Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 716 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 716 Donate  | Worm solo ... Solo'ed RNG from 12-24 over last 2 days.
The last patch cut spell range for mages by quite a bit; I'm speculating that this also affected mobs, so as of now the worm bug is back (i.e., you can stand at max distance and shoot the worms, and they won't cast a single spell on you), so if you ever wanted to lvl your noob RNG, now is the time 
I'm guessing that S-EX will fix this again eventually; for now I'll abuse it as much as possible. Already skipped Valk and Qufim, hopefully I can skip kazham as well.
Also, solo 300exp in Shakhrami is sexy:  |  | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 07-01-2004, 03:42 PM | #2 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Jun 2004 Posts: 13 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

Thanked 29x in 24 Posts Gil: 40,316 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 40,316 Donate | With the spell range being reduced or not. Worms had always been pretty good to solo for me. When I started RNG my 10 - 18's were in Shakrami Maze, then I solo'd the Worms in Qufim till 25. That was all before this patch ever happened just made it a bit easier I guess. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 07-01-2004, 05:13 PM | #8 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2003 Posts: 91 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

At the endgame, I had: Full AF for RDM, RNG and NIN. Sky, Clothcraft 97, smithing 45 and far too much gil. My Jobs ended at RDM 75, NIN 65, RNG 59, BLM 37, WAR 33 and SMN 26. Finally, I synthed a Royal Cloak /signed/ for a friend.
Time to move on.

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 716 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 716 Donate | Urm I guess I wasn't clear enough, but yes, as of right now you can fire range attacks with reckless abandon against worms, while being outside their spell range. No need to do that hit-and-run tactic, or to eat mass rasp/stonega. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 07-01-2004, 06:45 PM | #10 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Posts: 25 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 54 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 54 Donate | Tested and verified number two.
However, soloing decent challenge worms at lv67 isnt exactly the brightest idea because it takes so long.
I got 31xp from Cave worm (ep), and 61 & 84xp from Kuftal Diggers (dc). You can fight those down where the Phantom worm hangs out, but make sure that the linked worms dont move into spell range.
This does work, but I feel sorry for those that won't experience what it was like to try and run away from a Stonega and get utterly, utterly wasted.
Good luck nonetheless until they fix it lol.

Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 968 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 968 Donate | Lol, I partied all the way through Valkurm and closeted my ranger because I didn't feel like partying (this was weeks before the patch). And RIGHT after the patch I decide to try to solo a worm. I notice that they can't hit me.
...
Basically I thought it was ALWAYS like this. Good to know that it was at least a LITTLE more difficult than it is now. Still sucks that I partied through Valkurm though ><; Finally got Rank 5! *Sings the "I love my Airship Pass" song* | | | ::Quote Selected:: | |
