Hi, With all the new ilv119 equips, Abyssea has become a empty wasteland, barring a few merit worm parties.
However, many jobs, mostly mage ones, still highly benefit from the equips - meaning anyone who still needs things from abyssea is probably going to be on their own unless their LS helps them.
Many of the equips I still need require drops from mobs that first, require several key items, sometimes even the result of 5 or more NM fights, each of which may or may not drop the item needed to proceed, followed by an abyssal droprate, unless you happen to score a proc on it.
The problem is that being solo, you can only get a select few of the procs, so you're left spamming low level nm's to get key items to pop the big baddie again for a 10% drop rate on something you need six of.
I've solo'd a few of my whm emp+2 pieces as summoner, then realized I still need emp+2 for a lot of jobs if I want to play them seriously - bard, scholar, summoner, blackmage, redmage, whitemage all are jobs that benefit highly from emp+2, and thinking about how much time will be spent popping low tier nm's really puts me off doing it.
I played around in Abyssea-Konschthat and learned about the garuda NM that potentially half-caps Amber Light with just one kill, and made gold box farming a possibility without sinking hours and hours into building up amber lights. Little things like this aren't really explained in the wiki, and you have to dig a bit and read a lot to find it.
What are some tricks you've learned to get the emp+2 pieces you need? What job do you think is the best to solo on if you don't have access to a duobox? Please help. Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
