Beastmasters are generally considered the best solo job in the game. Beastmasters often can be found soloing monsters or teaming up with other Beastmasters in all-Beastmaster [[parties]].  In a conventional party, a Beastmaster will most frequently fill the roles of [[Damage Dealer|damage dealer]] and [[puller]], and augment their damage with [[Jug Pets|"Jug Pets"]].

* [[Beastmaster Leveling Guide]]
This is personal and community experience that said please feel free to add, modify, correct or update any information.


* [[Bst gear guide|Beastmaster Gear Guide]]


So your a beastmaster or want to level up as bst which has a lot of pros to it:
[[Category:Jobs]]


1) you level on your time, no waiting for parties or feeling guilty if you can't do a long time commitment
<br>
 
{{JobNav|state=expanded}}
2) all the drops are yours, this includes beastseals and kindred seals
 
2a) your no thief but do have more money making/farming oppertunities than other melee classes
 
3) sometimes people and level ranges just suck
 
4) grouping up with fellow beastmasters
 
5) easier to solo/lowman stories/missions/quests/BCNMs
 
6) pets can provide debuffs
 
There are cons:
 
1) exp without exp band will probably cap out at 6-8k per hour solo, at higher levels grouping can get more exp/hour
 
2) desirability endgame for groups is low right now
 
'''Basics/tips and tricks for leveling'''
 
Long gone is the days of charm/release on EM-Ts for exp and now its about chewing out eps for highest exp hour. When a mob you can kill in 30 seconds gives 50 exp your looking at 500 exp in 5 minutes and 6k exp an hour. It is my hope that others will also contribute to the camps as well as exp/hour so that everyone can enjoy the experience better.
 
1) keep a scythe and axe on you. You want to keep both leveled up as you go along with the preference for scythe. Dual wielding axes can give you decent dps as /nin or use with shield if your worried about survival and don't have /nin. At 125 sythe you can do aoe scythe weaponskill. This opens up being able to aoe packs with jugs.
 
2) /whm /nin and /thf are most used subjobs. /whm for sneak/invis/cures. /nin 24+ for invis/duelwield/utsumi /thf 30+ for sneak attack and treasure hunter and 60+ for triple attack and trick attack. sythe works better for any subjob than /nin due to max tp gains per hit and more dps. This will change over probably around level 50+ with rampage if your /nin but then you miss out on the benifits of /thf and /whm. If your in a bst burn any sub is probably fine though /nin would be best used. There are niche cases for /war if your attack starved
 
3) food use meats for attack if your killing EM and lower and sushi if your killing T or higher. Acc to 95% cap is the best dps stat.
 
4) jugs and pet food. Jugs have caps but you get them 23+ as bst main. It summons pets your level up to cap (HQ jugs have no level cap). Pet food is cheap and a stack of 12 would last 1 hour of exping (3 minute reward timer). At worst its good in a pinch to help keep jug alive if call beast timer is down (5 minutes). At high levels you'll have to decide to either part with going through jugs more often or giving them hp to reduce downtime for exp. Remember maximum exp means as little time resting as possible.
 
5) charm set at 14 covers a lot of what you will need as both bst and /bst.
 
Head 14- nobles ribbon -CHR+3
 
Neck 15- bird whistle - chr+3
 
Opal ring+1 - 14 - chr+2
 
So at 14 you can have +7 chr and 15 +10. CHR is what affects charm and this set is universal for all classes at 40 you can add corsete+1 for +6 chr as well and 51+ light staff for charming. AF will increase duration of charm as well. I'd recomend 2 charm sets one with the light staff and one without so you can use as needed for the situation.
 
6) if you know you'll do an exp session next time you'll be logging on pop your exp band and get signet. When you log in next day (16 hours later) you can then use up that exp band and then pop it again for +8k bonus exp. that's 1-2 extra levels work of exp from 10-50 for doing what you already were going to do.
 
7) gobbie bag quest are your friends. it lets you hold more gear and drops/crystals when exping.
 
8) respawns in open world are 5 minutes from kill and dungeons/other areas are 15 minutes.
 
9) skill up easy method, equip level 1 weapon, charm mob A and attack mob B. Before charm on A is complete relase it (or it dies) then charm mob B and release or have it kill another mob. Rinse repeat. Get first ws in starter zone. To level 22-25 use Buburimu Penisula lighthouse beach. 22-30 quifim or korrokolla tunnel leaches/crabs. 30-41 eastern altepa desert beetles and dmhals, 41-51 western altepa desert beetles. 51-63 Gustav tunnel crabs.
 
'''Levels/camps'''
 
'''''1-12''''' Kill everything in the starting zone until level 1 mobs no longer give exp
 
'''West Sautabaruta''' K-8 or H-10 just outside the gate. There were very people around here. Charm the highest level around here and kill everything until level 1 no long give exp at around 11 or so. Then make your way to G6/7/8 up on the cliff. Charm high level bees and kill everything until your 12/13
 
'''North Gustaberg''' make your way up to the monument charming and killing. Target is mainly bees but again purpose is exp/hour for leveling at this point.
 
'''''11-20/23'''''
 
'''Tahrongi Canyon'''
There are 3-4 camps for exp in here as their is some overlap.
 
