    Soloing Ix'drg isn't nearly as painful as soloing Carmine Dobsonflies on BLM.
    Did you actually do it? Wyvern can dispel your RR, and if you die before putting bio up, it will regen (unless you cast asap without recasting RR). There is too many things that can go wrong in this fight solo, even if bio zerg is easy to accomplish.

    Make no sense to not go with 2-3blm. It's decent xp, a lot safer and much faster.
    Casting from max range and using gaiters, I've never had a problem with wyverns hitting me with finale.

    As far as popping it, tho it's ultimately based on luck, it can take an eternity to pop him solo. I agree, having a couple BLM friends come with you only makes sense; you'll pop him quicker (on average obviously), and you'll get more better exp while doing it. Nonetheless, it's still very possible to kill him solo.

    We are talking about the situation where poison is resisted and you got to cast bio (or bio is erased). I would like to see you cast 2 spells safely.

    bio first, then additional debuffs as necessary while you wait for bio to wear

    i've also never been hit by finale/lullaby while holding/soloing it (also gaiters)

    there should be no reason to cast two spells since reset timer, i assume, doesnt start up until it's sitting at the center of the little pit without a debuff on---where you'd have bio on it anyway

    Well let's say you're doing bio only (probably the best method). If you bio and he erases himself with the TP move; The wyverns start casting, thus letter you build distance on them. Ix'aern will lag behind as well because of the TP move. Keeping Stoneskin up before the pull is advisable as well.

    You're very likely to get the 2nd bio off before they get to you. You'll prolly eat a hit from them all once when you zone. Wearing an earth staff, jelly ring, cheviot cape and using stoneskin, you won't die, even if some of them double attack.

    As I mentioned earlier, since you're outrunning finale, you'll have RR up in the obscure chance that you die for whatever reason. The wyverns won't try to recast finale from the 10-12 secs where you aggroed and you die for whatever reason.
