Slime Oil Trademarket

Due to rather quick drops and fast selling, farming for slime oil has become increasingly popular in my LinkShell. Especially in Korroloka Tunnel. Here the slime's are a low level (23-28), many spawn points and a very decent drop rate (to which I recomend going as thf or subbing thf) Slime oil stacks sell quickly and are always in high demand. With people under pricing the oil for less for quicker selling, the price of slime oil can also change drastically. Currently I've seen it bounce from 20k to 12k, lately its been at a steady 15k which is very nice still. In order to farm these here slimes I'd suggest a job of 45+. While these slimes in Korroloka are a relatively low level, they have high damage resists from all weapon types:

Piercing: -25%
Slashing: -25%
Blunt: -50%

So even with my level 57 DRG I have to rest every so often. A healing fellowship is also recommended, as it will lower downtime you may have at lower levels. A RDM/THF would probably be the most effective at farming since the slimes are weak to magic and you could keep up a constant refresh and occasional convert to negate any downtime. At times it can be pretty busy here with people farming slimes, so competition can be fierce at times. Of course theres some more things to keep an eye out for other than the slimes.

Korroloka tunnel is also a home for the Notorious Monster called Morion Worm. Only ranges from level 30-32, so he shouldn't pose a problem to anyone high enough to be farming the slimes. His drops are several kinds of ore, but the most important drop is his Morion Tathlum. Which sells for around 50k in the Jeuno AH. Still Morion's drop rate isn't that good, myself being 2/11 on him but still the chance of a tathlum or maybe a darksteel ore is worthwhile. In order to spawn him, you must trade an Iron ore to a ??? spot found on the ground where other Land Worms spawn. You automatically get claim once you spawn him, so make sure to make a trade macro to do it quicker (/item "Iron ore") The Land Worms supposedly drop iron ore, and so does Morion occasionally but don't bank on those two to get your iron ore, purchase some from the bastok AH, usually around 600gil.

Now Korroloka Tunnel is a rather confusing place, lots of side tunnels and paths on the second floor. A map is very important for those who are new here if you don't know the layout yet. The map can be bought in Rabao for 3,000 gil. But if have access to a PC while playing FFXI, you can also use wiki.ffxiclopedia.org for their maps, which show spawn points for morion and other points of interest. Of course it doesn't show any Jelly 's(the name for the type of slimes here) So in order to aid you in your slime farming, I have created this .swf interactive map to help you in locating them. Which can be found here: http://img214.imageshack.us/my.php?image=korrolokamapca6.swf

Of course I did also implement buttons on all the NMs and whatnot that linked to ffxi wiki for info, but they don't seem to work after I uploaded it to imageshack. But oh well, click on the letters to navigate through the different maps.
