As a side note, this guide may apply to jobs other than BLM

This guide is aimed toward allowing fellow black mages to solo some (or all) of their levels, reducing party frustrations and exp limitations.

While I realize that there are a few threads about BLM solo here, I couldn’t find one that went into detail about each camp and level. “Deatharu’s Mini Guide for Easy SOLO BlackMage!” was the closest thing that I saw (and was the main resource I used to find some of my camps). I know a guide like this would have been extremely helpful to me when I solo’d my BLM, so that’s why I’m writing this.

The Basics

  1. Find a BST or SMN mob with his pet out.
  2. When you are behind him (or slightly to the side and behind), blast your highest nuke at his pet.
  3. As long as the mob doesn’t see his pet, he won’t come after you, only the pet will. Run a short distance away to minimize the chance of the mob seeing his pet if he moves before you kill it.
  4. Simply finish off the pet with another spell or two, find a safe place, and rest.
  5. Rinse and repeat for some great EXP and chain 3-4 most of the time.

Black Mage Solo Guide

This is the basic way to go about killing, although you will have to tweak your spell casts depending on which mobs you fight, and at what levels. For example, once you hit 50 or 51, often times you will be able to 1-shot pets with Freeze. Most of the time you will get just as much, if not more, EXP per hour than the average party, or leeching in Abyssea. Manaburns are an exception.

  • This guide starts at level 19 because I could not find any worthwhile enemies to solo before then. You can try killing worms in Konschtat Highlands and Korroloka Tunnel for decent EXP, or Gigas’s Leeches in Qufim Island if you’re hell-bent on soloing all the way to 75. If you’re not, keep in mind that lower levels have very small EXP requirements, so it shouldn’t be too hard to get to 19 in a party before starting this guide.
  • I will be heavily focusing on being able to sub NIN. If your NIN isn’t at least level 12 (with Utsusemi: Ichi), then this guide may not be for you. However, NIN is not necessarily the only feasible sub job for these strategies, but it worked out the best for me, which is why I’ll be relying on it throughout the guide. Once you get to a higher level you may want to consider subbing RDM for Gravity, Blink, and Stoneskin, or other jobs for whatever reason you deem necessary. From 51 to about 60, /NIN is no longer the best option because of the way you can kill pets.
  • The camps listed may not necessarily have the corresponding BST-type mob in the exact area. Often times you will find that there is another beastman mob there instead. If this is the case, get a higher level job, or a friend, to come kill them and wait for the BST to spawn in its place. This is much better than wandering deeper into a dungeon to find a camp that may or may not be as good.
  • Most of the time I will list levels that show you should stay at a camp until decent challenges start popping up. Feel free to go to the next camp a level or two ahead of time if you want to, but be wary of resists. At higher levels it is much safer to skip few levels because of the wide assortment of +INT and +Skill gear available site web link.
