FFXI solo job question?

Question

Hey,

On FFXI which of the six starting classes can solo to 18 & 30 fairly easily?

Thief, Black Mage, Red Mage, White Mage, Warrior, Monk?

Answer 1

I think Red Mage was the easiest for me. You fight and heal. When I got to 30 with it, I did all my advance job quest with it solo. The only two I don't have are Ninja, and Samurai. All I need to do is fight the dragon to be a Dragoon. I did everything else for it solo with the Red Mage. You can always find a party as Warrior, or Monk when you are low level. Get your sub job quest that way. Then Red Mage all the way.

Answer 2

Monk and warrior are the best solo-ers at the low levels of the basic jobs. You should be able to get War upto 18 without too much trouble if your using a great axe. Monk will be easier to get upto 30.



Later in the game, Theif and redmage are the best solo-ers of the basic jobs. Black mage is good at soloing here and there, its kinda eratic though.



White mage is great for getting invites early game, but Red Mage is better for getting invites after lvl 41.

Answer 3

To be honest, none of them are good solo jobs. I got Warrior up to 18 on my own, but that was my first job before I learned how parties really worked.



I guess any job, except maybe white mage is soloable to 18, but I wouldn't reccomend soloing any job to 30, especially now, when it's so much easier to get into partys.

Answer 4

well honestly soloing is very slow in this game... if u choose to party up with other players though whm is defintly the way to go partys are always looking for a whm. but if u do choose to solo, i would go either warrior or monk. but ull need a subjob to suffienctly use those classes while soloing... war/whm and mnk/whm is good.
