That's unacceptable and I'm not finishing that job, because it's not worth my time. The low levels need some sort of fix, because it seems like we're not allowed to level up anymore pre-40 without "cheating."
what level are the puks? you should have an easy time fighting things 1 to 2 levels higher than you, and would probably get optimal exp killing same level monsters for chains. Of course grouping is better, but even solo you should be able to get substantially more exp than that. when you hit 30 i reccomend company leves with guardians favor if you get the simple kill all types leve. you ll get a 50 % exp bonus from favor, you will be able to set the levels of the enemies within 3 levels, and you wont get less exp per mob like you do in normal leves. Upond completion you will also get a completion bonus. Its probably the best solo exp you can get i think.

As far as getting to 30, even a small 2 man group helps alot, you can get link bonus, and you will get more chains from faster killing. If you really want to solo, aim for mobs like i said above.
