Re: MNK Soloing
It depends on whether you care about keeping your combat skills capped or not. If you want Easy Prey, which is safer, but won't let you keep up with combat skills, your Warrior sub should be fine. You could go practically anywhere in Valkurm or Buburimu, or fight worms in Korroloka Tunnel. Just make sure you check stuff first.

If you want to keep your skills capped, you need at least Even Match, and you're going to need to use one of your mage subs, which you should level up first so they're not gimped. You can find some Goblins and such in Valkurm or Buburimu that will do the trick, but you're probably better off going for worms in Qufim (Make sure you bring Echo Drops in case you get silenced).

Re: MNK Soloing
I should mention I haven't actually done MNK/Mage myself, but the theory's there. It might be slow going, and I'd strongly recommend you bring meat or defense food, and some juices and regen drinks (even cheap Selbina milk) for at least the first run to see how you do.

Re: MNK Soloing
Well, if you mnk/whm or mnk/rdm at low levels, each Cure (8 MP) returns around 30 HP (would be lower, because of skill cap). Personally I had done that mnk/rdm at level 20 when I was new to this game. mnk/whm or mnk/rdm solo is okay until Cure alone cannot stop the bleeding.

Re: MNK Soloing
I've been /DNC, on monk and the 5-9 hp return per punch w. Drain Samba I --up allows me to solo pretty efficiently on Monk. I've soloed from 1-22 so far without a single party invite. This whole level sync is starting to urk me because people stick to friends and high level linkshell buddys to party with. Just a pain to get invited these days it seems and I'm not one to organize a party and keep having to look and wait for replacements whenever someone leave. So who knows, I get curing waltz at lvl 30 w. dancer sub. That should make life alot easier. I have H2H already capped out from lvling puppetmaster up, so I mainly stick to 90xp DC - 100xp EM mobs for efficient leveling. I tackle toughs only with full TP and full health.
