Bio 3 - 95+
Important Skills
Important Gear
Unfrozen Wind Armor highly recommended
Locations
Biolabs 2 and 3
Pros
This will be great exp with a decent Monk/Champion and High Priest who 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 Soul Linker is best if available, 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 High Priest, and Monk/Champion), the only real way of dealing with the wizard 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.
