I still remember from 10 years ago that as an un-twink / completely new melee toon, I could solo a +1 yellow con at level 1 and it WAS a 50/50 fight. Starting at level 4 or so, the chance of soloing a +1 yellow con drastically decreased. it slowly became that solo'ing blue con mobs of -2 to -4 levels below me could still whop my ass. (For example, level 6 trying to solo a blue con gnoll at BB entrance, got owned)
I've played a monk, ranger, bard, war during the initial release of EQ, all had similar difficulties in solo'ing.
(anyone remember the undercon Griffs in NK?)
Leveling was tough as I remember, as a melee at least. I remember spending 7+ hours to get from level 1 to 5, carefully selecting my opponents to fight.
I still have the chart listing the different gaps of so called "blue con" mobs during different stages throughout a character's life. Is like at lvl 24, the level range of blue mobs become greater, I will list it when I get home. (as FYI for those who would be interested to know)
