Is this a good spot to farm thunder elementals, i killed one once but no luck when i returned to do a farming session, i did get a few beehive chips though ^^ my main is blm25/whm11.
Buy the map at selbina, the very most north npc in the city, and a word of advice buy every freaking map you see avalible for sale.
its not a bad spot the best one ive found actually but the weather patterns in konschtat are too difficult to know wen to go unless u plan on makin regular trips to selby. if ur gunna farm anything there id say go for beehive chips their easier to get and sell for a hell of a lot more on remora server at least

It's LVL is random. You can only trade the ??? 6 things in one Game day. And the ??? likes to move around the Crag every game hour or so.. For me it always comes out of his "Hole" on the 2nd Game Day. I know its Random in LVL becasue I was a LVL 70 PLD when I poped it and I powned it. As for what to give it to pop... Junk seems to work... Always Drops one or two Gold Beastcoins.. and a few K in gil.
me and a friend on odin server found that nm by pure luck we were on way to baskot to do mission 2-3 and my friend yelled nm i asked where he gave pos and our group turned and fought him my mnk/war and his war killed him before the others got off there chocobos we got the drop to the high lv with use said it was a new nm but the drop is pretty good for me a newbie good hunting all u guys out there nms must die
There is a new monster out now in the highlands. I can confirm this cause i just killed it. It's name is Bendigeit Vran and it droped a Rogetsurin(lv 15 throwing weapon for thf/nin). It's location was the top right corner of E-9. was this put in with the new update or what? i wasn't able to get a picture cause i was to busy worring about it killing me since i knew nothing about it. It was a shodow creature and dressed in i think sam armor. If anyone else has seen this monster i would like to here about it. I am Nightshadow on Kujata server.
It takes crystals for sure. I always toss in junk like yag feathers as well. I never got it to pop on first try, and it refuses anything you try to give it a second time. The object is to lure the NM gob out of it's hole. Last time i saw it i had a lvl 30 trade the second set of crystals and it popped. dropped 2 gold beast coins (13k each fenrir) and 5k gil. This NM is rumored to be as strong as the person who pops it, it was popped by a 30ish rdm and swiftly owned by my 59whm/29blm at the time.
Is there an npc on this map? Or is there an npc in a neighboring map? Just wondering cause its a good place to level bst at 12 and i die a lot, i don't want to run from bastok.

It appears for the quest given to you by the moogles near the chocobo place where you have to find a certain amount of cards and trade them to the moogle and he gives a you a special belt or a special medal (its at least a moogle for bastok)
does anyone have details on the wayward worm? I unearthed it twice from the overturned soil points. Both times it cast bind successfully and disappeared. I wasn't able to target it for attack either time.
can anyone tell me what the cards found in the overturned soil are for? so far I've found a Benten Card and 3 Daikoku Cards, though they're all R/E and I was unable to hold the extra Dai's.
Hey guys...first time out of Bastok...sadly...traveling from North Gustaberg through the Highlands to the Valkurm Dunes. Got killed yesterday on the way...heard there might be a key for a gate when I actually make it? Anyone know about this key? Bastok to Valkurm Dunes...need some help here. THANKS!
just a heads up all at lvl 24 being in a pt on quifim island is the worst, u cant solo anything and the exp in a pt sux really bad. get the treasure keys so you can get to kazham as soon as possible

From what I've read, it should be L-7. I'm having the same problem, though. Can't figure out why it won't let me in... Can someone tell us where it is if not there?

Okay, after running around abit, I discovered it IS L-7. I think both of us got confused with D-7, where the cave to nowhere is. On the other side of the map is L-7 and there is actual mine'like stuff strewn about so it looks right. Thanx to Rhomber and Victoriousflame on Alexander for helping out. If you run into a cave that doesn't go anywhere, triple check the map.

Would it be feasible for, say, a 15 MNK to solo his way to 20 here? I've been wating in Valkurm for the past hour and a half without an invite from a party that stayed together for more than 2 minutes. And I check to see if there are any WHMs or BLMs that are lfg, but there were seriously none. I just need to get this to 20, and then I'll take up WAR and eventually take up PLD. So for now, so I'm not gimped, I'd like to level MNK so that it's leveled for when I start to level up WAR.
But could I solo in Konschtat? I have WHM leveled so would that help if I sub it, that way I can use Cure and Protect, and what ever other spells are available?
You certainly can. I soloed my Nin from lvl 15 - 20 because I hated the Dunes so much. You can kill mist lizards and gobs in Konshtat to lvl 18. Then from lvl 18 - 20, head to Dangruf and kill tier 2 gobs.

