Not on the list, but managed to solo Corrupted Seahorse (him and tainted are 51 clerics that summon and CH).

Didn't get a picture of the Tainted fight, but killed him and was able to swim around corner before Corrupted immediately aggroed.

Corrupted charmed, and I pulled the 3 remaining seahorses in cave for him to contend with:

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x205/Daldaen/EQ000097_zps4a2696e2.png

Seahorses cleared, Corrupted still at 40%, aggroed all the crappy green spawns so I could med

Undertow chamber starting to respawn, I cleared them earlier and happened to stagger the spawns so that Corrupted was just fighting one... though I was concerned the last one would spawn and snipe corrupted before I broke him.

The second seahores actually did happen to spawn but I was able to tank him and break corrupted. Followed by a root killshot.

I'll be impressed when blue disables recharging and duck casting

Also video over ss of looting

noob question: what's duck casting? just ducking to cancel a cast? probably not what you mean... could you elaborate please? what makes ducking so OP that you think it needs nerfed?

Tecmos Deception

02-27-2014, 09:04 PM

On red, recharging doesn't work, items that allow you to escape instantly with a click (leatherfood raider skullcap, cloudy potion, etc) have cast times, and ducking during a spellcast doesn't interrupt the spell until the cast finishes. These things would make the solo challenge harder than it already can be.

Mac's just a red troll though. The stuff in this thread is great and can be very challenging even with these mechanics as they are on blue.

Nice work, Red! I thought I was a newb starting the challenge having never seen most of seb/hs/etc, let alone never having played EQ until p99! Glad to see someone else having fun with the challenge again after quite a period of drought :)

02-28-2014, 04:56 AM

You killed guardian wurms without torpor?

Thinking about it, probably not, it was a long time ago and my memory ain't what it used to be. :)

As has been discussed on another thread though, I think GWs on live were easier than on P99.

How far can Druids get on this list solo? Also curious if anyone has any videos of Druids soloing things.

Daldaen

03-05-2014, 11:50 AM

I saw your PM but I've been lazy.

Two Druids are on the low end of this list. More or less what those involve is either root/rotting non-summoners which is most of the beginning tier. Or root-rotting and healing inbetween summons the lower-middle tiers. It's important to regen and DS yourself before these fights too. Cause that is the most mana efficient healing and damage you can feasible add to a fight.

Higher tier stuff can be done if an animal is charm able in zone. Mainly Kedge Keep / Chardok at the moment. With Velious, SG/WW/Kael will have solid charmed pets that I plan on testing out.

I think now the best a Druid could do would be Estrella charming a shark or Pirahna, Efreeti charming a bat. Maybe a Fear golem with a shiverback pet if you used some OP clickies like SoulFire.

I'm tempted to do some of these, but a lot of it involves doing the camp and waiting for the mob to spawn not knowing whether I can solo or not :/. Not all that attractive use of my time if the mob doesn't end up spawning. Especially since I have plenty of other things I want to do in game!

Can two necros just use chain FD/pet summon to take out any mobs (granted that they don't do more dps than it takes to cast summon pet)?

Example - I summon pet, FD and send pet on mob (pet will die but I get no agro after standing since I was never on mob's agro list).

As pet gets low life, another necro does the same thing, at which point I stand, cast pet summon and repeat (obviously not the most optimal method, but essentially 0 risk since necro never even gets on any agro list).

My only suggestion is to have a select few do what they're doing now and solo things and report back what they did to solo and gauge difficulty based off of what they were able to do using what they did.

If, at any point, both pets are dead. You will be get aggro as soon as you stand unless the mob resets.

Are you sure? I can FD, send pet on something like a guildmaster, and as soon as pet dies stand back up without any sort of agro.

Maybe since I'm not pulling them far from spawn point it is different?

Just to clarify, I don't mean to start summoning another (chain summoning) while the first is engaged, but rather to stay down in FD until pet is fully dead (then work on next pets summon when your partner is doing the same).

If it's a static mob and you're doing it directly on their pop point, yeah that would work. Cause they'd be resetting almost instantly.

Ayillish soloed last night. No puppet strings or any expendable clickies used at all. The fight took over about 35 minutes... 30 minutes until he started to run. I felt like his regen was significant... if I didn't have epic dot on him then he would regen 1% ever 24-30 seconds...

One thing to note is that I did not have Canni 4 during this fight which I think would have helped me tremendously. It is easily the best shammy spell in velious, and there is so much going on during these fights that to cast canni less would have been amazing.

I actually wiped the first time because I let slow run out, but the 2nd time i had a timer going.

Here are some screenies, but they aren't that great. TBH there wasn't a ton to see that could be captured in an instant, because the fight was so damn long... a video would have been better.

This was from blue obviously, but figured I would give King Ak'anon a try. Back when I first started playing EQ I was obsessed with the fact that cities had rulers and you could take them out! Of course I was used to console games where most of those sorts of npcs were unattackable.

Anyway the fight was tough. I wiped the first time because I geared up for fire resist, when in actuality he casts his magic nuke a ton. The nuke is no joke as it hits for like 180....

It should be noted that king ak'anon is a lvl 60 mob, making him quite serious as far as resists go.

No puppet strings or other clickies were used during this fight.

You can see at the first screenshot I am insanely low mana and he is only at 94%! The reason for this is he was chain nuking me. However you can see here that he ran out of mana because he started trying to dispell... This was a huge help because I started to be able to gain mana back (shammy can gain mana even in tough fights by constant canni + regen + torpor). He does hit for 180... and I agro'd a damn light blue spider which was very annoying.

I figured I would give Entariz a shot. I could not believe how much easier he was than Ayillish. I think it was because he had significantly lower hp, regen or both. Also he did not seem to hit as hard. Here are some screenies.... you can see my mana was really really high. Also, canni 4 is just amazing. And finally you can see that he dropped absolutely nothing, wtf!

Maybe a Fear golem with a shiverback pet if you used some OP clickies like SoulFire.

no clickies needed. i have done a fear golem charming a shiverback. somewhat luck reliant in that a pet break would likely be death, unless you had a very firm grasp on agro mechanics and cast spells accordingly. Even then you might not have time to cast charm again with two mobs coming at you and one summoning you.

breaking fear solo as a druid is rough, and takes a long time, but is doable without strong clickies.

any other harder druid soloing usually involves puppet strings to charm.

i'm looking forward to all the animals in various zones around kunark, it should be fun. might even be possible to solo some easier WW dragons with the velium hounds.

Finally got around to killing Estrella.

Charmed a Ravenous from pit, and snare pulled her out and zoned. Grabbed pet, hasted/DSed and DSed myself. I engaged!

DoT'd with Vambraces and Breath of Ro and tanked to save pets health for a bit. Eventually a pathing mermaid adds, rooted her stupid face in the back and tried to reposition pet, which pseudo worked...

I stupidly tried to nuke to finish her at the end but I underestimated her HP and got a partial, leading to a very close ending. Didn't get many screenshots but:

No, Trisantio is right. If he isn't on the aggro list before he casts FD, then he wont be on the aggro list if his pet is dead before he stands up, pather or not.

So last week or so I was able to solo Lodizal (on velious beta) without strings. It was an extremely long fight, and difficult at times. When he doubles you for 600 + bashes for 100 it can really screw up torpor timing.

Notably, I had all kunark gear, but did have velious spells. Probably would not have been doable without canni4.

I didnt take screenies because they fight was too long/boring for any good ones.

[x] the froglok king [48 paladin, Ruins of Old Guk]

I love the idea of this thread. I love gruellingly difficult games and this challenge sounds like just the thing. IMO if a game doesn't hurt just a little (via difficulty) it isn't very fun. With that in mind I decided to start on this challenge at a relatively low level (I'm a lvl48 Enchanter).
There aren't many on the list I could attempt at this level, but the king was one.

The king room was really tough to crack for me, since I'd get ~5/6 calm resists, and quite a few crit resists. I'd try calm the whole room, mez/tash/charm a frog, then send it to suicide. I would zone afterwards, and gate back to the portal behind king room where I was bound. The problem with all the resists was that even if I didn't get a crit resist, and managed to calm two or three frogs, then calm would start wearing off by the time I could calm the whole room. Nevertheless, patience and persistence would eventually clear the room. I spent a night doing this and found I could do it in a consistent, albeit time consuming, manner. It took so long that I had to log for the night.

Day 2. Started the process all over again and managed to pop king (and tactician). Shortly afterwards I spotted an invis player in the room and I was worried the camp would be taken away form me, seeing as how I was incredibly slow at picking off the frogs in the room. Luckily, the necro, and later an enchanter, were incredibly understanding, and only wanted a shot at the tactician. We agreed that they could take the tactician and his placeholders as long as they left king and everything else alone (I didn't want help clearing the room). I want to thank Phinger and Naginni for being so understanding.

