Worth putting fungi on 38 monk?

[Rayzor84]

Seems like I'm past solo levels. Or should I toss it on a new ranger?

[Jfertal]

Can solo well into mid, upper 50's

Where?

[Jfertal]

Freeport guards can take you to 52. Can still fetch kills in DL also

[cornisthebest]

Where?

i suggest tundra yetis in dreadlands, my favorite spot at that level

[Ravager]

Not even a fungi can save a ranger.

[Jimjam]

Kaesora at the return drop of the deathloop.

[theguyy]

Every single melee can easily solo to 50 with fungi, let alone monk.

[Tasslehofp99]

38 monk can solo gnomes in sol A for sick experience until about 40-42.

From there I'd suggest City of mist till 50ish, or SolB.

[Man0warr]

Bloodgills best exp from 45-51 or so.

[eisley]

it's worth putting a fungi on a 60 monk. even in velious. it provides a very useful, potentially irreplaceable effect (depending which version of ventani robe we get, although that item will be in short supply anyhow)

[Tankdan]

DL yeti cave 40-44

Bloodgills 44/45-51


cant beat it

Got mine to 41 solo so far with one.

[Rayzor84]

Thanks for the suggestions!

I still need to buy him a PB, camp fbss and J boots, and pick up other things like dalnir gear but fungi is a good start.

[Pullyn]

Soloed 52-58 in the hole with a fungi. Bring a slow stone clicky and you can easily solo named elementals down there as well.

I solo'd my monk to 55 with fungi. I killed Bouncers Hurd & Flerb in Feerrott, Bards & Nobles in Highkeep, Glacier Yetis in DL and 54-55 I killed Cyndreela in front of the Fear portal during double xp weekend :p

Now I am retiring his ass because soloing a melee highend sucks.

shhh, it's a lie. solA is horrible experience. No one should even go there. Best to not even think about it at all. sola just is a myth, a delusion, it doesn't even really exist.

[Jimjam]

The worst thing about SoldngA is the fact there is a zone entry fee! You lose so much plat going there! ;)

Soloing on my 38 Rogue has become a bit harder. I am moving from Flame > Fire > Inferno Goblins > to the Soluseks, which are a lot harder. Especially the mage and priests.

I tried fighting the gnomes but they hit much harder than the goblins, and the mages seem to be a problem with their damage shields and pets. The healers seem to be a problem as well. Any tips for fighting the damned gnomes?

[fastboy21]

It will slow down into the 50s, but you will still be able to solo a blue mob for exp while you lfg and regen back relatively fast.

Unless you have higher end raid items to pick from, fungi is probably the best thing you can put in your monk's chest slot. And even then, you would still want to carry one in your bags.

[nyclin]

I'd avoid the gnomes as a rogue. The mages will DS everything in the vicinity which is gonna eat you alive. My 40 monk has trouble with a single max-level mage if it decides to cast more than 1-2 nukes, even if I start at full HP with mend up.

Maybe try DL yetis. No casters to mess with and a fair bit of space to work with if you need/want to Instill Doubt.

Gnomes are amazing for monks though. You really just need FD or a lot of luck with sneak pulls.

[fastboy21]

I solo'd on my monk with a fungi in DL until 50...wasn't the most exciting game play but it was easy.

Intimidate/fungi regen isn't as uber as it once was, but its still pretty good.

[gkmarino]

It's too bad that there isn't an item to dispel their shields with. I saw there was something called a potion of negation or a crystallized pumice or something, both had Dispel Magic as an effect. I'm not sure how much they cost, heck they might even only dispel the shielding and not the damage shield. :(

Yuck. No dungeon ZEM, no thanks.

They're pretty cheap, I don't remember how much exactly but it isn't going to be significant if you're sporting a Fungi.

A post I found said that the Crystallized Pumice cost 19plat & change to a 65CHA Dwarf. If this price is correct it would be about 4plat per charge. I will come back and post with an exact P1999 Price sometime tonight. Unless one of you guys, that are not at work can beat me to it.

