getting throught the 40-50 lvls

How'd you guys do it without MG?

I've tried MC1 but the survivability sucks, training yields similar results... where/how did you get through these lvls without mg?

Another option is to go to the stone/mixed golem mini dungeon and use that 2nd job fire attack. You'll probably miss some on the mixed golems, but you won't get hit and you can hit two platforms at once. Obviously it's slower than training with magic guard at some area with ice breath, but you wont die atleast.
