Cleric 1-50 solo

[Dirtnap]

Are there undead zones/camps that i can go from to keep fighting undead all the way from 1-50?

I am currently 18, and other than Unrest or Kurns i got nothing.

EDIT: My bad 1-60 XD

[naez]

lower guk
kaesora
veksar

[Savok]

Veksar isn't a classic zone.

[William_Munny15]

The guards in Paineel also isn't a bad spot.

[Kharzette]

I did south ro for awhile, then scarecrows out in west karana, then ... not sure, maybe oh yea guk groups (most of which were a complete disaster), then giant skeletons in rathe mountains to 32.

[Dirtnap]

So far ive done 1-3 North Qeynos, 4-12ish BlackBurrow, 12-17 Unrest, A little grouping in Field of Bone from 17-18, and Paineel now at 18-19. I plan to stick it out here till they dont give anymore exp. Then head somewhere new.

EDIT: As a side note, i ask because soloing is like 20 times faster than grouping. The few groups i got in were unbearably slow. (The kills were quick, and unlimited pulls.) But i had already gotten used to my solo speed, so i want to stick with it till im higher level.

[Dirtnap]

Bump, any suggestions between 20-30?

[Bones]

Unrest.

[Ennoia]

Cleric isn't a solo class. EQ was never meant to be a solo game, despite having some classes with solo capability.

Thanks for the obvious, if i'd have asked for someone to tell me what i already know, it would be in the first post.

Do the beetles still agro with the zombies and stuff in Unrest? Always was a pain, cause i can't kill the beetles, but i can kill the undead.

[Bones]

lull the beetles

[Chanur]

That Ringo is a real pain.

[Klind]

Duo is alot better exp then Soloing for the most part, But I agree soloing is much better exp then grouping as a cleric and Anyone who has seen me level knows I do/did more then my fair share of it.

20 to 30 Your still good in Unrest. First floor Mobs should be easy enough for you around now and as you pick up your new undead DD you can move up to the second floor.

At 24 I was able to hold down the magi room alone in Unrest... Great exp just root nuking anything that spawned up there. Barbed bones would get iffy here and there but nothing to really worry about.

29 You can move to the tower and Hold that down NP. Pull the Knight with DA if he spawns (Bye Bye HT) and make sure you have the hags Calmed. Hags up there die fast and as long as you Stun / nuke there isn't much of a threat of dieing.... Or I never felt any.

I think I parked myself in the top of the tower and stayed up there to 32 or so where I Moved over to LGuK.


I never picked my solo camps based solo on EXP though.... Being able to get a bit of cash was always a factor for me.

GL and feel free to PM me or hit me up in game if you have questions....... I know my way around a soloing cleric :)

Thanks Klind, i will do that. Always nice to have someone with a little more experience to talk to. Especially someone who won't just cry at me about trying to solo as a cleric. (Considering I'm still mowing down mobs at 21, I'm failing to see why cleric has such a stigma.)

EDIT: I wish people would stop posting random crap, and just post something useful, or GTFO.

[baalzy]

Klind, what type of gearing would you suggest? I see you talking about root nuking so do you just outfit yourself in +wis/mana or are you using a decent amount of AC gear?

I'm a big fan of being able to solo and have a 14 cleric that I will eventually level up.

I have an 11 cleric and I am very curious about your setup as well.

[Dirtnap]

I've been rocking one of these. http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/quest.html?quest=573

Works REALLY well, but the quest was broken back when i first did it. So i had to have someone kill the bear instead of giving him the regurgitonic.

Other than that, I'm pretty gimpy, and still rocking.

[Bubbles]

You really won't need to leave unrest (basement works after hags/knight) till almost 40.. Can just lull your way around shrooms and werebats.

Probably the real snag in levelling a cleric to 50 solo would be 39-44, since you finally get the real live + undead nukes (Retribution/Banish Undead) at 44. Once 44 you can root/nuke down pretty much anything you desire.

Your most 'danger will robinson!" time to actually group/duo is 39-44, where you lose most of your power vs. the level of undead targets, and there simply isnt a lot to get through. Places like Kaesora suck because you don't have invis and have to manually lull your way to the undead.. Places like Karnors are nuts because of the trains and the need to pull singles in contested zones. Places like City of Mist might be worth checking into, since you can lull past the first few golems...

