I see what everyone means when they say they hate Valkurm...

Shakhrami is what lvl ... 20 ?

Never level'd there. Ive done Ordells Cave ... thats about lvl 17-20'sh (when i was solo'n with my bst.)>.<

Yeah, worms are about 17-21, bats are a little tougher, and gobs are the upper spectrum. There's always enough mobs, too. Just stick to the entrance and have a ball. It's also a decent place for parties that don't have teleports yet to get over to Korroloka or the dunes.

I will say that I was in a very good party in Valkurm not long ago. We camped near the goblin campfire northwest of Selbina and had hardly any downtime at all. Maybe the fact that my allies were all rank 6+ had something to do with it but meh...

Thank you oddler ... i will have to check out party'n there :D

partied in Valkrum once nd never went back....if i wanna lv a job 10-15 now i get my buddie to PL me to 15 in giddues..faster nd alot funner(yeah i know funner ain't a real word, so wat, sue me ;) )

It's funny because i usually have an 'interesting' time when i go into valkurm ... (to say the least) as any sort of job that employs magic ....

So far ive been through Whm, blm, brd, rdm and blu.

I took my war into valkurm and had an ok time needless to say i was hitting for far less than anyone else ... and managed to completely avoid valkurm with my smn.

Tonight ... i hope to take my almost lvl 9 pld up and into valkurm and kick some a$$ and forget my pad so i'll just have to kick some more a$$ :lol:

News at 11 =P

Level 9? Wouldn't it be faster to solo still?

I never go to party before level 12. I really like going at my pace and I try to drag that out for as long as I can.

I usually goto valkurm from about 9-15 ish ... then to basty (kor. tunnel) to at about 20 then on to qufim >.<

I go to kor. tunnel at about 16.

it seems like a right moment.

:3

though I really hated going through there with my WHM and BLM, its hard to have downtime when you have got a camp that has to move around (as the good spaces are ALWAYS taken) a very differant experience to what I was use to.

Guy: use food!
Me: I said I am out of Selbina Milk and Orange Juice >_<
Guy: *kicks*

When i took my pld from 9-13 i made a LS pt ... it was great fun ... actually the best time i've had in the dunes and it was my first time as a tank ^^

Which is wierd cause i didn't really tank when i play'd war >.<

I remember one time I had two paladins in one party. One had pld/thf the other pld/whm.. both asked what "tank" meant. :mog: 2 hours and 450 exp ._.

x_x

Today I was with PLD, NIN, NIN in the jungles. I thought it was going to suck but we did pretty well. I guess anything is fine in the jungles.

As for Valkurm I've gone through pretty smoothly my last couple times.

I dont mind it all that much anymore. Was PL a friend with my PLD and a guy offered me 20k to raise him and his friend. Easiest 20k ive made yet :)

Yeah, I wonder where he got that money...

I've had this WHM Taru claiming his main was 59PLD and he was telling me not to use my PLD White Magic spells until he's out of MP. I also had a Taru WAR telling me "Not to use all my cures on myself" or something to that effect.

Apart from that Valkurm was always pretty smooth, that was until I leveled WHM.

I was looking forward to getting WHM to a high enough level to party, but when the time came every single one of the parties sucked. now I'm afraid to go back there, I even resorted to duoing with a SMN friend (30 exp per kill and a crapload of downtime :().