Once king room was clear, except for king and a bok knight, I calmed both, mezzed/tashed/charmed/weaponised bok (with two gnoll hide lariats) and I was ready to go.

http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a628/chawinski/king02_zps2039a2ef.png

1st attempt charm insta broke, before I could get king rooted. I get ganked by king and pet, including chainstuns from the gnoll hide lariats.

2nd attempt was going great. After bok was hasted, and king slowed/tashed/rooted the bok was kicking his ass. Unfortunately the room started repopping and I died (my hp was at ~50% to start because I'd basically bind wound after zoning out, and gate back and try again to save time, specifically to avoid a room repop).

http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a628/chawinski/king04_zps62377bcf.png

3rd attempt a roamer joins the fight. I mez it and the fight it going well. Froglok tactician pops, charm breaks and I am very low on hp so run for the portal/zoneline.

4th attempt I have to deal with a pop before aggroing king. Pet takes care of it, but loses some hp. I pull king into hallway before king room with tash and send pet. The start of the fight looks bleak as pet is at ~25% while king is at 57%.

http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a628/chawinski/king05_zps1eb111f9.png

A roamer joins the fight again and I mez it and rerune. Slowed king is losing hp fast while my pet is holding strong. I start casting a few stuns (while my buffs start fading) and king gets a small heal off. He is very low on hp though, and together with my own and pet/lariat stuns, king falls!

Loot.

Looking forward to working my way through the list. Will definitely get some levels before attempting anything else. Fun times!

[x] The Spectre Sepulcher [50 Monk, HS North]
[x] The Crypt Keeper [50 Necromancer, HS North]

So I discovered HS these last few weeks and was immediately in love. The fact that you can manatap nearly everything is just huge. I cleared basement to get my bearings then headed to north to try get some nameds. Did a lot of exp'ing there and ate a lot of deaths experimenting, but I think I have the hang of it now. Maybe not the naked c/r's though grrr.

The Spectre Sepulcher was tough simply because room 2 on the wiki map is really tricky for me. I ended up pulling the room across the hall on many attempts to pull the Spectre Sepulcher out (and eating HT's ouch). Finally I just targetted a mob in the room without gaining aggro, cast sight on it and calmed everything. Ran inside and petted a greater warbone skel, hasted it and stuck it on the Spectre and fought him in the room.

For The Golem Master I just used a hasted, weaponised pet vs him. Standard. Also joined The A-Team - FUCK YEAH :)
http://i1287.photobucket.com/albums/a628/chawinski/EQ000798_zps8ee0a8a7.png

After a while in north exp'ing I found that letting swarms take down my pet, then breaking charm/nuking while everything is rooted was really the only way to go getting exp there. Works for any named's you can charm too (I know this is all old news but I've only been playing a few months). That's what I did to kill the Sentient Bile - much less hassle (surpsingly) then weaponising/hasting a pet IMO. Actually this was my second attempt because on the first attempt I mis-timed the charm break and the Bile's corpse disappeared into the ether. 'Lanly', a kind necro, let me take a shot at the bile while he was exp'ing in north - cheers mate.

At this point I had gained a few levels and lived in HS almost exclusively. I'd duo'd the Crypt Keeper so I had an idea of what I was in for. The problem was getting a crit resist while trying to calm the room of 6 mobs downstairs and 3 upstairs.

First attempt I calmed everything past the north boss door, charmed Keeper to get rid of his pet but aggro'd a sperm. No worries its just one. Had Keeper attack the 2 skels just outside door but the positioning was horrible. I couldn't get roots off on everything due to LOS issues and couldn't reposition without getting melee'd. Charm broke and I capped out.

Second attempt went much more smoothly. Killed the 3 mobs just inside north boss door and calmed the rest. This time I mezzed Keeper first to tash, mezzed Keeper's pet, and charmed Keeper (here his pet dies). Sent him to attack 3 mobs in the room then pulled everything out to the hallway. Rooted everything and it was smooth sailing.

[S] Sentient Bile [50 Warrior, HS North]
[S] Crypt Wurm [50 Warrior, HS North]
[S] The Crypt Keeper [50 Necromancer, HS North]

I'd like to start by saying that I'm pretty sure I've also killed a few of the KC mobs on the list, but I can't really remember which, and also don't really have any sort of proof/screenshots, I also don't have anything for the Crypt Keeper, crypt wurm, or Sentient Bile, but I know that I've killed all of them at least once, some a very long time ago. If needed I can do it again though.

Anyways this is long overdue at this point and I've got a lot of mobs to cover so I'll try to do them somewhat in ascending order of difficulty, and I'll divide it up into a bunch of posts as I go. Some of the older kills also didn't have very good camerawork and I forgot to timestamp them, however I've had very good luck in the past couple weeks (especially today) with being able to get better shots for a lot of the kills.

[S] The Spectre Sepulcher [50 Monk, HS North]
Found him in west, I actually like going over there for some reason, the wing is pretty crappy with only 2 spawn points but I guess I like the crawl through it, and the free chloro + extra click of cholo whenever I want it.

http://puu.sh/8UCTH.jpg

I didn't really do anything special for this fight, just calmed the room and the pathers and charmed a pet + SoS/Forlorn Deeds

http://puu.sh/8UCU4.jpg

[S] The Golem Master [50 Warrior, HS North]

http://puu.sh/8YjYD.jpg

I really should have seen what happened in this fight coming, and made sure that if my pet broke I rooted it rather than just hitting mez, hell looking back I even have a perfect SS of my pet getting poisoned, actually that may have been why I didn't notice.

http://puu.sh/8YjZf.jpg

Anyways 1 near disaster at about 4% later I rooted everything in a panic and just nuked him, and my former pet, down.
And for anyone who was wondering I did in fact survive the aftermath.

http://puu.sh/8Yk1x.jpg

[S] Skeletal Procurator [52 Shadowknight, HS West]

Before today when I had 4 EF's spawn in about a 3 hour period I'd probably killed this guy more times than any other boss in the zone, but for some reason this was the first time I'd ever taken a picture of the kill, maybe I'd always assumed that I had already done it or something.

http://puu.sh/8Yihh.jpg

I usually kill him in the room with the other 2 mobs either calmed or mezzed/rooted, but I moved him out after him and my pet almost immediately started going at it on the teleport pad. I've never been summoned onto the pad before, and I'd like to keep it that way.

http://puu.sh/8YihI.jpg

I've always kind of enjoyed the Procurator fight, maybe because the first few I had were very close.

[S] the Skeleton Sepulcher [50 Warrior, HS South]

http://puu.sh/8UCOX.jpg

This was my old kill shot of him from way back when I started trying to work on the solo artists challenge. Luckily I caught him again today because I'm pretty sure that chloro/regrowth would make this kill S- ?

http://puu.sh/8Ym0K.jpg

http://puu.sh/8Ym1R.jpg

So there's my update, without the mace my pet beat him down pretty badly.
Gonna take a little break before posting the rest of south and all of east + a cliff golem.

So before I get back into it I need to mention that for some reason my logs shut off on April 5th, and I didn't notice it until after killing Drusella a few days ago, I am just guessing, but I assume it happened at the same time I stopped running EQ as an administrator. Honestly I didn't remember switching between admin/not, but I do remember my UI completely resetting on me at one point and having to redo the entire thing, and when I finally figured out that I needed to run EQ as an admin for the log to work a couple of days ago, my UI changed on me, apparently reverting to how it was in my next image.
Basically, I have screenshots, but don't have any logs of my kills between Apr 5 and May 22nd.
[S] The Crypt Feaster [52 Warrior, HS South]

This is a very old screenshot, maybe my first when I started keeping track of kills, I didn't even have a goblin skull earring at this point. I had been killing in HS south since probably Feb/March, but I think this is in fact my first SSed kill.

http://puu.sh/8UBiA.jpg

[S] Embalming Fluid [52 Warrior, HS South]

So I'd killed a few EF's before this one, but I'd never gotten an earring, I can actually still remember how this whole thing played out. I logged in one morning and saw EF up in the cave, the fight was pretty rough but I managed to bring him down, got my first hoop, and had a look around the rest of south.

http://puu.sh/8UBEs.jpg

Now here was where it got interesting, 20 minutes later EF is up again, and the only person in the zone is a necro who isn't 60 yet, so I immediately cap, drop the FBH to an alt, recharge, gate back, and set up to kill him again.

http://puu.sh/8UBHB.j

The second fight went more smoothly than the first, and I was very glad that I offloaded that first FBH to an alt, that is of course until it took me nearly a month to turn both of them into actual plat.

http://puu.sh/8UBJX.jpg

[S] The Spectre Spiritualist [53 Monk, HS South]

I do believe this was actually the same day as my double FBH out of EF, I remember both of these pretty well, but separately. This was my second time actually killing the Spiritualist, and until today when I did again, it was the last time I killed him. I don't know why, but this fight always seems to go badly for me, pet breaks, summons, root/mez/stun/slow resists, the Spiritualist tends to fuck me up even when the pull goes fine.

http://puu.sh/8UCWA.jpg

I actually ended up leaving HS right after this kill to join a fungi group with the guy I was talking to here. Didn't even wait to check the respawn.

