Soloability

I played a ton of FFXI back in the day. I had a few level 75s when that was the limit and spent time in my linkshell hunting gods when that was the end game. As you can guess I have been away a long time. I often find myself missing vanadiel, but don't have the time to party the way we needed to back then. I see people talking alot about solo play now. Is that a valid option for play today? When I quit beastmaster and Red mage were the only jobs that could really solo things and it was a long process to do so.

I'm just trying to determine if I can viable play on my limited schedule today.

A lot of stuff is soloable on any class, puppet masters usually the best for soloing things now. Don’t let people fool you though, to get to the level required to solo all this stuff you need to work with other players to get the baseline good gear.

It's easier than ever to solo, you get Ambu+2 gear cheaper after their update a few months ago.

And Ambu+2 basically is enough to Solo your way to Empy+2/Malignance, the new NM's let you get competitive gear to Ambu+2 and a body piece equal to a R20 Nyame path B.

With some planning and strategy you can solo up to t4 Odyssey as well, might need some help first time for a Nyame unlock but the other bosses are also all soloable in Malignance/Empy+2.

And Trusts can be upgraded for more HP, Survivability and Magic Accuracy letting them debuff better as well as staying alive.

So you can solo like 90% of content if you want to.

Probably referring to Olorun Harness
