100% not trying to yuck someone's yum just trying to value your time (or project a fraction of how I value my time on to you maybe). As someone who leveled multiple rogues for the same reason (not enough raid DPS), mains a rogue, and is now leveling a monk the advice came from a place of walking this road (with a way bigger investment in twink gear). If I had to do it over I would much rather have a monk with a bunch of BIS gear over my rogue as I could do a lot more with it both inside and outside of raids. You'll find monks at the high end can rival rogue DPS in raid environments and have a lot more utility than the rogue does and what you've described of your typically solo play style, continuing to work on your monk that you already have a huge head start on will reap more rewards than starting fresh on a rogue.

The main reason rogues are prolific for raid DPS is because the threshold to get them to raid level DPS is really low, much lower than being able to solo anything 40+. Its basically just an epic and some resist gear and buffs will pretty much max your stats. So its cheaper and quicker for large guilds to power level entire groups of rogues, where they don't have a gear threshold to obtain solid exp, get them an epic and some cheap gear and send them into battle. From an individual player stand point monk beats rogue in effectively every category.

As far as farming stuff yourself sounds like FBSS would be your go-to haste item as it sounds you are familiar and comfortable with the zone/camp and its superior to SCHW. I would stay away from Iksar berserker club from a rarity stand point as I've spent hundreds of hours farming in KC and just saw my first one ever (PS. you can have it for free if you're on green), unless someone can confirm its way more common/easier to obtain in Kurns.

I would check out Chardok castle entrance on your Druid, you can charm the dogs in there, great way to finish off lvl 60 and there are a handful of good pre-raid loot that are good items for rogues and monks.

Not at all! Thanks for your honest and thorough input 😊

I indeed like my monk a lot, but I sometimes get bored of my 50+ toons and like the variety of playing low level alts, even if for only 10 minutes.

For the Iksar Berzerker Club, I really don’t mind the rarity. I play most of my time semi AFK while working or doing chores so I’m ok with checking EQ every 20 minutes. The wiki is down for now so I can’t check but I didn’t know it also dropped in KC!

Goregasmic: I’m not alone!!!

Snaggles : Nice! I like camps where I can also get some exp going at the same time. The mix of linear exp progression with the random item progression is what keeps me hooked to this game :P

Crede : Now I didn’t think of those items! Since my main is a mage and has no CC, I always categorized Karnor as an “exp group zone”. These two items are indeed nice and might be possible to obtain with a druid!

Goregasmic again: I would like to try my hand a Chardok farming with my druid at some point. I guess the best bet would be to get factioned and then kill PHs and named and /q with the mob dotted and low hp to not get faction hits?

Cheers all! I should be OK with a lot of farming with all of these ideas [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

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.

Solo rogue requires a lot of solid gear (to do it in any reasonably efficient manner), especially 40+. I had both a fungi and mrylokars BP (for faster out of combat recovery), epic once equippable, and a variety of other gear and even then it was restricted to only fighting green mobs in open areas with poisons and intimidation RNG on every single fight, and caster like down times between mobs.

I say all that to say that if you are "twinking" with self found gear only your solo rogue aint gonna get too far and will be painful enough to make the overwhelming majority of people quit.

If you really want to do a solo twink rogue proper you're looking at several hundred thousand in gear to get things like flayed barbarian mask, fungi/mrylo BP, epic, horn of hsagra, and full skyshrine armor. Even then you're probably still relying on things like poison, intimidation, and green cons to get all the way to 60.

OP isn't asking how to twink a solo Rogue, he's asking how to acquire the best Rogue twink gear while soloing with one of his other characters.

whaaa?

You don't solo on the mage, druid or monk to twink a rogue?

Are you saying just get some mates and get proper twinkage? or are you saying farm pp and buy the twinkage? I am confused.
