all my main characters are between level 30 and 36 and I am in the Phon Coast. where would be a good place to level up and get good loot/chains?

sand sea great place for chains

South of the Giza Plains is a good place to get gil as well.

eastersands...all those worgens (red wolves). They drop throat wolf blood (sells for over 1000). And there's so many of them you can go for about 40 min with out running of a chain.

Got a chain of 74 there...

Lhusu mines in the area where the antlion mark is, I think its near site 11, is a great place to level and get loot. Thats where I am lvling right now. Each of the mantis mobs give over 1k exp each and can drop an Insect husk sells for over 600 gil each. The Vampyrs give a lil more than 450 exp each and drop spiral incisors which sells for a tad under 1,000 gil each.

Since the topic of the mines has arisen, I have a question.
How do you open the gate that is blocking Site 2?
It comes after the magecite cavern thing.

You need the site 3 key which is obtained when you accept the Antlion hunt.

It's been covered ad-nauseum, but since someone has to do it I'll jump under the bus.... http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/final_fantasy_xii_neg_level.txt

I've lost track of the number times I've said this on these boards. Direct-links to guides at GameFAQs do not work. They have a method to block them. You'll need to direct us to the name of the guide and if you like, link to the FFXII guides section at GameFAQs.

And like a gimp I do it every time..... seriously, I don't do it on purpose. So with my apology, I suggest looking up the Negalmuur Auto Leveling Guide. I should just copy and paste the whole guide here somewhere. For as often as it seems to come up you'd think someone would have by now....

I won't copy the whole thing word for word, but that's pretty much the core of it. For the rest go to gamefaqs.com, look up ps2 games, FFXII, guides and secrets, negalmuur auto-leveling guide.

In the 'happy set hills' place where the iron horses
roam, after the giza plains, before the village. (Good luck trying to understand that sentence. :P)
Was anyone able to go through the tunnel where
the horses that teleport and have crazy magic spells dwell?
I know it leads west but to what?

I think you're in the Ozmone Plain, in which there's a back door into the Zertinan Caverns.

Stay out of those caverns. Adremmelech is in there and he will kick your ass.

I was lvl 35 when I tried. He killed my people whit 1-2 hits.

Yea now I remember the place where the crazy horses are is the
Zertinan Caverns! Has anyone gotten past the crazy magic horses?
If so what's back there? Who's Adremmelech?

He's an Esper. I found out by running away from the enemies.and making may through the caverns.

I was bored...

Andrammalech is totally beatable at that level if you know what you're doing / have good licenses / equipment / magicks.

I found this out by accident. Set your gambits to foe flying = blizzara or blizzaga and have Fran equipped with a fairly decent bow and if you have had a chance to make them, the icecloud arrows. He is a flying critter and extremely weak to ice and ice attacks.
