Ok me and a BST friend are currently leveling at Korrolocka, we are both 25. When we leveling together we get about 200xp per spider and when we solo we get about 75xp per worm. Pretty good stuff atm, but after the xp dies there (I'm assuming lvl27-28 it will) wheres a good place, qufim? I was thinking "Heck yea - qufims got lots of stuff to charm and lots of stuff to kill!" But during "Rush Hour" when 4000 people online theres not much to kill, theres trains almost always (including the ones we cause ) - in other words, utter complete hell. Is there a secret BST-friendly area that no normal person would go to where we can level? (for example instead of qufim for 20-25 we went to bubu)
--- I was think Knight crabs - but i think they may be too tough since we'd need craploads of broths and theres nothing in the area to charm. Don't want to go bankrupt. Possibly juenos surrounding areas?

jugner... i assume thats a quite all right place if i look at the bestiary... and i see LOADS of BST runung around there. so maybe you should give that a try just to see how the exp works

I've seen Bsts in Pas marshes also.

[Bishamon]

Marshes are too easy and too hard all at the same time - only good prey there is malboro and you'd prolly need to charm a great deal of the population of gadflys to even defeat one.
---I hate jugner with a passion since those trees cause for Tigers to use guerilla warfare on our asses - but the last time i went i think i was 20 so when im 27-ish i think ill give it a go again

yo Bish
hows ur charming abilty?
do u succeed alot?
Bst is starting to seem fun...

i didnt even think galka could b a decent bst. i stopped at 3 b/c i didnt charm that well lol

u got any tips?

[Bishamon]

IMO galka is the best race for BST everyone has their own thoughts>>
Charming at low levels (1~9) you probably shouldn't do or you'll get discouraged - treat it as you would a war - then when you about 10-11 you can start having some BST fun! go to highlands and start getting lizards. I haven't had a real problem with charming - except when trying to get jelly's in korrolocka to chain spidys i cant think of one thing i havent been able to charm in less that 1-2 tries (including toughs and whatnot). I don't die nearly as much as my taru bud - which is why I think Galkas are better. BST's are really fun - I can't wait to do BCNM 40 so I can break out Courier Carrie!

O_o sweet

question about chr tho - does it matter?

what affects charming chances? and How long should the charms last?

[PlayingForFun]

why do u need to do BCNM 40 to do courier carrie? isn't she just a HQ whatever item is used to summon crabs? or can you only get the item from BCNM 40?

[Bishamon]

o nonono, Corrie Carrie is hq broth - correct. It goes for 10k a stack and 1k per broth. So i wanted to wait to use my carries broths on something worthwile (ie BCNM 40) and not something stupid. Just being smart with gil, cuz im super cheap!

As for CHR: It helps your charm success rate and helps increase length of a charm ~ not sure if it raises power any. And for BRDS it increases song length and effectivness (not too sure on bard CHR - so dont come to me with questions on more of that)

[Lily]

Charisma just increases your chance to charm, or rather, decreases the chances of failing. It does not affect charm duration. Duration is based solely on your lvl versus the mob's lvl.

In BC40, the idea is, BSTs charm the minions in the BC, not use broths. Common ones are the bunnies and the mandras. You get 7 normal + 1 boss. 6 bsts charm 1 normal each, and then fight the boss and the other spare one with their pets. After those, they release their pets one by one and fight those off.

[Bishamon]

Still going to use carrie
Probably going to use on BCNM 30 ~ the new one

[Lily]

No, you *must* charm the mobs in the burning circle, for the BC40 ones. That's really the key to winning.

But yeah, for the others I guess you can use broths. I personally don't know much about the other types of BC.
