As a human druid of Tunare, is there any reason I need high or wood elf faction? I've done the Felwithe portion of my epic. I want to quad/rot both race's guards, but am scared I'll permanently gently caress up needed faction for later quests.

I am still active, but not guilded. My alt syndrome is out of control to be guilded right now, no raid guild would take me. Currently playing my mage right now - if there was a shred of hope of ever getting him his epic I would main him.

Characters:

Saryon 52 wizard
Orolin 52 magician
Clearbrook 52 druid
Kahvi 51 rogue
Ghworg 46 warrior
Drace 45 Shadowknight
Dezlen 45 ranger
Ruana 24 cleric
Several others that I don't play often.

If you're new and need some buffs/starting plat hit me up on one of those characters.

Erudite necromancer is the best necromancer.

Paineel is awesome too because you can level from about 20 to the mid 40s just on the undead guards. And they drop about 12pp worth of stuff per kill, with no faction hits. When I played my necro I made like 5k going from 20 to 24 there. It's pretty boring though.

Whenever I get around to playing again I think I'm gonna roll an Erudite SK.

I wouldn't. My erudite SK just dinged 51, and it's been a struggle due to low STR and STA. The added mana is nice when you solo and fear kite stuff, but you'll really start to notice the hp difference between an Erudite and a troll or ogre. You will automatically win fashionquest though.

Any good places to ghetto fear kite my way up to 55ish? I was thinking high elf guards like a necro, but I don't have the cc that necros get. Looking for steady pulls similar to OT/DL.

Anyone got a spot for a 55+ magician to solo level? I should be good to 57 where I am currently at (Kelethin), but I'm looking to the future/whenever Kelethin gets packed. Pulls need to be steady, as I can currently kill 15-20 mobs before I need to med. I realize that will probably change soon.

55 sucks. My mage is 55, and I'm not noticing a difference from 54. I was duoing with a 54 mage for 3 hours last night, and he was matching me in exp gains all night.

56 needs to be better with DDD.

Unless of course you are a masochist like moolchaba. I dont have archives but he did a warrior solo from 1-60 and 99% into 60 too!

:negative:

I am currently leveling my second warrior solo. He is a halfling, 46 right now and wrecking face against hill giants in rathe mountains. No fungi, only an ikky BP, but decent gear overall. If I can continue to improve his gear I'll probably go to mid 50s solo. My first warrior is also 46, but is a troll and unpleasant to look at.

Speaking of gearing, my halfling needs jboots, and I'm too poor to buy them right now. How do you get the south ro AC to spawn? The oot spawn is always camped when I try, and I'm not wasting hours sitting there when I could be leveling.

I also soloed my rogue to 51, that was retarded fun. Intimidate is broken on a rogue.

I spent a bunch of time doing the SRo AC thing, and its lovely. Its pretty common to have people park a character there, log on at the specific times he can spawn and try to snipe him, which happened to me after spending ~6 hours figuring out the placeholders and best times to kill things to maximize spawn chance. For the OoT spawn, you can usually ask whoevers doing it to put you on the list and go play an alt, and they can tell you when they're leaving. Granted that list can be several people long.

If you really want to try the SRo spawn, I can track down my notes and share them.

Yes please, I am leveling in Rathe Mountains, and don't mind running over to Sro to camp him. The few times I've tried camping the AC in Sro, there weren't many peeps there.

Ain't that the truth. I just got my War alt to 51 after soloing him from 1 --> 50 as a dumb dumb self-imposed challenge (thanks CoF and Fungi though).

I kind of want to continue AFK soloing him while I'm at work and stuff but don't really know where to go now.

I soloed a halfling warrior to 52 with worse gear than you have. You'll want a truncheon of doom for slows, it really saves on the dowtime. I stayed in DL, but you could probably do the lesser sarnaks, undead, and bees in burning wood along the DL zoneline.

I don't get the warrior solo hate. Yes, I wouldn't do it naked, or as a first character, but you can wreck things as a warrior from 1-45 fairly easily with 10-20k in gear. Crippling blows with a staff of battle or better turns mobs into paste quickly, bandage up to 50%, then pull another. I've done 3 warriors to 45 as I couldn't decide which race I liked best. 45-50, yes it sucks but still doable. After 51 gets really painful. Soloing at 52 in DL I was getting 2-2.5 blues an hour killing blue drolvarg ragers, brutes, and petrifiers. I've started grouping in KC due to bards taking all the DL mobs.

Communist Q posted:

Can you list where you solo'd as a rogue? I'm super curious how you managed to solo before instill doubt from 10 to 21.

Here is the path I took my solo rogue down. This was in kunark era.

North Ro then Oasis is super easy. Random wanderers in Ro, then low level caiman then crocodiles in Oasis. At most grab a partner, don't do a 6 man group there, the exp sucks that way. You can also do field of bone then Kurns 10-21. You will probably gain 2-3 levels a day this way. At 21-24/25 the orcs in Kith forest are great exp, and you can make money selling orc scalps. At 25 I went to EK and worked up intimidation on craig spiders until 28. It's not viable now, but I did 28-34 intimidating wooly mammoths in everfrost. LOIO seems like a decent a spot for those levels now. 34-41, pirates in FV. 41-45 I was in OT fear kiting berserkers and other mobs, and got my OT hammer for later. 45-48, hill giants in rathe mountains for money. I bought my epic at 48, then did 48-51 at the 2 wandering guards outside of Oggok for great exp, however you will need jboots or sow to do them efficiently. I stopped punching myself in the dick at 51 and grouped in KC to get my rogue to 53, although I would painfully solo stuff outside KC when the groups weren't biting.

As a wizzy, you can and should start quadding at 20. At that level you don't need a snare spell to kill stuff, only a sow. I highly recommend getting a flux staff to help pull. Hit me up on Thistledown after Tuesday of next week and I'll help you get one (currently on holiday).

I like the themed troll warrior gimmick. I've got a dungeon only cleric (21) I'm slowly working on.

Does Qeynos sewers count as a dungeon? My cleric did the specs there from 41-47. Made a ton of cash on a solo cleric there.

How are Rangers? Considering to roll one as an alt but do they need crazy twinking to be any decent?

They are second in terms of utility behind bards imo. In groups you can do everything-puller, tank, cc, dps, even limited healing against trash mobs. Tracking is an amazing ability, useful all the time. You do need halfway decent gear to solo anything, as rangers don’t have great defensive skills.

Mine has decent gear but no epic due to lack of a guild. I am really noticing the Dps loss when I solo at 57 compared to my epic rogue (who can solo well if she had a healing breastplate). Lack of epic is also hurting my grouping ability, as there are too many ranger twinks out there that are fully decked out compared to me.

You can also do wood elf guards to 55. My wizard did guards until 55, then DL drolvargs to 56, then BW to 57. There are enough blues in BW to get to 60, the issue is finding and pulling them. I use my ranger to track and pull them, drag them back to a spot, snare then log out. It is so much easier than running the wizard around looking for mobs.