[S] The Crypt Excavator [54 Warrior, HS East]

This was my first kill in east, and one of my oldest shots as well, and it just reminded me, I actually owned a goblin skull earring well before I started using it for casting. It was just for a junk buff back then.

http://puu.sh/8UBg7.jpg

The important thing about this fight though was that I discovered that by just running in YOLO and stunning all 3 pathers, nothing else actually agroed in the Southeast spawn spot, a fact that very recently got me the last couple east spawns I needed. I honestly expected to die going into this fight and probably should have, but somehow it worked out and I managed to take him down. I've made major adjustments to the process of fighting in that hallway since then, and discovered all sorts of ways to make the rooms on either side agro, but I may never have even tried to kill down there if it weren't for this fight.

[S] Mortiferous Protector [54 Warrior, HS East]

I believe this was actually my second GM kill. For the longest time I was under the impression that Drusella spawned all the way in the back in that pad room at the end of HS east, and I was planning to set up a kill on her eventually but had no idea how people pulled her all the way through that 7 spawn room, this lead me to try some really dumb stuff and need a few corpse summons, until I finally realized that I had Drusellas location completely wrong.

http://puu.sh/8UCEJ.jpg

My very first time sneaking through the locked door this guy was up, and I believe I managed the fight on my first try and it didn't feel as difficult as these shots make it seem.

http://puu.sh/8UCGB.jpg

http://puu.sh/8UCGR.jpg

I would not end up killing that particular Undertaker Lord that you see casting, I think I took a shot or 2 at him, but failed miserably.
With that I'm at 10 images again and this post is done, cliff golem and whatever else fits next.

[S] A cliff golem [58 Warrior, The Overthere]

This fight was dumb, and probably should have been even easier than it was, luckily for you all I managed to make things more interesting than they had any right to be.

http://puu.sh/8UAj5.jpg

So I charmed the foreman because why not, and forgot to give him weapons before sending him in. I had to mash back him off after rooting the golem to give him weapons between summons, and also get the golem slowed. Once I had that done the fight was kind of a joke, I just SoSed/Runed/Bedlamed my pet and he demolished the golem. Gave up on cripple/weaken after 1 shot though since neither landed.
So smooth sailing right, my pets still at almost 40%, I'll even take a few seconds tabbed out not paying attention to paste my screenshot.

http://puu.sh/8UAjC.jpg

By the time I tabbed back in this was what I was greeted with.

http://puu.sh/8UAjN.jpg

gg, Well at least enrage was already done with I guess, so I just finished it off easy enough.

http://puu.sh/8UAkz.jpg

I ended up giving this charcoal to some bard that played healing or mana song for me after the fight.

http://puu.sh/8UAkU.jpg

Anyways the fight was an utter disappointment for me as far as a challenge was concerned, I assume had charm broke things would be different, but it didn't. Last little thing, just need to break my pet, and what the heck I'll kill it I was thinking, but at the exact moment I hide off my pet, General fucking V'Deers agros me.

http://puu.sh/8UAl7.jpg

I managed to run away and gated back to my spawn, but survived his DoTs anyway.

I just noticed I moved on to East while completely forgetting possibly my favorite screenshot of them all.

[S] a Crypt Spectre [50 Shadowknight, HS South]

I mean really, I hadn't even been hit yet here, its just perfect.

http://puu.sh/8Yso2.jpg

Anyways my pet didn't even break through my Rune, and the rest of the fight was easy.

[S] Drusella Sathir [55 Necromancer, HS East]

I actually died on both of my first 2 attempts at her. The first attempt should have been a success but I made a ton of little errors, and also had decided to clear the room ahead of her spawn and when she actually did pop I was only at about 35% mana. Maybe I should have medded up more, but I was feeling the pressure from a bunch of other people wanting shots at her and I didn't want someone else to go in claiming I wasn't engaging fast enough. The fight was still looking fine and I had her all the way down to 18% and slowed, and I was even nuking her because I got overconfident, completely forgetting that with only slant and Boltrans up I needed 525 mana to recharm if it broke. Well it broke and I was 75 mana short on redoing Boltrans, so i died. Second attempt a day later I decided to just calm the whole room and pull her since I didn't really know how to indirect agro pull and was taking too long trying to figure it out. Calming the 4 golems + waiting for her to path away from the 5th spawn took too long and I ended up getting 1 of the golems with her, and died. Anyways there was a cleric there and I was given basically as many chances as I wanted at her this time, probably because she was holding a rod :p but on the 3rd try I took her down. That 4th shield icon was actually GMR, for a second I actually thought I had a cleric buff on me from the rez, but my HP total and MR make me sure that the kill was legit.

http://puu.sh/8UBsm.jpg

Unfortunately this was the only shot that I took of the fight itself. Also, I did have a witness for this one. :)

http://puu.sh/8VepT.jpg

I had changed tactics for the room and stopped trying to hold a pet after managing to agro the entire north room when one of the pathers respawned and walked out, but since this guy was undead like everything else in the area, I could just walk up to him and say hi.

[S] The Undertaker Lord [56 Shadowknight, HS East]

This fight is a 2 parter, since I had regrowth on me for the first kill and by the time I finally did the pull the way I should have from the start I really wasn't paying attention to buffs anymore.

I actually spent a lot of time thinking that there was an easier way to do this pull, the final room has weird agro and none of the golems below will agro if you stay out of direct vision and pull only mobs up top. After figuring this out I spent way too much time trying to fight him in there with only calming 1 of the 2 top floor mobs. It went pretty horribly, I can only assume because the mobs in the room are higher level than the pather in the hall that I would eventually charm to kill him, but in theory if you could get a lower level mob to spawn in that room you could pull him with only having to calm 1 mob and wait for the hall pather not to be in the room. Also during this period I became painfully aware that even though I could hit him with my color stuns, they didn't actually do anything since he's level 56.

A few days and a few corpse summons later, with a now completely depleted Soulfire just from trying to figure that out I finally decided to just calm everything. It had failed in the past, but on this attempt I got him to come solo. Notice that I had forgotten to even give my pet weapons before this pull.

http://puu.sh/8UDnq.jpg

I was pretty drained at this point and not really thinking straight, for some reason I believed that his SK DoTs were a lot more dangerous than they are and rather than just runeing my pet up and letting it do all the work, I tried to win the race by DoTing and nukeing him myself.

http://puu.sh/8UDnS.jpg

I ended up winning, and celebrating for a while, but then I went back to look at the screenshots I realized that I had fucked up and still had regrowth for the fight and found myself wondering if I'd need to spawn and kill him again. Luckily for me he spawned again 20 mins later. Even luckier I was able to pull him without any issue.
I decided to blank the chat on this one, it was just a conversation that I was having.

http://puu.sh/91bxt.jpg

At this point I was still going at it with the nukes, and this fight should have been a lot smoother than the first, but about half way through he hit me with fear and I spent a good 20-30 seconds sitting there stunned.

http://puu.sh/91by7.jpg

I managed to drop him, but unfortunately my pet died from the DoTs while I was looting. That hamal was probably the best pet possible in that hallway. I used boltran's for the fights, but know it could be allured, and I don't even think that it could summon. Most importantly though, it never broke during either fight.

http://puu.sh/91byF.jpg

Some time between the previous fight and this one I realized that there wasn't really any point in even having my Mystic Cloak out in the inventory as for a fight like this it wouldn't even last me a single round of getting hit, and trying to equip it while getting beat on then spamming its shield really wouldnt do much. Since my objective on this kill was to get the solo credit anyways I just put it away and had basically nothing besides the cap available if things went south.

http://puu.sh/91bzD.jpg

Part of it may have been my own bad tactics, and part was probably how long it took for me to finally get him, but both fights were actually a lot of fun, and probably the best time I've had working on the solo challenge so far. Actually I think for me it was the stun immunity and nearly 23k HP, it added a whole new level of fear to the fight.

http://puu.sh/91bAa.jpg

With that I've knocked out everything in HS. I think in the next few days I'll probably move on to Sebilis since that's where the bulk of the remaining mobs in the challenge are, but I still might decide to hit the more out of the way stuff first. I'll also post a proper challenge card here at some point.

