Solo item farms for SKs

[Movember]

If you had a NToV raid geared SK, what high value items could effectively be solo-farmed?

Could TStaff for instance be solo-farmed? Chardok mobs? Seb camps like Disco? Fellspine?

I never played a tank past 20 and I know they’ll never farm as well as a Necro/Druid/Etc. but I’m curious what’s possible. Assume high end gear but not going to use high plat recharges like puppet strings and reaper clicks to farm.

Sks can do quite a bit on the high end. Being able to slow with a willsapper is pretty huge. I think they might be able to solo fungi king? I mean you’ve kinda won at that point. But that sk above has soloed some pretty good stuff his magelo has links to some of his videos

Any place where you have an area about the size in the video for short duration fear kiting, you could kill named mobs. I don't have a comprehensive list since I have been XPing rather than hunting loot, but my SK is somewhat NToV geared (NToV Weapons, Narandi Crown, etc.). You can check his Magelo in my signature.

Nice list btw Crede!

Ya sk can farm the T-staff in karnors at the Jail camp above the BG room..some random stuff i use to camp that doesn't require charges and are like 18-20 min repop static farming are:

HS embalming fluid is easy to farm for like 9k https://wiki.project1999.com/Fingerbone_Hoop and you get a shot at hand of the reaper and steelflint dagger from the crypt feaster

The crypt excavator in eastwing
https://wiki.project1999.com/Helot_Skull_Helm

Sebilis Crypts Hierophant and Duke, but they are mostly camped by enc's/shamans
https://wiki.project1999.com/Hierophant's_Cloak
https://wiki.project1999.com/Jaundiced_Bone_Bracer

Sol.b Efreeti for his ring as Sk you can just run in and flop to start farming it
https://wiki.project1999.com/Djarns_Amethyst_Ring

lower guk froglok tactician was prolly the first thing i started solo- farming cuz the crown was like 2K and you can get the mob faster than an enchanter
https://wiki.project1999.com/Platinum_Tiara

The hole - Dartain the lost and irslak the wretched.. these guys are usually left up and SK can get to haunted towers from ent faster than any other class
https://wiki.project1999.com/Withered_Leather_Tunic (prob need reaper if hes dual wielding)
https://wiki.project1999.com/Withered_Leather_Belt

there are tons in chardok assuming you got a willsapper you won't need charges and if you had Bio orb or alot of patience there's a way to solo the courier/underboss M both of which drop like 7-8k items. i seen Keerarae in there a lot farming so you should try asking em and is only other SK i know that actually solo farms wit willsapper

i've never tried fellspine tbh i only seen that mob cpl weeks ago on my wizard when i went to YT/misfits raid. He doesnt look any stronger than chardok mobs so if you can get on top of his spawnpoint i assume you could..

there's more stuff they can solo but then it'd require reapers/worts/DS potions and a "slight" chance to obtain the drop you want to recover the funds to recharge all yer items.. fun to do but not something ya wanna do all the time

[Toxigen]

nobody does because an enchanter in droppable gear is 10x more potent

[sajbert]

Just don’t farm t-staff. Unless you’re just looking for an AFK camp with long-ish timers it’s garbage plat/hour assuming one drop at an expected drop rate. I’d guess 150+ hours, I’ve gone 300 hours plus before a single drop.

Fellspine isn't possible to single without faction and pacify. He would be doable by a geared sk, but they would never get him alone to a safe spot they can kill him.

Yeah I haven't heard of a non-Enchanter soloing Fellspine. I would love to see it, but it's just really hard to get him solo without an Enchanter's toolkit, as you say.

I took a swim around fell this morning looking for clean-ish spots to kill him.
If you killed the pathing mermaid, and managed to get him single it might be possible to kill in the tunnel just before him.
You would need clean faction/ovp just to get there, and you would have to split him out of 4 or 5 super nasty mobs..but maybe?

Also every few hours a group of seahorses paths through there and scares the bejesus out of me.

[TrevarianX]

Might I ask for similar recommendation for a 60SK with absolutely no raid gear?

guards?

