I chose to bunch these 2 VNM solos together since they are really very similar and spawn in the same zones (part of the Blue Abyssite Krabkatoa path).  Unlike the previous VNM solos outlined here, I'm going to offer multiple zone strategies for these 2 NMs, which have good fighting spots in Jugner [S], East Ronfaure, and East Ronfaure [S] ( ( Read more... )

Erebus is an undead bones Tier II VNM part of the Lord Ruthven (Purple Abyssite) path.  Overall, this is one of the fastest solos, and part of a very highly sought after path, so I'm hoping that this VNM solo post is one of the more useful in this series.  This post is going to have some redundant information from the previous post on ( Read more... )

With the introduction of the March update, servers were merged and Bahamut / Odin reopened.  I've had a great time in game over the last year, but I feel that it's time to come home.  After being banned over about 15 months ago, I was offered a number of existing accounts, but eventually chose to recreate from scratch hoping to play ( Read more... )
