If you do it right the bomb drops

[Tamashii]

my question is, when gob starts dropping bomb, and you release carby, what happens if it's not his suicide bomb?

Topheroo :
Any suggestions for soloing mobs as a 70-71SMN other than CoP areas? (lol...I've been lazy and haven't finished the promivs yet)

I've sat in Ru'Aun Gardens and watched SMNs solo pots in that range. It usually took 2-3 mountain busters (depending on resists) and then a few rounds of Fenrir melee to finish them off.

Not being a SMN myself I don't know of anywhere else, but having witnessed that with my own eyes I know that it's at least a possibility.

den of rancor, ifrits cauldron, quicksand caves...

[Keyten]

Wow....

Thank you for making this post. Now I can actually do something enjoyable whlie seeking on SMN.

i'd like to add that one fringe benefit of soloing snolls is that you can get snoll arms.. its like semi-farming of bomb ash when u kill the bombs in ifrits cauldron, cept i think its worth more.. (on Ragnarok its around 25k a stack ^^)

[Orage]

You might also add Ifrit's Cauldron around level 70/71. It's not the most amazing xp ever, but I hit 386 xp on chain 2 the other day. I was there to farm up a Bomb Queen Core, which is an added perk.

[spira]

I think they may have changed the Snoll AI during the recent patch, or maybe I was lucky. I was there to solo off the last 3k of lv 71 today.. and the Aglooliks were just blowing up like crazy.. I got 3 of them blow up consecutively on my 1st Carby.. and the others in less than 3 carby castings. I also got my highest solo chain record today ^^


Chain #4 for 420 exp is sweet ^^

(didn't have fraps on so i took a picture =P )

[Tonka]

LoL Rock on!

[spira]

i realise some people dont quite understand which parts of uleguerand is good to solo what bomb and all so i took a map of uleguerand (from vanadiel atlas ^^) and added some detail to it..



the yellow line is the path you take to get to the Aglooliks area.. its pretty straightforward. the green circles is the area which is most suitable to 'camp' while soloing (with the respective mob names next to it), red circle is for jormy..and the red dots near the green circle is the number of bomb mobs near the solo area. blue text is the sightseeing guide of stuff that can aggro u on the way.. (its alot of crap =P but the exp is worth it on solo)

Unlike previously mentioned, the dangers of the Agloolik solo camp area, is only Ice Elemental. You gotta be really careless to aggro the King Buffalos nearby. U'll only pass Jormungand once to get to the camp. hope this helps

edit: this map was for before the mobs were shifted around and isnt accurate anymore

[Tonka]

I can't wait to use that information when I'm high enough of a level. I'll just have to remember where I can find this in about 3 or 4 years.

[meltingdoll]

even while waiting for a party in valkurm as a level 16 i solo'ed on toughs with carby for about 100-160 a battle.

the sic'ing-carby-on-an-enemy-then-running-out-of-range-so-you-can-resummon-when-he-dies thing really works well. it takes awhile, but it helps pass the time while seeking, plus it's a good amount of exp for a lowly level like me. ^^

perhaps i like pretending i'm a BST with an obnoxious amount of mp. ;D

[spira]

thats pretty cool ^^ but i suppose your mp has to be sufficient enough rite? at ur lvl.. carby shd be 2mp/tic. maybe galka SMN can't do what u're doing

[meltingdoll]

well as a taru at level 16 with an astral and a hairpin..plus a staff and a friar's rope that in total all give me about...50+ extra mp, it leaves me with 291mp, but only 108hp. - -;

but i always bring pies, too, so even to a non-taru without that equipment, it should still work okay.

[spira]

do u do Gobbies or other stuff? Cos Gobbies arent a bad idea with Suicide Bomb Toss and all

[kubrell]

Can Explosures be soloed in Garliage Citadel and if so at what level?

[spira]

explosures will be really hard to solo.. I say this cos 1stly explosures are behind gate #1. Good luck getting in first.

2ndly, the area near explosures is pretty dangerous. Pots there aggro magic and undead aggro hp. And even if you did solo there, sneak must always be up.

I'd think soloing them at 46+ will give optimal exp but its highly unadvisable

[Mirouku]

bah, my LS member is a 53 smn (lazy ass didnt wanna join killingifrit) and he asked me whr to solo at that lvl, any suggestions?

[spira]

At 53 I'd say Volcanic Gas will be too tough for your friend.. so probably wait till 55+ to go there, or make do with the bombs in Garlaige (the ones after you drop down the hole)

Dangers there:
Beetles are easy to avoid
Bats can be avoided with sneak
Don't cast magic near pots
Stay clear of the undead tunnel
Be careful during weather effect as some elementals may spawn near by.

[Mirouku]

k..... so should he go to the area where BST's exp or sumthin? i staticed thru 52-64 so i dunno schyte about smn soloing at those lvl'
