I have of late been really into DNC solo Abyssea NM's. It is now I /drool over Boxer's mantle. Any way anyone can see I would be able to solo farm ABC's? Also have BLM at 85 if that is better option.

For solely ABCs, it's hard to top Apollyon NW as a solo BLM. If you can make it to the Fafnir and Behemoth floors, you'll see plenty of coins from the regular mobs. I think the wyverns drop 2 ABCs each, and the baby behemoths drop 4 or 5 each.

(It's been a long time since I did Apollyon NW on a regular basis, so I could be wrong.)

I spose I could buy, but kinda want the challenge and fun, or am I being stupid thinking it would be fun.

It's not fun or challenging. But yeah NW apollyon solo is your best bet.

Other than that, maybe a few of your friends still want Homam pieces, in which case lowman Omega pops and split ABCs, not too terrible that way. All floors can be solo'd or duo'd np.

I guess my answer wasn't very helpful..but by the time you spend 15k for each run and you don't get very many coins and all that jazz..I would just buy them..but that isn't very fun.

Find a duo partner to make it a just that much easier..

No, really, that is the best answer. There's so much ***to do ingame nowadays limbus is totally obsolete.

But if it's downtime anyways, might as well. I have an omega pop "just cause" whenever I was bored I'd grab someone and do a run.

I literally haven't been back to Limbus since I completed my Homam..I burned myself out so bad that I didn't wanna go back right away. I think it might be fun to go do it now when I have down time (in between Abyssea NM's lol) to farm for gear not coins. There are a few Af+1 I still want.

Even say a year ago a good blm with some luck could solo NW ftw. Which means like 20-30 coins min. Probably could farm the wyvern floor too now for another 2 more for each mob

Oh yeah I know they could and with Duo it was easy..but thats like 30~40 coins a week. I am impatient lol..I wouldn't wanna wait a month for the item.

When I finally got sea..I spent 1.3mil on ABC's cuz I just had to have Loq/Brutal just depends on how badly you want the item.
