HELP :) SK soloing advice, lvl 56

[Lange]

Greetings fellow EQ'ers!

I have a lvl 56 human SK on blue, I'd like to reach level 60 on him.
I'm looking for a steady good soloing exp spot, kinda like Dyrna in the basement of High Keep (not nesscessary as easy/good) the past last levels, just flew down there... but once I hit level 56.. it really slowed down, so much I dont find it "worth the time" anymore.

About my SK, hes pretty decent geared.
He has 36% haste, eyepatch of plunder for 20% haste buff, epic with awesome lifetap proc for soloing, fungi, Flowing thought 2, full Blood Ember set for all the clickies, and generally just high AC hp items all around.

I know its obv. better for me to team up with a shaman and duo, but im looking for just "me time" where I can advance on hes progress, but just solo.

Could anyone help?

If you really insist on misery that is SK soloing, Lguk is solid since they have low Hp and you have undead nukes.

Personally recall soloing most of last 50s on Butcherblock docks guards. Not exactly optimal, but easy lazy camp.

PoM rats is your one stop to 60,just bring plenty food and drink... I am getting around 5% exp per hour at 60 there... It's trivial solo, just get and use the wiki map for spawn point & pathing...

Edit: grouping with a shaman is good for what you can take on, not for exp, it's way more efficient to duo with a ranger, rogue or monk...

Thanks Brut! and elwing! :)

elwing, I thought of forest trash at first.. just facetank, which im sure I can handel.
But rats.. those should be snare n fearkited right?

[elwing]

With your gear you can almost certainly face tank... But that gonna be long downtime... Fear kite is the way, find an empty corridor, pull the rat far and fear kite, yes

You tried tar goos in WL? Or the Hole I’d say.

SK soloing isn't as bad as it used to be when you were leveling to 60. It's gotten a lot better due to no more hybrid penalty, the latest patch with the 2h dmg bonus & being on war dmg table, and access to big ratio velious weapons. I find it extremely enjoyable and relaxing, I can alternate between face tank/fear kite and hide/FD when I need to afk. Knowing where to hunt and with some added gear the xp is probably faster than most groups.

Find a solo place where you also have the ability to pick up a lfg healer +/- a 3rd leg for dps. Best of both worlds. With your gear you shouldn’t have problems.

Hit me up if you ever wanna duo with a shaman. Mine is 58, fungi, epic, solid gear in most other slots too.

what's the name of your Shaman? :)

Could a bard solo him? I like the 8 min respawn - Camps where I can step away and do stuff around the house are always a plus. Thanks in advance Wallicker, always good advice.

SK and Shaman at the Neriak arena will get to 60 in a hurry if duo, this is what i did. After regretfully being stubborn and attempting to solo grind in the hole for 7+ hour time periods.

The faction is unique to only NeriakOgres iirc.

Interesting! - thanks everyone for input :)

If your bard is 54+ I’d suggest TD raptors, just selos song of travel to social pull all 15 then pbaoe snare and dot to kill them all then AFK for 12 mins come back and do it again great Xp til 57-58 good Xp til 60.

If a Druid or wizard is out there offer to duo, will speed up their xp and yours will be about the same, but your kill time drops significantly in a duo

Hmm typically I don't swarm on bard but TD raptors, island to myself, I may just do it. I don't think I've ever swarmed snaring the mobs either, Always just Selo's and dotted. So that should be a fun change - Do you find this method is as taxing on the fingers? That and zone disruption are why I typically shy away from swarming - Did it a ton on live years ago and I am pretty sure my hands are still mad at me. Thanks Wallicker - always good Bard advice. Cheers mate.
