For anyone else having trouble soloing in Aby, it is important to remember that "Abyssites" are very powerful - and they can be obtained solo via cruor-purchase, quests and by killing easy mobs. Most of us started Aby in 2010 by questing Abyssites to increase our survival chances in Aby at level 80 (lol), we did this before we even tried to get Atmas or ZB wins etc. in many cases.
For soloing, the most important Abyssites are "of merit" and "of furtherance." There are 9 of these in total, 2 can be purchased for cruor from the Cruor Prospector in "Heroes of Aby" zones.
Several of these can be obtained by easy solo quests - which are easy, but you will need to do other easy solo quests first to attain the Fame Rank required for the Abyssite reward quest.
Suggested reading is ffxiclopedia - " category : Abyssite " - and you should scroll down to the 6x "abyssites of merit" and 3x "abyssites of furtherance" part of the page.
Obtaining those 9 abyssites will add +60% HP and +30% MP in Aby, and add +30 to all your Attributes (STR VIT etc.). This makes soloing atmas and Zone Bosses much easier.
And you can solo all these Abyssites, if you spend the time to do the Abyssite quests and make basic solo strategies for the NM-dropped Abyssites. I suggest leaving the Xibalba and Warbler NM Abyssites until last - these are the hardest to solo, for a new player. The other Abyssites can be solo'd easily if you put the Work Ethic into it.
The bonuses from Abyssites are permanent and are activated when you buy the temporary "cruor enhancements" from any Cruor Prospector, you need to do this every time you zone into Aby.

Starcade was banned from the forum (and a whole ton of FFXI-related sites, among others), but according to his blog, they are one of his friends in-game.
