Description
This enormous expanse of dunes can be found along the Bhefhel Gulf. While a majority of the surrounding coastline is too shallow for larger sea vessels, one natural harbor does exist. Near this harbor lies the independent port town of Selbina.[1]

On the note that the possible place to find ghouls: It is near trees. They hardly ever spawn somewhere where there are no trees. So if U wan't to gain skulls go to areas like for instance: j-6 i-7 and f-7. That is where we almost find Ghouls. And really watch out for those Bogys...

Theres a Dungeon.. Fairly High lvl one.. through a little tunnel not on the map.. it begins at C-6 and leads to a secret beach.. then from there you go left on the beach till you hit a tunnel. from what I saw it was lvl 40-70.. with mostly high 60's and 70's in there.. must be good drops..
Gustav Tunnel, good place to lvl at lvls 45-60, that and the Boyhada tree

this is definitally the greatest place to train at lvl 13 and up, thats if you are with an experianced party. i went there at lvl 13, i was with 5 others all lvl 13, white mage, 3 warrior (including me), monk, and a theif. we all lvled up to 15 within an hour, it was amazing. at one point we got to exp. chain 8. we would have went higher but couldn't find any more lizards or anything to fight lol. at lvl 13 i was getting around 180-220 exp per fight!!! that is amazing. we didn't even really go in that far, just stayed in the beggining fighting tinkerers, ambushers, and mist lizards, ohh not to mention those nasty star bats, they make a challenging fight, but its defitally worth it. so i just have to say if you want quick lvls i recomend training here.
Um..... EXP chain #8? That's a lie, EXP chain max is #5, lying isnt gonna make you cooler...

Is there a zone-out in that little northwest outshoot at C6?
Yeah, from Konschtat head to the north-west corner of that little area and there's a tunnel that leads to the dunes.
Watch for Gobs, and the Sand Bats in the tunnel go aggro.

On the map the area with the konschtat entrance appears to be cut off from the rest of the zone. Is it possible to reach the entire zone from konschtat
Yah, there's just a little tunnel there between the two "broken" pieces.
have a thief with treasure hunter ability join you on your hunt. we killed 3 ghouls in a row and saw 3 skulls in a row. happy hunting :)

Level 15 seems to be a bit high, fought there today with good success in the beginning with a group mostly level 12, one 13 and one 14 (full group).

Had a level 60 whm help me do mine in about 30 minuts. Got the apron and worm here but we went to a some sort of mine zone that was adjacent to the Konschtat Highlands. There were plenty of ghouls a little ways in there and we got 2 in about 10 minuts time. The dungeon seemed to be a place for lvl 16 - 19 or so (in the front where I was).

I was grouping here today with a party of 18-20 and we were at F-7.. a ghoul pops there after 0:28 and out of 4 ghouls (4 days pass) we got 3 skulls.. the thing is they all rotted cuz we all already had it ><

this is really getting frustrating.. been here for about 14 hours seen 3 skulls drop and missed rolls on them. ive seen skulls drop 1/2 about but i rarely ever find the ghouls wasting so much time on this is there any other way to get the dang skull 4 people in my group needed it too.

Such an item would be a great find, any details for finding this item would be greatly appreciated as it is better than the fabled leaping boots.

i heard there where ghouls in this zone any one no where they are?

Yes, there are ghouls in this area. You need to fight them to get the Magical Skull drop that allows you to finish the subjob quest.
I've never really pinpointed any specific place they are - but most siting are around places with trees. Overall, they're all over the map, but only at night!

Ghouls are rare spawns. They appear to be able to spawn pretty much anywhere in the area, although as mentioned, some spots in the area are more likely spawn points than others (dunno why this is). Even so, its possible to get your group in a likely spot and have them there for a few game nights without seeing a single ghoul, and at other times, you might see a couple of ghouls every night.
Even then, the skull is a somewhat rare drop. Someone mentioned to me yesterday that their Gusgen Mines group (ghouls are also in Gusgen Mines, which is a difficult dungeon for most people hanging out in Valkurm Dunes) slaughtered about 50 ghouls without getting a single skull to drop. This is an extreme case, however, and the more common drop rate seems to be about 8-10 ghouls per skull.

If you don't feel like trying to get a skull u can take the selbina ship over to mhura and do that version of the sub-quest. It's A LOT harder becuase you have to fight bogies but quicker. I think the Selbina one and the Mhura one are equally challenging in my opinion, but just a suggestion.
You might wanna get a 30+ friend for the bogies.