I think maybe like 5 soulfires would be enough to kill a named, but breaking in and clearing ph might take the other 15, so 20 sounds about right.

Duo Emperor Chottal

Posting this mostly b/c I doubt many Rogue/Sham duos in this thread lol. 60 sham 60 rogue, Supaskillz and Myer on the kill. Didn't take any screen shots or have any proof other than a sweet Nathsar great sword and Spell: Entrapping roots because wasn't thinking about this thread when we did it but posting anyway for fun.

Someone was camping crypt when we zoned in but said they were not doing blood/emp so we decided to give it a shot b/c duoing emp seemed fun. We got down and broke camp with just the two of us and camped it for several hours.
(Aside: In fact while we were there the crypt group mostly left and a shaman just stayed camping the hiero only so while waiting for emp to spawn we also got an Arch Duke Latol kill and bunch of the garbage named phs, but just a yak club to show for it. )

The emp spawed while we were killing some of the trash so he was able to pet and buff before we could engage. Strat was basically simultaneous pull with rogue dispelling Emp and shaman rooting pet. Rogue tanked entire fight shaman quickly dispelled again then malo and slow and proceed to heal rogue and canni/torpor self as well while rogue, pet and shaman epic take it down. Since chottal spends alot of time casting its easy for rogue to backstab while tanking.

Unfortunately I was unable to resist any of Chottals spells other than an annul magic with around 140 mr and around 100 pr/dr (totally forgot to use potions to up this a little higher ... and they were even in my bags... and next time I will wear more resist gear than I did) and was forced to burn 9 stinging wort charges and a couple of frantic sup heals thrown on top of torpor to survive until the poison dot wore off, but once we made it through that one then shaman could keep up with torpor. Once emp ran out of mana he obviously was super easy.

Pretty limited playtime, but hoping to do some more fun duos and next time hopefully I will remember this thread and take some screen shots and stuff.

I don't care about all this crying. As far as I'm concerned whoever is going to engage with the fewest players deserves the pull.

I am interested in fraps of kill if you have, Or a run down of strat/fight? What clickies did you use?

Velerin

06-16-2014, 06:01 PM

Has anyone here ever managed to solo Phinigel? I was wondering if a cleric with puppet strings could do it?
Find best possible pet to drag down to lair. Someone else would have to pull Phinney up or distract seahorses. DA tank Phinney while charmed pet hits from behind (Phinney should only dispel who he's attacking) When both DAs wear off just self heal with quick heals as long as you can til pet can dps him down.

If your strat involves someone else's help doesn't that (at least logically if not by the rules of the contest) disqualify it as a solo?

people post asterisked kills plenty, where the pull was assisted or invis pulling was used (when this worked).

Liia

06-17-2014, 05:44 AM

I bet I could probably be able to solo pull Phinigel with the pet, but I don't think I'd have a single chance to solo Phinigel, even more that I'd have to use Rez Box pull and i'd be oom on engage. He dispels way too much to land either a normal CH or a BP CH on a pet, pet would just brake then I would be eaten alive. In the case someone would help with the pull, it would be the same thing, dispells too much and DA tanking doesnt work since it would just attack the pet. Phinigel probably takes 15mins to kill with a epic mage so I don't think there's any mob that could damage Phinigel fast enough in any case.

It shouldn't be doable.

There was trouble with this coding for quite some time durring my internship for SOE pre-velious. It was refrered to jokingly as the rules for disengagement (sp?) it was met under the following conditions:

1.) if target= >25% HP and distance = not visible (outside of the max clip plane of a player) then /disengage (retain aggro list)
2.) if target - >25% HP and distance from spawn = > not visible from pathing then /disengage (retain aggro list)
3.) if mob <50% and Player >50% and distance between mob and player increasing at not visible from pathing for more then 60 seconds then /disengage (retain aggro list)

You could solo him with a monk if you were allowed a pocket bard for resists, maybe even without one. Liia could maybe pull the pet thing off with bracer of hidden and blazing arms chain clicking.

Daldaen

06-17-2014, 01:51 PM

The dispell does 4 slots at a time I think.

I *thought* his dispell was only single target, but here it is AE. Which would allow for you to tank it and let pet crush from behind.

Pint

06-17-2014, 01:58 PM

was only 2 slot the last time i killed him, used monk bard and cleric and iirc the cleric just stood around watching.

Back in business :

[S*] a necrosis scarab [53 Warrior, Sebilis]

Sebilis was quiet. And NG was a full spawn. So I decided to try to solo it with Frida, my 58 bard. I was lucky the roamer was a non summoner knight. It took me 10 minutes to kill it, but at least I killed it.

Then I went for the first septis scarab. I noticed the snared bugs were broken, regular kiting was not an option. After killing the scarab for another 10 minutes, I could pet the remaining scarab and engage the necrosis with him on my side :

http://i.imgur.com/FdE1gmr.jpg

It went alright but the necrosis killed my pet faster than I expected.

http://i.imgur.com/35hCdww.jpg

So I ended with a necrosis scarab single, down to 40%. And while it took me 2 minutes to get there, the rest of the fight was about to take about 25 minutes.

http://i.imgur.com/2oazkQA.jpg

Mezz and heal up for 5 minutes, melee it for 30 seconds. 5% hp at a time... i didn't expect it to take that long, otherwise I would have gotten another pet. But it was late and i was feeling lazy.

And then a crypt group showed up and started killing frogs around NG. So soon enough, there was nothing left to charm.

I marked it S* because eventually the krup roamer respawned and that crypt group killed it. Even though I probably could have been able to charm the roamer and finish the necrosis scarab with it.

Anyway, after a good 30 minutes fight, it finally went down (loot was Cane of Tranquil and a ruby) :

Nice job Filbus. Crazy what's possible when you have a chance.
I was at crypt and heiro was open so I started killing the ph. Next pop was heiro and I almost had him. Got him to 40% pretty fast but then I mistakenly tried to nuke him down rather than just heal pet. He kept healing and healing and I eventually had to gate out. He also had the sword though and those procs were eating up Fluffy. I really want to try him again.

I duo Efreeti quite regularly with either a bard or a cleric.

That being said, with a cleric, one time I said "let me try to solo Efreeti lord." This was a few minutes before the pop. Clicked off symbol/hero, then one of the imps popped. I rooted the imp with a Net and popped Aggressive disc on Djarn when he was up.

It was an easy as fuck fight. I resisted 90% of what Djarn threw at me, he got a couple partials in there on Cold spells. (Pretty much the only thing he can land on me when I have my MR up to 170+ without even using a Greater Null pot). Makes me want a Seahorse cloak cause occasionally while duoing I've eaten a full Ice Comet.

I kept the add off with root nets for the 3 minutes it took me to kill Djarn. I ended the fight with about 40% hp, just about to hit zerker rage. Use Dagas/Jagged Sword of Mourning as weps (I don't have epics yet) and stacked MR gear.

Anyway, I'm not sure if this counts as a solo or duo, cause we had already broken into his room as a duo. It was me versus Djarn and I raped him.

I'd be interested to know what people think on this subject. To be a full solo kill, would I have to solo clear all the way into his room? I'm dependent on root nets for CC as a warrior, but I'd love to be able to put down a Full Solo on Djarn in the next month.

You had a [S*-] I think.

Melee, unlike casters, are allowed buffs from other players and a kill still counts as "solo", so you actually didn't have to click off the cleric buffs. But using a root net is a strong clicky that gives you the "-" and djarn's room starting off cleared with a partner gives you the "*" because you didn't do the pull yourself.

Imo you don't need to solo all the way from the entrance of a zone to the pull of your target in order for it to count as a solo WITH pull kill (although some people feel differently, I think). I'd say whatever room/camp the target mob is in needs to be fully spawned and handled only by you to avoid having the * on your kill. You will have a hard time doing most any kill as a warrior without strong clickies for CC, but everyone who reads this thread understands that seeing a warrior kill something in HS north, even if he had to use 8 root nets to make it happen, pulled off something pretty difficult and unusual.

Daldaen

07-30-2014, 02:45 PM

Root nets are considered a strong clicky?!?!

Puppet Strings, Donal's, SoulFire, Manastone, VP Robes/Staves (some are some aren't "strong", just didn't feel like listing em) are strong clickies. Didn't think invis rings or root nets were included in that. Not that this matter much just surprised they were lumped in with the likes of puppet strings and SoulFires.

Tecmos Deception

07-30-2014, 03:38 PM

Instant CC (that's cheap and available in large amounts, no less!) is about as strong as a clicky can get, imo. Overall I'd rather have bags of nets on hand than a single reaper charge, etc.

You had a [S*-] I think.

