Just thought Id update this thread, as I recently tried this BLM solo thing on my 33 BLM seeming as I couldnt get or make a pt.

So I went to The Sanctary of Whatever, and here are my experiences.

I went as BLM/NIN - 1 for Dual Wield Solid Wands (+INT FTW) and also, more importantly, Shadows, ate Melon Pie for +INT.

Went after the Goblin Leeches, and although I died a few (actually, quite a few) times, I would still recommend it. My deaths were down to bad luck and impatience.

It took me, on average, 3 spells to kill a leech, for 200+ exp per go. I got chain 2 somehow with emp band for 375 - this as solo blm was amazing for me.

I pulled with Stone II, making sure I was in an open spot, and followed by either Firaga then Blizzaga or Stone II again.

I could rest and wait for the Gobby to resummon the Leech again, and by the time it done that, I had recovered most of the MP spent. I could also do 2 full kills without resting.

Id say of 20 leeches I killed, i got about 4 resists which got me killed. The other deaths were due to bat aggro, and twice was me HP'ing back to the OP, and not checking coast was clear so dieing again from aggro :p

Definately a fun experience.
