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
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), 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)
