Soloing with Fungi/Woodsman works for a good while, but you'll have to stick to classic zones because by the time you hit your 30s/40s you won't be able to solo-tank Kunark mobs as a Ranger efficiently. By then you'll be bored as shit of it anyway.

I guess it depends on what you consider efficient? I've done 1-46 solo, aside from a couple groups with goals other than experience that generated a bit of XP.

That's the entire goal of this character for me. I've done about 150 levels as a Ranger over the years. My goal here was to solo to 60 pre-Velious (before panic animal, which makes that task much easier). I haven't really hit a hitch so far, although I anticipate that I may around level 50.

I generally push out a few levels, then farm for a couple weeks. It keeps me interested when I do decide it's time to grind out some more experience.

Edit to add: I haven't used a Fungi, although I've had haste since level 20 and a Woodsman since ~30.

That's what I did, but you pretty much hit a dead end when you start to get late 40s/50s as a Ranger. You can't really solo anything, and groups don't want you.

Unless you have a close group of very actively playing friends or a guild to constantly group with, it sucks balls.
