I did some soloing in Qufim too. I went after the Wights there with Ifrit. Ifrit just floors skeletons (fire punching attacks

).

Ifrit was also a good choice against bombs in Gugen Mines. He'd even live through self destruct with barely a scratch

A few levels ago, I went after tough and vt gobs in Yuhtunga and Yhoater Jungles. With carby mitts, this is possible, but it's slow. You basically keep recasting carby until the gob blows himself up with a gob bomb

I've tried going after tough lizards in Crawler's Nest, but this is slow too. You'd probably only get 600xp an hour at best doing this

Whatever you do, don't try fighting the bees there. They'll heal themselves forever and you won't be able to win.

If you have Fenrir, you can have him tank for you while you join in the fight. I like this arrangement much better, but you have to stick with decent challenge at worst. Otherwise, if Fenrir dies, you won't be able to get hate off you. I'd do this against the mandies between fighting gobs in the Jungle.

The only time I've been able to get an invite on summoner these days is when I get picked up by a sleepy Japanese party early on the weekend.

There have GOT to be a whole lot more WHMs where you live. Either that or dumb people.

I have as RDM often been paired with a SMN as ALL the healing power in a party. This started as soon as I was big enough to party. It seems to have ended now though.

Another dumb people comment while searching for a sixth: Me, "Look for a BRD" DP, "why? we have you."

Continuing with being off topic...

I tried soloing spiders as a 45 smn/whm in the Western Altepa desert with Fenrir. I fought along with Fenrir as much as I could, liberally using Blink and Regen for when I drew hate (one sickle slash that gets through blink, mind you, and it could be all over). And I ended up recasting Fenrir midway in the fight. So it's not without risk...

I only got 72 xp or so for each fight, but I also got... spider webs... worth 14k each on Alexander.

I'm thinking this could be a good farming opportunity

Hopefully I won't get killed too much
