When could I solo crawl these dungeons?

Hey there, I've been making some solo dungeon crawl videos as I level my enchanter up and I have a list of lvl 50+ dungeons that I would like to tackle in the near future.

I'm not sure about the best level to begin attempting the crawl on some of them though. I know many of these higher dungeons won't be able to be taken down completely solo, but the goal really is to be able to solo crawl as deep as possible, earn experience, plus take out at least a couple named mobs.

I would love to hear your opinion on what lvl is an appropriate start to try and do my solo crawl for the following dungeons. It's been about 20 years since i"ve made it to this point in the game so I forget most of these dungeons plus some I've never even been to when I played in live.

Here is my list of zones I'd like to solo crawl and the level I plan on attempting them (mostly just guesses by studying the wikis)...

Karnor's Castle - 53
Howling Stones West - 54
Velks - ?55?
Howling Stones South - 56
Dragon Necropolis - 57
Chardok - 58
Seb - 59
Siren's Grotto - 59
Planes of Hate/Fear/Mischief - 59/60

I would love to hear your opinion on appropriate level ranges to attempt the solo crawl or even if some would be impossible to crawl. Like the planes... I don't know if soloing is even possible in those.

Any thoughts or info about the zones (or if I'm leaving some out that I could attempt) would be greatly appreciated.

HS West and South at those levels will be quite challenging. The boss mob in West summons and is level 52 and summons. The other nameds are in the level 50 range.

HS South is filled with level 50+ mobs that summon. They regularly wreck level 60 enchanters with Bedlam and good gear. I can’t imagine being very successful there at level 56.

Same with SG at 59. Siren’s Grotto is the hardest zone in the game IMO. The mobs hit like trucks, are high level, and some of them aoe dispel both you and your pet. I am friends with one of the most prolific SG farmers on the server right now. He’s level 60 and has spent hundreds of hours in the zone and sometimes just gets wrecked.

Are these things possible? Sure. But they are incredibly challenging. A lot will depend on your goals - if your goal is to “crawl” to the end of these zones and do the hardest contest, it will take a tremendous amount of time and effort and you still may not reach the goal.

Good luck.

I farmed parts of SG easily at 59. The neriad camp is one of the easier camps in the game to solo as an enchanter since they wont summon you on charm breaks if you aren't in the water with them. You could probably do it at 57 or 58 even.

I bet I got summoned while out of the water at least 5-6 times while trying to get my shawl. They didn't always reset fast enough to avoid a summon depending on when their next melee round was due. Maybe I was just incredibly unlucky.

This is true of every zone in the game. Of course you can realistically find one camp that works and you can do in a zone. It’s a lot harder than doing a “crawl” as described by the OP. To me, crawling a zone means being able to take down substantive portions of the zone and move from place to place. I’ve killed DS a number of times on this server, like most enchanters have. That doesn’t mean I have crawled East the same number of times - I don’t always want to spend the time crawling to that part of a dungeon.