Melee, unlike casters, are allowed buffs from other players and a kill still counts as "solo", so you actually didn't have to click off the cleric buffs. But using a root net is a strong clicky that gives you the "-" and djarn's room starting off cleared with a partner gives you the "*" because you didn't do the pull yourself.

Imo you don't need to solo all the way from the entrance of a zone to the pull of your target in order for it to count as a solo WITH pull kill (although some people feel differently, I think). I'd say whatever room/camp the target mob is in needs to be fully spawned and handled only by you to avoid having the * on your kill. You will have a hard time doing most any kill as a warrior without strong clickies for CC, but everyone who reads this thread understands that seeing a warrior kill something in HS north, even if he had to use 8 root nets to make it happen, pulled off something pretty difficult and unusual.

Gonna have to fucking solo some HS north shit then.. Sneak pulling + Clickies should do me solid.
WIll report back soon.

Just finished reading this. I am going to try the challenge on red as an Enchanter, which will definitely add a new element to it.

Quick question: What do other enchanters use for mem blur?

I have just been using the level 4 mez until it blurs, but I am sure there is a better option.

As a HE, I can use the stalking probes to get past locked doors in Seb right? How does that work exactly?

Should I even attempt HS at 54, or should I wait until I get a few levels? I figure I won't be able to do the challenge mobs yet at 54, but I could learn the layout while getting some exp, I just grabbed my HS key the other day.

Currently I have Jboots, gobby earring, and I am camping the gob ring. What other clickies should I try to gather up? Bracer of the Hidden would be good, but the lack of recharging and added cast time makes hatting not as beneficial.

On spells, I am currently missing Allure and Clarity 2 as the important ones, but I am also missing a few others that are 49 or low 50's. Any other spells that Enchanters find irreplaceable while trying this? I skipped quite a few while leveling because plat and researched spells are hard to find on Red. Any input on spells/uses would be great.

I am on a Mac, but I am thinking of switching to my PC, since there are a ton of small issues with Project1999 on the Mac (270 degree mouse turns, lag, random window pop ups, etc.) and I think all of these could hinder me. Has anyone done these challenges on a Mac? I have no idea how to get screenshots to work on it since that will be another issue.

I think this should be pretty enjoyable, especially when pvp happens and I am close to ending a fight. The pvp is the main reason I want to get screenshots working. There is a 50% chance I will have a 150+ MR SK coming at me in Lguk when I try the King.

Tecmos Deception

08-01-2014, 01:40 PM

I'll usually either just spam level 4 mez until it blurs, or use lowest mem blur. I only ever use something else, like blanket of forgetfulness, if I want to blur a group of mobs.

Gnome illusion. Duck+run into door. Click off illusion. Stand up. Click probe. Click off probe buff after you pop through the door.

I XPed at HS entrance at 52 on my chanter on red, though waiting until 54 isn't a bad idea. I liked it at 52 because it was so dead in there... never had to worry about someone floating down from above and blasting me like in CoM or whatever, plus you get spell drops. You could kill the challenge mobs in north at 54, it'd just be very dangerous, especially for the boss up there.

I love shaman potions for curing poison and disease.

C2 is actually less important (when you're in HS) than ToT is, haha. You'll get it to drop if you spend a few levels grinding in HS anyway; 51-54 spells all over the place in the whole zone.

Berserker strength and rune 5. Don't be afraid to spend dots or put BS up (in front of rune) for trying to break into a larger spawn, especially if the mobs in there can HT or cast.

Chewie is scared of leaving his swamp, and everyone else is scared of HS ("WE XP IN LCY CAUSE WE NEED TSTAFFS BRO"). I think I saw 4 players total in the zone in the time it took me to take red Tecmos from 52 to 56, and none of them were anywhere except entrance, basement, or north.

You can totally dominate all of HS on a chanter on red. Don't listen to the baddies who think that just because you don't have a hat and a soulfire it is impossible to solo in there. Just know the right spots to die and the right items to keep in bank and/or on corpses to keep CR pain to a minimum and it is basically as simple to CR as it is to recharge a hat on blue anyway.

[D-] Neh'Ashiir [54 Enchanter, City of Mist]

Done with Eratani and myself (2 60 druids).

Probably the hardest thing was figuring out how to aggro him through the door without a rogue.

Strong items... Puppet Strings / Robe of the Spring.

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x205/Daldaen/EQ000151_zpsa8083dde.png

Fortunately he spawned after just 2 reavers.

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x205/Daldaen/EQ000152_zpsd0464e26.png

Allowed him to CH once because pets almost pushed him over the side. Controlling push on them was interesting, couldn't really get the angle to offset each others push after a charm break.

Woodsman's Staff + 57 Cleric Group Heal drop, but meh. Was just for the lols of 2 druids killing him.

Hi Everyone,

I started playing in March and quickly found this thread. I have been working on getting to the point where I could start completing some of the challenges and have enough time to finally start posting. Hopefully I will be able to periodically update with some of the kill stories. Also I have made a point to record all the videos of the kills. Someday I may go back and do some commentary on them.

Thanks!

Specially Thanks to Tecmos for inspiration and lots of question answering and Dazzlerazzle for getting me started on the server.

Invised down during the day, calmed the water elemental. calmed the room and suicide the PH. Then did it over and over camping by the exit portal and checking trackers for epic mobs. Got about 8 PH, and 1 tactician (no tiara). Came back later that night and killed a PH then he spawned with just the 2 guards up. I already had the guards calmed. he agroed me sitting on the ledge. Rooted him upstairs in the hallway mezed. setup pet downstairs with haste. chain stunned starting at 50%. Not to bad. was very happy to get my first SAC kill though!

[S] Sentient Bile [50 Warrior, HS North] 6/19/2014
Basically scared shitless. I was duoing with a shammy and we were about to go into north after killing the Golems outside and his power went out from a storm. I have watched Tecmos video from Red a bunch of times. I followed his lead to the safe spot lulling the biles and what not. lulled some pathers and did some tests on the agro range for the static spawns to the right. petted up and cleared the left room camped it for 1 or 2 respawns killing that room and the pathers. Pretty easy.

Was duoing basement with a necro, getting exp about 4% from 58 he had to go so I went upstairs and this guy was up in the left side room. Pretty standard lulls and reverse charm which seems to be the less tedious way to kill these guys. S- cause I didnt realize i had dmf ;/ will do it again some day I guess (ended up getting it again at 60 when refreshing keys in north without DMF)

[S] The Crypt Keeper [50 Necromancer, HS North] 6/26/2014
After killing Crypt Wurm and 3 more biles I noticed through the wall that this guy was up. I had just dinged 58 so I thought what the hell might as well give it a shot and Hat out if I fuck up. Lullel all the dudes to get a key from the middle room, waited for respawns in the outer hallway then killed the 3 guys upstairs. Medded up lulled the entire room and mezzed the Keeper. tash + allure to kill the pet then reverse charm vs 3 of the rooted dudes. I had replaced my goblin ring with a cha ring cause i was scared of lull resists and forgot to put it back on. almost let him die. finally broke him and rooted, he got a dot off I nuked looted and gated. Overlooking the dropdown to HS I was clicking off all my buffs so I could dispel the dot and ended up fatfingering and quitting eq. logged back in with 6% hp. First Disciple kill though. Now I can corpse a West key and start making moves in there. Might go back to seb and start working on Disco, not sure yet.

Was going to PL a friend outside of KC and while I was waiting I went to check on named here. Made my way through all the trains to Hand room, everything was fully popped on the way. I saw Knight of Sathir casting, gnomed up and took a peak and saw Warlord up too! Asked my friend how to actually get to his room and made my way. Went down and calmed the room from outside the door easy peasy. mezed tashed petted up one of the guards then pulled warlord with tash and rooted him on my pet. pet broke at some % i forget and I had to stun to get it under control and agroed one of the other guards. ended up under control and died to the next pet break. Ran back after getting a port with no sow and no lev tried again. pet broke under a torch and i got stuck ducking and couldnt stun. game over.
3rd time charmed a diff dog and didnt give him a torch no break owned warlord shitty loot and gated out.

Ended up PLing my buddy for a bit more after killing the other KC mobs. after that session decided to just run though and see if anything was up. Contruct was in Hand room so I figured I should get it out of the way. First attempt i tried to reverse charm to get rid of the pet. Huge mistake, got rocked just all around bad. He seems pretty MR. Anway next go, calmed the room set up a pet with haste and a torch then mezed construct and killed pet. It died in 2 seconds. Then rooted/slow/cripple and it was easy as pie. killed undead jailer with the same charmed hand. Warlord was up so I got that guy again too.