if you hunt the worms over by the entrance to gusgen mines at K-7 to L-7 it should be pretty decent solo experience from lvl 9-12, just watch out for ghosts and quadavs...
the mobs in the highlands that are most deadly to the lower levels are:
Earth Elementals (when it's dust storms) Thunder Elementals (when it's thunderstorms) Tremor Rams Steelfleece (badass sob that won't hesitate to obliterate you in a matter of milliseconds)
Tremor Rams are safe to take at level 30+ The new mob is a goblin archaeologist - its strength may vary from 40-50 depending on your level - Trade clusters one every hour until he gets out of ground. After that FUN! One nm in Highlands is a Rampaging ram who i suggest don't solo until lvl 50
Any advice on what to hunt here for levelling? Something that regularly spawns in a predictable area, so that you can set up camp and get some good EXP chains going?
I'm thinking of something like the Thick Shells in La Thein, and the Dhalmels in Tahrongi. This is my first Bastok character, so I don't know what the local equivalent is.
Aroudn the crag i think around I-6 and I-7 is a ??? that MOVES. ???:Gimme verything in your bag I ende dup giving a earth crystal to test.. also only thing i had Then ???: Gimme more! Then it refused anything else i tried.. besides crystals which i dont have on me now.. anyone know what this is for and or what to do. No one who has passed by know what it is not even high levels oddly. Are these people just not exploring or is it that new.
It's a new thing that came with that Feb 26 Patch, I think. It will only accept an item once a game day (About One Earth Hour). I'm unsure what it is for, but I know that there are more of them, one of them being in the Crag of Holla or something. (I got the last one off of another website, so i'm not sure if the info is correct).
Isn't the writing from the famous explorer? If so u have to get that quest from a man in Selbina, the quest is called "An Explorers Footsteps". U get it from the mayor. For more info on the quest check the quest section.
Im a level 11 monk and this is perfect solo country for me, good range of monsters and nice scenery, bit of a trek from bastok though, but with the home point IM guard in ngustaberg its not too far away. Nice scenery. Please dont feed the animals ! =P
Perpetually windy, the Konschtat Highlands were a natural location for the many windmills that dot its western landscape. Also of interest is the massive Crag of Dem that looms over the hilly region.
A fair variety of monstrous wildlife and Beastmen populate the Highlands, from the simple Rock Eaters found near North Gustaberg to the humongous Steelfleece Baldarich, an immense ram of extraordinary power.
This zone acts primarily as a crossroads, linked to Bastok via the Gustaberg path, to Jeuno far past the Pashhow Marshlands, and to Selbina through the Valkurm Dunes. The entrance to the haunted Gusgen Mines can also be found on the east side of the zone, though along the way there are some difficult enemies that may be encountered, such as Ghosts, Weapons, and in the right weather, Elementals.
Ghosts are particularly fond of lurking around the region near Gusgen Mines at night, approach the area with great care, and if you are planning on a sheep-hunting expedition, it might be wise to use the western exit from the pass on the Bastok side.
Just to be safe.
The ghosts do NOT operate alone, I've seen groups of three or four east of Dem close enough together that if one aggros they all will.
I found this secret spot at the far west part of the map (west from Crag of Dem) where there is an inlet and then it kinda forms into a cave as you get near the end of it, and there should be a ghost guarding it or something, after I beated the ghost and went deeper (it's not really a cave) you would see that you can click or target something on the ground named "???". If anyone finds out what it is that'd be cool.
Exactly. It is for the Samurai flag quest. Trading the lump of steel given to you by one of the sudents in Norg to the ??? will summon the Bomb Forger. Need to be in a party of about 4-5 lv 30+ to beat it i would guess-timate. You'll have to beat it each once in order to all get the bomb steel though. Check the Samurai flag quest section for full details.
Watch out for Earth Elementals, at least those of us below 15th. One appeared near the windmills and owned my party. It looks like a small group of rocks floating around a brown crystal. Nasty fellow.
Watch OUT for Tremor Ram. He isn't happy to just hang out around the Crag. He is mobile, highly so, you can expect to see him just about anywhere north of the Crag, all the way to the entrance to the Dunes (and, yes, the signposts for the latest in the 'Mommy' quests).
My party would have gotten wasted yesterday if not for a small god of a samurai who stepped up and took him down.
Theres some pretty tough monsters on the highlands sometimes, i saw one called steelfleece it took up half the screen! I checked it and it said strength impossible to guage. looked like a super humungous tremor ram. didnt fight it though im only lvl 13 BLM.
Huh,iv never seen this Humongous Tremor Ram before. I had a friend playing the game and tell me about how it took up almost the entire screen. Hehe ofcourse i didnt beileve him much. But now that youve seen it ill have to look up on it
Well, last night, me and 2 of my friends decided to check up on Crag Dem. And then we decided to wax some mad sheep's. We had a few kills then all of a sudden, we saw this HUGE mob. At first 1 of my friends thought it was a Bull, but when we targeted it, it said that it's a tremor ram. Well, out of my curiosity, I went a few steps closer to take a pic, after I did, I laughed and said what a huge mofo.
As we were looking at the mob, it began to walk. And while it was walking, it was causing the ground to shake (hence the name tremor ram), every step it took, it was shaking the area we were in. Then all of a sudden, it attacked my other friend. It was both funny and crazy cause it hit him for 67 (he was only level 11) and he got waxed in 2 hits :(. Anyway, I just wanted to share that crazy ass exp that me and my friends had last night hehe. So pretty much be on the lookout for that Tremor ram, unless you guys can take him.

I'm thinking the crag of Dem is a boss battle....So U probably have to be a certain level and in a party to get inside. I don't know for sure yet, so thats my guess. If anybody can verify would be very helpful.
The Crags are places that white mages can teleport to. You must have a crystal from a crag to be able to be teleported by a whm to that specific crag. There are 6 total places to teleport to I believe.
I got a dem crystal from one of the telepoints but for the life of me i can't figure how to get inside that buliding or if even can. I was thinking that you have to take the dem crystal to someone maybe and then you'll have access to the inside. I dont know thats just a guess. Anybody know anything more about the Crag of Dem?
There's a mission called 'Crystal Line' that starts w/ Cid in Bastok Market/Metalworks area.. you can use Trade to place a crystal on a telepoint, which 'drains' it, then take that back to Cid... I'm going to attempt this solo at level 11 lol - wish me luck - where are the telepoints in relation to the Crag?
Thanks in advance
