soloing lv. 51 - 55

[Sir Cledwin]

I was wondering if I could get some help on areas at which to solo level for DRG from levels 51 to 55? I have been having troubles finding locations at which to solo at these levels, and any help would be appreciated.

Re: soloing lv. 51 - 55

hello,

i've been in a static most of my dragoon carreer. but i have solo'd occasionally to catch up on weekends that i was unable to attend static. i found a guide on allakazam's drg forum and it works pretty well. here is a cut and paste table for what to solo when. it works well. basically you stick to mobs that don't have any moves that can one shot you. like the tripple bats jet stream or spiders sickle slash. for your level range (50-55) it says beetles. i would suggest that if you haven't done much soloing yet, that you start off in west altep dessert @ the big devils tower platue thing. fight the beetles there to get the hang of things and then procede to quicksand caves for some good leveling. i like fighting beetls solo, this was a good level range.

Only 3 giant bats in that whole list of mobs?

I would go to somepage.com and look up giant bats and worms. Figure out whats easiest to get too but doesn't have a lot of ppl partying around them.

Just fight things that are weak to piercing, little or no AOE, and have no real threat to one shot you with tp (beetles for example). You will have to be careful since you HB trigger is only 33% (assuming you are subbing blu, rdm, blm or whm). Big Scissors or Power Attack can take 33% of your life.

When you get af helm then it becomes a whole new ballgame.

Just bring some juices and echo drops just in case something bad happens.

It's been awhile since I soloed in those levels, so take my advice with a grain of salt and double check it.

I *think* at about 50 you could try the Werewolf bats in Bostanaux Omelette (sewers in Sandy), camp at the Ronfaure entrance.

However I know I was taking on Funnel Bats in Garliage Citadel by level 53.

Always bring a couple of Yagudo Drinks with you just in case, and you might want to experiment with +def food/vit build vs +att food/melee build, or a combination of them.

It's kinda hard to say which build I like better, defense build you don't get hit as hard, and criticals aren't as bad with enough +vit, but fights last longer. Offensive build you get hit a little harder, but fights are over quicker, it's really kinda hard to say which is best.
