My first Party in the Crawlers nest was great we were lvl 34-36 we had PLD, WHM, RDM, SAM, THF and me DRG. Those Worker crawlers were quite easy with rdm casting dispel when the crawler used cocoon and the whm with erase when we got slow (very bad thing for DRG were slow enough)

During my first session in the Crawlers' Nest I got in a party that expected me (the samurai) to be the main tank. I suppose that works for some people, but when that didn't work out they got mad and booted me. It's not my fault I'm not cut out to take loads of damage...

I just went here for the first time tonight, and I was surprised at how well we were doing for our level. We went in, evenly split between 31 and 32, set up camp close to the entrance, and pulled Worker Crawlers for ~200 a pop. Relatively painless, too, though I have a feeling our group was a good one. :P
Mnk/War(me), Nin/War, Rng/Nin, Brd/Whm, Whm/Blm, Blm/Whm
Reltively few mishaps, compared to what might happen at a similar level in Garliage Citadel. Went a pretty steady 2-3k an hour. If you feel so inclined, 32 seems like a fine level to start here if you know what you're doing.

I know Crawler's Nest is located in area G-11 of Rolanberry Fields, but I cannot find the actual entrance to the dungeon. What area of G-11 should I concentrate on?

Entrance to the crawlers nest is at (F-13) in Rolenberry.
Maybe this will help, its the path i took.
The numbers in parenthesis after mobs names are the levels of the mobs, not the party needed to fight them.
From level 31 (assuming you level to 31 in yhoator jungle)
I got level 32-33 in sauramunge Champaign killing evil weapons. Suprisingly easy to chain with a good pt, and manages to close that gap between the Jungle and Garlaige Citidel.
Evil Weapon (36-38)
At 33 i began partying in Garlaige, on the bats near the entrance of the zone. These will take you to 34, and adding beetles will take you to 36.
Seige bat (40-43)
Borer Beetle (41-44)
At 36 i went to crawlers nest, where we chained soldier crawlers and began doing nest beetles and soliders. The crawlers nest can sustain parties all the way to 53+ before it runs dry, but its difficult to close certain level gaps, and ill explain.
from about 35-37 worker crawlers
Worker Crawler (40-44)
37-41 nest beetles and soldier crawlers
Nest Beetle (45-47)
Soldier Crawler (47-49)
39-40 (one of the gaps i mentioned, when solider exp begins to dry up, but hornflies are still pretty tough)
40-43 hornflies, occasionally the blazer beetle to end chains.
Hornfly (50-53)
43-46 blazerbeetles and exorays
Blazer Beetle (52-54)
Exoray (51-54)
46-49 At this point you can do either:
rumble crawlers
Rumble Crawler (53-55)
Or funnel bats @ garlaige
Funnel bat (51-55)
Now at 49-50 you got options
you can do
Chamber beetles at Garlaige citidel
Chamber beetle (56-58)
or Helm beetles at Quicksand caves
Helm beetle (51-58)
(these will sustain you till 50 or so)
from 51-52 i enjoyed killing anticans at Quicksand caves.
Antican Hestatus, Princep, Signifier (52-59)
(I beleive the levels of ants are aera specific, as in 1 part of QS has lower level ants, while another part has higher level ants, where we leveled off of them, the entrance to that QS area was in western altepa, about 4 squares south of rabao or so.)
52-53 Kuftal tunnel, robber crabs, of which i do not know the exact level ranges, anyone in the pt dinging 55 will kill the exp from these. Beware, Guivre, a massivly deadly high-level wyvern NM spawns here daily, and patrols the entire tunnel untill despawn or is destroyed. zone immediatly upon sighting, can kill most ~50's in no more then 2 hits. do not hesitate, warp out, escape, run, whatever. Note: does not have truesite, cast invis before detect to be safe untill it leaves room. then sneak/invis to zone.
54+ say hello to boyhada tree, and its bark spiders and robber crabs. Thats as far as i've gotten, im at 54 right now.

Just so you'd know, level 34-36 i leveled VERY easily chaining Dhalmels and Beetles (beetles for a quick chain boost, they suck). If your PT knows what theyre doing you can do many mobs ahead of the game. I had a NIN, SMN(fenrir), MNK/thf(me), RDM, and THF. we hardly did skillchains, but if you do red lotus > viper bite > sneak attack + boost + combo ... ho ho ho >:D i hit it like 270 dmg combo, 170 dmg SC
~*that might not be the exact SC, i only remember it was a liquification i chained my combo onto.

