HorizonXI
Beastmaster Leveling: 20 to 30
BST / WHM · All researched zones
This uses HorizonXI Charm camps and includes routes with lower-level targets. These routes use charmed pets, not jugs. Horizon's jug-pet changes apply to BST main, not /BST, and pet food also has server-specific changes.
Camp technique: Choosing and Managing Pets as BST or /BST
10 levels with listed camps.
BST / WHM Fighting And Recovery
Keep another pet close by and keep your own weapon skill leveled. Find a pet and target you can fight repeatedly before trying something stronger.
Ability access for levels 20 to 30
- Blink: not available during this route. You'll need WHM 19 at the displayed support level.
- Stoneskin: not available during this route. You'll need WHM 28 at the displayed support level.
- Reraise: not available during this route. You'll need WHM 25 at the displayed support level.
You'll still need to learn the scroll before using a spell. Anything that unlocks at your goal level belongs to the next part of your leveling, not the fights covered here.

Level 20 to 23
Buburimu Peninsula
F-7 / G-7 and G-6
This is a Horizon option using lower-level targets. Look for fights you can repeat comfortably instead of a mob that takes most of your pet's HP to kill.
| Monster | Recorded Level | Use | Select at stage start |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cape Coney | 20 - 22 | Charm pet | 20 - 20 |
| Zu | 20 - 23 | Charm pet | 20 - 20 |
| Mighty Rarab | 15 - 18 | Target | - |
| Sylvestre | 15 - 18 | Target | - |
| Zu | 20 - 23 | Target | - |
Getting There
Enter Buburimu from Tahrongi Canyon or Mhaura. Scout F-7 / G-7 first; the Cape Coney option is reported around G-6.
Watch For
Check each Cape Coney before Charm and watch Goblin patrols. At the upper end, confirm that the lower targets still award experience.
Encounter Notes
- Mandragora target: Dream Flower can put everyone nearby to sleep. If your pet can hold the target, give yourself some space. Finish recovering and get the fight under control before pulling anything else. Different types of mandragora don't all use the same moves. Family reference and sources

Watch For
Flytraps can resist Charm. Watch night bats and fog-time bombs; confirm the landing instead of following dots across an inaccessible section.

Ordelle's Caves · Map 1, H-8 leech room
This is a small camp to try if your first choice is busy. Check both the pet and the Goblin carefully before pulling, because the levels matter on both sides.

|---|---|---|---|
| Poison Leech | 25 - 27 | Charm pet | 25 - 25 |
| Goblin Gambler | 22 - 26 | Target | - |

Getting There
Use La Theine Plateau F-7 to enter Ordelle's, then locate the leech room at H-8 on Map 1.
Watch For
Pull a leech out of its group before Charm. Skip higher-level Goblins rather than trying to force a chain.

Encounter Notes
- Slime charm pet: Slimes take less physical damage, which can make them good pets against melee mobs. They also resist Charm. Keep an easier pet nearby as a backup, and switch to it if the slime keeps resisting. Family reference and sources

Preparation And Fighting Plan
WHM support starts at level 10, assuming you've leveled it enough to keep it capped.
Start with a pet no higher than your current level. Ideally, pick something at your level or one or two levels below it. The selection column shows which part of the listed range fits the start of that stage. You'll still need to check the actual mob. Use /check and Gauge before trying Charm.
Don't try Charm when you're low on HP/MP. Find a backup pet and a safe place to rest before pulling. Let your pet start the fight before joining in, and leave room to react if Charm fails or wears off. CHR helps you land Charm. Charm+ mainly helps it last longer.
Leave is unavailable at your starting level. You'll get it at BST 35. You can't rely on releasing and immediately charming your pet again. Be ready for Charm to wear off, and leave yourself a way out.
Reward is available at your starting BST level.
Slimes can take physical hits well, but they resist Charm and can be hurt badly by magic. Choosing physical resistance favors suitable slime camps. It doesn't make a slime above your level a safe choice.
Pack Before Leaving
- Silent Oils and Prism Powders if you can't cover the trip with Sneak and Invisible spells.
- A way out if things go wrong, recovery items you can use and a Reraise option if one is available to you.
- Pet Food Alpha for Reward. You can move up to Beta at character level 24.