...but even then you're *still* better off just duoing with a monk who ran out of bandages or something. Once you are 39 your CH allows you to basically group with any tank up to level 55ish and surf pr0n while hitting your CH button every other minute. It's 10x easier than even root-nuking undead.

You could also try outdoor undead in spots like EJ and TT, but there's probably too many roamers and add possibilities for that to be anything but a complete headache.

[Dirtnap]

Sweet info, i can't wait to hit 24 for new spells.

Greater Healing
New buffs and a new nuke. Going to make things a tad easier.

[Klind]

Klind is my First Character on This server.

He wasn't twinked by any means. Sure I got a couple of hand me downs from members of AV, things like Bonze or a small upgrades for the most part, but I wasn't a twink or twinked out like mad. The gear set up I had while soloing unrest was not "special" to say the least. Anyone can do it in any gear set.

Soloing Outside I was in Mostly Leather I had found on the Ground of Kaladim.

Soling first floor I had changed that up to ringmail (Or is it banded) the ghouls tend to drop.

Soloing Second floor I had gotten myself a Savant helm soloing Magi and started picking up pieces of Bronze.

Around 30 I had also run off and done the Bracers of the Rev quest twice, picked up a cheap pair of Split paw gloves, got a small Wisdom Diety, and somewhere around 35 or so I had finished the Paw of Op quest. I also had a friend of mine kill the knight one day in unrest for me and got a Blood stained tunic a TINY bit earlier then me soloing him.

Nothing I had was insanely Over powered or twinked for my level.

If you got the gear to go toe to toe Meleeing and a nice Proc weap then by all means do that. I've seen a fellow guildie with some nice gear tear things up in Unrest with an Undead DD proc staff as a cleric.

If your not twinked however you'll start to notice real fast around the 20s or so the damage you put out with melee just doesn't feel mana efficient in anyway when you consider the damage you take from melee. Sure you can down mobs meleeing / stunning / nuking. But you take a bunch more damage doing it, have to now heal yourself after the fight, possibly rebuff again, and med up. In the end it's alot more engaging but I always felt it was more mana intensive and added risk that didn't need to be there.

Remember I'm talking about not being twinked here. With the drop of Kunark you could find some decent items that could change this... But even with the ability to always be able to heal yourself without a twink setup I've always found Root nuking, or stun nuking when dealing with casters, to be much much more efficient and alot safer.

Downtime always sucks but your a cleric, it always will :P.


If your asking me what gear you should be trying to get your hands on for soloing I'm big on Root nuking personally. So aim for wisdom and mana gear but never let your AC and HP suffer too much for the sole increase of mana. You need to be able to take a couple of hits while trying to root, Eating a nuke to your face, praying you get that gate off while your being beat on by 3 mobs at 5% health. This will help in groups as well when your tank goes full retard on you and you have 3 mobs beating on ya.


I had a 60 cleric on Live so this is my second go around on this.. I soloed alot more this time around but I knew how to solo alot better just because of going through it once.


If you are TRUELY just after fast experience do yourself a favor though. Find a friend. Solo exp doesn't compare to how much experience you can get with a good partner. Alot of soloing classes will welcome you into a duo because it gives them a safety as well as increases the rate at which they can kill things.

Anyways I've wall of texted you enough :P Sorry i Get all chatty before I finish my coffee /14yearoldgirl off.

Let me know if you have any other questions

Bubbles is 100% right in this level gap. 39 to 44 is a bit rough. If when you get around that level Try out the Greater Ice Boned Skels in LGuK. There are 5 all Packed away into a nice corner in the BR Loop. Using calm you can split them easy enough.

They are all Melee, have an Ice DD proc that can only hit you if they are in Melee, and not very magic Resistant. It's an easy camp and I was able to kill all 5 and med back up to full just as the first one poped again. (again not twinked).

If some random_chanter_01 passes by and sees you, you might even get a clarity out of it and add a mob or two to your rotation.

The ONE downside here is your stealing mobs from the Bed Room group. So try not to be a dick about it and talk to the group... I was generally there before a BR group came into the picture and would always let them know when I planned on leaving.

They start to LB out around 42 I think... But then I just moved to Solo Urds.

Hope it helps

~Klind~

EDIT: Sorry the only other bad part of the Gibs is the Trains that come through that tunnel..... Have gate membed for this camp...

