I think the point was that its not a solo kill if it requires the leveling and parking and logging in of 4 different classes to achieve the outcome. Would be more impressive if it was truly the toon using nothing but their own means to accomplish something. Even if it was just 1 toon on the encounter log, otherwise we're basically saying that Vindi is soloable.

Technically I did not kill him when I was buffed by my own toons. I was buffed by a group at NG camp, you can still see my tells to their enchanter in the chat window. My toons are parked for when I can't get buffs from others already in the zone. Regardless, it's pretty absurd to expect something like this to be done with only self buffs, it's never even been done fully buffed before (without charges), but somehow that's not good enough for you?

Perhaps you should take a took at the Solo Artist Challenge Rules. It clearly says in the Clickies section towards the end: "Outside buffs are not permitted for casters; melee can get as many buffs as they like as they are already at a considerable disadvantage."

Anyways, again, sorry if this isn't good enough for yall's standards. Looking forward to seeing your attempts next.

You did a good job. There are some posters on these forums who are generally negative, and very hard to please. I enjoyed the videos! Don't let the negative nancies get you down.

That was written pre-Velious. Things definitely change when considering gear from ST and ToV.

I'm confused by this statement. Are you saying you box if you need buffs?

I'm not trying to demerit your accomplishment, this was not a personal attack, I was more so summarizing what other people were posting in the thread before me. I think its cool that you did this, and part of the fun for everyone on the server is setting goals for yourself and achieving them, its what keeps the game alive 26 years later.

My personal viewpoint is that calling something solo that requires multiple players to accomplish is simply mis-labeling.

Was it challenging? Yes
Was it an accomplishment? Yes
Was it possibly the first time done in these conditions on P99? Maybe, although unlikely given the amount of geared monks out there that farm fungis
Was it done solo? Nope

I would define solo as something that could be or was accomplished in a vacuum by one character. I.E. if you logged in your toon and the server population was 1 and there was no boxing. I personally would find it a bigger achievement and be more impressed to do this without any non-self buffs, but using unlimited clickies that are usable by your race/class. That is how I personally would define "solo".

Pretty sure you couldn't do this without the outside help

Pretty positive it's not even remotely possible without buffs, so I don't really know what point it is that you're trying to make. Way to shit on other people's accomplishments though. Sorry this wasn't good enough for your standards.

Sure it is. Click more pots. Throw dps and clickies at anything and if you have the bagspace for the mob to die, it will die. To post it like 8 years after it was first solo'd on a monk is a bit weird as im sure after kelz a fair few have probably solo'd it for the lulz. But it's great to see people doing it anyway.

I hope you maybe turn it into a bit of a solo adventure for more cool shit.

Fairly sure vazdeline solo'd a fungi king 'questionably legitimately' back in like 2012 even on his mage excluding the pull when I went LD at the start of a duo fight, (so..."solo") with a couple of soulfire clicks on his epic pet. We'd pull it to under NG back in those days with a crit pac/invis pull into a mage pet and donals bp click it to death. Zero effort, zero danger, 120k fungi's ftw.

Oh ya, I'm definitely well aware that Kelzaraz did this years ago already, but his strat is no longer viable. Kelz used puppet strings to charm a pet-kitted krup knight. He also used Slowstone Amber before the clicky nerf when it was still instant cast time, and landed a lucky slow (hard to do without malo).

I am trying to set my attempts apart by using a more streamlined approach for the pull and setup, with the goal of making it sustainable indefinitely by not using any consumable charges like Wort Pots, Reapers, Slowstone, etc. Obviously I'm not quite there yet, but I still have quite a bit of room for improvement on the attempts that I've made thus far.

Here's a video of my 2nd attempt where I was able to down him with only 7 wort charges used, and no reaper. Probably could have lived with just 5 worts too. No charge kill coming soon!

Of course he could, you just click more pots. Pots are cheap. Plat is worthless anyway.

Adding buffs just means you use a few less clicks. I've probably solo'd fungi king 3 or 4 times on my monk when partners have been LD, killed their toon or killed my cleric they were using.

Doing so right now the hardest thing about fungi king solo is the RNG of the pull, as you can see in the vid. You can chew up 3-4minutes very easily with poor RNG on blurs, pathers etc.

Good work man.
