Spirit-bonding Parties! Who's experienced at this? I'm just learning now^_^

Just learned a lil' about spiritbonding^_^; how do you guys do it?
Maybe some'yall would wanna spirtbond/chocobo level, or whatevah with me!

Craft Rings/Gear -> Wearing Rings (Rings to assimilate + Meteor Rings, +3SB is best), Spiritbond while gathering mats for Crafting -> lCraft Mats/Rings/Gear -> Proceed to Spiritbinding! So like, would it be more efficient to SPiritbind On Lv49 monsters or 45ish? With Chocobo is only a 170exp and 210exp difference and seems alot faster kills with the lower level, but Idk about the spiritbond rate.

Also! What monsters ya think is most bang for its bucks to spiritbond at? Right now I see Garleans drop Mask worth 100gil, lol, that's kinda good. NOw I wish I had BARD leveled to Spiritbond faster.

What I did was level a PLD to 50, got full DL except accessories (got the belt), leveled Goldsmith to 50 and made a crapload of HQ Amber accessories and put random materia in it (mostly resistance junk materia).

After that I'd run through WP. 4 runs would have me at 100% on each item.

The reason I leveled PLD is so I could get instant queue's in Duty Finder, though. With the Party Finder you could probably create Speedrun groups and complete 4 runs in an hour.

I have no experience with spiritbond parties as I'd probably be completely bored within 15 minutes of killing the same things. The only reason I could keep doing WP was because I kept getting tomes that I could put towards progress for my other classes while making money from Materia.

However, I do know that 8 people killing open-world monsters repeatedly will go much faster than 4 people in WP if you can all manage to last long enough to make it worth it. Only issue you'll really run into is finding enough enemies to kill so you all aren't standing around doing nothing while waiting on spawns because you kill too fast with 8 people.

Sidenote: +Spiritbond stats on items are extremely lackluster. You're best swapping it for another item to spiritbond.

Haha, killing the same things, isn't WP killing the same things over and over?
Healer has - OK - queues for getting in dungeons with accessories (I guess I shall think on that), I don't like queueing dungeons and spiritbonding though, sometimes, as a healer, I gotta be nicely geared to pick up some slack in the party...

But anyways, I guess there isn't much open world content for a full party of 4 to fight things constantly-without getting bored... maybe at best, a 2 man part.y
Sucks, even Beasten stronghold probably can be overun with 2 man groups... wish there was more vast of a outerworld dungeon to use our chocobos in, lol.

Then again, there are FATEs... lol. I'd be the only awkward Lv50 doing FATEs, haha.

I have GSM and WVR at 50... So-

I craft NQ lvl 50 everything real quick. Meld the cheapest / random inventory materia. Hop on WHM or BLM with my bird out. Find something uncamped (eles, boars, frogs etc) so I can farm while I SB.
