (Skeleton)
Spinous Pugil (Pugil)

NPCs:
Cofisephe (Elvaan Female, Sells Barge Tickets for 80 gil each)
Anguenet (Elvaan Male, tells you about the barge)
Lourdaude (Tonberry, when I spoke to it all it said was "...")
Chuaie (Female Elvaan, Stands on the end of the dock to tell you when the barge will arive)

I am level 37 and everything I saw was easy prey.

(edit) the Birdtrap used a special move called Gloeosuccus, it doesn't deal any damage and it give the effect of slow.

Theres an NM named Orctrap at I-9/I-10, don't know the drop. It's one of those trap type mobs.

I was so worried that Chains of Promethia would have areas mostly catered to high leveled players, but I am relieved to find that the monsters here are too weak for my lvl 40 THF.

Very nice place, it'd be a great place to fish, if I knew what levels the fish were, and what the best bait and rods to use.

What's also interesting, is at H-10, in the southern area of the Central Landing cluster of areas, is an owl that sits motionless on a very dilapitated tree standing just offshore.

The common rain showers must be perfect for fishers.

Though, I was thinking, if there are so many twisting rivers in this place, why didn't SE create a new 'canoe' or 'rowboat' feature to let you explore this extensive river system of this area?
