How to solo twink a rogue?

[Vexenu]

OP, I know you said you don't like to buy things and prefer to camp items yourself, but with access to a 60 Mage you can easily farm up several thousand plat through cash camps in just a few days of casual play. This is enough to buy a Frozen Shard/Seb Croaking Dirk combo, FBSS/SCHW, and you can basically fill the rest of the slots with a mix of STR, AC and HP gear. Very cheap and easy gearing that will carry you until you get your epic and Velious quest armor. You will get much better twink gear much quicker just farming the plat with your Mage than attempting to camp stuff yourself.

I'm saying its a complete waste of time and nothing that OP is self-found farming with the toons he has is going to make any meaningful difference in the journey that the rogue he wants to start will have. That the gear requirements to twink a rogue to actually give it additional utility is way beyond self-found gear. He's going to end up grouping 100% of the time from lvl 1 on so instead of wasting weeks or months filling a couple slots with what will prove to be meaningless gear just roll the rogue and start accruing exp now, or better yet start working on your monk which for all intents and purposes can do everything the rogue will be able to and more.

A Druid can do the TT cycle at 57. Id still push to 60 first because it’s a worthwhile upgrade. That said…you can xp off the cycle. It’s a good way to get an Iksar mask and regen tunic.

Skip the burning rapier and go get a seb dirk. I’d rather farm HG’s than run around questing the BR.

Hunter Forager cycle alone can get you haste, a piercer, ikky bp and a few random other pieces, which is not great, but something if you really insist on the self-found aspect.

Fellow camper here.

Personally I camp everything I can camp and then buy what I cannot. I have a 60 ench so it helps a lot.

In the end you could probably get a shit geared rogue solo to 60 but know that around 47--52 it gets a LOT rougher. Like, still rough with fungi, 34% hate and BIS EC weap/gear so while you can still technically solo all the way you'll have to be cool with a glacial grinding pace compared to most. If you're cool with that you're all set but at this point in the server a lot of tge more wealthy people wouldn't touch a melee without fungi and 34%+ haste just for QOL and refurns on grinding speed.

If you aren’t shopping for stuff I can see the urge to camp them.

I’d probably push the Druid to 60 just because you would have better luck, especially for those without the epic (no clue if you have it or not). You might even run into this while messing around in TT

So I'd like to start a rogue and maybe give him a little hand, especially in regards to weapons. I like to farm/quest things myself and very rarely buy anything (51+ spells are the biggest exception). What are items that would help out a newbie rogue and that are attainable with:

A level 60 Magician;
a level 57 Druid;
or a level 52 Monk?

So far, I see the Burning Rapier quest. What is the easiest way to MQ it? Any other items that are more worth it? The Iksar Berzerker Club is also not bad.

For haste: I can camp FBSS with my Magician.
For regen: Is camping Iksar Ceremonial Chestplate viable with a 57 druid? I feel like it might be difficult with the limited track range.

Any input is welcome [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Weapon wise not many options with your chars. Both will be in KC, locustlure and jade mace. Slow proc will help solo. Gl

At 60 he could get a rabid chokidai fang in chardok I guess? Or maybe a fester. Sarnak backstabber for sure.

Or a trak tooth. Nothing crazy but they're not terrible either.

That fang has a worse ratio than jade mace. But for the fashion and proc maybe worth it.

Figured he'd want a weapon with a sharp end sooner or later.

GCM is better than JM though, not sure which is easier to get for a druid.