I also cleared the whole entire hallway before. Really wasnt to bad. charm never broke had him mez/cripd/slowed the whole time. gated after shitty loot and went for my last guy for HS. hopefully I get him so I can spend some time in seb.

Had been clearing West for 3-4 days on and off trying to get this guy to spawn. There was a necro (Stenxx) in North most of the time when I was trying to spawn this guy. Had about an hour Monday night so I jumped on and went into north to see what was up. Necro was in there clearing and was going to let me know when he popped. While I was running around he spawned and I took him out easily. Technically not solo as the other group was clearing shit and the spawns were broken but I’ve cleared North and West so many times that I’m counting it ;) Time to work on Seb!

Well I lied while I was about to run to Karnors to get ported to seb I thought what the hell and went for the Golem. The Foreman already had a whip and torch. Set him up with haste and raptured the golem. Took 2 raptures to land slow and I was low on mana. No charm breaks, only had to bedlam and rune the pet once after I let him eat enrage for a couple hits. pretty simple, Pet ended at 9%. Got a peridot for my troubles

[S] Froglok Chef [52 Warrior, Sebilis Chef/Bar] 9/17/2014
Headed down to Seb early in the day just to explore. I had been there a lot back in the day on my druid but only really been to the chef/bar area since playing on p99. Went down to Disco and saw a group in the front and buffed them up. Got distracted by my wife as i was poking around and agroed 2 golems died while half paying attention to them breaking out of root. The group I just buffed rezzed me and I realized I forgot to bind.

Played my lvl 25ish sham with my friends for a bit and when we stopped grinding i figured id treck it back to seb and see if any nameds were up and set up for the morning. There was a dead group at NG so i dragged them all back up top. I used this time to explore a bit as I was searching for everyones corpse and get the lay of the land a bit. Everything except chef got a CC so I headed that way and ran into a group...Found out they were just leaving so I kept moving on, stuff was starting to repop. so i checked the side spawns and killed the hammer guys ph using tecmos trick of sitting behind the desk to calm and then suicide him. This place is definitely different than HS. Shamans suck wizards hurt and the krup knights seem to have infinite hp. Generally stuff seems more resisty as well. Anyway i saw that the chef room was starting to repop. So I calmed and invised over there and Camped out some agro from an annoying krup knight pet. 4 out of 5 mobs were up including Chef. I calmed a wiz and shm then chef and a bok knight in the back corner. petted him up and weaponized/hasted and figured the back left would spawn while i was fighting so i pulled him back to the door, tashed chef rooted and slowed and he got chopped up like butter. seb scale hat for my first kill in Seb. hopefully get a little luckier going forward. 2 more for Disciple.

note: I realize it wasnt a full pop but I took liberty that I could have lulled the back left spawn in chef room.

[S] a necrosis scarab [53 Warrior, Sebilis] 9/17/2014
Woke up gated to Seb and buffed up. Went to scout out some named and didn't see anyone where I normally see shaman soloing and calling NG. I dont remember this camp being called that on Xegony and I had never seen any mobs up because someone was always clearing it. Anyway full spawn and I noticed the 3 scarabs. I was expecting capital letters for the named but double checked and sure enough the necrosis scarab was up right in the middle. I calmed a roaming krup and the 3 scarabs and then petted one of the scarabs. terrible idea. Charm broke 3-4 times within a min and I was being stubborn trying to salvage this. ended up capping with 10% health and mana.

Came back without recharging the hate since I had seen a few shaman in the area and wanted to try and snipe this before they could get down there. rebuffed and made my way down, medded up in the corner the petted the krup. He already had a torch from someone else and I rooted him with the idea that I would charm him right before i engaged. I charmed and pulled the scarab and charm broke instantly after tashing the scarab. i rooted him near my pet but not close enough. slowed the target and recharmed the pet. broke root and let him at it. he was dominating and then charm started breaking. I think i had 3 breaks by the time he got under 10%. Anyway after Nec being at 1% for what seemed like forever he finally went down. I ended with about 20% mana and the krup wouldn't stay charmed or mezzed and was summoning me. I just wanted to land one boltrans and camp but alas I got owned and with no cap I had to CR myself. Got A CSS and 1 kill closer to disciple so I think I came out on top

[S] Brogg [55 Warrior, Sebilis Disco] 9/18/2014
So I woke up early and was logged out at KC for some reason. I went in and sniped a berzerker for a ring real quick and gated to Seb. As per usual I calmed my way down to the group at NG and started scouting for named. I am getting way more familiar with Seb and generally appreciate how different it is from HS. Checked out Jail through the wall and calmed back down to Disco one. Took some time to figure out the pathing of the roamers outside the temple of Disco and killed the PH scarab in the Frenzied room. I tried to kill the Illis shaman that was spawned on disco using a dar knight, but the knight got slowed and I ended up training myself and having to gate out. This is when I realized my cap isnt charged but I thought what the hell Ill keep going. Made my way back down and calmed the disco room instead of dealing with the PH as I wasnt going to have time if something spawned anyway. Moved back into the hallway where the library is and scouted around, learned the roamers and spawns in the side rooms and moved back into what I think is Disco 2. All PHs in there but I ended up killing the two roamers and the headed back to the library. I calmed the 4 static and the roamer and found the invis doorway to the ‘safe hall’. I dont think this is actually that safe, as the roamer from library seems to agro in there as I found out later.

Anyway, I scouted the side room and up ahead and saw that Brogg was up. I was pretty timid because I didnt have my hat charged and I wasnt sure exactly how hard this dude would be. I figured what the hell and went for it. I calmed the room in the hallway and got a low level dar set up as a pet ended up killing the library roamer and bluring to reset my pet. then I calmed Broggs room starting with low -> high lvl mobs. I remember from reading Tecmos story of Brogg about the Pox scarab in the lava so i made sure he was calmed as well. Pulled Brogg with tash and rooted him around the corner from the door way in the safe hall. charm broke once early at 90% but the pet was keeping up with him. Ended up having to slow twice during the fight and I was getting ready to calm and dazzle one of the casters in the room off the hallway for a ToT if needed. while i was fucking around back there the calms wore off in broggs room and I was having trouble finding the scarab, He agroed my pet but luckily I had dazzle up so i mezzed him. at this point the pet was neck and neck with Brogg. I tossed the pet a bedlam just in case though it wasnt really needed since Brogg started running. Ended up looting the shield. and camping out the agro on the scarab and pet then gated.

Sorry hit record a little late on this one.

[S] Froglok Ostiary [50 Warrior, Sebilis Disco] 9/19/2014
What a long day. The night before I did 3 Chardok royals raids and a little PL for a friend in between. Grats to Dizey and me on back to back Insignia Protectors. Mine came around 2am. Got up early at 7 and went down to check on Disco mobs again. Sniped the beetle ph with the mobs in the room and then went for the illis shaman ph for Gruplinort. This guy was a royal fucking pain. I really really hate dealing with shaman mobs in seb, they make me miss HTs in Howling Stones. anyway eventually after sending in like 3 or 4 different pets i took him down. At this point me and some other BDA went to help out with a failed trak kill for a long time. Ended up coming back down to Disco to see someone else had just sniped Ostarty and beetle phs but I didnt see anyone around. Frenzied PH spawned which I killed with the mob in his room and then I saw Ostary through the wall, used the same pet and calmed the dude next to him and the roamer. Took him down super easy. WTS Donals Arms.

[S] Frenzied Pox Scarab [50 Warrior, Sebilis Disco] 9/19/2014
This is the reason I hate this Area and the stupid Illis Shaman. I was probably on my 3rd pet and it was taking forever to kill this stupid PH, anyway the Frenzied room respawns with the shaman at ~10%. I mezzed the Frenzied and and luckily killed the Illis as another shaman spawned in the room. I suicided my pet and got the new shaman ready to kill Frenzied. Pretty straight forward at this point except you can see i started with about 30m after charming the new guy. Ended up Killing the Frenzied again on the next cycle too. I have generally grown to hate this area and cannot wait till I kill Grup and can move on to Disco 2. I probably died 3-4 times and had to gate/camp with less that 20% hp a few times as well. 2 Beetle Stingers, 1 rotted :(

[S] Gruplinort [53 Wizard, Sebilis Disco] 9/21/2014
Woke up early again in crypt after a group yesterday, I figured I might go for one if they were up but alas, all PH. Gated out and made my way down to disco. All PH there as well. cleared the phs in disco one and kept it down for 2 cycles. only got Frenzied Scarab. I figured I should at least try the Commander PH. Pulled him into the scarab room and had a good dar pet. The illis wizard ph started to gate so i threw down a trusty stun. Should have known hed resist. he summoned my pet who got womp then me. hatted out with 20 frogs chasing me down.

