Very cool Sscalez! Geared out monks are just insane.

Any reason you didn't use Regal Band/DS pots?

Thanks man, I did use the Chardok ring on my 2nd and 3rd attempts, including the no charge kill. I didn't want use any DS pots or any other potions like that though because the whole goal was to do it without using any consumables, which I was finally able to accomplish a few days ago. I wasn't going to post it here after seeing all the haters and trolls take over this thread, but it looks like someone else posted it already anyways. [You must be logged in to view images.

Serpent Blood Potion has an inventory limit, and would require immense time expenditure to solo camp a bunch of them.

sounds like a.....challenge.

A boring and pointless challenge.

Trying to use a bunch of consumables would never be a viable strat in a more refined version of EQ anyway. Using a potion should always have significant activation time and be interruptable. You know, how it actually works in a tangible world, needing to take time to drink something and finding it hard to do that in combat.

This is correct. The posters who are typically negative never post their own videos showing us how it's done. They are all talk and no show.

You are a player of action, not talk. I hope you post your next video when you do it! Don't let the negative nancies get you down. I'm looking forward to it.

Please show us your solo challenge videos with all of your restrictions in place! You never seem to post videos of your own when you make claims about how to play.

Using your "tangible world" logic, a fungus man wouldn't be fooled by FD, so you couldn't pull Fungi King solo anyway. Fungus men don't have eyes, they perceive the world and communicate differently from human-like races. They wouldn't see you fall over. You'd just get killed by adds every time as Fungi King gets help from his friends.

You have a very bad problem with synthesizing things people say.

There are obvious conceits that need to be made in video games, not everything is completely realistic, but things should feel representative, and consumables need to be balanced properly.

Feign Death is another thing that could be implemented better (takes longer to reuse in front of the same NPC's) and it's an example of something that is never going to be entirely realistic, but instead is acting as more of a representation of a character creating a diversion that allowed them to slip into a nearby hiding spot, or playing dead after making it look like they tripped on their blade or cut their own throat. That's also why it should be a Rogue ability, not a Monk ability.

I was finally able to complete the challenge with no consumables used a few days ago. Check the post at the top of this page for a link to the No Charge Kill video.

I disagree with your baseless character attack. You were vague, and thus your words were open to multiple interpretations. Don't blame me for your lack of detail.

Next time expand on what you meant, rather than attack the other poster with baseless claims you have no evidence for.

Correct. In P99, you can use instant cast consumables. Period. This was clearly an intended feature, as many items have inatant cast.

You are simply cherry picking what you think should be "more realistic" to support your position.

The reality is OP and myself have videos of ourselves doing solo challenge content. You don't. Show us some of your solo challenge kills before making arbitrary rules based solely on your opinion of what is "realistic" in a 20 year old MMO with magic and dragons in it.

That's awesome! I did watch the video when it was posted earlier. It's really good!

This guy is a legend!!! Most excellent videos! So much work put into that character- It's always so cool to see how powerful our favorite Everquest characters can be. Grats!

This was an awesome video!

With regards to the video, I liked your idea to pull, snare, then flop so you could start the fight at full HP + 1 Mend. Also good call to fistweave your Abashi's for a bit more DPS. You needed it!