''11-14/15/16'' at G10/H10 with luck rune charm the highest level and kill everything. Mandgargora aren't the best charm as you can pull hate off them easily but go around and chew them up to at least 14 if you can, grind this to 15 or 16 so that charming dmhals is easier.
 
Alternative is G7/G8 along the cliff but there is goblins so beware.
 
''14-18'' E5/F5. Charm dhmals to kill everything in site including the occasional dmhal and going up to birds at E5. There are ghouls that spawn around birds at E5 but you can use those as intermediate charms until you can safely charm the dmhals which range 14-16. When exp starts to peter out at 19 you can move onto new area or next camp.
 
''18-23/24/25'' 4-6k exp an hour F6
 
Kill the bees here. Charm the high level bees and kill the lower level ones. Goblins are also 18-20 so build up tp and high level charms before killing them. The idea is to kill low level bees to respawn as high level ones to help kill goblins. There is the rare level 20 bee spawn here. Pop exp band to get through 20-23 here and then it gets better with jug pet. With rabbit at 23 I was getting 6k exp/hour killing everything and using macro for cures and /sic to full. I was able to clear all the bees and goblins and /sic to full in about 5 minutes respawn. I did this to 25 but if you want to move on earlier you can. Lots of good drops with beehive chips and crystals.
 
'''''20-30''''' '''maze of Shakhrami'''
 
I didn't personally do this but what i gather is 2 camps.
 
at entrance bats to bats or worms.
 
E7/F7/G7 Charm and sic everything against each other. Main target is crawlers. Use the scorpion starting at 25 if your charming.
 
If your using jug pets keep lots of food or lots of pets handy good exp hour.
 
'''''20-35''''' '''Buburimu Penisula'''
 
''20-25'' F7/G7 Charm birds and kill the rabbits/sprouts. Beware of goblins
 
''25-30/31/32'' G6 kill the new horizion mobs here with jug. Rabbit shouldn't need food that often but it goes fast.
 
''30-35/3''6 I7/H7 There are bull dmhals and horizon dmhals in about 3 packs here. Run around and kill them with any pet. Pet food recommended
 
'''''30-45''''' '''Korroloka Tunnel'''
 
Id recommend starting here at 35 but there are alternatives you can use to start here at 30.
 
''30-35'' Target worms and bats the entrance and side
 
''30-35'' charm/alternative camps map 3 J8/K8 crabs and pugils in this area
 
Korroloka tunnel map 3
E8/f8/g8 same deal
 
I7/J7 spiders- these are decent drops but the slow will hurt dps. Charm other rooms and kill them or use pet jug.
 
''30-40'' map 5
 
Korroloka Tunnel Map 5
Kraken can spawn in G11 room 33-35 can use that to help mow down rest of mobs in G11/H11 can also taget leaches near the ninja quest location if you run out of things to kill
 
''35-43/44/45'' The main tunnel
 
Id recommend the tiger jug and some pet food. You kill everything bats/leaches/spiders everything. Gigas are around level 35 you might want to avoid them as they have a lot of hp and take time to kill. The oozes are also farmed and will fall off exp around 35. Still high exp and will last up to 45 if you want to grind it out here. Good exp hour
 
44-52 East Altepa Desert - J-7/K-7 - Level  - BST/THF suggested for farming 8x Antican Auxiliarius - Drop Antican Pauldrons (22k/stack ~20% drop rate) 6-7k xp/hr - Tesmony-fumbles
 
'''''45-50''''' '''Oldton movolopis (bst only)'''
 
I'm using the HQ rabbit jug to get groups of 3-7 goblins/moblins and bats and aoe them down. Bring pick axes to mine if you want a break and want to get extra gil.
 
'''''40-45''''' '''Yuhtunga jungle (/bst or bst)'''
 
F11 charm pugils (/bst) and kill sahagin or just kill everything. Exp parties can be here so be warned.
 
'''''45-55''''' '''SSG'''
 
Near entrance kill everything. This is speculation on my part but where I plan to go next.

Available after completing the quests Save My Son and Path of the Beastmaster, these experts in monster research have trained tirelessly to communicate with, and even control the animals of Vana'diel. Based on their knowledge of beasts, Beastmasters (BST) can charm the beasts of Vana'diel to fight alongside them or obtain items that summon beasts called Familiars through the Call Beast job ability.

Beastmasters are generally considered the best solo job in the game. Beastmasters often can be found soloing monsters or teaming up with other Beastmasters in all-Beastmaster parties. In a conventional party, a Beastmaster will most frequently fill the roles of damage dealer and puller, and augment their damage with "Jug Pets".

Horizon Changes HorizonXI specific changes

  • Moderate changes to Artifact Armor.
  • Significant changes to the relic weapon Guttler.
  • The night flowers that need to be examined while doing the Save My Son quest can be examined as early as 16:00 and as late as 06:00 hours in game. This may or may not be a bug.
  • Ready wasn't available until 2009. There are only 45 seconds between charges as opposed to 60 seconds when it was available. A maximum of 3 charges still applies but this is now attained after 2 minutes and 25 seconds has passed as opposed to 3 minutes.
  • Every physical and magical damage dealing TP move is no longer imbued with Skillchain Attributes/Magic Burst Properties.
  • Pets will persist through a player zoning.
  • All HQ Familiars now cap at 75.
  • Pet food has been buffed to provide increased HP/stats etc. to pets.