Hopefully it would dispel the shield the first dispel, the good news is that it casts Nullify Magic, which I believe removes 2 buffs at a time.

However it may not dispel the damage shield the first use. Also I believe you would have to avoid all attacks for 3 seconds while it is being cast, still pretty cool. However, if it was a fully buffed mob that wasn't a mage but had NPC caster buddies, we could be looking at 2 dispels to take off Sow -> Shielding -> Haste -> Damage Shield. So the effective cost could be 4-8plat per monster with a damage shield.

Be something worth testing out or using in certain situations.

Gotta practice your circle and pass-through backstabs and caster push. Damage shields are just a bitch.

[Cecily]

Not even a fungi can save a ranger.

Soloed to 60 on mine.

[Trelaboon]

Where?

I had a Monk with a Fungi that I used to solo in BR at Lguk until I was like 45ish, then moved toward ASS/SUP until I was 50

I'm starting to be able to push @38 but I need more dual wield / double attack combos.

[burkemi5]

Soloed 52-58 in the hole with a fungi. Bring a slow stone clicky and you can easily solo named elementals down there as well.

What is the slow stone clicky?

[Ravager]

Got mine to 41 solo so far with one.

Soloed to 60 on mine.

I withdraw my joke.

[gkmarino]

What is the slow stone clicky?Yeah what is your black magic trickery? :D

50-66% slow. I found this item, however it is a rare drop from the Kiraikuei Mummies from the Plane of Hate. http://wiki.project1999.com/Slowstone_Amber

35-50% slow. The only other slow I could find was on a shaman and ranger item, as combat procs. http://wiki.project1999.com/Tagar%27s_Insects

[Tankdan]

Yuck. No dungeon ZEM, no thanks.

Have you actually tried the camp?

They have half the hitpoints of other mobs their level, they hit like pansies, and do not cast. Theres 12 of them on a 13 minute respawn. It is the easiest and fastest solo exp you're going to get 44-51.

Confirmed to sell for 15p 8g @ Indifferent faction with 64 Charisma

5 Charges of Nullify Magic. Cost is about 3.1p per click.

My iksar monk was soloing at level 59, without a fungi

Tried it myself. Would not do it again.

Soloed to 60 on mine.

Can u run down ranger vs monk for me? Still on the fence other than monk already 38.

All I can twink either with would be fungi, fbss, pb for monk and maybe ivy etched gear and a sword for ranger.

A drop off Vulak, but still :)

Monks are an extremely overpowered class with a little utility.
Rangers are an extremely underpowered class with a lot of utility.

Monks can realistically solo past 50 (epic, fungi, tstaff?), rangers need guild support to get key items to allow soloing. You need a fungi, your epics, and a sky cloak to really have a shot. Being TMO gave me earlier access to my epics than most rangers, so I can't honestly say ranger soloing will work to 60 for everyone. It's extremely slow and never stops being dangerous.

Ranger Soloing

Self buffs: Grim Aura, See Invis, Sow, Levi, Str, Skin, Coat, Chloroplast, Thorns
Required gear: Fungi, slow weapon (swarm caller / epic), dps weapon (woodsman / epic)
Optional: DS potions

Pull with bow (at 50+, 2x dmg on non-moving, non-rooted)
Fight in safe area and begin trying to slow. Swap to dps weapon when slow procs.
Continue fighting until your health drops below 50%. Root the mob.
Keep fighting and refreshing root until hp gets to around 20%. Back off.
Sit. Med. Regen. Shoot arrows in between ticks. Refresh root as needed.
Repeat process until one of you dies.

Damage shields and regen are doing most of the work here. Basically you use your hp as a weapon, so allow hp to drop as far as you feel safe doing so.
Having sow all the time lets rangers get away, most of the time. I think fighting like this is fun, but it's not as efficient as monks because rangers take more / harder hits.

Yes, slowstone amber from Hate. Fairly common item and once it lands you can solo most things your lvl. Costs 500pp to recharge, so get your fill out of the 3 charges it has.
