I'm struggling with places to hunt at lvl 41 SR. I would very much like to know any places to hunt solo.
I have PL and a Emi bow with top D juvelry (hasn't got the time or adena to get C grade yet)
Does anyone have any places that I most likely could hunt solo - while the exp still comes in rather fast? :/
Atm im getting like 5 % in 20 minutes - and then I have to rest to get my mana up again. which I don't think is that good.
i have a lvl 41 dwarf warsmith,and i do the best hunting for xp is out side hunters village in the ofrest of mirrors. watch out for the agro there...some times it can hurt a bit. also in side heretics catacomb in the exacution grounds near dion. there are usualy partys in ther that could use some help and it isnt to bad soloing if you go deep enough. in HC watch your agro as well..a good rule of thumb is that ANY thing that flys will probably agro and most of the flying creatures have ranged atks that do decent dmg. be sure to have SOE and plenty of health pots.
have fun :)
What he was pointing out is that you generally need to wait a few hours for a discussion on these message boards. Getting impatient in 10 minutes is a little crazy.
Make sure you get Cheapshot on that Emi Bow. at lvl 41, I was killing Leto Lizard Soliers and Archers. Bring a few Heal Pots and start shooting. Unfortunately they will turn blue at 42-43 so just move onto Warriors, Shamans and Overlords. You can still do the quest from Giran that gives you 30k, 50 Skins or 50 Bones per run.
You can Go to Dragon Valley and hunt the mobs there. Unfortunately, without Cheapshot, you can't grind for long before having to rest for MP.
Most archers keep a dagger as well. When the bow burns up your MP, switch to the dagger while it builds back up. As an SR, you have masteries in both.
For hunting, I would recommend starting the Coin of Magic quest with Sorient in the WH of Hunters' village. Quest guide can be found here. (http://lineage2.stratics.com/content/library/quests/quest.php?id=336) You will need some friends to kill the initial Harits (Matriarch or Shaman,) and take the coin to Sorient, NOT Bernard. Then you should hunt the Timak orcs to the east of Oren, down to the river to Death Pass. Watch out for Troop Leaders, they spawn a group. The coins go for 3k (Gold, silver) and 12k-15k (blood.)
Archers in dungeons need a party and a dagger. Soloing with your bow takes skill, and is risky.
You can also hunt in the Sea of Spores, around the Ivory Tower, South of Hunter's Village, and the areas very near Aden. Stay out of Devil's Isle, Garden of Eva, and Aligator Island until you are higher in level. Mobs there are multi HP, social, with nasty stuns and paralyse spells.
At Level 41, I was doing fettered souls alot. 4x mop and you can outrun them. That is outside of DV and down closer to the bridge. Before you hit the bridge over to Oren land, take a right and follow along the river bank. There, there are quite a few that spawn. Just watch out for the big Rat Man Boss. He and his minions will kick your butt.
You can also do the ratmen and the balasks in the area with your dagger while your mana regens.

Actually I think dagger is pretty much the way to go even for an archer when you're 40-50.
Here is what I think might work best. It costs money though :(
Grab a nice C grade dagger (dark screamer/focus, ca. 6.5m from luxury store plus SA), get a friendly healer (best would be SE lvl 30+ for VR) and go wild on the fettered souls near Hardin's academy (can port there directly from Giran). Pretty much the best XP you can find at that level. If you then pop in an alacrity potion from the store, you SHOULD be able to go much longer than only one buff round without resting. Even better would be a greater alacrity potion, but those will set you back ca. 14k or so per buff round. Still, compared to the SS usage of the Emi bow it will end up the same I think.
I did this for my TH, levelled from 40 to 50 in no time at all (when the fettered souls turn blue, go a bit north around Ivory Tower). Yes, my TH has upgraded dagger skills, but I did not use them that often. Just SS spam with a focus dagger and VR, that's enough, and an archer can do that, too.
Edit: missed the word "solo" in your original post, sorry :)
hehe yeah I want to solo as much as possible - mostly because I like the feeling that I have "earned" something by myself. But still this is a nice advice - thank you :)
Maybe I can call in a favour from one of my friends to log his buffer in and buff me every ones in awhile.
Go kill Karul Bugbears outside of HV. They don't aggro, nothing there assists them, and you can two shot them. On top of that, you might get a lucky brig helm drop. My SR leveled up to 45 on these before heading to GoE.
