Solo Mission musing

I've been thinking about the Solo Missions:

From what I've gathered so far, they seem to repeat as long as you're in the acceptable level range.

Would it be worth leveling using those quests only then once you're higher level whip through all the other "normal" quests easily since you're a higher level?

Otherwise, what about grinding those quests just for the sake of spirit points? (Lose experience on purpose, repeat quests until you have a lead of spirit points so you can stay up to date on skills)

Just my thoughts running around. =)

Anyone have insightful comments?

    Usually, the best idea is to do them with other quests involving either those same mobs, or mobs that are in the same area.


    No, it isn't the best idea to level with only those since all you get is a rep for every 20 of the mobs required to be killed for the quest.

    I thought you got experience and spirit for doing those solo missions.

    And the intent was to do all the "normal" quests afterward.

    Noob question, but what's rep for?

    Nah, solo missions only give rep and a celestone fragment. Rep is for different levels of Rank gear. Most of it is extremely good if you can get it at it's level(ie 60 gear at 60), and some of it is even still good after outleveling it. For most people rep is more of a long term goal as it is very difficult to have enough by the minimum level to use it, especially at the higher ranks.

    The names and such are from another version, but that should give you a general idea.

    You do get spirit and experience for killing the mobs, but not for turning in a quest like the "normal" quests

    It's too time consuming to deal with and the higher level monsters give you better drops worth lot more coins so I don't agree with this being useful unless you do the Tiger Striped Araneid One-Man Army quest.

    That quest requires just 20 mobs that give you 3 reputation along with 775 SP 620 XP and 124 coins. It's the only one I liked doing period.

    The Solo Mission quests only reward you with reputation and a celestone fragment.

    However, once you hit level 60, you get access to the Justice Quests, where you buy a tab from any Justice Envoy, and then turn the tab in for a specific quest for one out of five possible monster groups to kill at your choosing (similar to the Solo Mission quests). The reward is reputation (less than from Solo Mission, though), experience and spirit as well as what experience+spirit you've gained from killing the mobs..

    I have been wondering what level should be normal to get rank 3 because i now have only 1700-1800 rep and i'm lvl 59 alrdy.. should i focus on earning reps? or should i just go along at my current pace of earning rep?

    Eeh... Hard to say, really. I managed to achieve rank 3 at level 64 after spending a few weeks doing nothing but justice quests, solo missions and FB runs.

    I think that if you just go about as normal, you get rank 3 around mid-70'ies.
