Ranger Solo Guide

Advantages and Disadvantages
There are two main advantages to soloing worms.
 * 1) Great EXP. You can take an VT or IT with no problem, and if it gets ugly you can just run away.
 * 2) There is no need to depend on groups, as they will just slow you down.

The one major disadvantage is that it can cost quite a bit in arrows and other support items.

Levels 1-10

 * Newbie areas just outside of the home cities (Gustaberg, Sarutabaruta, Ronfaure)
 * Kill Easy Prey or Decent Challenge and concentrate on Worms.

Levels 10-14

 * Worms in La Theine Plateau or Konschtat Highlands.
 * Sheep are ok, but can be more difficult.

Levels 14-19

 * Maze Makers in Maze of Shakhrami.
 * At 14, take the easier ones. Chaining 1 or 2 for up to 280 xp is possible, about 3k an hour.

Levels 19-24(25)

 * Land Worms in Korroloka Tunnel.
 * Recommended to do worms only, and look out for links.
 * Important! At level 24 Utsusemi becomes available with the Ninja subjob.
 * This is extremely useful for soloing as it will absorb nearly all spells cast on you by the worms.

Levels 25-30

 * Back to Maze of Shakhrami for Abyss Worms.
 * These should bring you close to 30.

Tips

 * Every 2 hours go find an EM or T mob and Eagle Eye Shot it if you like.
 * Until you get Ranged Accuracy+ earrings, use earrings that give you [[Image:Earth_icon.JPG]]+ for resistance against worm spells.
 * Upgrade your equipment as it becomes available.
 * Keep 1 or 2 potions on hand in case you get bound.
 * /check your worms before you engage. Be sure not to bite off more than you can chew.
 * Always keep in mind that it is OK to run if you need to. Dying is a lot of unnecessary downtime.
 * Most importantly, be aware of your surroundings, as all Rangers should. Some worms pop in groups, and linking all of them at once can cause you some major pain.

 * Check out this listing of Ammunition by Type.
