Extream Soloing - what zones do you solo?

Ballads · 08-12-2009, 09:30 AM

So i basically made my wizard because of their excellent soloing ability. Well you can only do so many rounds in kanor's before you want something with something teeth to it. I chose OOA for the easy plats. Once you get by the first room the plat named is pretty easy, last named took me a while but it dies first or second try now.

So now I'm thinking whats my next challenge? What is everyone else soloing for profit? I like that fine line between doable and no chance ,but remember you gotta be able to turn a profit. Keep in mind I wont plug pull, climb, or hack in anyway to get to them and i only got tinker fd.

Do earring mob in AoB... Can train to its hall, and only kill 6 sets of trash mobs to spawn it.

Lately I've been working on soloing Labs. Not so much for the loot (although I dunno maybe some people would shell it out for appearance gear) but for the challenge. I'm gotten the first two nameds down to 15% so far, just need a bit more gear to push it the rest of the way. I think that would be hard for a wizard to do though since the epics are immune to root.

like you said, OOA is doable, but after doing it twice i lost the interest because clearing the entrance hall is so damn tedious :/

also unrest can be dualboxed (cant get past the witch without 2 chars in group), but is fairly easy to do, including bugaboo.

and yea... this might be a nobrainer, but several classes are able to do chelsith.

also this might not be possible for most classes, but the x2 crab in shin _is_ soloable... theoretically.... given a proper amount of highend-gear... avirodar (sp?) did prove it

Good call working on it lowest i got was 43%

. Portal cant be avoided that i can tell, might work on it some more later, just cant get around the portal problem atm.

First room is a little tedious, but can get it down to around 15 minutes which isn't bad compared tot he times i wasted farming in PU groups. Most heroic bosses in the game can be 2 boxed with some work and the right 2 classes (wiz-temp i think.) Chelsith i have done a few times but since they made the rare named always up i haven't seen a master drop nor have i had any luck selling the legendary. Crab might be interesting as long as i can take his melee hits.

Only the ones you said, OoA and the other mentioned Chelsith. OoA will get less tedious the more gear you get, ive got it down in under 30 min now. You can solo the first 2 names in VoES and the first 2 names in Maidens. I'm sure you could solo the book named in VoES but its really a pita and i wiped a couple times completing it.

I'm sure theres other crap I could solo here and there but, as far as good solid runs I just stick to OoA and Chelsith. Both can be done in under 30 min, so time is good. OoA has an average of like 10p per chest + profit from all the shinys you get. And Chelsith is just a solid 7 name farm run.

Get a timer on portal, and stun/stiffle.. I can 2 box it with my illy/guard, and it never once gets portal off... but as an illy i stiffle on inc, and keep it stiffled/stuned/dazed for over 95% of the fight.

Soloed Lab, tired in DT on beholders:p 20 min to kill each a bit anoing.
Soloed OOA and tryed some other instances too.
Tryed x2 Trex in KJ-wiped on 85%:p he hits very hard.
I'm sure i can kill most mobs that don't shooting me in 10-15 sec,but it will take sooooo much time so i don't even want to try.

I solo'd Nek 3 a bunch for 70 masters for muters. Can do it in 8 minutes on average and get about a master a run.
