one thing i learned while soloing is that the tarus mobs will always be in the way. best thing i found to do is wait for them to move, as soon as they stop, go behind them, throw the assault macro, and book it out of there before the tarus moves again. it is not likely that it will make a 180d turn, but i have died to that before.

always keep a scroll of insta-reraise and insta-warp handy for emergency situations.

at 64 i moved to the Akselloak camp in the Northern part of the map. carby can die pretty fast on a berserked IT++, but nothing a elemental pact cant handel.

this camp is dangerous, but there are less tarus around "most" of the time. the other day 90% of the mobs in the zone were at my bomb camp, 5-6 tarus, 4 eyes, 2 elementals. so i got up and cleaned my room a bit w~

good luck on your hunts.

i'm currently a lvl 41 smn i was just curious if there was any particular place for me to solo and mak esome decent exp, i'm new to the board and i have to say these forums kick ass!!!!

i dont think it is quite possible before 51 with the light staff and carby mitt mix. that makes for a -6 to perpet i think. if you hit 0 perpet, you can solo. anything else, you really cant do it without running out of mp. some bombs take me 30 carbies or more, and my mp would just be gone by then.

at 65, i have vermil cloak, carby mitts, and apallo's staff. i am regen 1 mp a tick with carby out. that makes for a good solo time. the next increase will make me break even. no gain / no loss. hopefully, by the time it goes negitive, i will be at least 71, and i can get evokers ring for another -1.

Tell me when your 70 Alex so we can go hunt for some other Summoners and do Fenrir for your Evokers Ring. :love

why thank you hix thats very nice of you.

i got 66 last night and i am 3k into it. got about 8k yesterday, so wasnt too bad. it shouldnt take me to long to get there

I started soloing in garlaige citidal with hellmines. This was crap, there is too many obstacles, bats beetles and skels. So I moved to Ifrit's. The nice thing about Ifrit's is there are 2 zones. The east zone is a little lower and you can fight around 55. The west zone is higher. i was still getting 200-260 on bombs there at 62. Sometimes I would only get 88. I moved to UR and tried the Morozkos. This is a little harder than ifrits because the fight area is a little smaller and those stupid bronts were always close. I am now 6k from 66 so I am thinking about going to the next zone. One thing I really like is the Austere set, it gives me - perp cost and I dont get the - avatar enmity. My only problem is that in the morning it is sometimes hard to get a teleport-vazhl

[spira]

if you can afford it.. get the Vahzl ring, or use Airship to Home City > Outpost teleport if you did supply quest for the region.

[Alexandria]

i outpost warp all the time. cost anywhere from 600-1600 depending who controls the region.

i usually go kill the black dragon when i teleport to make the cash right back

hello guys, i just hit 51 and allthough it seems thats the minimim lvl for soloing its not the reccomended lvl right??

well anyway, i just tryed soloing hellmines becouse i didnt get much joy from the volcanic gas's, i killed 2 successfully (hellmines) but then the elementals started to spawn so i had to go out of the room and into the larger room, which was my downfall, but i expect it would be good when theres no elementals (actually it was good) i got 250 without chains at lvl 51 on hellmines btw

there was a bst there giving me crap cos apparently only 4 hellmines spawn and he wanted them all to himself like no one else has any right to them....he also tryed dirty tricks like leaving his beetle in middle of room or releasing when i was running by.....not a nice person.

anyway, i see volcanic gas's are reccomended at lvl 54+ but i have only been to ifrits couldren once, is there a map or something with the camp spots on it and paths for kiteing??....simialar to the UR one above..

nice to meet u guys/gals ty and cya.

[spira]

cool.. at least we have 1 person who has proven that at 51.. you can do hellmines.

I'll add that to the original post.

Theres a contributed pic link there for one of th possible paths u can take in Ifrit's

[Bludd_Raven]

i was just wondering if dolls were an option for soloing cuz they blow up too. I was thinking about the dolls in beau. glacier. I'll be trying it tomrrow, and I'm at lvl 41.

[spira]

yes dolls are an option too.. they're not as simple to work as bombs, nor as complicated/risky as gobbies.
If you can find a good area to solo these for exp in the northlands, do share

[Bludd_Raven]

meh, without invis its really hard to get thru beau. glacier...but i did find that death jackets in crawler's nest to be vivable, IF you have carb mitts.

[Tsukasaz]

death jackets for final sting? =o
i never thought about wasps

[spira]

death jacket / bees in general are ok to solo cos of final sting.. but they typically do final sting when their HP is like <30%.. and if they so happen to use Pollen ever so often, then you'll be fighting for ages.

[Bludd_Raven]

well they are in crawler's nest, so you can solo them while you wait for parties. They are Decent at 45, so I think you should be able to try it at 40~ so you at least got sneak incase of a train.

[Tsukasaz]

lol ok, thanks. I'm almost 37 now... in a party with 1.3k tnl. I'll try at 40 =)

[Alexandria]

just as a note to those who want to try dolls in Ru'Aun gardens, dont.

i tried them, and they didnt blow after 30 carbies, and their berserk is worse then a bombs. i almost died when the thing ripped carby apart. dolls are best left to the solo fighter, not solo detonation runs.

[Nicholas]

For those with sea access, those doggies, the hpmendes, are great...when they open their mouths, they take mega damage. I just hit 70, I sic'd Ifrit on one and just let him melee. As soon as it opened its mouth, I did Flaming Crush and bam 2173 damage. This fight went much faster then a bomb fight, was much safer (only one summon), and while the xp wasn't as much, it can drop organs needed for belts and such.

[Orage]

Nich, i love those mobs too. When mouth is open, they give and take double damage. I typically will pull with fenrir and run away to let fenrir die. When the mob comes, i bring out garuda and 100% of the time, their mouth is open when they arrive. Predator claws mops them up (i think i broke 3k >.>) and then i'm off to the next. So far i have 5 organs and 1 tissue solo. Too bad i need 4 more tissues. >.>;
