Monk soloing in the 40s

[Tethler]

I'm looking for solo spots for a low 40's non-fungi monk. The usual suspects are pretty much always camped when I check (DL yeti caves, CC geos) and could use some suggestions.

Suggestion #1 - Don't solo as an untwinked Monk and do your time in CoM and SolB like everyone else.

Suggestion #2 - Find a shaman, bard, or a necro friend and you guys could rip it up on the wall in Dread Lands fear kiting

I'm twinked (20-25k in gear) just don't have a fungi. I've solo'd and duo'd really the entire time from 1-43 so far. I actually just had my first full group last night in solb. I don't mind grouping, but I have a 3 year old and have to frequently afk which is why I have preferred to solo and duo.

Anyone have any actual suggestions for solo spots rather than suggestions to do something other than what I asked about?

Can probably get some exp in LGuk and camp raster while you're at it.

Better hope your an iksar, or else your really going to be struggling

Monks are basically sh!t at soloing, not sure what your looking for other than people telling you that soloing is a terrible idea. Raster camp in L Guk will be VERY hard (probably impossible) while you are low 40s unless Fungi. I had trouble there at 47-48 when doing my robe (no fungi/Sky Belt).

Without reliable regen and good haste....you should maybe roll a Necro for times when you have your daughter.

at 43 you could probably solo some in mistmoore castle and pit?

At 43 you should be able to solo in OT. It's not the best exp, unless you're turning in braids...but it's doable.

Do CC, Bank in Zone, vendor to buy Food and Bandages , good loot and great EXP till 47/48.....trust me....

[Tethler]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone, I appreciate it. I'll check out some of these spots :)

I know this was an immediate thread derail, but honestly its the best advice. If you happen to get hooked up with a real down shaman you guys can duo really well. Without fungi it might be barely faster than grouping, only because you guys will be consistently moving, whereas with a group you never know when the healer is gonna bounce and leave you guys 15minutes stalled out. Also, if you're shamy is understanding, he can just root rot while you're AFK, which would be nice to keep experience flowing.

That being said, if i were you i'd just hit a CoM and you could get to 48 or 49 in the next few days.

My buddy is powerleveling a shaman right now, so I may be able to go that route before too long. I have done a lot of soloing so far, but I have also duo'd a lot with my brother, who is also leveling a monk and that has worked out nicely since we can FD on each other and swap whos tanking as needed. We did some duoing last night and between sola gnomes then DL yeti cave we both got about a level and a half in 3ish hours. I realize that eventually I will hit a wall where mobs are doing too much damage or have too many hp to solo. I'd just like to keep it going as long as possible.

I really love CC, such a nice place for people who can sneak and use the vendors!

Yeah. I did orcs there from 32-38ish and made quite a bit of plat along the way by selling velium ore. I've been hoping to nab the geo camp for a bit, but every time I go there someone is already there.

Try terrors when genos are taken....
