Moloing is short for mercenary soloing, which consists of forming a group only with one's mercenary companion and going forth to kill mobs or complete quests. For most classes, moloing offers numerous advantages over fighting truly solo, since it effectively allows players to carry either a cleric or a warrior in their pockets without needing to invest in the second account necessary for boxing. The fact that the merc will operate according to AI instead of requiring the player to input all of its commands is also a plus for most situations, although in difficult zones more micromanagement of the merc may be necessary.