Good post. I am a level 44 BLM/WHM and this is pretty much how I got to where I am. This is a very useful bit of knowledge.
you can actualy lvl off of antican rngs(its not the real name just look for the ants with quivers on the back) in western altepa lvls 34-38 great exp for very little work and nice drops too the dark crystals will help you get your next set of gear.

So im not to the Crawlers' Nest yet but im a 33 DRG/16SAM and reading some of the other post it doesnt really say what lvl you leave here and wher you go. Can somone help me out with this i of course dont need to know atm but it would be nice to know where i have to go after in case i need to get a map or something.
A lot of people go back to Garlaige Citadel at level 47 or 48. It is still not the best place so what i do is hang around jeuno and hope for a invite to altepa or something.

I was digging around for about an hour for a coffer for my AF (WHM) and I checked all the coffer spots, and I couldn't find one. Are the spawns of coffers random, set intervals, or do they just simply not like me?

What <pos> is the Exoray in CN?
A word to the wise. I was out trying to find a chest to use my key on.
Labyrinth Lizards aggro. My sneak dropped so I went to recast in a tunnel and bam, triple link too.
One dead 50 WHM.

Aggro. This happened to me yesterday. Sneak dropped and soldier aggroed and I hauled butt to the sack room linking 6 crawlers on the way. Whadda NOOB. Later with Sneak on I forgot about keeping Deodorize on and linked two beetles. Two deaths.
Later, having learned my lesson I had Sneak and Deodorize on and ran in front of the Blazer Beetle on accident. TAG! I was it. Horrible day too, spent all day trying to get in parties!

No enemies aggro by scent. Scent detection enemies refers to some enemies using scent to follow your "trail" even after you have left the area (for isntance if you bind or sleep them they will still pick up your scent). Beetles aggro on sight, but it can be hard in a dark cave to tell which end is the head >.<
Wha...double post. Ignore.

Last night was a great time in the nest, and ranks up there with the best exp parties ive had up to date. Party consisted of (starting levels):
me - 40 pld/war
40 whm/blm
41 rdm/blm
3 41 rng/nin
I was iffy going into the pt, because of the hi change of not being able to keep the hate. however i was able to, and with refresh and regen, there was no downtime, and we were storming through soldier crawlers, about 4k exp per hour.
Too bad then the whm had to leave...had to work an early am...stupid real life gettin in the way, lol
peace

im at lvl 38 any suggestions when i should leave and where to go to?
where can i get a map of this place
You get the map of Crawler's Nest by completing the first 15 'monument rubbings' on the 'An Explorer's Footsteps' quest, given by Abelard in Selbina. This will take a while to do as you will need to find the monuments in many of the 'outdoor' zones, going to Selbina after each one to hand it in to Abelard (who will give you another piece of Selbina clay for the next one).

i got the key in my party today, incredibly someone shouted the pos of the chest 15 minutes after i got the key, i rush to the pos which was across the room from where i was (one square,lucky me) and, not thinking, open the chest giving all my party members 4.6k -.- i was rather angry after finding out where the money went but my nice party deserved it ..plus i got another key an hour later..haha
btw the key was called: Nest Key or Nest Chest
Key (or something like that) not crawlers nest key
crawlers nest key may be for the coffer.
chest pos: http://www.speakeasy.org/~sticks/ffxi/treasure/Fr_Crawlers'_Nest.html
(as already listed..just saving you time)

The coffer key is Nest Coffer Key. chest = treasure chest, coffer = treasure coffer
Where on this site can i find a map of this place?
For those of you looking for a set timeline for when to level in the Crawler's Nest... Might I suggest.... some time after lv 35-36.
On the other hand... When asking when to leave this zone... ASAP is my response.. heh.
The crawlers link, a lot... later they Aggro... The Exorays are murder (literally) the flies spam AoE's all over the place... on top of all that this place is such a *fun* place to navigate without the annoying, quest-gained, map.
I would recommend around 45 or so leave here and head to Quicksand Caves. Kick around a few beetles at first, then spiders and some of the hapless Anticans near the zone. With a good pt you can get to 50 in no time there... THEN go back to CN and kick around some Exorays.
Just MY thought on it.

When should you get in for a summoner?
And at what level can you leave this place? What's the next place?
And at what level can you leave this place? What's the next place?
It is possible to level here from as early as 33-34 all the way through 50, which is entirely the reason for the zone's popularity.
There is no 'next place' to exp after this, seeing as how this zone supports such a wide array of party levels. I would make it my mission to dispel the 'linear path' conception of exp gain that so many NA players have acquired, but such a battle is unwinnable. Learn multiple zones where your party can exp. That's all I can advise.
