Embarking on a new journey with a warrior

[Dollar]

Okay there is plenty you can solo that is solid gear.. just maybe not the best twink gear for velious. You can solo fbss, yaks, classic warrior quest armor, hooded black cloak.. I mean you can solo a full set of gear that is more than adequate to gear a warrior just fine. You would struggle solo just like any warrior struggles to solo without a fungi.

Telling him to invest crazy time camping super rare items in lguk, which has minimal impact on his war ability to solo, is not great advice.

He might as well drop the 5k on random gears and he'd perform about the same solo.

Crusty armor also. You can deck out your warrior.

All these naysayers are basically saying if you don’t plan on buying a fungi, why bother. Which is ludicrous considering the amount of warriors that leveled to 60 without a fungi.

Sure, it makes sense if it was 1999. It's 2022 mate, and p99 has been around for like 10 years. Encouraging him to get stuck soloing as a frustrating new war, on a server that is super top heavy, is horrible advice.

Perhaps I've misread, but to me it seems the advice is to solo/guild group on a 53 necromancer, to get a few basic bits of equipment that will make the new warrior journey a bit more tolerable for the character and it's group mates. This is something I can get behind. Some fire wedding rings, a couple of 1:2ish weapons, some schw and a suit of banded or even crusty is something a 53 necro with guild assistance can easily achieve and would perform sufficiently well in a group environment.

If the advice is to solo on the warrior, I'd strongly suggest against that as a main plan - certainly not after level 40.

Is it technically possible to kill a sonic bat or two 400 times in a month to complete level 54 solo? - I have done that - but for most players that experience and pace will be far too frustrating so I wouldn't recommend it, even if I am willing to do it multiple times on multiple warriors all with terrible gear - I know I am the exception in how I enjoy that.

If the goal is to gear a war to perform better in group environment, a better suggestion is to do plat farming with 53 necro to fund the fbss/ssoy/wolf cloak instead of camping them. Even a low yielding camp like seb NG has much higher ROI than camping lguk for those extreme rares.

Agreed that would be the easier route, and you are right to explain that to OP, even if they did state they’d rather camp the items them-self.

Frenzied in velks is a preferable camp to get haste than frenzied in guk. Perhaps that was the frenzy OP aspired to? It’s much more realistic, provided he can do the camp.
