	With that in mind, what do you do if you don't have access to Jug Pets? Or you'd rather just use Charm for that Era experience? Well here are some suggestions. This list will primarily focus on T/EM/DC vs. low EP camps that I've done on BST and /BST that were either enjoyable or at least tolerable. It is by no means a be-all and end-all guide. You should be able to hit 3-5k/hr w/o xp buff at most of the listed camps, and in several cases, quite a bit more. However, YMMV and you may want to read the notes at the bottom first regarding starting level.		With that in mind, what do you do if you don't have access to Jug Pets?

	** You can rest/cure/etc. without generating additional enmity by doing so 30+(?) yalms away from your (pet's) target. This comes in handy during longer fights where you just want to throw pets at something until it dies (ex. NMs). Your pet taking taking a swing at something will always shift hate away from you, even if it whiffs, as long as you haven't taken any other actions that generate [[Enmity\|CE]].		** You can rest/cure/etc. without generating additional enmity by doing so 30+(?) yalms away from your (pet's) target.

	** Yes, /BST can use pet food. If you are targeting EP with a (near-)EM pet, Reward will typically provide more than enough healing to cover any damage your pet has taken between cooldowns. This means any zone with good level gap and worthwhile prey can be ideal, even if your desired pet is on the other side of the zone - as long as you're willing to make the trip to haul the pet over and as long as the extra drops outweigh the cost of food. I don't think I'll be going through all such camps in this guide, as that's probably a little too open-ended for some people, but I'll try and note a few here and there. I'm sure anybody adventurous enough will be able to find/figure out those camps for themselves just by pulling up the mob list for any particular zone. https://ffximobdb.com/ is a very good resource for this purpose.		** Yes, /BST can use pet food.

			* Maybe try monitoring Wide Scan sometimes to see if Aquarius pops, or even just camp it directly. It appears to be a pure lottery pop. I've gotten 3 Aquarius within 1 hour before.

	** Adding a "/target <bt>" to the end of your Charm macro will save you a lot of keystrokes and occasionally prevent mishaps, particularly if you find yourself having to swap pets in the middle of a fight while running away from your target (ex. soloing certain NMs) and don't have the luxury of stopping to turn your camera and manually bump the cursor back to your target. On that note, I recommend the Horizon-approved [https://github.com/Hokuten85/XICamera/releases/tag/v0.7.8 XICamera] addon to expand your FOV and increase the camera rotation speed.		** Adding a "/target <bt>" to the end of your Charm macro will save you a lot of keystrokes and occasionally prevent mishaps, particularly if you find yourself having to swap pets in the middle of a fight while running away from your target (ex. soloing certain NMs) and don't have the luxury of stopping to turn your camera and manually bump the cursor back to your target.
