I’ve about got my beastmaster up to 75 but I started out as a red mage and got her up to level 30 before switching. I’ve always wanted to level her up enough to wear the AF armor and awesome hat so I’m thinking of changing back to her for a while. My time is somewhat limited now so I doubt I would be able to wait for a group and then stay with them long enough without being rude, so it would mostly be soloing for an hour or two each day. I just got back into the game a few months ago so a lot of the information I’ve looked up is out of date and had a few things to confirm.
What is the best way to solo level GoV/FoV or solo mobs in general? Is it to use nuke spells or completely focus on melee or a mix of both? I’d assume it would be nuking unless you have some awesome melee gear to help with Enspells and such. If you go the nuking route which stats besides INT would be useful?
Is it worth using enfeebles while soloing? I’d bet Paralyze is good and maybe Blind for melee enemies and silence for casters. But the mana cost on some of the enfeebles is pretty high and would increase down time.
What is the best subjob for leveling now? I used white and black mage several years ago but a few guides say Scholar is great at higher levels and Blue is good if you’ve learned certain spells. I have a 30 ninja and dancer for my BST sub right now and DNC has been great for cutting out resting.
My typical strategy has been going to a GoV tome and picking an easy page, then staying in that zone so the bonus EXP keeps building up. Its probably slower than getting a group but my time is kind of funky. I don’t suppose there is a better way to
