Does anyone else do this?

[Claxton]

Well, lately I have been leveling in unconventional ways. At lvl 25 on war, me and honcho duo'd tough worms and later crabs for about 3k exp an hour. Then this weekend, me honcho and jussy trio'd the weapons in saur cham for about 3k an hour at lvl 33-35. Has anyone else done something like this? I realize that regular parties can get more exp, but I find a roaming trio helps break up the normal leveling sessions. Has anyone else had success in parties with just 2-3 members? If so, post how you did it etc.

I was war/nin, honcho was nin/war, and jussy was smn/whm. Me and honcho would tank together, with him using the paralyze weaponskill at the start of fights, and me doing berserk+warcry+raging axe to kill the mob. Jussy would also use tail whip for a very nice 150 dmg. It was very fun, and I busted out a 350 raging axe at one point. We had no downtime, and when jussy would get low mp I would use bloody bolts and throw up defender.

Uhhh Ive solo'd my DRK from 1-32 in 16-17hrs dual boxing a BRD for PL =P

PT's suck and waste time... if I could solo fast past Lv35 or so I prolly would solo till 70~.

Actually, @75, myself, Jidade and Prade merited for like 8 merits in bibiki bay trio.

So yah, i'm always in favor of trying something different... Whilst other ppl don't...

I solo the majority of my jobs till 14 usually (+2 rings for whatever the key stat is for the job). I hate 10-14 parties because if im a melee i cant hit, if im a NIN i cant tank, and if im anything else im just the suxor (and galka...).

Get to 14, get some pimp gear, thennn start partying....

Partying shouldnt be required for 65 levels of a job, it would be nice to at least be able to solo to like 25ish before having to join parties. Eventually you MUST party to learn the skills and functions of your job in a party, but not at level 11.




P.S. I solo'd 1500 xp in Zi'tah the other day to get back to 55, took me a few hours, but it was kinda fun ^^

I typically solo til around 12, then party til 24, then back to solo til around 34.

I duo a lot of exp in sea, dolphins are great at a lot of levels 65-73 with a ninja tanking.
