without vit?! lol @ you! you dont lose vit off quests. I quit eq2, came back at xmas time, bought rok, played 1 week straight leveling to 80 and never ran out of my 100% vit.

if you focus on quests you should never run out of vitality while levelling up unless you are working 24/7. levelling my wizard up from 70 to 80 i finished the sledgemallet and had barely touched the clan stormshield quests before i hit 80.

the op asking for more solo quests means he either started in kylong plains at 67-68 or he retardeedly dumped off dozens of quests in previous zones.

I'd advise to reread, then feel ashamed and stand in a corner.

The OP basically wants to go from mid range to 80 in one zone when the entire RoK expansion was designed from zone to zone to take you to 80...solo. The whole expansion was an abomination from the get go, quest-wise, gear-wise, missing raid content, and the fact that it was entirely soloable in an MMORPG to get to 80.
They appealed to the casual shithead who jumps from game to game seeking instant gratification and lost alot of the more dedicated players.

This is completely untrue. The people who are running out of quests to do are the ones who start in ROK at L67 or so. If you start at 70 like everyone who was capped before ROK came out, hitting 80 off of just basic ROK content is not hard.

And don't discount collections or disco exp in instances either. Just because they aren't strictly adhering to the "I want to do eleventy billion solo quests and absolutely nothing else ever" motto of some retards out there, doesn't mean they aren't viable (and intended) content. The majority of collections can be easily obtained just by taking the time to stop and pick up shinies as you're questing, with holes filled in by a minute or two of broker crawling with all of that crazy plat you've earned from questing. Instance exp from disco and just plain running each instance or dungeon at least once does require a group, but it's not unrealistic nor unreasonable to expect people to have completed each of them just once.

Bottom line: Even ignoring group content you will be L80 if you started from L70. Don't make outlandish statements like the one above.

p.s. The JW repeatables ARE solo content, hate to break it to everyone. You still get 12 hits of AA from the entire series too, so don't act like they're not worth doing just because they don't give AA every time.

Not only that, there are hardly any group quests at all, so you're actually PUNISHED for grouping. SOS was crowded but at least Claymore made people work together..you know...after the 6 months of bugs were fixed and more than one person could get an update per server reset.

I doubt we need to re-hash the whining and moaning about solo vs. group content in RoK - its been covered quite thoroughly.

I trudged through the misery of the Stormshield quests, but I still have a bajillion KJ quests and some Fens/KJ quests that I haven't completed and hit 80 comfortably. If you're that deadset against Stormshield you can head back to KJ and finish off the last 4 levels. If not, a run thru the instances will net you some decent disco, and XP to help finish it all off.

I couldn't care less about the "storylines" - I click thru that garbage as fast as possible. If I want a good plot and some decent "lore" I'll read Chuck Palahniuk.

Become is right, theres more then enough quests and most of them are pretty easy...

My point was you cannot solo from 1-80 without vit.

PS: On my main I got to 80 just from quests and I think 1 ChelSith and 1 CoA run, without vit - so yea works for 70-80.
The thing is, when you level a new toon you will not reach 70 with quests, you'll run dry in the middle of DoF, catch up again, and at 66 you start to struggle again, which is why people start RoK "early".
