24 Mnk, Brd Duo, possible? Help plz.

[Nitram]

Need some help/tips here

My friend is a 24 galka MNK and I'm a 24 Hume BRD. Trying to get partys together really blows. I was thinking that maybe we could go out and duo a little for exp/items. Since neither of us craft I'd be interested in getting some farming done while making even a little exp. We both have NPC's and exp rings, and I'd assume we'd need em. I figure with him doin dmg and tanking and me buffing and healing and doin smal dmg we could kill some not so tough things. Questions:

*what could we fight? and where?
*what items should we use?
*subjobs?
*is it even possible?

Thats my main topic here but just incase this wouldnt work were gonna need a static, I'll post in event scheduling if this doesnt work out. I hope it does though!

You could probably duo for exp... though a DD and a Support don't really go hand-in-hand very well. If anything, try and get a NIN or a WHM or something for a trio.

A few ideas:

When your bard hits 25, you will definitely be able to find a pt, given that you have mage's ballad. If you and your friend have a kazham airship pass, go there and make sure that a pt knows to invite you and your mnk friend together.

If you really want to try xp'ing/farming in a smaller group, I'd suggest grabbing a war/nin to tank and for a stronger skillchain, then you might be able to main heal as a brd/whm (with ballad and good MP+ gear).

The three of you might try Berry Grub (crawler-type) in Rolanberry or Ba (bird-type) in Batallia. If you're interested in farming at the same time, crawlers are a good mob to xp on, especially with a smaller pt to split those juicy drops. They should range EM-VT at your lvl. If those turn out to give low xp you can instead fight beastmen-type mobs (goblins and quadav) in those same zones. They should be T-VT at 25.

One thing to potentially worry about is the lack of CureIII that a whm would bring to the pt at that lvl. Also missing ProtectraII will make a big difference, but that won't be a factor until 27.
