Solo

BST50/RDM25 on Fenrir

Just starting Sandy Mission 4-3 for the Magicite. Is it possible to solo the Quadav Augery Shell and Charm?

I know I can't solo the rest :angry:.

PS Send me a tell if you are on Fenrir and we can pt together can't find anyone that is not anti-bst in pt.

Not as level 50. You're going to need help.

I'm pretty sure a group of Lv.50s can solo the Beadeaux NMs for the items you need, but I don't believe a Lv.50 could solo them. Even if they could, they may run into problems with the links that will happen.

A Lv.60 person could solo anything in that area for you. See if somebody in your LS has a half hour to do this. That should cover travel time there, and getting the items. Once you have the items, you can solo the rest yourself. It's just a matter of Sneak/Invis'n past certain mobs to get your Magicite. Bring Echo Drops for getting past the Mutes.

Minor technial note: a group of players fighting together is not soloing. ;)

Edit: some additional info.

Two target NMs: Go'Bhu Gascon (lvl 41-42), and De'Vyu Headhunter (lvl 45). The only charmable mobs near them are far too low to be effective pets against either NM. You could try using jugs (wait for timer to cool on first pet before engaging). I'm guessing you'd have better luck against Go'Bhu Gascon that way, since he's slightly lower in level, and not as deep in. De'Vyu Headhunter is surrounded by Quadavs that are mid to high 30s, so you're likely to face some big time link issues.

There's only one way to find out if you can solo these NMs using jug pets. I say, give it a shot! At least try Go'Bhu Gascon, since he pops relatively close to the zone.

Umm...I remember solo'ing this mission around 50~ on MNK...shouldn't a BST be able to do it even better? I mean I know it's a beastmen's area, but there are pets around. :x I'd think he could handle it, but maybe I'm just wrong here. And I do know for sure I was at the highest 55 when I did this part of the mission, solo with MNK.

A MNK can 2 hour the more difficult NM and use a Warp scroll to get out. IIRC, the only charmable mobs near De'Vyu are Charging Sheep, level 28 - 30. That means your supply of pets are 15 levels below the NM you are fighting. Those sheep probably won't last more than a few hits, and won't do enough damage to the NM. Broo (sheep level 39 - 41) and Gloop (slime level 38-40) might fare better, but you have to travel deeper into Beadeaux to find them. The mid 40-ish Quads hang out in that area, so you'd basically end up having to dodge Quadavs that are as nasty as the NM itself.

Yes, they can be soloed!

The 'links' around there are all EP, very easy to clear an open camp. Pull Headhunter into it - he's only level 45!!! Forget the local pets, at 45+ fungie will make a huge hole in his HP.

I duoed him yesterday with a 50RDM (I'm 45BST on my 2nd character) and we were both at full health when Headhunter went toes upwards. The RDM had to log, but I went on and soloed Gascon (he's only level 40, so a DC to me) and took him down with no trouble at all.

When I started on Gascon, fungie was almost dead but at full TP, so good for a final sic before I popped another fungie! Total fight time was probably less than a minute and I was lucky enough to grab him and pull him away from other links.

Trust me, these guys are very soloable, and can be a fun fight! Think of this as a challenge, clear the area first and you will have no problems at all! :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the tips, there is only one way to find out and that is try.