Anyway recharged and headed back down agroing 2 packs on the way and having to blur them all, Grup ph was still down so i medded up in pox room. killed the scarab ph and a shm still up in there so id have some room to fight. Petted a dar in the room and Calmed the room outside. ended up agroing the roamers and killed them both with the dar then blured him up to full. rooted the pet and calmed and pull grup again. charm broke as grup was coming in then a few stun and mez resists and i get blown up with a 750 nuke and hasted pet getting some shots on me. Was dead before i realized what happened.

Buffed up outside and took my chances calming my way down again. Seb was dead but I didnt really want to take a risk of someone snagging him if I got a rez and took my time. made it to disco without incident and invised to the safe spot and killed the pox ph and shm in the room. same thing as above, petted the dar calmed the room (with roamers still down) and pulled grup with ToT, sent pet and charm broke immediately. aoe mez resist on grup and stun resist, finally got everything under control with a tash mez and rooted both the pet and grup. eventually got him slowed. pet was keeping up pretty good but his nukes hit hard, through a bedlam on pet and stunned a few times. pet ended up killing him with about 10% hp.
calmed my way out and camped the pet agro to help a guildy with a CR. Done for the day.

Also I had both the first death and the kill recorded but OBS updated and for some reason only recorded a black screen, lame. Elder spiritist bracer and Disciple Rank! Going to move into Disco 2 which seems like a less hectic camp.

[S] Froglok Commander [55 Warrior, Sebilis Disco]
Headed back down to Disco. Really getting sick of going down here with all the see invis. Killed the Frenzied and ostarity PH and calmed my way back to the commander area. charmed the illis knight pather ph and sent him against the pickler room. Kind of a risky move but i wasnt in the mood to wait around. anyway the 3 mobs killed him then i made them kill each other. Fun being an enchanter ;). a few times in here I ended up training myself and had to cap out 2 or 3 times because of crit resists and in one case a charm broke while I was in the pox room and he pulled all the mobs from between pickler and pox. ended up dying to a dot in WC. anyway got rezzed and made my way back down agaaaain. I saw a warrior type up through the wall from pox room and got back there. Commander had popped. none of the pickler mobs were up though so I just waited. ended up getting a pet from the iksar necro room in the hallway and killing one of the pickler mobs. Commander comes solo by pathing over there. Im pretty sure I wasnt fully ready so my first pet died and I had to mez Commander and get another pet. he was pretty easy though, used a bok shaman and spammed him to sit so he wouldnt cast. no charm breaks. shitty loot. 1 more in this area then its off to Chef/bar

[Trio] Ixiblat Fer [61 Warrior, Burning Woods]

So Juevento(on 60 chanter) and I(60 Cleric) stumbled across an abandoned Ixlebat Fer so we decided to give this a shot duo. We buffed up and pulled Slixn over to DL zoneline. After we, and Slixn, were fully buffed, we both bound there and positioned. I ran out to tag ixy with cancel magic and gated back to the spot.

Upon Ixy arrival, he landed with a ferocious demeanor. Complete heal was fun landing for 10k heals on Slix. With VoG Slix, everything was going well! We even found that with a tsh, you can land Forlorn Deeds on Ixy (after a few attempts). Juev used a wand of allure to get pet under instant control on pet breaks, but on 2nd break Juev bit the dust. Fortunately his computer is fast and he was right there memming allure after death zone. I DA/DB tanked while he waited for allure to pop and got pet under control. agro from pet wasnt enough for Ixy to forget about my several CHes. I bit the dust as soon as DB wore off. Juev and Slix got Ixy to 60% then BOOM, charm broke destroyed us both.

Attempt 1 was a fail. We lived. We learned. We moved on to attempt 2

After learning our problem. Charm break agro, we decidedly needed a 2nd pet so we recruited Sanluen on an epic mage. We did the previous buffing and added a mage pet + DS on Slixn. THIS WENT SO AWESOME! With tash/malo slow and cripple landed great. Cleric mana was on cruise control. for every CH i landed, mana was able to recover between each attempt. But tragedy struck at enrage... Slixn plowed enrage, Ixy turned on epic mage pet Jobekn who didnt last but a couple seconds. without a CH clicky I was unable to keep Jobekn alive. We wiped with 6% left.

Round #3: Did everything the same as attempt #2 except for plowing enrage. Landed sweet loot! ixy sceptre, circlet of fire and some terrible spell not worth mentioning.

super fun to trio. Would recommend to a friend. As a duo this would be pretty tough. The only thing i can think of to make a good duo is chanter/cleric (with puppet strings or a dragon tooth pet)

[S] Froglok Pickler [52 Warrior, Sebilis Disco] 9/22/2014
ughhhh, So happy I’m done in this area. What a clusterfuck. After Commander I killed another PH and continued clearing the entire Pickler room. This was so annoying, 2 krup shm or wiz spawned every time in the Pickler room and the PH was always an illis caster. Until you deal with this you dont understand how annoying it really can be. There is no real safe spot in this area so I ended up capping 3x /gating 3x/ dying 4-5x /camping 10x for the rest of the day. Eventually I did enough research to realize I only had to kill the middle spawn in the pickeler room and stopped being greedy and trying to kill the illis pather. There was a lot of rooting and mezing around corners and camping out when I got bad agro or too many resists. Anyway in the first engage there was a group on their way down and I didnt want to lose the spawn. I had been camping out invis and just killing the ph every 30mins or so. Anyway if you watch the video, everything goes wrong. I got resists on stuns mezes roots etc. I just couldnt keep it together, and at this point I had pressure from RL to stop playing. After Dying I buffed up and headed back down. Luckily most of the way was cleared by groups moving into camps at this point in the night so I made it back safely and started medding while invised. calmed the pickler room and charmed a krup knight. Pet handled pickler nicely but on the charm break I agroed the other knight in the room with a stun. Ended up just rooting him and letting him beat on my pet a pit since he was doing so well against the pickler. eventually got a calm resist on the illis and had to mez him and camp, more shitty loot.

Thanks to the Two Crew guys who were in disco 1 and rezzed 2 of my bodies after i came back in.

This was fairly pleasant. Made my way down to Chef area mostly the same mobs up as when i left last night. I only realized this morning that this guy spawns in a different room. I went past his room which I normally dont do and he was up. very straight forward. Calmed all 3 in the room slowed him and hasted pet, simple.

Got my cap recharged and headed back to Chef area. I Lulled down and checked through the walls for spawns. Froggy was up, and hes all alone. I lulled into his room and grabbed a pet and started to take him out. he was at about 20% and going down fast when I realized I had hero and Symbol from getting a rez earlier. SHITTTT. I Did not want to do this again. Anyway I clicked them off but the damage had been done. I freaked out and started mezzing and backing off the pet so I could reset. this turned into a huge mess where i agroed the mobs outside. eventaully I got eveything under control with 40% hp and 10% mana and was able to camp. But I was in froggys room….I made sure I had a bedlam before I camped which was lucky because when I came back he was still at 80% and summoned me. I got a mez off then blurred him and meded up a little. went back outside to the outer room to reset the fight. At this point I am going to count this as S because 1) I have lulled down here 10+ times without buffs and 2) when I did it this time I didnt get any crit resists so the hp buffs didnt do anything, Sue me. Anyway the fight is pretty uneventful. I did get videos of the lull down, and the chaos from trying to reset the fight as well. 1 more mob down here and its off to camp that dumb beetle.

[S] Froglok Repairer [52 Warrior, Sebilis Chef/Bar] 9/24/2014
Was clearing the 4 PHs down here Chef/Armsman/Froggy/Repairer for about 3 hours before this guy popped this morning. I had just gotten back down after getting a rez on an older corpse from a bad charm break earlier and this guy was up right in the middle. Lulled the room, and used my bok pet that I had been using all day. Straight forward no breaks, got the legs which seem to be pretty good. Beetle then Kedge probably. Might head back to HS south before doing Crypt not sure yet.

[S] Baron Yosig [55 Warrior, Sebilis Crypt] 9/25/2014
I was camping The Gangrenous Scarab by killing the PH and logging off till it respawned. Earlier I had been killing armsman PH as well but I gave up on that just didnt care about that hammer enough. Anyway Batso from Asgard I think called out that Brogg was up in ooc so I killed my ph and went down and sniped Brogg and Pickler for a sheild and seb scale coat.

