Regular EXP PT's in Aht Urghan without the Astral Candescence

[Tristam Green]

Thanks tips, but last I checked the title of the thread was "Regular EXP PT's in Aht Urghan without the Astral Candescence".

Soloing is fine, except for the boring part. LOL

Hi5 except for the soloing part.

Soloing sucks no matter what.
Duoing is bearable, especially with a friend.
Partying is king.

I don't quite get what you mean. Are you saying BLMs are stupid for bitching about those who want to exp in ToAU areas, simply because the party members will accept other areas?

No, I'm saying BLM's KNOW they won't be welcome in parties fighting colibri - which is what the OP is complaining about. Use that knowledge for those lvl's where colibri parties are so popular instead of complaining about the obvious - build your own fucking party and go somewhere else because yea, nobody wants a Freeze spell reflected on them -.- And if someone wants to leave because they think colibri are the tits, use your knowledge and explain to them that guess what? ToAU is an EXPANSION there were other places to xp that are just as good for a different kind of setup prior to ToAU that are just as good (well that's a little bit of a stretch but use your imagination).

Right. I suppose I misunderstood you. Like I said in my post though, said party hadn't even gotten a sixth yet, so we hadn't decided on a camp yet. One person, not the PT leader, however, had evidently decided where *HE* was going, and blatantly said "just ditch the BLM and grab another melee" in party-chat (an ass move).

I agree, a PT leader should not be even inviting Black Mages to a Colibri/Greater Colibri pt at all. However, it makes no sense to be a dick when a) a member isn't the PT leader, b) the camp hasn't been decided and c) when there isn't even a full party.

For me, duoing > partying. May be a little slower, but you can take breaks whenever you want, you can farm crafting mats and seals, generally less camp competition, and you don't have to worry about fuckheads who don't know how to play.

Is why your BST is 75?

I dunno, the thing with Duoing to me is what you said Linh, but sometimes i just need a pick up in the pace for exp and what not, especially since i am currently in LOLdunes lvl range duoing is all i have...

My husband and I both play, and we duo a lot together. We duo-merit together, we level low level jobs together, we do missions/quests together. We have mostly the same play schedule (though he has a little more time than I do), so it is super easy. And I guess we get along pretty well, too... LOL

BLM too. I also solo'd WHM from 72-75 /BST. The only noob I had to deal with was me.

You would get along great with my husband. 75BST solo'd. 75THF solo'd /BST. 75BLM duo'd with my RDM partly and solo'd most of the rest of the way. Only reason he's levelling WHM in an xp party right now is because I made him.

 

[Davion]

Only action I get on BLM is in Dynamis when mobs and stones try to rape me or when the wamoura princes try to use cannonball XD.

 

[Tristam Green]

sorry, just can't do it. i do until i die, which is generally on fight #1 or #2, get pissed off, and logout.

i'd duo more with stine but we just don't get to for whatever reason or other.

 

[Kerowynn]

DIE.



; ;

/sad

I haven't really played in a while and I must have missed that on the boards. Poor Otak...

Oh man, I died SO much duoing with a friend's BLM. We always had a couple reraise items until /WHM became plausible. And to be honest, it was the fastest job I've EVER leveled.

Newton was just sick. The exp there was amazing because we had hit 61 or 62, which are the levels when the EXP cap is changed from 250? to 300. The guide recommends to solo at around 64~67 with Flare or pulling the pet. Level 64~67...

...Here's the same camp at 61~62, we left at around 65.






And of course we blazed through the rest of BLM like that, on pets, then hit QiQirns and Pudding Alley.

Sure, we leveled insanely fast, in which a few people THINK I'm insane now...

...But I remember the days of unleashing a 1k SS - 1k Light and a BLM MBing the left over HP. I wish I could be that BLM too, but it wouldn't ever happened unless I bribed a bunch of people or something. ;~;

 

[Xzerper]

I honestly liked the Fisher Camp in Bibiki Bay, fighting Gobs till they exploded. And MB+SCing back in the day with a PLD tank, WAR RNG me RDM WHM BLM. Was super good exp ..the best...

Except for MNK/WARx3 RDM WHM BRD in KRT >_>

Those were the days.

T Now, I understand why everyone likes to EXP in Aht Urghan areas, the Sanction EXP bonus is very nice, and for merit PT's it's the only area that has been able to support the higher chains, so I understand that as well.

I dont know why a lot of people think that. High chains is not new. Before TaU you could get infinite chains in king raperre tomb with monk pts, and with any cannon pt in ullegerand range, and in sky when its empty. I've had chain 50s with thf war drk nin rdm brd on demons/taurus/eyes near where the wyrm pops, and this place was very popular among Jps for merits, not among NAs though. Also Jps tend to merit there even now, when candy is gone.

Ugly range was very popular back in the day, among everyone, not just NA or JP or EU.

yep...had two parties yesterday on smn

the first was one that took 2 hours to get 3k exp in kuftal tunnel because 2 of the melee weren't using food or any acc, I soon left and watched kay get eaten by a haunt.

a few hours later I got a invite to another pt, there wasn't a tank, just 2 sams, me, a bard, sch, and a rng

I got about 2 levels in that pt or about 13k in about 2 hours or so

pts like the latter renew my faith in partying potential but most of the time I'm like fuck it because 3/4 times I get the former.

Hey TG...level 62 PLD {Do you need it?} Stoppin at 65 to be replaced by Stiney is np with me, so in the immortal words of your friend and mine, DMX: Get at me dog!

I leveled there a week ago... not a pleasant experience.
