Previously, Heorot carried out Maat's quest "Atop the Highest Mountains" and raised his level limit to 60. Now, he will continue training, this time in Xarcabard.

Heorot resumes in his Mog House in Bastok. Checking his delivery box, he receives money for three stacks of Light Crystals that sold. Thank you to the purchasers! Now, Heorot can pick up a couple of spells. He heads out to Bastok Mines.

Bastok Mines (time 1:18):

Heorot uses the nearby Home Point to teleport to Windurst Waters.

Windurst Waters (time 1:39):

In the southern part of Windurst Waters, Heorot goes to the Federal Magic Reserve at G-7/G-8. From Hilkomu-Makimu, he picks up a Scroll of Fire II. He uses it to learn the Black Magic spell Fire II. He does not pick up any White Magic here.

Heorot uses the nearby Home Point to teleport to Lower Jeuno.

Lower Jeuno (time 4:10):

Heorot visits Waag-Deeg's Magic at H-8/H-9. From Hasim, he picks up a Scroll of Cure IV and a Scroll of Barparalyzra. He uses them to learn the White Magic spells Cure IV and Barparalyzra. A Bar- spell increases resistance to the specified element or status ailment.

Heorot teleports to Ru'Lude Gardens.

Ru'Lude Gardens (time 7:19):

After buffing, Heorot uses the Survival Guide at I-10 to teleport to Xarcabard in the Valdeaunia region.

Xarcabard (time 8:33):

Heorot arrives at the Outpost at H-9. He was right to come prepared, as a pesky Evil Eye is lurking in the Outpost.

From the Field Manual at H-9, Heorot takes on the Page 5 individual training. This is to defeat 5 members of the Demon family, 4 members of the Gigas family, and 3 Evil Eyes per training regime. Most if not all of the monsters in Xarcabard are aggressive, so I'm glad I did not come at a much lower level.

Evil Eyes spawn throughout Xarcabard and are extremely annoying. They have high resistance to debuffs, including Silence. They have Level 5 Petrify, so if your level is a multiple of 5, be careful. Ice Elementals spawn during snowstorms. Their Ice Spikes can inflict paralysis, but they have a chance to drop multiple Ice Clusters.

Gigases tend to spawn in the northeast. They are not too bad on their own, but look out for Evil Eyes in the area. Elementals can also appear. Frost Gigases are Beastmasters. Each is likely to have a Gigas's Tiger as a pet, so try to pull and defeat the tiger first.

Demons spawn throughout the zone, but there is a densely populated area of them up the ramp at H-7. Evil Eyes and elementals can also appear here, so take care. Sleep is a simple yet effective crowd control spell. Heorot definitely has a score to settle with them since they defeated him in the previous video.

Fortunately, the monsters here seem to drop treasure chests more frequently than the ones in Yhoator Jungle. Heorot acquires a little Carapace-tier equipment.

Eventually, Heorot reaches Level 54 as Red Mage.

When Heorot is done training, he uses the Survival Guide at the Outpost at H-9 to teleport to Bastok Mines.

Bastok Mines (time 1:00:26):

Heorot visits Neigepance at the Chocobo Stables to sell off some loot and duplicate equipment that he acquired in Xarcabard. Then, he heads to the Residential Area.

Mog House (time 1:02:53):

After a little inventory management, Heorot signs off. Next time, he will do another session of training in Xarcabard.

Thanks for watching!
