I did the one you did at nanawa last night Corpus Adamance. I will first recommend you use the next few leve resets and saved GA for leveling ur thaum and conj to 20 for the heals. you're short on the ability to cure yourself so when impish incantations hits you do not have enough cure to regen urself to a safe health level.

I am currently levelling 3 classes to 30 and my pug is also 28 almost 29. I know what happened and I will walk the leve through with you to ensure you can get maxiumum sp out of it. Corpus Adamance solo with GA at your rank 2 star is easily doable I did it last night and I have zero HQ gear just a more available skill set then you.

When you launch this leve have just protect in your bar with Sacrifice 2 and Cure 2 set that will allow for fast heals when needed after impish incantations. Also to enhance your dmg I would level Arch to 10 for raging strike as well I see your shield skill is rank 20+ take Shield bash and Aegis Boon and add that to your bar and 1 or 2 good weapon skills. that should have you with all the tools you need to beat this leve from a skill and stat side.


Now onto maximizing your exp and SP from this leve. At 2 star you can easily do this with what I proposed above and in no time beat it. Now when you start the leve make sure to attack the wisps first that way you can get the brightash they drop. Then once you have the brightash use it on the ladybugs to detect if they are ladybugs or devlits if not a devlit then attack it and kill it. If the devlit pops then run away from it until it disengages you and then leave that one devlit for last and kill all the other leve mobs and then the devlit last. This will ensure maximum sp for the leve.


I do strongly urge you to level both conj and thm to 20 first and archer to 10 take the few skills you need and you won't have a single problem. That leve alone should net 3-5k sp if done properly.
If after that you still have problems I would asses how you play the game.

also check out my character on the lodestone Speeral Olbodra you can see I have all the base classes to about 20 and a few over. This has been instrumental in helping me have higher stats and more skills/tools available to me as I level.

Zumi, this is a good guideline for you, also I want to add to this is get as much guild mark rewards for your conjurer so you can have the abilities such as Fastcast (which allows you to heal quickly, i think its a 20% increase in casting). If you want to really be uber in soloing, I suggest that you rank up THM as well to 20 so you can buy the ability Firm Conviction (can be bought with THM guild marks, rank up Pugilist to 20 and buy the ability Prime Conditioning (Increases healing effects on you by 10% - can be bought with PUG guild marks).

Please note that these abilities can be used in any DOWS jobs.

Sure it will take you sometime but its all worth it, this is pretty much how my leveling style is.

In FFXIV world, the more you have access on many abilities, the uber you are especially when soloing. Im currently working on my Archer, which is currently rank 25, but since I have alot of access to many abilities, I am able to combine them. My DD ability is beyond my expectations when I solo. I still use warped arrows but my DD output with raging strike+ferocity (Lancer)+multishot is amazing. In addition to that I use Protect(Conjurer)+Stygian Spikes(THM)+Sacrifice 2(THM)+Cure 2(Conjurer)+Defender(Pugilist) so I never have to run out of MP and I can survive longer on IT mobs.

This is the main feature that I love about FFXIV -- the horizontal leveling, it allows the players to be more creative in terms of mixing up the abilities from all the jobs to pimp out their toon's performance. Unlike in FFXI where the subjob abilities are capped.
