Xlight's BST Burn Guide

This Is A Work In Progress

Welcome, my name is Xlight and I am a 75BST on HorizonXI and have mastered the dark skills of BST Burning. Do you want to get great xp and join the million other BST on Horizon? Well you have come to the right place then. This guide is to help you get from 1 to 75 BST on horizon faster than any other job, except maybe BRD.

Level 1-10

This part is pretty simple, grab an axe and kill level 1 mobs in starter zones until you hit level 10. The trick is when you hit level 4+ try to find a level 4 beast (bat, hare, etc.) and charm it to help you kill level 1 mobs faster.

Level 10-20

• Ghelsba Outpost
  

This is a common area where you form an alliance and just murder everything for low xp but very fast. Usually around 6k/hxp.

• Valkurm Dunes
  

Oh the dunes, noob capital of Vana'diel. If you are a masochist and love crappy xp and a lot of death then go here for around 2-6k/hxp.

• La Theine Plateau
  

K-11 Worm Party where you "Range Tank". Range tanking is when someone with provoke goes withing 17' and provokes and then runs out of range of 30'. Rinse and repeat every 30s until mob is dead. Healers keep mainly provoker alive.

Party Comp: 1 Healer + any job /war + 4 DD's

Pick DD's in this order in preference:
DRG > WAR > RNG > DRK > MNK > SAM. Avoid BST unless they voker and especially THF unless they voker.

Sync: 10-14. Exp: 10-15k/hxp

• Solo BST
  

I heard rumors that BST can solo and charm mobs for xp. Honestly I believe it to be lies just like the female orgasm.

Level 20-23

• Qufim Island
  

I consider this Dunes 2.0. Do this at your own risk! XP can vary from 4-12k/hxp

• Korroloka Tunnel (15-18)
  

Similar to La Theine Plateua you perform a "Rank Tank" pt. Only cons is sometimes people solo worms and some people are rude and wont leave worms alone. Expect around 10-15k/hxp

Level 23-30

This is when you can start the real juicy XP because BST now have the most OP ability in HorizonXI CALL BEAST!!!

• Korroloka Tunnel (23-27)
  

Mobs: Greater Pugils (30-33) Link, Clipper (29-32)
Rank: A (10-12k/hxp)
Pets: NQ sheep > NQ crab > NQ hare
Party Comp: 1 Healer + 5 BST/NIN > BST/WHM > BST/THF

At level 23-24 just do Clippers
When you hit 25 you have SIC moves and just spam single target moves. You can also now add Greater Pugils to your route but be very careful, they link.

• Meriphataud Mountain (23-27) D-10 or H-9
  

Mobs: Coeurls, Hill Lizzard, Dogs
Rank: S (12-15k/hxp)
Pets: NQ sheep only!
Party Comp: 1 Healer + 5 BST/NIN > BST/WHM > BST/THF

This is probably the first time you will taste BST burn and will never go back to being a SOLO BST!!! The bonus is there is 2 camps where you can exp too!

From 23-24 Just kill the Coeurls and the odd dogs (when they spawn at nite). Your healer will need to be fast on the paralyna mainly and use regen (if they have it) or throw cure 1 only and throw cure 2 in between fights. The party should be roaming. When you hit 25 add the Lizzads into the mix and spam your Lamb Chops from your Sheeps and watch the mobs melt.

Level 30-40

• Yhoator Jungle (30-37)
  

Mobs: Goblin's Bee (38-40)
Rank: A+ (13-16k/hxp) Not an S because can be dangerous and possible deaths.
Pets: NQ sheep with a few Beta biscuits
Party Comp: 3x BST/NIN > BST/WHM > BST THF OR puller + 2x BST/NIN > BST/WHM > BST THF

This is a little different type of Burn which people usually call a PET BURN which was usually what BLM's did soloing or duoing. The key to this is that you will have a MAX of 3 people otherwise xp will drop substantially if you have 4 or more in a party. What you do is pull a pet (BEE) while the Goblin is looking away. If the pet paths in front of it's master than the Goblin will link and aggro, so it is best to pull when the Goblin finished moving. BE CAREFUL during water weather a Water Elemental Spawns at the pond and it will magic aggro your party if you cast mage spells (ninjitsu is not mage magic).

• Crawler's Nest (32-38)
  

Mobs: Death Jacket (40-42) Link, Worker Crawler (40-44) Link, Maze Lizard (41-43) Link
Rank: C (8-12k/hxp)
Pets: NQ tigers with a few Beta Biscuits > NQ sheep
Party Comp: 1 Healer + 5 BST/NIN > BST/WHM > BST/THF

I personally do not like this camp that much but it is still decent. The only reason I do not like it is because a lot of normal pts xp here so you might be competing for mobs. The other problem is all your mobs you fight link so can be dangerous. Beyond that it aint that bad.

• Yhoator Jungle (36-41) F/G-9
  

Mobs: Worker Crawlers (43-46) Link
Rank: B (9-12k/h) Not higher because possible Coeurl aggro or Crawler links
Pets: NQ tiger, NQ sheep, or if your name is Elon NQ Antlions
Party Comp: 1 Healer + 5 BST/NIN > BST/WHM > BST/THF

You can fight around Teleport-Yhoat Crystal or one of the tunnels around the crystal. It is not that bad but the links and especially the Sight aggro Coeurls can be annoying.
