Teegrins, and balcome weck, Sharlene!


To one of the questions that seems to not have been answered, I would say yes: it is possible to solo to level 99.

Even more so now than ever before. As was mentioned, Abyssea parties probably happen a lot less nowadays (I'm bad at telling though, since I never really participated on those), but that never was a thing for me in the first place. I almost always leveled up either alone, or with a friend or few.
After the introduction of Abyssea, I would mostly make use of Dominion Operations, which would allow me to gain rather quick experience points, and later on, seals to upgrade the empyrean armour (to +1) as well.

The recently introduced, and mentioned, Trust (or Faith) magic can not (yet) be used over at Abyssea, however, and I can't really tell which is faster now, to solo in Abyssea or outside, with the creep- I mean alter egos.

Likewise a freshly new addition, Records of Eminence is certainly something that will help a bunch whether you head for Abyssea, or stick to our home dimension. There are some objectives that can't (yet) be completed over there, but for others it is possible.

You may be interested into restoring your artifact and/or relic armour to previously unseen forms.

The official primer probably says all this, too, but I figured I'd add something from player to another.


If you have more questions to ask, go ahead, at least some of the community is (usually) more than willing to answer!

Best of luck, and again, welcome back!
