As a Vates, you are a very useful support. With the ability to heal, resurrect, and give property buffs, you will be able to make your party live longer. And in turn, your party members will be able to defeat more monsters. As a result, you will gain more EXP.

Additionally, you can choose to get the Mandragora Marionette that have higher MAG and MP regeneration. Also do not forget to bring Magic Candies to restore your MP.

Some Vates may choose to go solo hunting, however it has some disadvantages that you should be aware of:

* Can only hunt undeads and dark property monsters. There are only a few monsters with dark property. Additionally, your hunt space might be hijacked by other Vates that are also going solo.
* Your status might need to be focused entirely on MAG. You will most likely sacrifice your DEX and VIT. The lack of DEX will make it longer for you to cast skills. The lack of VIT will decrease your survivability.

**Solo Vates**

* At level 1-25 / 30, you can heal Undead Pandas at Lake Utena.
* At level 20-30, you can try healing Living Deads in Continental Cave.

Alternatively,

* At level 20-40, you can hunt at Undead Island or Undead Castle (currently unavailable). You might want to focus on dark monsters that you can heal At level 40-50, you can focus on all monsters since all monsters on that area has dark properties.
