Solo Reives

Didn't see this posted anywhere and just wanted to point this out if anyone is bored, but you can solo all the reives as bst. None of the mobs link your pet when you attack the hive/root/rock/whatever. Keep sneak and/or invis on and you will never aggro the mobs either. I have yet to see if any of them have true sight/sound mobs however. It takes a good 10-15 mins to kill a hive (wasn't really paying attention) so come /mage for longer sneak/invis if you want to afk.

Not sure if there is any benefit to doing this, but I found it humorous. I assume SE will patch it eventually.

Another thing to note, if you bring in a charmed pet for the reive there is no need to worry about it uncharming. It will just disappear once it uncharms since it is no longer under the reive status. This also means you cannot recharm it so beware of that.

RNG goes faster!

The nests are very easy to solo as blm or sch too. (really, anything that reliable can overlap sleep forever)

Interesting to know the decharm tidbit.

I solo'd a nest, but kept getting screwed over by people running through and inadvertently dragging a couple of mantis into an area where i'd get hit by AoE. Frustrating.

Oh, no. So frustrating that you can't be afk and accomplish ***.

Can also solo them as pld/dnc have the mobs feed you tp

Nah, i wasn't afk.

I had sneak and invis up. They ran close by where i was standing while mantis pulled off an AoE move while i was in range, stripping sneak and invis. Causing me to be aggro'd by other mantis or wasps.

I got MPK'd a few times, I usually warn people before they do so but hey, people don't really listen.

loltrololol

Been linking bad on beast from the clusterfucks of ppl and noticed that if you're weakened you can't get Bayld and can lose your 'sword'. I stayed in range of mobs and became ineligible.... This Reive stuff needs to be fixed

Never had this issue and I always get baylds when weakened.

another note you can go out of range of the lair reives very easy, and if you do you cant get tags from one for 10 minutes.

I've gotten aggro from one of the bees with invis up.

I got knocked back from the grasshoppers a bit, but didnt see a warning on my screen. Does the game tell you if you're too far away?

Yes gives you a 5,4,3,2,1 warning you are to far away

***Edit*** Range is around 20ish from Central nest.

Ah that explains it. My distance from the nest was probably too far...thanks for explaining that!