[jilena]

I randomly solo'ed on zarina when bored (I hate soloing more than anything) but never really bothered sticking to undead. Low level guards in butcherblock, entrance trash in mistmoore, travis two tone in nek when mostly afk at work, that sort of shit. On one of my live clerics I did the entrance of lguk dead side 39-42ish for some okay exp and easy zoning.

I never melee'ed unless I just ended up with a mob with fuck all for hp left running away. Even that gets iffy since you are chasing them around doing shit damage and not medding for god knows how long with terribad cleric melee dmg. (WTB VoV??)

Pretty much anywhere you can find a place to sit and med without getting raped between pulls you can solo with lull, roots, etc and being prepared to run if you fuck up. *shrug*

[fischsemmel]

29 You can move to the tower and Hold that down NP. Pull the Knight with DA if he spawns (Bye Bye HT) and make sure you have the hags Calmed. Hags up there die fast and as long as you Stun / nuke there isn't much of a threat of dieing.... Or I never felt any.

Ok, so I'm currently a level 30 cleric, fairly twinked (~900 hp self buffed, almost 1300 mana). Realized unrest was a gold mine of xp for me since I have most of my playtime in off-hours and I often need to step afk for 5-10 minutes at a time... just how long it takes me to med up after a kill or two.

Things were going great in here until now.


Have things changed in the last 8 or 9 months? The quote above is NOT summing up my experience with hags.

The ones in the tower spawn so fast that after killing 3 hags, I'm at about 30% mana when the first has respawned. I'm not back up to enough to pull comfortably until all 3 are up (since freshly-spawned hags haven't apparently oomed themselves casting their stupid little wizard DS yet and so I don't like pulling them below 60% mana incase I need a lot of stuns and/or heals during the fight), which means I have to calm to pull.

Calm resists about half the time. About half of THAT time it also aggros the hag(s). I haven't died to hags yet, but I can hardly say that I don't feel any threat of death. Having to train out of the zone once an hour when calm aggros wastes a lot of potential xp time.

I've been thinking about trying to find a happy medium between clearing the tower only once the hags have been alive long enough to oom themselves, and meanwhile killing blues (sometimes light blues) on the 2nd floor and blues in the basement.


Was I just expecting too much to think that I'd shoot straight up to 34 in here at 1 yellow per hour like I have since 24?

[fischsemmel]

Your most 'danger will robinson!" time to actually group/duo is 39-44, where you lose most of your power vs. the level of undead targets, and there simply isnt a lot to get through.

Places like Karnors are nuts because of the trains and the need to pull singles in contested zones. Places like City of Mist might be worth checking into, since you can lull past the first few golems...

Well you'd miss out on the ZEM, but why couldn't a cleric just get up to 44 on spectres like oh, so many other classes do? The level 34 nuke should work them over pretty well right?



Edit - Eh, things seem to have picked up for me. Settled into killing the basement stuff and ignoring hags for at least another level. Maybe I won't have as many issues with calm and root resists on them then.

[eqravenprince]

The guards in Paineel also isn't a bad spot.

I've seen people mention this a few times, but how do you get into Paineel without a key. And asking the guards in the newbie ground for a key did not work for my Human Monk.

[maverixdamighty]

As others have said unrest can be good 30+ solo. The fireplace area/2nd level of the house has all undead that you can solo. I believe there are 7 solo pulls and since you are soloing that is probalby more than you can handle before you get repops. If you need more you can lull/pull from the barkeep room, but there is a werebat in the room, which is the only live mob you'll have to deal with or avoid. Around 30 or maybe a bit lower you can also venture into the basement level to solo some, but there tend to be more werebats down there, so might save that for a duo.

30-40 is a bit harder to find spots. I don't know much about kaesora other than doing the hs key camp, but lower guk you could do but probably not until you are around 40. The bedroom area would be ok for a duo but has more live mobs to deal with bats/spiders once you kill the first few. You really want to be able to get into the lower tower area (exe/cav/sage) or to the safe hall and pull from either side.

I know you are trying to solo, but imo it will be much better like others have suggested to try to seek out a melee type to duo with if at all possible. Hope this helps.

[Glorindale]

I knew a Cleric that solo'd a ton. It can be done.

