List of Solo Spots

[Chronicle]

I was looking at the topic asking for good solo sopts for level ^% and up, but what about the other levels? If you have ideas for good soloing spots for any level, post it here. That way, no matter what level, we always have something to do while waiting for a party, or maybe even soloing as a preference.

Re: List of Solo Spots

Black Mage soloing isn't really possible until 50, where Ancient Magic comes into play. The information below is a truncated version of this page on Alla.

Black Mage Soloing Guide - For XXXX's Pet

XXXX's Pet: They can be elementals yagado's leechs and or Rabits Goblin's Rarabs Hobgoblin's (There are many others aswell)

Basicly Pet's have low hp amount but can con really high for example an IT might have 2,000HP (in the 50's) whereas a gob pet might have 800hp or so thus making them easy to kill

How to kill: To kill the goblin pets i genarly use AM in the 50's in my case freeze which is 96% of the time 1 hit ko. out of all the AM's i shot off were 1 hit kill (but i got unlucky and resist making me almost die but thanks to blink and earth staff i made it to zone) You can also use 2/3 hit spells which i will explain how to not get agro

Ways to not get agro if resist or lower tier: If the goblin cant see his pet and you cast on his pet up from behind and your behind the mob then in theroy the mob should come after you from behind. (please note like many thfs know summon pets agro by sound and may still agro if you do not 1 hit the yag or demon)

Respawning pets: Normally about 20~40 seconds the XXXX will summon a new pet or elemental thus making it posible to chain. (while XPing i casted AM rested by time i got up to recast i gained 400MP from dark staff and +5 mp cookie and still got chain 5)

Mob Levels and Locations: (NOTE: These are level of the MOB, so try to kill stuff 2-4 levels higher then your current level)

Name Lvl Zone Family
Fomor's Elemental 43 - 49 | Misareaux Coast | Elemental
Fomor's Wyvern 44 - 49 | Misareaux Coast | Wyvern

Goblin's Rabbit 48 - 50 | Cape Teriggan | Rabbit

Goblin's Bat 61 - 74 | Newton Movalpolos | Giant Bat
Fomor's Wyvern 72 - 74 | Lufaise Meadows | Wyvern
Fomor's Bat 72 - 74 | Lufaise Meadows | Giant Bat
Fomor's Elemental 72 - 74 | Lufaise Meadows | Elemental

Notes:
Do not try this if your not willing to die.. YOU will die at some point.

By the time your level 60+ AM no longer 1 hit kills sadly but usly 3 lvIII tiers will or maybe 2 III's and 1 II (Tier means level of spell)

XP will be good and you will have tuns of fun doing this! xD

Some Wyverns only spawn when you hit the mob

Enjoy!

You can also look up pets yourself on Somepage. Just do a search for 's in the level range 50-75.

I did a little bit of this myself, it was fun and exciting. Worst part is when the Beastmaster starts beating on you, if he sees you. I did bats in Upper Delkfutt's and Newton Movalpolos. Two different level ranges, but I forget the levels.

NOTE: Stay away from Wajaom Fomor's Bats, they don't follow the low HP rule. I did a full blast Flare on one once and it barely scratched him. Good thing I did it just outside Al Zahbi.

Re: List of Solo Spots

There's a brilliant solo guide stickied in the BLM forums on Killing Ifrit. That'll take you to Lv70ish from Lv20ish (I believe). Just be prepared to accept death should it come your way - and it will.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Its very possible to solo. See BLMs doing it all the time when I'm out soloing myself as BST or even when I'm about to go burn with some other BLMs in Mount Z as COR.

They can solo and they do so at many levels of the game.

Re: List of Solo Spots

Since SE decided to show us the shaft with the introduction of melee burn parties, it is almost impossible to get a regular party as BLM. The only options for us now are usually soloing, going duo/trio with another BLM or RDM, or go full blown Manaburn.

I did the last... hmm... 60 merit points or so solo/duo on bugs on Mt. Z. So yeah, BLM can solo.

You fail. Have you even taken blm past 35? Apparently, you have more experience than I do on this matter.

Re: List of Solo Spots

I don't believe TP Burn was a feature of ToA as TP burn existed well before that expansion, we just called 'em Arrowburn and Rampage PTs. It took not one EXP buff, but two to three, before people to realized EXPing on VT was worthwhile - that lightbulb had to be shoved into the community's peabrained "EXP per kill" mentality. Yet it was always viable before that.

TP Burn is a community trend. It may be a result of game design, but the players don't have to abide by community trends, so blame the community.

SE doesn't make the trends, all they can do is try to alter them (see SAM job adjustment). They can't make us form balanced PTs.

Nah, ToUA made it a lot more worth while to do so. In case you've been living in a hole somewhere, there is a xp bonus introduced to ToUA areas. This makes long chains of T~VT's (which is what TP burns do) a lot more efficient than shorter chains of IT~IT++ (which is what traditional parties tend to do).


The refresh and regen bonus made roaming parties (again, for TP parties, cause BLMs can't really roam, we need our butts firmly planted on the floor) more sustainable.


Also a bird that mimics spells ( </3 colibris ) again made sure that BLM will not have a place in parties that fought this mob.



Yes, arrowburn existed at some point (and was promptly nerfed), so did a mnk burn and other type of TP burn parties, but they were never this popular and was never 'main stream' before the introduction of ToUA. Just try and find a conventional party that actually wants BLM between the level of 55 and 75. They still exist, but they are rare.


Not complaining though, cause being able to solo for meaningful xp now in Mt. Z pwntz. Just sometimes, I wish SE didn't made us the outcasts in the XPing world.

Re: List of Solo Spots

That seems like a great list, but there is a gap between 55 to 58... what do you do there? x_x
