View Full Version : High level SK solo (56+). Where can it be done?

Fear kiting obviously is the best for efficiency. But I also like to go semi afk and watch movies, do chores, etc. which makes small 1 or 2 pull tank and spank camps work for my playstyle. My dps is pretty low with 16% haste and 30/35 2hs.

Right now the places I camp are:
Faydwer guards
HHK nobles
lower guk archmagi (got pwnd by an abnormally hard hitting mob here recently, haven't gone back since)
lower guk ass supp

The exp is low for all these at level 56, but they are overall pretty safe and relaxed experience. I usually rotate to a different one after I get bored and/or my bags get full. Can anyone please help me expand this list? I know there's gotta be some high ZEM dungeon camps that I don't yet know about that are safe for a slow hitting SK with less than stellar gear. Please help me carve out a slow but steady path to hitting 60 by the time Pantheon comes out in 2025. Thanks.

The hole entrance, easy splitable and facetankable at 56...

There's no good ZEM 50+ except maybe some Nobles in HHK? Not sure when that's good until. The only one that used to be was kedge, but that got nerfed a few years ago. Still, I'd go oldschool and recommend SolB. Hell, you can even try bear pits in Perma. Can always FD if shit hits the fan, there's room to fear kite in there.

Honestly though, if you're getting wrecked by Lower Guk mobs, gonna be tough pretty much anywhere which is why fear kiting is preferred. I was gonna suggest Lord Hall in lguk, but that only gets harder

Pretty sure you could do geonids in wakening lands solo or in a pickup group since people are always there.

Yea 56+ (or even 54+) solo for a melee is a test of patience. Ideally I'd find a place that you could easily group if you have time for it or solo in a pinch.

Thanks for the replies. I tried The Hole entrance and definitely found it to be a good addition to break up the monotony. I think I will try geonids next in WL.

What would you recommend to solo in SolB? I've tried bats and spiders before but never stuck with it long enough to determine if the exp rate was better or worse than I had with the other camps.

Lava Duct Crawlers im sure. They have a dot they put on you though.

Geo's is a good camp but will be hard solo due to SK DPS sucking animal balls. I duoed with necro there and it was good XP

I would get Seb keyed and just camp out there - tanks are usually in high demand

I saw a feller around that lvl killing guards in kaladim.

Light blue at 54, imagine wanting to grind 54 on those let alone 56 :/

A shadow knight recently told me he soloed 59 fear kiting at the bottom of the hole, where master yael spawns....

Seems really doable, there's quite some room there... Just hope not to have rock golem with our low dps or wanderer cause these sucks...

Pro tip for Yaels room - you can wiggle through the supposedly unopenable door with ducks and it zones you out

I soloed 56-57 doing frenzied ghoul in Lower guk, never got belt though, just 20 rings

I'm in a similar boat as OP. 1/3 of the way through 57 right now, but it's been a long road since everything greened out at 55.

Fear Kites:
52-53 I did giants in Eastern Wastes at GD zone.
54 I did Barbarian guards in Everfrost (#5 on the map)
55-57.333 has taken me 7 months... because I just lost steam on the solo train

Certain Butcherblock Dwarf guards are blue until 60. The two at the docks, then one 30 seconds east of dock (Guard Rundul, not the one standing by the stone immediately east of docks). Also in BB is Nyzil Bloodforge (inside the hut @ #18 on the map), a lvl 45 NPC on a 6m 40s timer. The problem with Nyzil and Rundul is pulling them without getting high green guard adds. Otherwise you are spending all your time killing high greens, and while they give xp, you could probably kill 20 of them and not see your bar move. The BB guards are on a 24 min spawn which is really long and the camp only makes about 2% per hour :/ Every guard drops a dwarven axe that sells for 4pp and some change, and a possibility of FS weapons as well. I usually make ~100pp each time I am at weight and need to sell (conveniently in-zone at DRU rings merchant).

TBH I have been grouping in The Hole, Chardok and Seb as much as possible and that is much more lucrative than soloing IMO. But yes I would prefer the AFK easy-peasy fear-kite camp too :D

For 57 I did a bit of velk and the hole grouping (for like 1yellow) lots of fear kite in tt of undead and giants in bw, some fear kite in the bottom of the hole and some face tanking at the hole entrance..

About where for ghosts in TT?

The ones near tt zl... It's slow as 3/4 are green, but steady trivial exp... Wish I known this spot earlier than 55... Undead so you can use the really cheap undead only fear... And lots of wizard meaning trivial kills with fear...

I checked it out last night. Yeah, one blue spectral commander, and the rest green-con keepers. I killed a few then just joined an ABC group in Seb. I'll try them again and see how many it takes to get 4%. It's approx 16 BB guards (3 per 24 mins - so we're talking 2+ hrs) for 4%. If ghosts are faster, I'll do them because they're much easier, and Panic the Dead is 50 mana compared to 120 mana for Invoke Fear :)

Thanks for he tip.

Nobles in HHK seems like would be the fastest easiest solo route to 58? I made 10% an hr or more just drum dotting the two nobles on my bard at 53

I just did velks entrance 57-60. Easy slow exp, but better than lfg. You'll get the occasional wanderer asking to duo or trio. I did a bunch of that too.

Don’t see why you wouldn’t be able to easily fearkite her and she is in a huge zem zone with a 6 min respawn should give exp til 60

I soloed in Karnors while LFG. Just pull mobs to zone or moat. Can fear kite too, just watch out for trains.

The dogs in TOFS 6 might be blue at 55 56 but I believe are all dark green at 57

Pretty easy for their lvl.

At 56 I was either soloing Suits in WL or in Seb. Tanks often needed there and we're great group tanks.
