Cleric soloing at 38

[chuckina22]

Hey guys...need a little help with some solo options for my level 38, meagerly geared cleric. The only real items of note would be a Testament of Vanear and Cone of Mystic, otherwise there isn't much going on.

So I know specters might be an option, however despite not attempting them yet I'm a bit hesitant to this early on.

Anyone have any bright ideas on where to solo around this stage?

What race?

unrest basement, high hold keep guards, undead in CoM

Unrest hag room is a possibility, they're a pain to break but its doable if your gear isn't terrible (they get very slow at 40).

Basement isnt such a good choice, multiple mobs, some werebats etc make for inefficient non-undead nukes :(

39-49 is totally spectres though if your mana pool can handle them, I'd go to Feerott as Oasis has that annoying water feature to negotiate (or root nuke the ones in OOT, guaranteed not to be camped, but remember to bind :p). Specs much easier at 44 (they die in 3 nukes).

If you really wanted, get to 39 however and you'll be in demand for many groups. CoM should be fast leveling :p

I've been levelling a newbie Ogre and the Feerott specs are camped pretty regularly, at least in the (US time) evening hours. At least a lot of "CC" checks and replies indicating such.

Yeah, some ogres can cash in if the clerics/druids/etc need their scythes sold. My cleric was a dark elf so could sell outside Oggok but I imagine if I were a halfling it would get old having to sell/bank in Freeport/RV each time :p

Just got superior heal at 34, better go fucking solo.

Well only a fool would assume soloing is my primary objective. In the case of the dense, allow me to further define my request as such:

Although I am a cleric and grouping is my primary concern/source of XP, the situation may exist where either I lack the time to commit to a group or simply an available group slot cannot be found. With this being said, where would a cleric facing certain quandaries stated above seek out XP that he or she may procure independently?

Oh, and thanks guys for the constructive posts!

Id suggest posting up at the specs in feerrot while keeping an eye open for Lguk groups. You can also hunt around the Zone Lines in Lguk. Its safe, plenty of undead frogs which are some of the lowest HP mobs, and you can always zone if things get dicey. Plenty of opportunity to sell rezzes. You can pick up some nice gear and loot in Guk and its a fun challenge.

If you're going to rez in Lower Guk though be firm and tell them you want their corpse dragged to the zoneline - don't head on down towards ass/sup etc trying to do people a favor for 20-30pp... you'd be amazed how little people will want to donate for your time/effort :p

Unrest basement until lvl 40. You can calm a couple until you get the timers down. Once you hit 40, I highly recommend going to Spectres in OOT due to NO COMPETITION. I've currently been here for the past 5 levels and have never had anyone do a CC for spectres.

You need to be careful though and bind at sister's island so you can gate back to sell items. Swimming from there is a short trip. When you kill the specs, make sure you kill the one facing north, until you feel comfortable pacifying/calming the other ones. The one facing north is the only one that is a single pull. If you pull any of the others, youwill get 2-3 on you.

I thought it was funny.

You just NEED to go to CoM. Like has been said. Tons of undead, no nukers, casters in there. And nobody is going to turn down a Cleric in there even if they know you will only stay half an hour. People always looking for a rez. So can make some plat also. You can stay there to level 50. Then I would move to KC or Seb. Lots of undead in KC also.

As a Cleric you really don't NEED to group and when you do it is not that hard to get one. You need to level up anyways if you are into playing a Cleric. Because when Velious comes out people will be kissing your behind to have you in their group. Mobs hit hard as hell in Velious and fights last a LONG time. :eek:

Specs will only be doable at 38 for a cleric if you have fairly good gear. My Cleric has 195 WIS and if he got more than a couple of resists he had to run/gate. At 40 things get a little easier but you still need a fairly large manapool. It takes 7 Expel Undead hitting for max damage to down a Spectre. That's 910 mana. You will also probably have to Root/Enstill 2-4 times per Spectre. Let's assume you are using Enstill and you only have to root twice, that's another 120 mana. At 40 I was still getting a lot of resists. I think my mana pool was around 1450. That's not a huge margin for error when you may need a heal or two as well.

I'd suggest doing the hag room in Unrest until 40 and then moving to the Spectres. That's the path I took and it worked out well for me. Even as a dwarf with 45 CHA I was still able to successfully break the room with lull. Especially at 35+. I ended up getting quite a few Bloodstained Tunics/mantles as well. I gave a ton of them away and put several on alts and I still have 4 tunics and 2 mantles sitting in my bank.

CoM stables its slow but doable till 40

go com, you can snipe solokills when little time and always welcome to groups. As healer and dps. can often even join non full group when little time. you will also get tons of cool weapons to give to newbies when you go back to towns.

Through 39 I soloed unrest tower. 40-46 I think I paid for a powerlevel. Those levels are really slow to solo. Pre-44 soloing Spectres sucks cause you don't have banish. 46-51 I duoed in kedge with a Druid. Was amazing exp. Cleric + Ench/Dru combo rocks socks in Kedge through about 54-55.

Keep seeing this in the thread. At 38 he only has revive (0%) and at 39 will only have 50%. People won't take it unless they're minutes from their timer expiring. 95% of people will wait until a higher cleric comes in the zone.

[Ravager]

I solo'd various guards across norrath on my cleric to 51, but my cleric was evil.

[phantom]

In a few more levels take a look at the abandoned combine outpost near the druid and wiz ports in Dreadlands. Mid 30s to low 40s skeletons, no casters, no adds, never camped, fast spawn rates.

This is a great spot. Also over by the FV zoneline there are undead ruins. Often times a wraithbone champion wielding the hammer is there.

halflings can sell to one particular ogress....

Tricky for them to bank nearby though :/

That self entitled thing at work again...and the fact there's plenty of epic clerics floating around these days. Combine that and a lot of people don't want to donate, and even want you to run half way through LGuk to rez them where they died :p

People ask you to rez them halfway across the world. Numerous tells for rezzes in MM and LoIO when I'm sitting in EC/FP area. Best are the 20p tips for a rez in MM when I gave the druid 50p for the port to go there for them. Oh well though, I'll keep doing it anyway. :p

Well I realize that 0% sucks and 50% is nothing to write home about. But getting BACK to CoM is no easy task. IF you are the main Tank in a group and are bound in Freeport like a lot of them are the group is over by the time you could ever run back with a port. 50% rez looks pretty huge in that situation.

If you get in the right group in CoM at times you can level like hell in there. I will take 0% just to get back. Now if you are a level 60 you WANT a 96% trust me. But like I said it is a HARD place to get back to.

[HowlingMad]

When I soloed. I leveled off Spectres in Feerrott.

I took the deeper camps and learned that there are a few spots you can safely sit and med at without concern.

When not exping solo, finding a chanter that charms mobs o duo with will be a really fast way to level.

Emerald jungle / TT are also good mines for undeads around mid-40s.
