Special Notes on Monster and it's TP Moves

Mamool Ja Fighters are the Brown Skinned Mamool Ja. They come in five job types; Beastmaster, Blue Mage, Dragoon, Ninja, and Thief. They all have high evasion.

Warm-Up raises Accuracy and Evasion by about 40 points. It makes the caster very hard to hit.

Firespit and the four-fold damage moves can deal serious damage.

 

Obtaining the Spell
Minimum Blue Mage Level Needed To Acquire Spell: Level 59 with Magus Jubbah equipped, 62 without.
Warm-Up is best hunted in the Wajaom Woodlands.

This spell can not be soloed. You will need a small party, or a skilled Level 75 solo-class (BST, NIN, RDM). A basic experience party set up will work very well. A 68 BLU/BST can solo it at camp 1C.

Party members should have a way to Dispel Warm-Up, so setting Blank Gaze or Geist Wall is a plus. Having a way to silence a monster is a huge help. There is aggro on the way to camp, so Sneak and Invisible spells or items, or a Chocobo to get to camp is needful. A warp item will save a long walk home.

Mamool Ja Fighters Hunting Grounds Camp #1C
Name Level Location
Mamool Ja Mimicker (BLU) 72-73 Wajaom Woodlands

 

Both camps A & B in this zone are about equal. Zone into Wajaom Woodlands and proceed to D-10 or D-12 on the map. In both camps, there are tunnels that zone into other areas, this is your safe camping area. There will be sight and sound aggro on the way to them, so take precautions. Taking a Chocobo to camp is a perfect solution. Hopefully the Chocobo stable NPC has not been kidnapped! At either camp you will find four Mamool Ja. In each, there are two Brown Skinned Mamool Ja Fighters who can teach you the spell. Camp A has a Blue Mage and a Thief, Camp B has a Ninja and a Thief. Choose the camp that has what you prefer to fight. The Thieves have very high evasion. The Blue Mage will cast a lot of spells, and make you sad you can't do as much damage with them as he. The Ninja uses powders that can hurt.

Pull the Mamool Ja down to the safe camp in the tunnel and treat them like an experience monster. They do aggro by sight and link, so take care with your pulls. You may need to kill the Mage type Mamool Ja to keep your pulls of the Fighters clean.

A average party should have no problems in these two camps.

There is a Lone Blue Mage Mamool Ja Mimicker located at H-12 in a small path that leads to Mamook. There is a Raptor near him also. When you pull take care to avoid it. This Camp is marked as C on the map above.

A 68 BLU/BST can easily solo the Mimicker with local pets at Camp 1C. There are plenty of pets to use; The attercops work well, but you can use pephredos in a pinch if you need an emergency pet. You could even Charm puks if you are a risk taker, starting the fight with one can work very well. Sticking with attercops (be careful, they link) is the safest path though. Put pet after pet on the Mamool until the Mamool is nearly dead, THEN finish it off with your Blue Magic in hopes of learning the spell. It is best if you put a very large distance between yourself and the Mamool when you are getting ready to charm a new pet, this will allow you more time to recharm if your charm fails. Also, keeping Zephyr Mantle up (casting outside of hate range of the Mamool) is highly recommended.

 

Mamool Ja Fighters Hunting Grounds Camp #2
Name Level Location
Mamool Ja Bounder (THF) 73-75 Mamook
Mamool Ja Zenist (NIN) 73-75 Mamook

If you seek some more targets, you can zone into Mamook from Wajaom Woodlands at D-12 on the Woodlands map. In the circled area you'll be able to easily reach four Mamool Ja, two of which are fighter class. They are a tiny bit stronger then in the Woodlands. Be sure to stay on the path around the edges of the area marked above. There is a lot of aggro in the lower center area.

Treat Mamool Ja here like a regular experience monster for your fights, and move your camp to each mob rather then pulling. They do aggro and link, so take care. You will need to kill the two Mage type Mamool Ja to reach all of the Fighter types. Watch out for Somersault Kick, as it's knockback effect can toss you off the path into the aggro area below.

A average party should have no problems in this camp.

 

Mamool Ja Fighters Hunting Grounds Camp #3
Name Level Location
Mamool Ja Bounder (THF) 73-75 Mamook
Mamool Ja Mimickerr (BLU) 73-75 Mamook
Mamool Ja Spearman (DRG) 73-75 Mamook
Mamool Ja Zenist (NIN) 73-75 Mamook
Mamool Ja Strapper (BST) 73-75 Mamook
Mamool Ja Infiltrator (NIN) 81-83 Mamook/Bhaflau Thickets
Mamool Ja Lurker (THF) 81-83 Mamook/Bhaflau Thickets
Mamool Ja Mimer (BLU) 81-83 Mamook/Bhaflau Thickets
Mamool Ja Pikeman (DRG) 81-83 Mamook/Bhaflau Thickets
Mamool Ja Stabler (BST) 81-83 Mamook/Bhaflau Thickets

There are Higher level Mamool Ja Fighters deeper in Mamook and in other areas. The Lower ones are not much harder then the Mamool Ja in Camp 1 or 2, but areas deeper in the zone have a bit more aggro, and camps are harder to reach. A basic experience party can deal with these. The 81+ Mamool Ja are for Merit Parties. Not Recommended.
