Non-camped soloing for level 12 necro

[clobbercat]

So after traveling to the places listed on previous soloing threads in the hopes of leveling my lvl 12 necro (and hopefully earn enough coin to buy spells and ANYTHING to upgrade my cloth equipment and cracked staff), I've found everything is already camped, even during off-peak hours. I know lucrative camps will be locked down frequently if announced on a public message board. I only have a couple hours a day to hunt, during off-peak hours, so soloing is my only option.

I was previously soloing spiders in North Ro (I hate them), but decided to make the trek to Faydwer. After repeatedly finding a certain camp taken, I tried the chessboard in Butcherblock and got quickly wiped out (had to kill basilisks to get back my lost level). Apparently my lvl 12 pet is awful and I'm no where near ready to take the chessboard. Any suggestions? PMs appreciated.

Some of these suggestions suck, but the 12-17 suggestion is decent...Misty Storyswapper in WK

Relocate to Kunark, Kurn's Tower. Although heavily camped, I never ran out of mob when soloing there at this level. Added bonus: very fast xp and you won't have to farm more bone chips for a looooooong time.

I'll assume you mentionned solo due to some odd logging hours so I'll still propose some grouping options that will remain open to you whichever time you log in. You could give a go at:
- Sister's island in OOT. Great xp, great cash and the beauty is that at level 16 you can move to the island next to it and do the gargoyles for a massive amount of cash (at this level) up to level 20ish
- Befallen (careful there),
- Oasis (solo along the beach not far from a zoning),
- group in EC (always a group at the orc camps, even at the oddest hours),
- relocate to Blackburrow till 16
- Erud's Crossing, great spot for xp and cash, just don't die...
- Upper Guk (same comment as orc camps in EC although you could solo there)
- Lavastorm (doubt you meet a lot of people in there)

Hook me up in game if you need to relocate, I'll get you a free lift.

Oasis of Marr has a large lvl range that you could solo up in lvls from where your at to mid-late teens (and much higher if you don't get bored of it).

If your up for a change of scenery then travel to Kunark and head to Overthere just outside Cabilis is a great place to solo (don't get too close to the guards). Take the boat to FV and invis (con the mobs in FV as you go as some see invis) to Overthere then turn right along zone wall till you see buildings with rock sidewalks all around them. You can park on the zone all and pull and kite up at the wall. (this may be a lil low for you I don't remember what lvl it played out but your there or very close).

Next spot I liked was straight in from there to the lake between the tower and the ruins and kiting along the shore. (bind near FV in a safe spot off the creek). That camp will take you to 16-17.

From there I passed up the FV zone and went to just past the next set of buildings with statues all around and pulled mobs from the field and kited along the zonewall to the left. (takes you to 18-20 depending on where your pulling from in the field). You can kite along the water as well past the buildings (other side) which has higher mobs.

Yeah, this is true...but Oasis is really only efficient from about 16-17 or so. I found the exp there got a LOT slower after that point.

Remember that Necros are nearly always better at killing undead crap than living stuff.

You have to go to Kurn's. The exp is ballin, and I still have stacks of bone chips saved up at level 30. If I wanted to sell and bank, the OT outpost isn't too bad of a run if you bum a sow. Kurn's was good exp all the way til 18, and would've probably taken me further if I didn't go for a change of scenery. Think I went to aviaks in SK after that.

Heavily camped, full of twinks, trains and d-bags, but I never was stuck without mobs to kill. In the earlier levels (12-13), I'd sent my pet to tank, get it to ~90%, then dot and start healing pet. I was killing reds that way. Later on I found it was more efficient to aggro kite or fear kite with Spook the Dead. It doesn't last long enough to cause problems.

Enjoy.

Heavily camped is an understatement and at your lvl you'd be stuck at zoneline for the most part unless you get a full group with some a bit above you in lvl. I tried Kurns and with all the new players on Ikky chars it was just too busy for me. I got better xp soloing down in the pit kiting along the wall then in Kurns.

Zoneline area isn't really bad though. When I was there, I was never running around looking for a mob. People are always around, but spawns are fast and plenty. I did spend a lot of time in the basement early on since I wasn't KOS to the burnyais. You'll be KOS if you kill one so you gotta be careful, but the skelly's down there are interspersed and easy to aggro or fear kite.

I think I did 11-18 in 2 nights playing in Kurns, made good cash for that level, and got 2 bags full of bone chips. Can't really ask for more.

I have a 6 necro, and it seems like my pet has no aggro at all. If I cast any spell, or sometimes just sit, the mob is on me. Can the necro pet not tank until I level up some more, or am I doing something wrong?
