Please note, this thread is just random thoughts of adivce to new rdm's or insecure rdm's
I am only a Lv 66 Rdm, but I love this job, its kept me going in the game, I love the fact for soloing. I consider myself a good red mage, based on comments, both NA & JP. But honestly I give my 110% in parties, BUT the REAL deal I play is for soloing mobs that other jobs, cannot do properly or at all.
Anyways I hope some of these advice helps you become a better soloer.
Most important: Keep your enfeeble capped, and enhancing as close to cap as possible. This will affect your overall preformance.
Crabs are your friends. there easy & ugly yet cute, and have lotsa mp. they make it easy to learn basics.
if you can level paladin or ninja, you will learn spell timing, when to cast, if you play it enough, you will get a basic feeling on when not to cast if its paralyzed. for me, timing is critical to a easy smooth fight. honestly, you brain is a complex machine, wich can calculate %. It only needs practice to give you a more accurate % if its going to hit you or not.
Also PLD is especially nice for shield & parry skills, and either way you would want nin 37 for end game soloing ^^.
Learn your spells, what they do, and use them efficiently to be as mana conservative as possible.
Never be afraid of sleep 2 if you can sleep it, nothing wrong with sleeping a mob. The choice is yours lose 3.5k~ xp later on, or sleep 2, /laugh motion /slap <t> /heal.
Just make sure you know what your mob, and how effective you are. Personally, i would sleep1->sleep 2 on a tough VT, or when i know this is not a hard to sleep->2 as well. In general Sleep 2 is fine, i do so, but for starters do sleep1->sleep 2, when your timing is good sleep 2 only. Build your timing :p
Practice practice practice. I've soloed half a level in the mid 50's just practicing. My first practice was ironshells in my 30's no refresh in Sea serpent grotto. My biggest achievement pre 60 was problably manticores @ lv 50-52 in front of kuftal tunnel, both ninja sub & blm sub. I dont know if others would consider it harder than general for that level, but i personally find it was harder than it's i fight. The timing was impecable ; ;. but i recommend fighting them for real good practice. its fun to watch lvl 55-75's cheering you on, and saying good job.
Encouragment are good. be happy if you get them. I really like to when some of my ls members praise me ^^.
60-62 start helping people with various AF keys, make sure mobs con EM-tough in this case for a smooth practice. This way you will play with a variaty of mobs, other than same thing you practice on. Also AF2 mobs are good practice here. they add some oomf :p
Learn mobs, there lvl, the abilities
Lil note on NM's: just because a certain NM takes 3~6ppls dont be intimidated. just find out its ability and see how you can counter, study your prey.
TWO LAST NOTES~

apple pie threads, he gave the community so many tips and advice. Thank you apple pie :D
High LV RDM Abuse, there ARE some RDM 60-75's that will be like rdm cant do this and that, etc.. its incredible how much in denial they are. There is no standard way for soloing, they have no rights to tell you how. I still know many people who dont believe they can solo minimum a tough crab -.-;.
Anyways i wrote this because I was bored @ work :p.
