Ozmone Plain, south of Giza Plain. It is a good place to start prepping team to visit Zertinan Caverns, another, more worthwhile place to visit.
The Lhusu Mines were a great place to farm chains and get loot, but I always hated the whole mine aspect. After getting Basch and visiting a floating continent, the last thing I wanted was to be cooped up underground again.
She meant the Giza Plains.Quote:

IIRC, the Henne Mines with the dropping Jelly creatures is probably one of the best later-game grinding spots. I really haven't bothered to do much late-game grinding, though, since I didn't have much trouble by that point. If I bothered to go after some of the higher marks I probably would have gone here.
After I was past the point of it being particularly useful, I was told about Dustia, which can be easily exploited very early in the game when you have only Vaan. I will probably try this on my next playthrough.
The Skeletons in Lushu are also interesting early game because they drop Iron Helmets, which at that point are great heavy armour headgear. I got enough to outfit my entire party with them simply by chaining the Skeletons on my way to 99 Bonefragments. And still had some left to spare to sell for some extra gil.
I chained someplace in the dungeon where you meet Basch. That was good fun early on, and gave me a great start.
I have to admit, I was briefly confused by your earlier statement as well. I didn't have the Den in mind when you mentioned acquiring a figurine, while I've chained 999 of those stupid little desert tribals. :|Quote:

I should elaborate on this, shouldn't I :PQuote:

However, much later on when I've decided I now want a full license board and all my characters at LV99, that is what I then do.
