The Phon Coast
Welcome to the beautiful Phon Coast. There are many sections to explore and poor quality treasures to be found all over! The first few areas are merely generic stretches of land with nothing of any particular note. Feel more than welcome to wander around at your leisure and eventually make your way southeastward toward Hunter's Camp. You'll find the exit leading there at the northeast corner of The Hakawea Shore.
A cutscene will occur upon your arrival. There is some great new equipment available here at the merchant, and a Save Crystal nearby. You need to be extremely careful if you're buying heavy armour because the Mirror Mail has an auto-reflect status built into it. This can be helpful in some cases, however you may want to opt against it so you can still heal your party with magic.
Northwest of the Save Crystal at the top of the hill you can purchase a map of the Phon Coast from the Moogle. When you're ready to leave, take the north exit.
ZODIAC SPEAR ALERT - The southeast exit from Caima Hills takes you to The Vaddu Strand. Over on the far east side (not up the hill) you will come across 16 treasure chests in a 4x4 grid. One of these chests cannot be touched if you wish to get the Zodiac Spear. Rather than attempt to explain which one and chance having you get it wrong, I will instead say not to open ANY of them (nothing but stashes of 200 Gil or Knot of Rust) until you have the spear. Once you do, then you can come back and get the pathetic amounts of money they hold.
With all this out of the way, it's time to progress north toward the Tchita Uplands.
