do you think a trio of Ninja's could lvl?
Last night me and 2 other 19 nins just started killing worms in Qufim for a few hours, and easily chained them to 2's and sometimes 3's for 200+ xp per. Now, there was a lot of downtime with ne healer betwen our little chains. has anyone ever tried this? did this only work because it was worms, and something else would tear us up?
thanks ^^

With careful mob choices you could take 3 ninjas all the way, I think. We're powerful soloers. I can still beat Even Matches and Toughs, and even some Very Toughs/ITs if I had the patience to whittle at their massive HP pools :sweat:

The real question is- would it be feasible? No, later you won't get the same kind of experience that you would in a full and balanced group with dedicated damage dealers and healers/support.

If money is not a concern, solo/multiple ninjas can level as high as they want to go.
At lower levels, worms in qufim can be done up to about 27, with the xp dropping off around 25 if you stick to the pond area. If you are careful and attack from maxim range you can continue to xp even with the 2 banshees spawned at night at that spot XD
Higher up, worms really arent worth fighting, left unsilenced their -ga spells counter the ninjas main strength of utsusemi.

Obviously you can get better xp with a full party fighting incredibly tough monsters, but a well prepared ninja can always get experience points solo or duo/trio if you pick the right spot/monsters.

Beetle/crab/scorpion/manticore are the easiest things in my opinion to tackle as you gain levels - anything with slow attacks, weak area effects or poor accuracy is prime ninja prey.
At 64 the safest soloing I can do and get xp chains is robber crabs in kuftal as nin/rng.
Like someone else mentioned if you have the patience you can even solo tough/very toughs with patience but you run the risk of logging back in dead if you ever lose connection :sweat: so I stick to even match or lower myself.

At Lv59 I can solo Robber crabs in Boyhada Tree which are still tough - vt. I only tried with /whm tho because I didn't wanna die.

Yeah /whm sub is alot more resilient(safer+slower) than /rng if you can use a good dagger mainhanded to energy drain the monster and pour the mana into dia/stoneskin/regen/barElement.
Its not nearly as sexy as barrage/slugshot to kill stuff tho XD

[Ozymandis]

You don't need sub WHM to kill crabs. When I'm soloing EM-VT I notice that since they aren't hitting me, and maybe because of Subtle Blow, they rarely use special attacks.

Now if it's a super-long fight like Aquarius, then of course, yah :p
