I was planing to get either a Nix or a Herc( i am a lvl 45 veno), both would fit me fine, but i wanted to know your opinions about this.

Whats a better choice, get first a Herc and then solo the instances or get the Nix a grind like crazy? Please considerer that maybe i am not going to have much time to play.

I am not going to pvp a lot, i just that the fenix looks so cool lol, but i am interest in TW.

Also, could someone post a link of tutorial on you tube or something like that of how to solo the instances? I already serch myself but i coudnt find anything.

Thank you very much.

    I decided to go for a herc because flying pets can't be summoned in dungeons. While it's true that there are good substitute tanks that aren't quite so expensive, I noticed a pretty big difference between my L72 glacial walker and L72 herc when I first got it.

    You can solo FB19-59 with one. FB69 is tricky as Polearm has his armor break skill, but FB79 bosses can be solo'ed as well. You can also solo TT runs, so keeping both in mind, the drops you accumulate from doing these is the reason why people say venos are money makers.

    ...So with the money you get from selling TT mats and drops, you can save up for a nix.

    Your build also matters, though. HA venos work well with nixes, while arcane venos are more squishy and need something to tank hits for them.

    Now that it's levelled up - my phoenix is basically the only pet I use outdoors now. It's just that good.

    And yes, that includes AOE grinding, though I need to be a little more careful than when using the herc.

    The hercules, however, is a lot more useful a lot more of the time. On the downside, it's uglier and instanced runs get boring eventually.

    By "solo fb" you mean that i have to go to the dugeon and kill the boss, or i have to be helping someone who has the quest? I dont know very well how the sistem of drop molds works.

    Means that you can, as just the one of you, go down and kill the bosses in those dungeons.

    You can't actually complete the call-to-duty quests without a squad of at least two, however.

    And to make the boss drop items you need to have the quest right? (sorry for the nobish question lol)

    No man. All bosses drop items... unless your unlucky and it only drops coins. FB's are tabs (call of duties) that give all party members that are nearby exp + spirit. You can go solo any bosses though for drops.
