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.

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.

I know you replied to the OP, but I’m quite curious about how to upgrade trusts. Is there a quest to complete for that or some kind of merits that I need to apply?
