I generally only play on Nasomi when I'm doing something else, either watching TV, or something else that requires low effort. I attempted to get parties around level 12 but there were no invites, so I decided to just solo my way until I was strong enough to get through the Valkurm Dunes tunnel on the Konschat side (too broke for sneak oils). Low party invites, or requiring a /whm (which I didn't have) and I was, and am, still broke as hell and felt bad about partying with welfare gear. I've just been soloing since. I mostly just Buff with Protect, Blaze Spikes, and Enblizzard, then pull with Paralyze and half pay attention to heal myself as necessary. Currently 35 and slowly climbing.
Gear is obviously a lot different than in a party. I prioritize a lot of damage mitigation gear like agi and vit over standard int/mind stuff, also, I'm broke as hell.
Always Signet. Don't level without it. I'm at like 18k Conquest Points right now, and I've spent a ton of them on garbage to get me started.
1-10 South Gustaberg Gear: RSE to 10, obviously if you're a high roller and have Leaping Boots use those at 7, and a Justice Badge. Use Nation Ring. Wax Sword+1 ideal, Bronze Sword for plebs like me.
10-15 Gear: Full Legionaires Set, Spatha/Bee Spatha (+1), Aspis @ 13 get Guerilla Gloves, or Battle Gloves at 14 if you can afford them. Scentless also a good option. Ring of Choice at 14, I used +1 Vit. +2 int rings also a good choice. Warriors Belt or +1 Dangruf Wadi Bees, Crabs and Goblins.
15-20 Gear: Bone available at 16, but skippable for Lizard instead at 17. Pickup a Iron Sword if you're broke, or a Flame Sword if you're rich (En-spells generally better than Flame Sword). Dhalmel Mantle at 18. Konschat Highlands Lizards, Saplings and Bees. Move onto Sheep, and Goblins, with a dabling of Bees/Lizards/Saplings
20-28 Gear: Full Beetle, keep battle gloves. If you got an Emp. Hairpin put it on ya sily goose. Valkurm Dunes Lizard loop on Konschat side, can incorporate Once lizards are slow, move through the tunnel and do the crabs inbetween Selbina and Konschat zone Higher levels start incorprating Sheep and Damselflies if you prefer. I was able to kill Ghouls for subjob quest around 26ish. I didn't get a magicked skull until I got help from a Thief named Wyrmhole at 28ish. After I got Subjob I subbed Monk cause I had it at 14. Counter is helpful.
28-30 Gear: RSE might be a good option depending on race. Otherwise push to 30. Buburimu Penninsula Generally lower traffic than Valkurm. I got to 30 killing Vultures, Rabbits and Goblins around the Outpost near Meriphataud Mountains, but was fully capable of killing Dhalmel and other higher level enemies here. Switched to Warrior subjob here. I don't know if it performs better than /Mnk honestly.
30-35 Gear: Full Centurion's or Mercenary Captains. Recommended Centurion's legs and boots over Merc captain. Centurion's is much cheaper than Merc captains as well. Centurion's Sword is excellent. Merc Captain Belt. Valkurm Dunes Snippers and Leeches above the Outpost Low EXP, but extremely safe as long as you don't pull multiple leeches. Easy camps, easy to setup combat and AFK. Made a good chunk of coin vendoring crab meat though.
35-X Gear: Wing or Drone Earrings if you're a boss. Upgrade Centurion Sword if you have the dosh. Black/White Cape. Rolanberry Fields Deathwasps, Crawlers, and Goobues. Trying to make some money, and maybe get some moss for rep.