[TrevarianX]

Right. Only raid geared thanks can solo cool things, huh? ��

yes

[TrevarianX]

Not sure what class you are, but you’re definitely a Troll

[Toxigen]

Not really, just realistic.

You'd make more plat / hour tracking spawns for Riot of Vanq and burning that DKP for droppables to sell.

I'm pretty sure the occasional seahorses are from people training from cs to ww. It is weird that they reset through fellspine.

Would be cool to see an sk solo him. Can a melee /q faction on something they're solo killing and still melee it down?

Thanks. I’ll look to try out some of the previous suggestions in this thread. I suppose the farming aspect of this thread implies that I’m just seeking plat gained. I’m seeking out some fun camps to try out for exciting loot drops.

not many things tbh.. but these were the stuff i did + Reaper quest(broken rn) when i was new to the server

mostly stuff in Lguk and cpl things in HS north.. technically you only need to get a mob down to 25% Health and spam spook the dead and they flee in place with darkness on

the ghoul magi - just lull 1 and flop on crit resists
https://wiki.project1999.com/Shining_Metallic_Robes

a frenzied ghoul - when he actually has the sash he might kill you.. clear the pather + one in hall then you can sorta fear kite OR clear the entire room using lull and kite inside his room( doable at lvl 54)

https://wiki.project1999.com/Flowing_Black_Silk_Sash

a ghoul supplier - common cash camp for monks/wars since its lvl 39?
https://wiki.project1999.com/Thick_Banded_Belt

a ferocious hammerhead - kinda a tough mob.. only fight him in the room he spawns or he can get CH'd by the seahorses

the sad truth is yes a lv 60 enc with droppable gear w/ 255cha can literally farm all high plat value items mobs but you can't buy ToV gear wit plats and even if you could a fully BiS Ntov enc has no more an advantage (or feeling of progression) vs an old world geared 255 cha enc since its mostly RNG. Better off having more enchanters at that point if you look at it in the grand scheme of things... which is why I got 2 lv 60 encs and the only time i log em in is to exp crawl with friends or quickly farm things in chardok which is kinda boring after awhile... SK sniping mobs on the other hand is fun to me and there's more progression with every loot you obtain. it's like a lv 60 sham getting Torpor or epic it opens up areas they couldn't do otherwise. but that's just my opinion

[TrevarianX]

Thanks Zati! Lguk has been on my mind and I’ll be testing those camps out when I can. I’m aware the setting makes a significant difference. I’ve been fear kiting Alizewsaur in OOT with relative ease whereas my 57 Shaman can get boned by a couple resists. I did farm Reapers for a while doing faction for my Ring of the Dead recharge.

Sks have a pet, does fell try to run? I've never seen the end of the fight. If he does they could fd when he starts and let the pet finish it.

Should be able to add any of the Lower Guk named, not just the ones Taggley specifically mentioned. Froglok King is much easier than Frenzied Ghoul, and safe with the zone-out right there next to it. The spider named in Velk can also be added to that list; they're tough but manageable. Shadowknight can't clear all four at once like a shaman can but it can handle them individually. Can do the weaker areas of Mischief, I never was there long enough to push the envelope and see the limit of just how much I could do. You can do weaker stuff in Skyshrine, fe'dars and such, but the drop rates there will drive you insane.

I strongly recommend carrying shaman damage shield potions or midnight mallets, or both. They're affordable and help a great deal with tougher solo situations. Reapers being broken is a nuisance since wort potions are fairly expensive. Root click items can be obtained for free in Crystal Caverns. Most of the time it's faster to farm plat than items if you just want to make money. Relatively few items on P99 are both valuable enough and drop frequently enough for a solo melee to outpace the usual cash grinds. Do this for fun, not"'efficiency" (this forum makes me hate that word) and you'll have a good time.

10x less awesome than a dark knight murdering shit with his big ass sword

You do you, broski.

I agree with the sentiment. Casters are undeniably more powerful, but I think melees are more fun. My first high level character on P99 was my Shadowknight.
