Once you have epic, at probably 52 you can solo at the pit in the Hole (helps to have the summon shuriken bracer for pulling). You can even get +paineel faction in the warrens, learn the sneak / flop route to paineel teleporter to vendor and restock bandages.
For the Hole solo pro, can make a low level gnome magician that worships brell. Spend about 1k in bone chips to hand in Kaladim for easy exp to 12. Once you get bind you can really help yourself solo as a monk. Can create a low level pet to train away mobs, camp over, then run quick on your monk to a safe spot and flop until they path back. Great for navigating (but careful not to train anyone). You also can summon stacks of bandages easy and drop xfer them.
Can even drop xfer your goods and sell em in paineel (requires a bit more time investment, like your mage farming warrens faction).
I soloed every bit of exp from 56-60 in the Hole, I parsed my log and I made around 56k in vendor trash and Loam / Smoldering brand drops. (Yes, I had a Brell factioned wizard that i can drop xfer to, port to WC, and sell on my EC mule... I have Hole love issues).
Loam prices have fallen about half since I was there, but still get some good quick sells out of it. Need some root nets to take out some of the named reliably, they can be beasts.
Recommend packing +MR / +FR sets for the casters, I tried to get 110 MR and 150 FR to get reliable resists and minimal damage. Epic a must to interrupt casting too.
My main reason for taking this solo route is I had very sporadic play time and had to take frequent AFKs (new baby). So duoing / grouping wasn't an option, so worked perfect for me. Camps were almost totally uncontested.
