How to solo twink a rogue?

No the /q thing is mostly for ench in SG since the faction cannot be repaired. In chardok repairing faction is easy so no one cares to /q. What you'll want to do is farm/buy green goblin skins (get an earring of essence and an idol of the thorned while you're in droga if you go the farm route) up to warmly then claim this ring. https://wiki.project1999.com/Di%27Zo..._Service_Quest

Then you just kill down to apprehensive and turn in more skins if you need to.

I never charmed in my life (even with my druid, as I find root rotting/kiting a much more relaxing experience), but I am slowly trying to ease my way into it for more difficult camps. How does the "/q faction trick" work with mobs that need to fight a charmed pet to be killed?

The way I see it, both mobs fight each other and get somewhat low hp. Then you break charm, both rooted, both dotted and then you /q? I guess this wouldn't work with mobs that summon, right? I said I didn't like buying gear, as I am saving for legacy items. Holgresh Vizier Beads seems the most useful, but I have accumulated nowhere near the amount of plat required for this one. I might consider an Ornate Velium Pendant for my druid to safely kill into Siren's Grotto.

Concerning the ongoing debate on the usefulness of Locustlure (this is the Melee subforum afterall, and I derailed on druid/ench strategies), I really do not mind switching weapons during a fight. I might not use it every fight, but I love having the most options in my arsenal at all times. Pure melees don't have spells, so they 100% rely on procs/clickies. If I ever do start my rogue, I'm sure I will include every unique proc I can. For example, my magician carries Powder of unanimation (and a stack of Star Rubies) "just in case" I ever need to urgently delete an undead mob. We all know that I will never use it, but I like feeling prepared for anything hahaha

Dude wants to farm items not work a job making money for ecmart

Solid point. I forgot what a major purchase a Seb Dirk is for how good it is. I'll let the non-rogues/new players get back to theory crafting Kunark mid-level weapons.

BTW what's everyone's thoughts on Bloodpoint? Seems like 2 of them would be literally never ending HP. Thinking about skipping rogue epic.

You have your expertise. I only got a rogue to like 65, whereas I know you've levelled a tonne of rogues, but I get the feeling you're not applying your expertise to how the OP wants to play or what they value. Yea, double bp ain't great and epic is easy and good, so it may feel like your irony is making a good point ... bbbuuuutt .... seeing as rogue epic is a very hard solo, vs OP may actually be able to do HS on one of his other toons to get a bp. You've accidently almost made a good point - bp is better for OP's mission than epic, no matter how much you may disagree with the mission.

Not to belabor the point but the only bad thing about the Locustlure is Velious being a thing. The ratio and proc are really good compared to its relative peers. In the offhand, it’s profoundly better than a Bloodpoint if the alternative is not slowing the mob. As a melee dps (not factoring backstabs), in the MH, it puts out very solid swing dps. This is equivalent to comparing a Mryo Dagger to a Willsapper…duh Vulak loot is better but slowing stuff is OP.

All of this is moot though. The Scryer is a rough solo for a high 50’s Druid but is possible (I’ve done it). The dagger is very rare but it’s a fun mini-quest. Nabbing a bloodpoint as a solo Druid? lol have fun with that.

You charm something, make sure it is going to win the fight and /q when your target is at ~5%. When you come back the mob will be dead and your pet will have walked back to its spawning point, without a faction hit. Don't quote me on that but I think druids just kill in there and don't worry about OVP but I could be wrong.

It is both more cost and time effective to just farm 1k and get a dirk than literally any other farming option but OP asked about solo farming options so here we are. I'm not sure why you keep doubling down on being a dick when you're clearly off topic but please tell us for the fourth time SCD is better.

The big issue is the dilution of prices over the last 15 or so years. If the Locustlure was 15k maybe it would be better to farm one. It’s a big maybe though…hill giants were my plat factory in 2011.

Don't level a rogue on a dead EQ server.

Or do it and become a legend.

Double clicking left mouse while tapping 1 on the keyboard between those clicks every 10 seconds is superlatively difficult.
