I logged my 60 wiz to get the cobalt scar key and the velious portal spells... decided to run back up the CS tower to key back into Skyshrine. Ran into the wyverns not realizing my invis was down, no sweat, I'm just gonna key in...wait where is my loving key... check bag 1, check bag 2, ....LOADING PLEASE WAIT.

Illtair. I'm playing a lot more since December. If you hand off guild leader to me (my wiz), I can officer tag a bunch more guys in case of invite requests (we've had a few just this week).

When I get done playing this bard, I'm going to make a rogue and level him completely solo and untwinked just like I did with the warrior. So excited. That should take a few months.

I'll toss guild lead back to you before I take my next break.

On that note, my rogue solo project is going decent. I'm 8 weeks in and already level 47. My guy is completely untwinked, unlike some other heathens.

I'm also not using the bind wound macro during combat. I did use it for a few early levels, but it was making things too easy.

Relayer posted:

What are you soloing on an untwinked rogue at level 47 if you don't mind me asking?

1-8 in Steamfont from the newbie area until I maxed out on the kobold camp.


8-13 in Butcherblock various mobs, bats, lower goblins, etc.


13-14 in West Commons doing large spiders and wisps (some wisps would kick my rear end and I'd have to zone them). Did lightstone quest in SRO after killing wisps for nice exp and 9.5 plat per Giant Lightstone and +Dark Elf faction


14-27 in North Karanas killing willowwisps and doing the lightstone quest. Killing lions and beetles etc. Avoiding griffons and scary fast things. The leveling here is super fast, lightstone quest is ridiculous exp.


27-41 in South Karanas doing Aviaks of various types and I a little in LOIO for some Kunark flavor, but ended up going back to Aviaks. I used the bind wound macro from low 30s up to 37 and then stopped using it. It was making things way too easy.


41-47 started in FV, but the mob ghosting since patch was making that zone worse than it should be so I moved over to OT and had a much easier time of things by killing (Thorny Succulants, Stoneleer Chickens, Berzerkers) . I'm agnostic so I can bank in OT. Sarnak Berzerker war braids are great exp too and quickly (30 turn-ins) got my faction for the OT hammer (which I have but won't proc till 50).

Finally got the Pegasus Feather Cloak on a whim last night.

I grouped with a bard needing the cloak in South Karana and sat on a spawn point while he killed ph. This time, I brought many sacrifices to appease whatever horrible offense I had committed to prevent my ownership of this esteemed clicky. I dragged every avocet, archer, courser, bull elephant, lion, etc., and massed their corpses on my spawn camp.

After about 30 min Quillmane spawned, obviously moved by my grand slaughter. Cloak dropped, but I rolled a 27. More death was required.

We had a shaman join to sit on another spawn point. 15 minutes later, after I had doubled the carnage of sacrifice, she spawned again and this time the group decided to let me loot the cloak because they realized my /random was cursed to all hell. When I went to loot the corpse, it was glitched and I couldn't access it. The game was showing me one location, but the actual corpse location was several yards away and no amount of /loot spamming would work. I quickly relogged with a few min left and was able to take that elusive cloak into my possession.

Then we decided to test and see how generous the RNG would be if we tried spawning another Quillmane for our shaman friend. Less than 10 minutes later another Quillmane spawned out of the mass of dead bodies at my spawn location and it had... another cloak. 3 Quillmane spawns, 3 cloaks.

My apologies to the guy who's getting nothing but pants for the next 30 spawns.

Shaman's can solo pretty well and Clerics are more group dependent. It depends on your play style.

I never used the bind wound during combat trick with my warrior. He had the evasive discipline that recycled pretty fast and a huge hp pool, it wasn't really needed (but I did have to run from mobs at times, bind wound after getting enough distance, and then re-engage).

I did use the bind wound during combat trick with my rogue from my mid 20s until I hit 30s. I decided that it was a bit too easy and stopped using it; I couldn't be certain if it was classic or not. When I was soloing seafuries (starting at 54), I had to run about 40% of the time and bind wound, but it got easier once he had the money saved up to buy the fungi.

There was a thread about soloing a rogue to 60 and pretty much everyone said "can't be done." Hahahahahahaahahahahahaha. I'm retarded enough to prove them wrong.

Also, there is a way to strafe and get off backstabs on mobs that I solo. I finally got it to work last night after someone got on my stream and told me about it. I have no plans to rely on it, but it's fun to do once in a while. It's taking advantage of how this server works, a slight delay when a mob hits you that prevents them from instantly facing you if you strafe quickly.

Hunting Grounds
  • Level 1-8 in Steamfont from the newbie area until I maxed out on the kobold camp.
  • Level 8-13 in Butcherblock various mobs, bats, lower goblins, etc.
  • Level 13-14 in West Commons doing large spiders and wisps (some wisps would kick my rear end and I'd have to zone them). Did lightstone quest in SRO after killing wisps for nice exp and 9.5 plat per Giant Lightstone and +Dark Elf faction.

I'm agnostic so I can bank in OT. Sarnak Berzerker war braids are great exp too and quickly (30 turn-ins) got my faction for the OT hammer (which I have but won't proc till 50).
  • Level 47-49 I was having severe issues because rogues have a low hp pool. Mobs were sending me running for zonelines (strafing of course). I had to rely on North Karana to farm plat, by killing Hill Giants, Griffons, and wisps for the lightstone quest. It took me 2 weeks and I was able to raise 10k for my +5 regen bp (partially helped by a few Swarm Mother kills that netted me things like a blue diamond). I was also able to raise 2.2k to buy the two Blood Points and another 1.4k for a Locustlure. These items combine to help make it possible for me to kill low blues.
  • Level 49-54 Dreadlands killing occasional blues and greens that give exp (light blues). Hitting level 50 opened up better innate hp regen and also allowed me to use blood points for the siphon effect (80 HP life drain). These are important to my ability to solo, and even allow me to kill low blue mobs pretty consistently.
  • Level 54-56 Ocean of Tears killing Seafury Cyclops. This was a camp I had to take up in order to save up enough money for a fungi tunic. It took me roughly 7 weeks to save up enough plat. I also stayed here to earn money for other expensive armor items (ie Matchless Dragonleg Breeches, Silver Chitin Wristband, etc).
  • 57 The Wakening Land killing Tar Goos.
  • 58-59 The Wakening Land killing Geonids and Tar Goos (some still blue even at level 59). South Qeynos bank guards (bye bye Banker faction).
