    Sadly, you cant make money fast grinding anymore below level 90 because of dq nerf. I would do all your quests in swamp of wraiths to make some quest coin, then do bh daily, and spend your profits on fccing for fast leveling (sadly) because the low levels are going to be hard now. Also, if you have a herc, you could solo first boss in tt 1-1 over and over again, or do solo mode for tt 1-1/1-2

    Walker needs a few more levels to tank TT's at your level.

    Herc:

    Increase self-Pdef
    Increase self-MagicDef

    Walker:

    Standard non-buffing skills

    Herc's skills are about 20m +/- on my server so not cheap to give it to walker either. You might be able to do some bosses in TT with walker but not as many as you can with a herc. I used a walker back during the day so I know them well.

    Sadly as a veno, you wont be able to solo fcc till after 100, without a herc, and maybe will still need a herc, but for your level, if prices are similar as on my server, people will sell exp room slots for like 200k, and you can use hyper exp stones to level up fast, several times per room at your level

    First boss in tt 1-1 which is only one you could solo is actually pretty easy, might be able to do with a walker if you constantly spam heal. You Could easily do solo mode with a walker, but not much profit

    FC is not suppose to be for level 1-75. It's a instance suppose to be done in a group of the same level range, but after 75, people use it to power level which is not good, cause people don't have time to learn their class.

    But just with quests, bh, cs, wq and reflection it's really fast to level.

    Single mode TTs are actually worth doing during 2x. The key is to run them as fast and efficiently as posible, so I would recommend to start at level 63 since the upgraded heal should help provide you with something of a small safety margin, adequately skilling your tanking pet and some channeling gear would also help. As many have pointed out the DQ nerf has made it very difficult to obtain any sort of decent income for lower level players. Your best bet for a relatively straightforward source of income is now farming, although this is an even more tedious and monotonous activity than grinding, you may want to do this in order to obtain some extra funds.

    Unfortunately the only real advice I can give is to try to get to level 80 as soon as posible. Spend only in what is absolutely necessary and try to streamline your skilling to the absolute minimum. Shop around for a cheap Ancient Arbor and get a few divine purple quests to get a Sakyamuni's Light for 7x, everything else stick to quest rewards and decent blue stars, perhaps a few molders such as Wild Mane Mantle. Once you get to 8x you will have grinding available to you as well as the oportunity to farm much of your own gear using common pets in single mode TT. Try to look for a faction that can assist you (do keep in mind it goes both ways) and if you have any extra income (your best bet is to participate in NW) invest on leveling. As much as FCC has contributed to the dumbing down of a larger part of the player base it simply is the better way to level in terms of cost efficiency.

    On NW, even with minimal gear and current market prices participating can still net you some 4-6 mil a week, which should allow you sufficient resources to level and gear/skill adequately. Just give it your best shot and try to be patient and make friends.

    Oh geeze. These levels were ALWAYS painful (swamp!) and now with the DQ nerf, nightscream is pretty much worthless now.


    Maybe try skipping up to the 8x grind area, and kill cougarets up in burning heart? They're way above level; but you're a venomancer so that's not a huge problem. It might be too slow to kill them to get a good coin rate though.

    How about solo-mode lunar? It's surprisingly fun and profitable in there - and the bosses are very venomancer friendly. (Squad mode... not so much.)

    Of course, the drops are pretty flimsy - but you should get some of the DQ items that are still worth something, and a few lunar shards.

    Lunar is a high level farming instance. You'll get your first quests that involve it at 85, but it's recommended you wait until at least 95 or so to actually enter unless you have good friends willing to walk you through it.
    Burning Heart is a low 80s area north of Town of Arrivals. You'll eventually get some quests in the area as well
    TT is right by town of arrivals. Just look for Twilight Temple on the map.

    Lunar wouldn't work well at all for a 6X. Even in solo mode your pet would get brutalized at that level.

    I have fond memories of lunar in my 6x.

    It's not an easy instance; it's take it one mob at a time and heal a lot - but it should be doable for you.
    I admit, yeah, it makes more sense to grind there at 8x. But we've pretty much had to write off everywhere that doesn't drop at least DQ71 items.

    I have a lvl 79 veno and I spent a little over an hour there last night killing lvl 78-80 mobs in an attempt to lvl my pets. Just from the drops alone, I made over 150k. So don't count it out.
