Important Gear
- Unfrozen Wind Armor highly recommended
Locations
Biolabs 2 and 3
Pros
This will be great exp with a decent monk/champ and high priestwho knows what they're doing
Cons
Wizards will be somewhat difficult to deal with.
Party absolutely needed
Monsters
Leeching
Courtesies
Techniques
- A root tank works best here and switch elements depending which monster you're killing. A 95 SL is best if avaiable, other than that, hang around the entrance and relink when needed on floor 2. If you come across a wizard and you're in a party of three (yourself, a highpriest, and monk/champ), the only real way of dealing with the wizards is by having the monk TSS them to death. Since you can't easily deal with them like that, it's important to have an unfrozen wind or decent support at the least.
