Is it even possible to solo the deep dungeon?

[FoxyAreku]

Manticore orbs seem to have a high drop rate on 41 to 50 I imagine that helps a lot.

Today I got to floor 29 with Summoner, but the problem is my Aetherpool armor rating is too low.
It's only at +12 at the start of floor 21. But Aetherpool arm is at +20 (cap until floor 25).

When I reached floor 29, my armor was only +14, so I still die in a few hits.

I managed to take down a couple of the sleep-casting birds this time, but on floor 29 there were 2 in the same room, and then another one walked in when I was fighting them.

Didn't have any witching items (although I just realized I had a Rage item. I should have become a Manticore. What was I thinking!?)

Anyway, I will run with a group to get my armor to +20 and then try again.

Slowly getting the hang of floor 31+ now on BLM Solo. Gonna try to seriously beat it today.

Also in case anyone is interested, Floor 29 and 30 on my BLM

Machinist.
Floor 1-19 were no problem at all.
Floor 20. Got killed within 20 seconds o_O

One Auto-Attack took over 50% of my life, even with defensive buff active. Used healing pot, but then I got killed by its unavoidable AoE and the next Auto-Attack.

I think its possible when you have some selfheals like WHM, SCH, SMN and BLM. Even Monk have a higher chance to survive. But as Machinist, you re an easy target for the 2nd boss.

I made it so far to floor 27 on SCH. I need upgrades for my weapon though its the reason I cannot beat it because I only have like +7 upon entering and armor is like +10 and well the level 41 Palace Wivre two shot me if I don't have Steel active which is a problem so I definitely need more upgrades ><

Many times soloing becomes simply impossible based on simple fact that mobs spawn randomly in any level range what is designated to current 1x to 10x floor, so i had multiple times where on floor 11, 21 mob spawns 12 level higher then yours right next to you, a wipe is given, theres nothing you can do, no pomanders to exploit. That alone is shortsight of programming and implementation. Very fact that healer class is first to solo this type of content or almost all content that is in the game was soloable on healer class given patience proves that trinity type system in general is THE most shitties system ever sought in rpg gaming history. Crutch that healer has become in designing difficulty of content is so damn stupifying that my hate for healer class will never fade as their sole purpose is to double human error in resource managment called hitpoints. Given the trend why not even implement class that does not do damage at all but is sole manapoint generator for healers, that way atleast idiocy of healer being omnipotent class in rpg setting will go away.

It most likely is possible but a pain in the butt. The Deep Dungeon is full of cheap deaths if you're soloing it (land mines, enemies spawning out of nowhere...)

healer hate rant

Err I don't know if there is any proof that another job has not soloed it also so you might be jumping to conclusions with your healer hate. You'd have to search around the player base to see if anyone soloed it on a different role.

Three posts above yours is a BLM soloing it and they are already on floors 31-40 and they seem to be kicking butt in general and BLM is not a healer....

Just fyi mobs do not spawn in a random level range...each mob type is always the same level (IE: Palace Toads are always level 22, Living Whelk are always level 18, Palace Uragnite are always level 20).

If you are getting mobs 12 levels higher than you then you probably did not kill enough to level up (imo you should be at least level 20 when you enter floors 11-20 and level 33 at least when you challenge the boss at floor 20). The largest level gap I saw was 21-30 floors which seems to have a larger jump in levels compared to 1-20 for an unknown reason. Palace Wivre is level 41 and I was level 33 upon initiation of those floors; 8 level gap. It can still be done though since the BLM a couple posts above has already successfully soloed 21-30.

Floor 40 Boss down on my BLM solo run. Video of (super boring) floor 39 and the Boss coming soon.
Floor 41-50 probably quite a bit easier than this...but a little break first!

[Cherub]

Yes. Some already did. But it grants you nothing in addition, so doing it alone is nothing but a huge waste of time.
Well you can say "I did it alone" - Congrats, in that time I finished my second Weapon xD

Congratulations on your weapon but since I already have 235+ weapons, none of them are of interest to me.
It grants me nothing but a challenge which is why people like us are even doing it.
It's no use telling people it's stupid to do because it isn't for us. We're after a challenge and prestige and the feeling of accomplishment. Not some weapons with the ilvl being the same and lower as the ones I already have.

Also, Floor 50 cleared! on BLM Solo. It's not impossible (as DPS)...well maybe for MCH it is :v
