I'm looking to get myself a refresh pin from highlands, I have a 90 blu/ 90 dnc, I'm wondering which job i'm better off soloing there for a decent killspeed, also- which mobs are best for soloing with either job?

Can do it Crour style in Kon as well.

On blu you can get Pearl and Azure lights easily as well as Amber for the Gold boxes.(Might have to tweak atmas around a bit to see what works best.) But just rotate killing Imps and Tonberries(might wanna reset hate but they die very quickly.) if you want do to it Crour style.

If you don't care about Crour Tonberries are still a good choice since I think they give enhanced lights. Once you are getting enough TE's just switch over and try to Amber everything. Its a good way to get nice Dark Rings as well.

GL!

The good ones to start with will most likely be different synthetics, depending on what you've killed so far in abyssea. If you are talking about the best general purpose for your jobs then you'll want to look into Razed Ruins, Minikin Monstrosity, and Voracious Violet in particular.

In the beging you'll want just standard Blu *** kicking Atmas..but when you make the switch to Amber kills you might need to boost whatever WS you will be doing with Atma's just making it that much easier to cap Amber.

In the end it really might not matter. Just cap Azure/Pearl first, get a few TE's under your belt and then Amber everything that you see. There are at least 2 Emps that are easy to get to at Tonberry/Imp camp..which should speed the process up a little.

Atma of the Sea daughter is very handy as well, highest constant regain possible but for the hairpin I would join an exp party to cap lights and time extensions then solo mobs. Dnc would probably be a faster killer if they were both atma-less and Atma of the Razed Ruins + Atma of the Gnarled Horn are the two staples for a good dnc. If you see any shouts for those two or sea daughter I would get on it.
On blu do you need Sea Daughter and solo I thought SD wouldn't be the best expecially with the whole Slow+13% that goes along with the Regain.

Might be wrong tho..Just experiment and see what works best.

Die fast and stuff!

How long did it take you to get Pin solo?

I've been wanting to try to do this solo for a while now. My best job solo would prolly be Drg but thats not the best for Ambering stuff. I could do it on rdm melee style nuking when I needed to but I'd be afraid it would go sooo slow.

Lol I understand what you were trying to say..but when I first read it..I did read it alooot(damn Canadians..) Just giving you a hard time lol.

I know a guy in my linkshell spent give or take 20 hours trying to get a refresh hairpin. He got some really good Dark Rings and finally got a Pin, I don't think he's been in that zone since then..lol
