Where to Solo as BLU?

[Ruffyreborn]

I recently hit the 50's, but ever since I hit 49, I simply couldnt get a pt. Reason? I have two. Either Not a lot of players have jobs at this lv (which I think is right) or people just dont want BLU, period.

At 49, I decided I would run to Gustav and try to soro (actually duo with NPC fellow) some BST pets, which I often did a lot in the past. But the pets become much stronger, like normally spawned mobs, now. So I ended up dying (lol) wasted NPC and EXP ring. The pets were T-VT leeches.

So, where can I effectively solo?

Hmm, 49 may have been a bit too low for the Goblin's Leeches in Gustav. I remember doing those a couple levels higher than 49 for decent exp. They are level 53-55, so you wanna start on them at like 51-52, I'd say. Sadly, Goblin's Leeches were about the last pet mobs I found to solo for awesome exp. After them, the pets really jumped up in strength, it seemed. Almost normal mob strength, like you said. After that... I didn't really solo much I don't think. Once Lesser Colibris became DC, I soloed some of those, but that's a long ways off for you.

What the hell? The leeches are 53-55 and you can't kill them as a 49? You just have to go balls to the wall on them and they'll die. The only times I've ever died soloing gobbie pets are when the goblin turned right after I pulled the bat (from being impatient).

I wouldn't wait till the bats are 1-2 levels above you. That kind of defeats the purpose.

 

[Ruffyreborn]

dont act so surprised, lol, they will hit you at 49 for 100+ damage a hit, and that leaves, what, room for maybe 6-7 hits, not to mention their double attack. Yeah, I probably couldve finished it had I went "balls to the wall" but I wasnt ready for it to be as hard as it was because of previous BST pets. Guess I just happened to be unlucky, huh.

I dunno. I never had problems with gobbie pets until I got to the Bibiki Bay rabbits. Those things are made of pure EVIL lmao.

wasted NPC and EXP ring.

Dying doesn't kill your exp ring. Liar! Nub! DRK!

Dying doesn't kill your exp ring. Liar! Nub! DRK!

hahahah

I know, but not pt'ing or exp'ing with ring active does waste it

49 should be fine for Leeches with NIN sub. I'd recommend this spell set:

Refueling
Sickle Slash
Jet Stream
Head Butt
Bludgeon
Uppercut
Wild Carrot
Mandibular Bite
Awful Eye
Sprout Smack
Poison Breath

With /NIN you really shouldn't need Cocoon or Metallic Body and you want to blitz them. Pull with a Chakram or Jet Stream, then go Head Butt/Sprout Smack/Head Butt/DD spell/Head Butt/repeat as necessary. Re-Utsusemi after a Head Butt when you have 1 shadow left and keep Refueling up at all times.
