What Will I need to Solo HH?

The ability to read any of the many MANY threads talking about this very thing?


The only thing you NEED is a decent tank pet, and a fully levelled up pet heal, and level 60 (to get in)

As you have progressively more than that, you can start to do more bosses and more modes.

In addition to the above, a toothpick to wedge in keyboard or a steady patient enduring finger.

Don't risk damaging/shortcircuiting the chips inside your keyboard with coins or toothpicks, fold a stickynote in half, push down the key and stick the corner inbetween the key and edge slightly.

Just use the "Monsters" drop down list to find one your pets level to grind on.

BH dose not help also.

There's really no point in levelling so damn fast from BH's as a Venomancer. It does leave your pets behind as you are finding. Of course, at level 40+ you can always use the Cube's Mice Bashing room, but this can become costly if you're having a hard time rolling the right dice to get in there >_< and in the end it just takes away coin that you could be saving up for the Hercules instead. Especially if you have to do this every few levels to try and keep your pet up with you.

This is why I do not use BH's for fast levelling... yes I still do them every day, but simply for the mass spirit. I do all available quests at my level and grind on mobs with good DQ drops for coins to pay for my next available skills and to ensure my pets levels are the same as my characters. The characters exp from the BH, grinding and questing goes into genies regularly. Once I'm happy with my pets levels (i.e. they are max exp at the same level as my character) if I'm also happy with my characters skill/coin/spirit setup, then and only then, will I let my character level from the BH exp.

Leveling a pet on mobs or the cube room isn't that hard.When doing BHs it won't fall 10 levels behind or something.

I never said levelling pets in the cube was hard. I said it can become expensive if you do it all the time or have bad luck with the dice rolls (dice ticket costs, mirage costs, teleport ticket costs etc etc). Whereas levelling pets on mobs can become boring and tedious if you level too fast and the pet gets several levels behind. One pet may not fall behind 10 levels. But if you have more than 5 pets (assuming a half maxed to maxed pet bag where most pets in the bag have their specific uses such as luring or range luring, tanking, damage dealing or whatever) then yes, they absolutely can easily fall behind.

It's not worth losing nice EXP over tbh. By capping your own level, you're capping your pet level.

That "nice exp" is the reason that there are so many fails in every class type these days. People are far to eager to level up as fast as possible. I prefer to manage that "nice exp" and have a character and bag of pets that are the best they can be for their current level instead of levelling so fast that I end up with a high level character and a bunch of pets that can't prove their worth in a squad or solo because either the pets can't tank well enough due to gradually falling behind in level or because I can't afford to dish out coins for survivability and maxed skills due to BH's wine fees, Cube fees to try and catch up the pets, and trying to save for a Herc (and whatever else). It speaks volumes about fast levelling when you run FB's and BH's with others (the same level as me give or take a level or two) and when you get to the boss, out of a full squad the only ones left standing within 10 seconds of attacking the boss (AOE) are me, my Glacial Walker and some level 8x+ cleric who was helping with the FB/BH.

As for the capping levels... A pet can't level higher than it's Veno under any circumstances regardless of whether I give exp to a genie or not so I'm not entirely sure what point you're trying to make there. If I max out my pets exp when my pet is at my current level, when I next level up, it takes just one mob to bring my pet back to my own level. How is that that not a good thing? Is a pet the same level as my character not better to have than the same pet several levels lower than my character?

"Capping your level" suggests that someone isn't actively levelling at all. Which, in my case, is not true. I am levelling. I'm just not doing it ridiculously fast because I don't play this game to obtain an easy high level. I play to be the best I can be at EVERY level regardless of what that level is. In this game, gaining a high level fast doesn't equal a good character or a good player, most of the time it just equals someone who took the easy route and didn't learn their class in the process.

tl;dr

So.. pretty much "I don't have money and I don't wanna grind to level my pets".

You contradict yourself a lot. You say you level enough but don't wanna kill mobs to level pets. derp..?


And by capping your level I meant denying yourself of BHs, thus EXP, thus levels, thus pet levels, since as you said they don't rise over your level.

Why would you want to solo a Hell Hound?

Or the Head Hunter?

Solo mode is cake. Remember, the game expects BMs and Archers to be able to do solo mode.

So yeah, a mechcrab should be fine.


And.. at 80 I find my two main pets hit max xp within about 5% of my level, the remaining 95% is pretty much wasted on them (I send some of it to my less-used pets, but I'm not as good about it as I oughta be)

The most important thing hasnt been named; PATIENCE
Its boring as hell to press heal key for 30min all the time.
