Monk solo lvl 54

[nordbear]

Hey!

Looking for advice on where to solo on my lvl 54 monk. I got fungi, epic and 34% haste. Places I’ve tried to far:

Kaladim guards. Decent exp/coin but they all quad for some reason so can wreck me if unlucky.

Butcherblock guards. Decent exp/coin, no quad but a lot of running.

Hole entrance. Mix of blue/greens and if a named spawned I can’t take it down.

Kelethin guards. Decent exp/coin but they run off the platforms when fleeing which gets super annoying.

Been thinking maybe Karnor or Neriak guards but never tried any of those solo.

Any other ideas?

I know on my monk on blue I did solB bats/bugs and then graduated to LDCs after that. Not sure which camp you'd be on at that level as that is probably close to when I transitioned.

KC is definitely doable as well, if its not super camped try to split the room to the right of the well and get yourself a T-staff. I also did that to mix it up.

Plane of Mischief Rat Maze is great xp all the way to 60. Before the xp boost to the hole, that was easily the fastest solo leveling spot I could find from 55 onward. With FD you should be able to survive any issues. As far as I am aware it isn't easy for someone to train something big down there either, so it is very safe overall. You just need to be able to get CoTHed there, and the money isn't very good if you were trying to also farm plat. I can't remember if people require you to be 55 or higher for the CoTH (low level agro issues if I recall correctly), so you may need to get one more level first.

Tar goos in Wakening Lands. Also Faerie Dragons will still be good at that level, but about half will be green.

+1 for solB

LDCs may be a little rough at 54, but with your gear you'll prob be fine

[nordbear]

Thx for the suggestions guys! Will try karnor, goos and solb. I think PoM is a bit too high still. Planning on trying it around lvl 58-59.

Bards + noble + bosh in HHK is still OK at 54. You can also solo around the castle in the Hole.

[Baler]

You can do LDC to 60 but that's rough. I'd do LDC till 56-57
Then try and do efreeti trash to 60, you may have to duo with a shaman.

[Tunabros]

get a shaman and duo the entire bear pits

I did it on my ranger on blue and got to 55-60 in a matter of 5 days

[ScottBerta]

Entrance of Karnors will be ez, but +1 for getting a shaman and duoing.

You could easily solo the 3 Bandl barbarians in Everfrost until 55. All solo pullable and not tough on 6min 40 sec timer. Real chill.

Annoyingly the last time I checked the vendors are still assisting in HK so bards/nobles is a death sentence.

OP, have you tried the giant fort in burning woods?

I dunno if push is the same as it was, but on my monk Neriak cleric guards were a cakewalk at 54 because they'd stop fighting at 40% to CH themselves and with epic pushing them to interrupt was easy. Easy to split them too and they're on 6m40s timers and drop fine steel, so was a juicy camp at the time.

Another chill and empty spot is Orc Fort in EW. There is one Rygorr Elite guard that paths out of the building and spawns every 6 minutes.

The legionaires would still be green if you cared to slaughter them for a little extra exp. The elite guards were blue until 58 I think at which point about 1/4 to 1/2 go green.

There is about 8 more elite guards inside on longer spawn timers if you had harmony to split them since they basically all come at once and there is a shaman which makes splitting difficult since they are sowed.

I could see that place being great for a high 50's ranger to solo, or someone to duo with a druid or something like that.

Push is useless for interrupting casters now. If you are fighting a cleric pretty much expect that they will chain cast until they go out of mana unless you get super lucky with a stun proc.

Thx for all the suggestions! Some updates:

Did LDC for a few hours. Definitely doable at 54 with my gear. Could kill 5-6 before repops. A lot of HP to chug through though.

Did some goos in WL. Easier than LDC for some reason and better drops. Pretty convenient since they don’t drop and pp but only gems/low weight trash. SS pretty close by with vendor/bank as well.

just saw this thread but was gonna say i did goos all the way to like 57 or 58 on my monk starting at like 52 or something and made like 20k plat aswell super easy super casual nice drops.. not the best exp but was still solid and safe. 58-60 anything is going to feel super slow and difficult without a duo but if you do find a solid shammy, ratman warriors in the hole are very easy as long as you avoid the ratman guards

Goos dropped off pretty hard for me when I hit 58.

There is also this as a resource for anyone interested in a guide of places to hunt at 59. I assume it's also pretty relevant for anyone 58 or maybe 57.

Yeah at 58 its pretty much Hole (unfortunately)...or if you can find a shaman can go do geonids or velk / seb.

I was in Dreadlands on a level 57 and was surprised how many blue con Ravishing Drolvargs there were outside KC. Probably not a bad spot for levels 54 to 56 or so, with the bonus of being able to quickly join a group in KC if a spot opens and being very safe.

This guy spawns every 6m40s and should stay blue till 60 and is very easy to kill, can most likely do without epic and fungi. Not going to be amazing exp but it moves the bar and is safe. At level 57 I got 1% exp after 4 kills. So maybe 2% an hour in the mid 50s. Also drops a longsword and 1 to 3 plat per kill. Good afk camp.