[Daldaen]

That is a post from over 7 months ago. But yes Klind is a boss, I haven't seen him online in quite awhile :(

[Flunklesnarkin]

Idk where to really exp at 38.. i been soloing spiders and sarnaks on cleric in firiona vie..

nuke them a bit.. drag over to npc's.. they whack it down faster.. then nuke for kill shot to speed it up.

not sure if thats classic or not.. but thats what i been doing.

[Daldaen]

Classic is kill shot = loot/exp
Changed later, over 50% dmg = loot/exp

[Flunklesnarkin]

Classic is kill shot = loot/exp
Changed later, over 50% dmg = loot/exp

Well its currently the over 50% for exp / loot..

just tested it one a spider ;p


was worth a try lol.

I usually been nuking it to 50% because i figured it was 50% like on the progression servers

[Swish]

Anyone know if its possible to do Paineel guards from 20-40? I know there's different areas with different level guards... just wondered if there was a steady increase in guard levels? :P

Been through Kurn's and now in Unrest but there's a lot of PL'ing and its predictably quite busy at times :/

[Faywind]

What race would you suggest for a soloing cleric?

[Faywind]

im not black so I can't play an erudite :(

[Soulless]

e.g Your not a Dwarf, why play a Dwarf? you sound stupid. sorry.

[Faywind]

ummm, ya i am...but i prefer little person. U mad?

[falkun]

ummm, ya i am...but i prefer little person. U mad?

http://i946.photobucket.com/albums/ad304/danger_ranger1/banniNation/SuccessfulTroll.jpg

But if you are serious...if you cannot play an erudite because you are not black, then I assume you wish to play a race more befitting to your real life looks. You've already admitted you are a <del>dwarf</del> little person, so I recommend you roll either a Dwarf, or a Halfling, depending on how hairy the tops of your feet are and how long your beard is. Also, what gender are you? Dwarf male and female characters are fairly indistinguishable, but Halfling females wear plate skirts while males wear pants, so they are easy to tell apart. Finally, note that Halfling clerics will level faster than Dwarf clerics due to racial experience penalties (http://wiki.project1999.org/index.php/Character_Races).

Finally, I may suggest that you not play a cleric at all. From your previous posts, it sounds like you wish to play a character similar to you in real life. If you are not affiliated with the medical industry in real life, I suggest you leave the life of a cleric to people more suited for the role.

[webrunner5]

I think a Halfling is the best race beause they get Hide and Sneak. And are not a Evil race, and level the quickest.

Clerics don't get a invis spell. Just to Un Dead invis. And with Hide you can med pretty safely and take a bio break whatever and not die. And you can sneak some places where Lull may fail.

Can someone confirm that wolf form and asking a guard for a key will get you the Paineel lift key?

Would love to know if this works too!

[inyane]

[nothsa]

I did this being slightly twinked so the level range early on will change a bit.
1 to 5 i did at freeport gates, qeynos would be fine here. see if you can get a FS mace or morning star from another player to fly through these levels.


6 to 11 i was around ec tunnels and nro killing w/e bears, spiders , scarbs etc
10 to 14 i bound in high hold keep and killed the 4 prisoner spawns. I Recall having to lull some of them too. If you ask nicely you can grab some buffs from the group(s) at goblins.

14 -24 ish. I killed undead inside the house of unrest. You will die a bit here learning pathing and spawns. use IVU alot and lull brake spawns. keep a timer of the. spawns you brake.

you can go. further on the second level but i killed undead giant skellys near lake rath tear untill 31.

31 to 39. Back to unrest in the undead knighttower the knight is on 16mins but the two spawns next to him are 6mins. undead wizards are easy if you can keep the spawns down
stun to stop them buffing then 2 nukes and another damage stun drops them. with the undead knight use a stun to stop his pet then DA to eat his harm touch.

39 to 44 ish. i killed the icebone skelkys near bedroom in guk. The bedroom is ok too or you can do the static 2 spawns near ritulist. grouping with a high level farming works too here for some easy exp. or duo with a mage for fun times.

44 to 50 i killed sage room at 44 the wizard ghouls in sage die in2 nukes. Ivu and lull brake
Sage is a pita but take him at full mana stun root nuke. not sure how easy it is with scribe.
also wan and some other static rooms like exe and cav are options when you safely broken.
you can do some skellies in dreadlands, frim there but grouping after 49 is the best bet.
also there are skellies in najena check there levels they might be a good stop offas well
