The difficulty of getting beyond Empress Blessing level 24
Being bored and hungry for ways to boost my range without upgrading equips, I remembered that a few major patches ago they enabled Empress' Blessing to level beyond 24 by completing quests and raising your Noble Mind skill level.
Now when it was first enabled, my peers suggested to not even bother with it as you need to defeat Arkarium and it is SUPER hard(although modified). It's been awhile and I currently have a Wind Archer with 18k buffed(transformed). I thought I should give it a try.
I tried... and failed (well to be exact after 5 minutes of scratching his HP, I figured 30minutes is not enough to take down this old fart).
Now my question is: Has anyone successfully defeated Arkarium by themselves? I can see it being done with a party of 3 with the same range as I... but to find CKs who's just as bored as I am... is really difficult
If anybody was successful would someone enlighten me as to how much range would I need to solo him?
and do Mihile's get the same quest/join a party with CK and tackle him?

Since mihiles have to do the Cygnus version, I don't see why they would make a separate exped/level cutoff. That would force you to solo/do it in a mihile-only party, which would be sort of stupid.
then again, Nexon, you never know...
@Nanosecond: Oh I meant to get in the room... like some party quests limit the level gap. But thanks for info
@ryuushinou the quest is a "kill quest." So if someone kills it in the same party, you'd get the kill
@bluebomber24: Well yes and no. Having 3 people > 3 times as much range. At least that's what I think (I believe the flexibility of someone attacking while you're dead helps alot in Arkarium).
@Nanosecond: So a Mihile can be in the same party? is there a level gap limit?
When I was working on increasing my Noble Mind skill, I usually did it in a duo. We both had fairly average ranges and finished it within 10~15 minutes.
Didn't you just give the answer. If it takes 3 Cyks with your range than you have to have your range * 3 to solo, right?
The only thing I can think of is to find every stacking alchemy ingredient and every potion that stacks and use them. Then get w/e buffs you can find and hope thats enough.
just get a guildie who's a mihile to help you
