I managed to get my sorcerer to 120lv by doing ti, but i got sick of it. What would be good places outside ti to get exp? I tried juperos earlier, but i was dying even with kaahi lvl 7
Also, is it actually possible to get more exp by solo levelling outside ti instead of grinding in 12/12 party?

Note: i dont have faw sp19 nor tsod set, i guess it will severly limit my options...

AL2 is pretty nice because sorcs get natural dragon resistance, and with some relatively cheap gear (stone buckler of dragoon), Dragon's helm, You can stack a lot of dragon resistance. 

 

This was where i 150'd my Sorcerer before they had Gramp TIs. It might seem slow to you, but with kaahi, you should be fine. If it seems slow at 135~ you can always do Scaraba dungeon.

Hmm, exp seems nice but 48k hp? that would require like 3 casts of pwave since i do around 22k dmg with it o_O

If you're not on TI count, yes soloing is a lot faster and more effective provided you are killing things fast enough, in an AOE, and you are keeping your HP / SP up somehow that doesn't require sitting (nobody sits for HP/SP anymore). If you are on TI count, the reward already pays off the 400 (+400 if VIP) monsters you kill. But you might wait the same amount of time for a party.

Anyway, gramps does make things a lot easier and organized, but every player realistically should try out soloing sooner or later to really learn how the game works.

A Sorcerer shouldn't really die with Kaahi on, especially not at Juperos. Make sure you have proper reducs, like a good shield, and immune (or deviling!) garment. TSoD + Skull Cap combo is good but there are also cheaper options if you want good cast reduction. You can also opt for high DEX for fast cast too.

Spell cycle. Blue acidus are weak to earth grave, Red ferus is weak against diamond dust.

I only have Pwave, i left DD on lvl 3 because it dealt little to no damage :/

uhm, caster sorcs usually get more than one spell, and spell cycle. The 4 i use are VS, DD, EG, and PW. I'd recommend getting them... 

With the right gear, i was doing 50k+ DD damage to an Imp effectively one shotting them. Its one of my most powerful spells.

Is your job level super low or something? Psychic wave, Varetyr Spear, Earth Grave, and Diamond Dust have no sorc pre-reqs.

The only way you can die as a sorc with kaahi up is if you run out of sp. You need to keep using indulge so that you don't run out of sp.

Nah, when I was planning build i decided to only take Pwave and skip varetyr, grave and dust.
As for dying, i took more than 1k dmg from each hit and used lvl 7 kaahi, dunno why i kept dying
