    I think there's a pretty significant change that this would get you to 37 faster than any pet-path, unless you end up with a camp that has two or three Beastmasters up at a time. Though, even when that is the case, someone generally comes along and fixes that for you in time.

    IT-VT(even though not particularly applicable, considering you're solo) worms can be completely obliterated solo by any well-geared DD job, and will give pretty consistent chains.

    One of the best things to do if you catch aggro is have the PL grab hate and log after your target is dead. Flash/Log with Stoneskin in case should work as long as the person being PLed did not perform any aggressive action on the BST. This will force the BST to depop and repop via the MPK code.

    How much exp/hour do you get or can expect from worms using a DD with a PL ? I usually Levelsync to a lvl 10 job on my mule and go to Ghelsba Outpost all the way to Fort Ghelsba and can get at least 5k per hour until lvl 23-24. I range from 4.5k/hour at lvl 23 to 6.5k /hour in the low lvls.

    Averaging ~9.5k/H at the moment in Shakrami on Dragoon at 14. They're mostly IT though, so I it should go up to 10-11k when during the 15-17 range, considering I'd be getting the same EXP off of a T, and it will be that much faster to kill.

    If you start in the main room, go straight, and loop around to the right~ish, it will take you in a gigantic, worm-filled circle.

    You can do 15~21 in buburu really really fast with FoV page 2. Just a little south of the op is a area with a ton of Mandies, Goblins, and Birds that will repop before you can kill them all. Even when they get down to EP, you're killing them so fast it adds up quick. When things slow down, a short trip east to the beach areas killing crawlers, and dhalmels is equally fast. With FoV regen, and even cheap food you make youself like blackend hare or dhamel/wild steaks, it goes pretty fast. If you're solo /dnc helps it go faster since you don't need to sit like EVER. With a PL dual box you've got more options for subs for marginally faster kills.
    I usually jump from buburu around 27~28 and start on qufim crabs & worms. You can always jump in a level synched pt if something looks viable after that for speedy xp, or just solo in qufim all the way to 37 easily.

    I've soloed 18 of the 20 jobs so far to 37 with FoV mostly sub /dnc. It's sinnfuly easy, if a bit tedious on some jobs.

    There are level 30ish worms in North Gustaburg [S] that are great for soloing/duoing. They're just northwest of that big mountain.

    honestly though, with BRD PL (invite for songs, disband, bla bla) I did 10-20 in horutoto, entering at the j-7[?] tower from e. saru, and worked my way in, eventually going further and further in

    level 18 taru rdm with no SJ got chain 6 on bats and gobs in the last section before the stairs going to the big room that is just prior to the 3 mages door with a green door on either end and a bunch of pillars inside

    Well, I just finished drg, drk, and sam all to 37 thanks for all the info people posted here. I think I found a pretty decent path utilizing a dual box brd or rdm depending on the need. Here's what I did:

    0-9 E saru
    9-12 Tahorgi Canyon
    13-19 Maze of sh worms/gobs
    19-23 Korr tunnel worms
    23-29 qufim
    30-33 grauberg (S) worms (E-13)
    33-34 attohwa worms
    34-37 Weapons in Sauromugue Champaign
    34-37 Xarcabard giga's tigers

    If I entered a new area low I'd use the dual box as BRD, but if I was toward the higher level range I'd switch the PL to RDM. The toughest part actually was 34-37. This used to be easy as hell going to Xarcabard but now theres a lot of FoV players mowing down the gigas. So basically I'd check the zone, if the gigas were up I'd exp here, if the gigas were being mowed I'd go kill weapons. Tigers are obviously much better and faster exp, but if there's no BST gigas up that drops drastically. The only part that sucked was buying stacks of pebbles for DRG to pull pets with lol. DRG was actually my favorite of the 3 to level, and if they had a viable ranged to pull with while /nin I'd gladly take it to 75.

    Take them to 13, make a full DPS level sync PT, find an uncamped spot in Korolokka tunnel and kill worms. Make sure to have a COR though. 13>14 will be the most painful, but still faster than solo and after that your group should destroy them quickly and you'll get about 10-12k EXP an hour. When your leech (The level 13) hits about 18/19, kick him and replace with another 13. Since level 13 is the end of the solo'ish levels, I'm sure you can find quite a few people who would have a job with in this area to team up and it's not horrible merits for a sync'd 75 (1 an hour, but still you are level 13).

    Just to add onto this, the sand dunes in altepa block line of site. What I often do is pull the pet and fight it just over on the other side of the dune. The dunes also seem to act as a sort of roaming boundary. Gobs don't cross over them (diggers and manticores might, not sure) so you're guaranteed that the bst won't link with his pet.

    A SCH PL 16+ is pretty hot if you can dump a +19 Enthunder on the people being PLed every 3 minutes. Not unlike a BRD PL in this respect.

    If I had the option of a 2nd account, I'd probably 1-10 in a starter zone, go to Gusta[S] and pwn worms near Bastok until 14, start branching along the path on saplings/vultures until 18, move to other worms near the fort until 21 or so with the PL keeping an eye out for the wandering gob, mess with pets in Qufim or possibly solo worms until 25, then possibly just stay here and keep FoVing on the crabs/pugs page until 37. Could spice things up with Chasm worms at 32 or so if you want, but nowadays I've just found mowing through EPs worth it more than trying to solo chain EM-Ts that aren't pets.

    If /BST is an option, you almost become a party of 2 when solo, too. Leeches tear up a lot of things in Qufim once you can start charming them at 33ish.

    18/19 - 23/24 Lower Delkfutts Tower off the Gigas' Bats. Very fast with a PL and awesome when you get lucky to have 2 bst mobs there.

    Skeletons at night can cause issues if your PL, or you, are not paying attention at night.

    i do
    1-10 in east saruta
    bees to 3
    then rarabs to 5
    then anything to 10

    10-18 in t canyon
    bee's / mandies to 14
    anything to 18

    18-22 in Bubu
    Hare's and Sylv to 20
    Dhalmels / Birds to 22

    22-28 in Jugner
    22-24 on beetles
    24-28 on funguars

    28-37 in Quifim

    <3 FOV bonuses, usually gets done by the 4-5 mark in the new vanaday, I go for the easier training regimes with respect to mob availability with a bard doing just healing. I don't bother doing bard PL since with signet on I've been tearing through mobs fast enough where I get around 4000-5000 xp/hr and as high as 6000/hr under ideal circumstances.
