nowadays its "CP Parties". They take place pretty much exclusively on mobs in XP-style parties that are known by the tag "Apex" (such as Apex Bat, Apex Crab, etc). They function in the exact same manner as old EX parties with all the varying flavors: DD burn, SC-burst, and the like.
Camps for these mobs are in the zones connected to the Secrets of Adoulin expansion, and aren't the easiest to reach at times, especially for a new player. Getting your outpost warps will help tremendously. Outside of the Apex mobs in Inner Ra'kaznar, most Apex mobs are similar in accuracy requirements (Inner are of a slightly higher level)
Unlike meriting back in the day, there are more solo options available for earning CP (Job points), of course not as fast, but manageable enough to where you can feel like you've at least done better than sitting on a stool in Mhaura for 2 hours and accomplished something. You can earn "ok" beginner CP solo (with trusts) in Reisenjima, and thus be accomplishing multiple goals at once- building CP, building Eschan Silt, getting kills that count towards "Total Kills" Vorseals. Again, not the fastest CP, but for a beginner/returner, its a good way to multitask.
