Hey guys, been leveling my Iksar monk on red and I will hit 43 soon, mainly solo. I am looking for suggestions on good solo spots for 43 and beyond.
I have a Wu's Quivering Staff, 2 Trance Sticks, and the worst gear you've ever seen (mainly resist items and curscale). Each camp I needed mobs with low HP, low damage output, etc.
Currently I am at the entrance to lower Guk and everything is about to green out. Guk has been great since 39 because it has easy to kill mobs, decent money, occasional groups and proximity to item camps. I can pop over to upper Guk and snag an AC or a squire spawn.
So let me know if you have any suggestions that are near good group spots, item mobs, melee bind, merchants, etc.
Right now I'm thinking SolB near a SolA zoneline and maybe Permafrost?
Here is my idea for the best path for a leveling Iksar Monk that wants to stay in Kunark until 35 for Riposte. I prefer spots with exp and monk-friendly loot.
1-11 FoB - Great spots all over. Bone chips and silks can be sold to other players. Also do the quest for newbie monk gear.
12-20 Kurn's - Great exp, bone chips galore, and wide level range.
20-29 Lake of Ill Omen - Sarnaks are great since you have a shot at an earring of station and a bracer of the hidden when you can do Lego's. Also consider doing the ruins around the Sarnak Courier spawn for a shot at a Goblin Ring $$$$.
29-33 Brutes outside Dalnir entrance in WW - really low hp with gem drops. Could probably do these even higher.
33-35 Giant fort in WW - The Evergreens still give great exp when I needed a place to stay until training in Riposte. The giant tunics sell for 64p, which is nice.
Warning: Bring a TON of throwing items with you and use them sparingly when you leave Kunark. They can be hard to find in the old world, especially when playing on a lower pop server like I am. Bandages are easier to come by. I load up my bank with both when I'm in Cab.
35-38 Gnolls in SK outside Splitpaw. Easy to kill mobs that you can Intimidate kite if you wish. Bonus - Kill all the north and south pathing lionesses and elephant cubs you see to get possibly spawn Quillmane. He has a 1/3 chance of spawning where he will path by you. And then you have a 1/20 chance of him having the levi cloak! Kill those PH's! (I tried inside Paw but the first 3 mobs were greened out and it got dicey after that for not much better exp) Can run to Aviaks to sell, buy gems and bandages, whatever. Monks can also run to Lake Rathe to kill the undead gnoll for epic. Bind in NK or arena.
35-38 Guards in HHK. Each floor has 2-4 that are blue at this level and each one has a FS sword that you can sell to the Enchanter spell guy. Great money and decent exp. Can bank and buy bandages also. Bind in zone or elsewhere. Made about $2K doing 2 levels here on red.
38-42 Sol A is awesome. I had a rotation where I would kill a few gnomes then go check the Foreman spawn and the bar. The Goblins can be pretty rough when they are casters so I eventually started just doing Gnomes and Foreman. Singe PH also paths through the Gnomes, which is great. Can loot ore to sell to the Goblin merchant, but beware, he is guarded by a roaming mob that can be a nasty priest caster. Merchant in zone that sells bandages. Can head over to Temple of Ro to buy Peridots. Made about 600pp here in peridots in one level. Bind in FP or Neriak.
38-43 Lguk entrance - Multiple mobs and two pathers. Beware the Shamans have a 40% heal they cast and they will debuff you to oblivion. Can also pop over to Uguk and kill the PH for your favorite item camp here. Picked up multiple groups for Frenzied and ass/supp in the evenings.
43-? We will see. Tried DL Yetis at 40 and I was losing a lot of HP on each one and the loot is crap.
