Save yourself the headache (and lost xp) and farm instead, while you wait for a party. :p | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 02-24-2007, 09:14 AM | #5 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: north wales Posts: 7 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 1 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Gil: 563 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 563 Donate | Re: Is it possible to solo my whm,im lvl 41 ok, thanks for advice  Eliee | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 02-24-2007, 11:03 AM | #6 (permalink) | | Loaded With Sodium Oracle of Knowledge Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 7,964 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 448 Thanked 1,591x in 1,001 Posts Gil: 5,147 Bank: 35,221 Total Gil: 40,367 Donate | Re: Is it possible to solo my whm,im lvl 41 You can kill EP very slowly. I've done it several times on both my old WHM and on my WHM SJ on Murphie. It's painfully slow, but possible at that level.
Just be sure to invest in a Holy Breastplate, a nice Hammer of some sort (your AF Weapon works), and be sure to keep Stoneskin up on yourself at all times, while also keeping Paralyze, Slow, Dia 2 and other enfeebles up on the mob you're fighting.
Easier with your NPC companion (slightly) so if you haven't unlocked that yet, now would be a good time. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 02-24-2007, 12:15 PM | #7 (permalink) | Join Date: Dec 2005 Posts: 331 Style: Light - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 132 Thanked 71x in 40 Posts Gil: 5,146 Bank: 42,476 Total Gil: 47,621 Donate | Re: Is it possible to solo my whm,im lvl 41 IIWY, and you're interested in soloing as WHM, I'd definitely look into leveling NIN. With WHM/NIN, dual wielding Hammers, and keeping Utsu and Stoneskin up, you should be able to take on EPs, depending on luck. I'd also bring a NPC buddy out.
It is all about your gear, in the end. Get a set of good DEF gear (Holy Breastplate, DEF/VIT rings, at 50 Phalanx Rings, Look into your RSE, Tarutaru have some rather good pieces for this) and this can become a good/fun way to skill up while waiting for a party. Just do not believe that you'll ever be able to solo for experience.

How about duo'ing or trio'ing instead? I've duo'ed as WHM/NIN with a BST/NIN friend around Lv.40(?) or so.
Find a friend or two with jobs near your level, and see if you can figure out some workable strategies to take down T or even VT monsters.  “ I’m in pain, but I’m happy.”
“ It hurts, but I can smile.”

It's just not worth it IMO. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 02-26-2007, 12:46 PM | #12 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Nashville, Tennessee Posts: 27 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 1 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Gil: 786 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 786 Donate | Re: Is it possible to solo my whm,im lvl 41 yea like these people are saying either group, skill up, farm, or solo with your best gear. also find monsters that are weak (worms, bees, the one bat not 3,ect)also get refresh gear/drink it will help keep up Mp and I advise that if you lose more than 1k exp just stop doing it that day and work on your stratgies!

Yeah, the NPC takes some of your exp, but it's better than dying and losing even more. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | All times are GMT -8.
