How do solo enchanters deal with death?

[long.liam]

Do they break the rules and box a epic cleric on the side? Do they just go xp every time they get killed trying to farm expensive items? I find it extremely stressful getting killed on my enchanter.

Keep a charged Lealtherfood Raider's Cap or just eat the exp loss. Solo'ing a lot comes with the benefit of a lot of exp to burn.

I usually let a few bodies stack and then bribe a cleric. Most good farming zones it's not too bad to get a cleric out. 3-500pp pretty meaningless to an enchanter but a good haul for a couple clicks. Keep diamonds and lack saphires so you don't need so much plat on you.

only 52 on my enc but I just loot corpse and keep on exping, easy to make it all back. also a filthy casual so it's not like i'm in a rush

I envy y’all’s mindset. Personally, I despise death. Watching my precious exp slip away strums a note of pain in my heart. I’m a casual, so that exp is hella hard to come by when you don’t know your arse from a hole in the ground in the EQ world and playtime is limited. This is why my enchanter is sitting at 27, naked and untouched. So close to clarity, too.

It is possible to play it very safe to where you almost literally cannot die

Example: charm solo singles outside against a zone wall to minimize the pathing of adds. Have the mob and your charmed pet be fighting at a far enough distance from you where if charm breaks, you can cast mez on it before it can run up to you. Normally most enchanters would just stun->GCD reset->mez, but you don’t have to do that. Just don’t stand anywhere near your charmed pet

Before you break charm, tell it to “guard here” as you stand way the hell away. Then it can’t close the distance before you can root it (don’t mez here because mez can blur it and heal it back up a few ticks and that’s not what you want, you want to kill it), and kill it

If doing this, you should literally only die whenever your internet suddenly drops

Or I’ve even heard of enchanters using the animation exclusively to solo. If you keep resummoning to get the highest level one, and make sure to use the highest rank slow on the mob you kill, the animation can kill blues all the way to 60, assuming you don’t mind getting 50% exp the entire time and being bored out of your mind. I don’t recommend this, but it’s doable

Level a cleric and have people log it in as needed. I have an epic cleric that’s been 54 since 2014 and he has done countless rezzes. Just a phenomenal class that everyone should have at least one of.

even if its epicless 90% rez, better than nothing

at 60 im always at 100% xp so i just eat the corpse so i dont have to med

Enchanters are the Dark Souls of EQ. Embrace dying. It's how the game teaches you to get better by planning for and avoiding what killed you. The best Enchanters died many times learning their tricks.

I deal with it by not doing any of that crazy stuff. You don't need to die all the time. I level outdoors and do occasional dungeon delves with a few levels over the dungeon. You can enjoy the enchanter class without trying to solo the Chardok prince or SG rares.
