I am looking to solo Legion (since it was reduced to 1-man) for Abdhaljs's Honors, since my server has a shortage of supply and I need them for a specific augment.

Any idea if BST can do this? If so, can I get some comments regarding the difficulty of it, possible pre-work and meds I might need, and the easiest Hall to do? I know SMN can, and with the recent changes to BST, it might be possible to clear it I'm hoping. Might require some deaths, but I'm ok with that.

Please advise.

I'm aware. Don't have SMN though.

When did Legion officially become 1-man-able? Has the difficulty been adjusted accordingly?

Soloing on a well-geared SMN is no big deal, but Hall of Mul however... I'm curious to know what the flow would be for that.

Yeah, that video is Hall of An. I'm talking about Hall of Mul with Ironclad, Herpeia, Naraka, Mantis, Gallu and Botulus.

Talk to Zoltar, he's the only guy I know recently who was trying to solo it.

I've been wanting to SMN-burn Mul for a while now. I'm going to do a test run with a few geared SMN friends and see how it goes.

Did not know that about honors. That's kind of lame, but ok.

Is The entrance 180k still?

I dont think profitable even if possible to solo (though the supply sucks).

Since last version update:

Quote:
The minimum number of participants for Legion has been decreased from three to one.

Difficulty likely is the same, but i haven't decided to waste 180 to find out.

Well that's why I'm asking on BST, since I'm a more beginner BST than the rest of this community.

Its not a concern about it being profitable as much as it being something desired. I'm not in the business of farming it for profit, its something I need. Right now, I can find an honor about once every week on my server, and that's for 100k I usually see a JP with it. Sometimes I find a JP with it on the forums bazaar, but can never find them in game. Its just annoying looking for these, trying to find an alternative source if its possible

So 180k for a chance to get one is far better than a chance to buy one for 100k a week, where gil is pretty expendable and easy to come by. Don't mind the challenge if its possible, but if the better BSTs say its not something that can be done, I won't waste my time and gil

I have solo'd each hall's first wave on SCH. It takes me about 10-15 minutes depending how things go. I haven't tried Mul solo though.

You can do a pug and throw enough bodies at it that you should be able to get some honors. Unfortunately you're not in Cerberus otherwise i would have gave them to you for free cuz i normally bazaar for 10k.

BST Solo is possible. I was able to clear 4 waves solo on BST using the HQ rabbit pet for Hall of Muru - spamming whirl claws.

Even though solo is possible it would be better to bring 2 or 3 bsts in order to clear more waves in the time allotted.

You can now bring in trusts to legion. I soloed all 4 first rooms with cricket pet aeing, Ampurpu (tank), apuru (whm unity trust), shantanto II (shedevil blm), ioha II, and koru-moru.

It didn't go so well in the 5th room. I got owned pretty fast heh.

I'm glad this was brought up.

Any idea on how to handle the mantis aoe death move on hall of mul without kiting it on a SCH or SMN?

Everything goes semi-ok on hall of mul just straight tanking but then the mantis ruins your day lol.

^ what's so good about Sealvie? Which UC leader is the best healer? Apuru surely is the best?!

Depending on your job, Sylvie's bubbles can be pretty great. Most melee jobs will have her use Fury/Frailty (Attack up, Defense down). As RUN, she just uses Indi-Haste, which would be annoying but really just makes her a more reliable and effective version of Ulmia.

Arciela, Selh'teus, and Iroha II are pretty awesome just for AoE healing spam. I recommend them in a situation where there's frequent aoe damage since Apururu has MP issues and won't help if she's silenced. Selh'teus' move will also grant TP, and Iroha's will also restore MP. Arciela will Haste II and Refresh II you, while Iroha will cover Protectra V and Shellra V. Only issue with this trio is that they don't cover status removal, and are pretty powerless if they get hit with Amnesia.

When I do play BST, when no tank is needed, I use to use Apururu, Arciela 2, Iroha 2, Gadalar and Ullegore. When August or Amchuchu is needed, I replace Gadalar and Ullegore with August/Amchuchu and Koru-Moru.

When I messed around soloing with a melee job, when a tank isn't needed, I would use Apururu, Ulmia, Joachim, Koru-Moru and Quesadilla (Qultada). To me it just made sense for me to use trusts to buff the hell out of me and let me tank and dd at the same time. Apururu cured when needed and was efficient.

I've recently switched to Sylvie, so the consensus is she replaces Ulmia? Or can she replace Apururu as a healer? If Sylvie replaces Ulmia, my next most efficient WHM trusts would be... Karaha-Baruha.
