Sol A

[alWald0]

Hey guys, I was just wondering, hows grouping for a 25 DPS in Sol A? I just got here and don't know the way or what its like. Some clarification would be awesome!

[Retan]

Ranger? Warrior? Rogue?

[Extunarian]

You can usually find a group in Sol A I think. I usually got a group as a shaman, and oftentimes we lacked DPS.

Is there something more specific you were looking to learn?

[Dantes]

I grouped there a bit from 25-30. It was hit and miss. Depends on if you have healers available. AE Nuking goblins will wreck a group fast.

[Wurli]

I think the captain camp is one of the better exp spots in the game for 25-35. The mobs don't hit very hard or have very much hp. There are a couple shamans and wizards that are annoying but it's mostly just fire goblins. You just hafta be careful cuz there are a few pathing issues.

Thanks, Im a monk by the way, and would you say theres a certain time people get on? I got on at like 2 in the afternoon and no one was my level.

consider south karana or mistmoore. sol a is avoided by lots of people because of a zone specific lag bug and wizards in tight spaces.

[alWald0]

I lack being an eq vet, i really have no idea what or where to go.

/who all soldunga

I have been there the last couple nights and there are usually a couple people 25-30 LFG. Also Najena is right next door for a similar level range.

If you are looking for safer/slower exp you could always do Aviak Avocets in South Karana. There always seems to be a group there.

Go into display options and reduce your Max Frames per Second slider, and you won't have the issue.

[alWald0]

I really dont get a lot of time to play, so slower isnt good for me lol

[ziggyholiday]

Warrior?

So the guys asks if sol a is a good place for lvl 25 dps and your second thought is "Are you a warrior?"

Really??

[alWald0]

Hey, i just need some help, 25 is the highest guy i have since i was not a vet, i really dont know what im doing

[Duuvyenx]

South Karana, High Pass Keep, Caziz Thule maybe.
Upper Guk, runny eye, befallen maybe.

alWald0 -

To sum up what's been said in this thread: Yes, you should be able to get groups in SolA. It is a great dungeon for your level. However, like the other great areas for your level, you will have good grouping days and days where you are lfg for 2 hours. Hopefully the good outnumber the bad.

Overall, as a monk, you should be desired in dungeon groups for your dps and splitting abilities. Other places you might want to try would be Najena (2 zones form Sol A) South Karana near the Aviak Village, and Upper Guk.

I applaud you for diving right into a dungeon, but if you don't have a lot of time to play every day, I highly recommend going to South Karana to meet people and better learn your class. You are far less likely to get trained, and if you do die you don't need the help of your group to get your corpse back. I have limited play time as well and there is nothing worse than a group wipe deep in a dungeon 5 minutes before you have to log for the day.

Good luck!

I thought that the Temple of Cazic Thule was a higher leveled area? I didnt imagine be able to go there;maybe, at 25

[Extunarian]

You would likely get nuked down pretty fast on a bad pull in Cazic Thule. I'd steer clear until the low 30's, since your spell resist rates are primarily dictated by your level.

[Virtuosos]

my suggestion is to avoid sol a and go to guk -shrug- i leveld up in guk, found it easier to get groups and i thought it was better exp honestly...

[Shiftin]

I don't have the problem Uth, but amost every time i group in sol A, someone is talking in OOC or group about the problem and ends up leaving. i've had to explain the fix as well.

[Ridic]

Sola is pretty close to BYOG, or you won't find one. Unless you're lucky enough to zone in around the same time someone is about to leave - or, don't mind sitting at ZL for 30mins to an hour or two.

[Dantes]

I would recommend HHK. I made lots of experience grouping there from 25-30, and it seemed like a popular place for monks because they were often grouped with me. You can sell and bank right there near the camp. So you can actually loot stuff as a monk. Plus you can bind there, so when you die after pulling the raider room you can get right back into the fight. That said, get somebody to lull or harmo the raider room before you pull it. There's usually 1 group there on the goblins, and more often than not somebody in the group is tired and they need to duck out so you can snag an open spot. I logged on a few times and was in the group within 60 seconds.

[alWald0]

Thanks, Ill keep HHK in mind, but i think ill head back to guk

[Lagaidh]

No love for sol a! I spent more time in that zone in a duo and solo than anywhere else in classic.

Made my first few grand of cash pulling loot out of there.
