Detailed Solo Guide - Lv. 19-70Follow

Just a little comment on the 49-54 Goblin's Leech.

I found myself waiting quite a bit for the Goblin Sheperd to crawl his behind back to me so I wouldn't aggro the other mobs when i used the suggested camp. Then I saw another Blm camping at the entrance of that route (right when the map changes in Gustav Tunnel). When he left, i decided to give it a shot. Much better alternative. There will be bats lurking behind you but no worries, they're easy prey. Also there's a rock there you can hide behind as you rest. So u can just blast off a Freeze, heal, and repeat. Great chains and much faster Exp/Hr!!

I had a really rough time in Gustav at Lvl 50. Couldn't 1 shot the leeches as Elvaan with RDM or NIN sub. Got them down low enough that a hit from ice spikes would kill it. My biggest problem was that since I could not 1 shot them I had to wait sometimes up to 10 minutes for the Goblin to turn around (he was looking directly at my camp 85% of the time. When he wasn't looking right at me the other goblin or the crab were always placed where I could not make a pull. I had almost every +INT I could get for level 50, only could have gotten a couple more INT, but the gear wasn't available. Also was using Moldavite, and have Elemental merits from my RDM.

It was a very frustrating time, took me 4 hours to make 4k exp. I should have just went back to Terrigan, but I was stubborn and was trying really hard to make it work.

Level 51 changed everything it is a great camp at 51. I managed to reach level 53 in a couple of hours.

In summation, if you are level 50 and Elvaan, you may want to wait until 51 before migrating here, unless you can manage +32 or so INT, or have INT merits.

Edit. Wish I had read the post a couple of posts up from mine before I failed so miserably at 50 here. Maybe the other camp he is referring to could work better.
