    Yes they are lol. And here is how (speaking from successful experience):
    For the bosses that cast death (to my knowledge none insta-cast death)– you have at least two options. Using a pet job like BST. Let the pet do all the work, sub dnc and have steps ready before you pop it. If you see it casting death, use violent flourish. If you don't stun it in time, you can likely finish it off and/or resummon a new pet.

    Option #2: Rune Fencer with 3 dark runes up– I personally haven't cleared the towns on Rune Fencer solo, only NQ Dynamis Lord, but again, subbing dnc and being ready to stun death is ideal, and the likelyhood you'll straight up resist it is pretty good, especially with gear that increases resistance to death (I believe there are one or two pieces that can be sold on the AH in addition to the gear DL drops himself).

    @Ziyyigo-Tipyigo: I haven't tried soloing beaucidine, but I might tonight on pup. Last time I helped a friend clear it we didn't have any trouble with three people (bst, whm, thf).

    As far as making gil, here are some viable suggestions:
    #1 Salvage. You can easily solo Arrgapogo Remnants II on a variety of jobs. I've personally done it on Puppetmaster, Blue Mage, Ninja (though I think on NIN I wasn't able to defeat the armored chariot quickly enough). I even have a friend who regularly solos it on WHM/NIN (no joke). Even if you don't bother to farm all of the gears and just go straight for the HQ Boss, you'll get between 60-100 alexandrite, and people are buying those like candy. On my server, average going rate is 12K each.

    Do salvage casually, say, three times a week, you're looking at making 2.1M-3.6M a week, or 11.4M per month, or 136.8M in one year (again, that's only going 3 times a week).
    If you're willing to pay 8k for single dynamis currency, buying the currency for an excalibur will cost you 143M gil.

    Other gil generating activities that can be done solo:
    Moblin Maze Mongers. Check if your server has mazes available to do the NMs (mine does). You can go in on nearly any job and solo these, and they drop items required for reforging AF gear often times. These can be hundreds of thousands of gil.

    Crafting! Again, with the way AF armor is reforged, crafters are back in high demand. Consumable items are always in demand as well. I personally don't have a super high level craft, but my cooking is high enough to make pet food and biscuits that generate a nice chunk of change.

    Selling Aht Urhgan currency (yes people still buy this on the AH). Doing some Besieged will get you a lot of points now.


    So assuming you do some dynamis farming here and there, and just one of the activities in additon to salvage you can legitimately create a relic in about one year without being a hardcore player.
