No. Why would you want to anyways? WHMs are needed in every xp party.

The most you could do is easy prey, and even that's difficult by yourself. Save yourself the headache (and lost xp) and farm instead, while you wait for a party. :p

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.

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.





"One day I shall come back, yes I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, and no anxieties.
Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine."

Re: Is it possible to solo my whm,im lvl 41
Also, if you have BST leveled to the same level as your WHM, you can solo pretty effectively [T/EM/DC's] as WHM/BST (e.g. your BST must be 41, or pretty close for this to work effectively).

Re: Is it possible to solo my whm,im lvl 41
Solo'ing may be difficult without already having a BST 41 or higher under your belt to enable WHM/BST play. 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.

Even if you do have an NPC for support, the xp will be even more less than it would be if you were soloing EP. It's just not worth it IMO.

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! Good luck!

Re: Is it possible to solo my whm,im lvl 41
The wording ("even more less"?!) is a bit confusing, but maybe Mog is referring to the 30% cut to the player's exp when killing monsters with fellowship NPC out.

I know what he was referring to. Yeah, the NPC takes some of your exp, but it's better than dying and losing even more.