I asked him if anything else was up and he told me all of crypt PH and Baron. I was a little timid and thought I would just stay farming the beetle but I got up the courage based on Tecmos story of Baron and that hes just a warrior and figured I might as well see whats up with Crypt. A couple weekends ago I was in a group down there and I made note of spawn points and pathers etc. I calmed my way to the door and tried out the gnome/probe trick but took a couple tries to figure it out. in the mean time my calms had worn off and the eye agroed a bunch of shit and I exploded. After that there was a rog chillin at NG so I got my corpse and calmed my way down and had him open the door. Calmed 2 dar knights and ivued up. I figured out my way into the actually crypt and lulled the pather. I wasnt really sure what the deal was with the Guardians. I Calmed them with a few resists and figured out where Baron was. I ended up camping out some agro at one point. I also agroed one of the guards while I was getting my pet setup. I killed it which was not really an easy task. He was casting DL on himself which i was trying to lvl 4mez. meanwhile my pet agroed a skelteon through the door. I was almost positive I was going to have to cap. eventually I got it under control and the guardian died and I camped but not before the skelly killed my pet.

Ended up using the heiro PH as a pet. Got him setup again with tash/haste/torch and calmed dazzle tash the other guardian. Malfy was down there but just watching. Sent pet on baron and got slow on the 2nd cast. I bedlam the pet once or twice just in case. I was redazzling early on the golem outside, 1) i didnt want him healing baron and 2) I was able to ToT him during the fight in case there was a lot of charm breaks. I think I only had one charm break which was pretty rough but I got it together and took him out. Shitty loot. I think i got most of the lulling and setup on video so Ill post that soon.

[S] Gangrenous Scarab [51 Warrior, Sebilis] 9/25/2014
After Killing Baron I gated out and Killed another PH in the jail. The rog that let me down into Crypt told me NG was open So i figured id farm that while killing PHs and let him leach a little exp. We cleared the 3 scarabs and then I trained us by casting on the wrong mob. Killed that stuff too and got a rez from my earlier failed attempt at probe locking picking. medded up and looked through the wall at the jail spawn. finally this fucker spawned. lulled my way back to jail with about 20m agroed some frogs and camped. Here is where I did something dumb and overconfident just because i was sick of waiting for this guy. I invised up to the 3 spawn at the scarab and calmed the 2 frogs after getting resists on the beetle a few times. with still about 20m i rooted/tashed/slow the beetle and mezed the frog i had been using for a pet. got him setup and started the fight with very little mana. had 2 or 3 charm breaks and at some points had 0 mana. I ended up agroing the other frog and having to root him off. luckily on one of the charm breaks ToT was up which gave me enough mana to keep the fight going instead of rooting and camping. Fairly easy fight which i made way harder on myself by not medding up first. at least it paid off as he dropped the staff of the waterwalker. my first loot worth 2k+ for these challenges so far. WTS!

[S] The Spectre Spiritualist [53 Monk, HS South] 9/28/2014
Headed down to HS South and saw this guy up through the wall. Pretty straight forward, setup the pather outside the trap room and lulled the rest of the room for a solo pull. Got the named rooted and slowed. I didnt haste my pet just a torch. Didnt have any charm breaks but root broke a few times and I got summoned. Not bad at all and definitely happy to get one of the HS south guys down.

[S] a Crypt Spectre [50 Shadowknight, HS South] 9/28/2014
After taking out the Spiritualist I killed another cave ph but died trying to take out the pather in that area. Had a guildy pull my corpse out through the West wing, Thanks Bubbageo! anyway made my way back down to south and ivued up to see if any of the other spawns were popped. I saw Crypt Spectre through the wall near the invis tunnel. I had duoed down here with a cleric before with little success and I knew if I died I would need to go buy some coffins. There was one see invis bile near the 2 spawn in the back by the dead end. I ended up training myself 3 or 4 times and having to gate or cap usually with about 20% hp, at one point I got dotted at the bottom of my buffs and had to use a rejuv pot. Finally I got the bile down and killed the other spawn so I had some room to work with. I used the pathing caster skelly and rooted/ mezzed him to start calming the named room. got a crit resists on the first calm and ended up aoe mezzing and gating out. I realized it was gonna be terribly annoying to have to kill these 2 mobs every time i came back down so I went for another strategy. I went into the cave hallway thing and calmed the pather. I used that as a setup spot rooted him and mezzed and calmed the room. I got a crit resist again! but only 3 mobs this time. got them aoe mezzed tashed and rooted. sent the pather pet on the named and kept aoemezzing the other two. took me a while to get the named slowed but the pet was doing pretty good even with 3 mobs beating on him. eventually the pet died with named at 20% and i petted up the other skelly and finished him off. took me about an hour to actually kill this guy so it was worth it when he dropped sash of the dragonborn.

[S] the Skeleton Sepulcher [50 Warrior, HS South] 9/28/2014
Was gonna PL a friend and decided to run through south and see if anything had popped after I last killed the named and PHs down there. None of the ones I was killing were up but I realized I never checked the spawn near the broken wall. I headed over there and of course this guy was up. thats when i noticed the pathing devourer which would see through my ivu. I agroed everything except the named luckily. so 2-3 in the room + 2 pathers. stun/mez root etc etc. i backed up against the broken wall and tried to camp. but I must have missed a root and then i had to do it all over again. I made sure i had a rune up and finally got everything rooted and mezzed and camped out. came back in and luckily the devourer was pathed away, i jumped through the cracked wall and tucked myself in to med up after invising just in case. After all that it was pretty straight forward. calmed the pather calmed the room, calmed the other pather and used the devourer as a pet. only gave him weapons and slowed the named. I started running out of mana on the 2nd charm break and needed to re calm the other pather. i made a judgment call to haste the pet at this point which worked out well. got the shitty loot and gated out. 2 more left in South and 1 more total for master

[S] Embalming Fluid [52 Warrior, HS South] 9/29/2014
Woke up early to PL a friend, after about an hour with 20mins before work I wanted to check spawns in South. went down and agroed that stupid devourer at broken wall and had to cap. Recharged real quick and checked the spot where I killed another Crypt Spectre last night. I had seen a bile up through the wall but couldnt tell if it was named or not. anyway headed down and saw that it was! sweet. Mezzed the pather in the tunnel then used bind sight and calm to lull the room. single pulled him while the other pather was away rooted/slowed and setup pet in the tunnel. pretty straight forward no charm breaks ended up hasting pet when everything was under control. WTS fingerbone hoop!

I had people around to give me advice when I was starting my soloing in HS too! Loraen mostly, but also Save and Svenn and maybe a few others. What's crazy to me is that for as many great tips I DID get from those guys, there still was a ton of other stuff that I had to figure out on my own. And I don't mean I was the first to do it, just that there's so much to learning a zone and how to solo it that never really sinks in until you get to it yourself :)

Sit definitely interrupts pet casting

maurilax

it def works, see the right side where it says soandso casting interupted. maybe only charmed pets? is there any other casting kind of pet?

it def works, see the right side where it says soandso casting interupted. maybe only charmed pets? is there any other casting kind of pet?

Mage fire pets and several additions to live later on.

I see that it works im just skeptical that it should. Seeing as how in classic duck shouldn't even immediately interrupt a spell. I would be very surprised to find out you could immediately interrupt a pets cast by spamming sit back then.

Hell, infact, PCs could sit while casting spells, so long as they are standing when the spell finished, it would cast. You'd think pets would follow the same rule for casting. IE sit shouldn't immediately interrupt.

But finding evidence on such an obscure/rare topic isn't really that feasible, nor does its changing impact gameplay much.

Yumyums Inmahtumtums

09-29-2014, 04:32 PM

It probably worked but only if you had the /pet window available to you which was not in quite yet.

Didn't commands work like hot keys in that they would be delayed by spell casting and other such nonsense? I'm pretty sure pets worked the same. The limiting factor being your ability to do the ability during casting (or in this case while your pet casts).

Anywho, inc rage-inducing Daldaen mega-nerf

*edit* sorry, by clicking the original button the command would be executed, however, using a hot key would prompt the "this skill is not available" or something.

iruinedyourday

09-29-2014, 04:33 PM

But it's probably impossible to prove... it's such a rare case (chanter charming a Caster or someone actually using a fire pet)

heh yea, back in live this era, most enchanters were like, "charming pets is crazy and not worth it and nobody should ever do it cus its insane and I'm too much of a coward to try it ever"

I mean we were all pretty bad at eq in that era heh.

It does seem suspicious but most of the exploits that make us super 7337 at eq now are also suspicious.

Lets just put it this way, if they knew about it back then they would have stopped it, but since nobody was really doing this type of enchanting for the most part I'd wager if it worked like this in classic, the devs didnt know about it either.

On a side note speaking of classic not classic, you know what classic thing I wish we added to p99 - when that jerk camps out without leaving group and then you have to reform group to remove the permanently bugged always out of zone group member that's no longer online ;)

It wasn't just enchs afraid of charm either--I remember most groups getting upset if you charmed something while grouped. I remember clerics getting so mad they would refuse to heal me.

Charm soloing was harder back in 2000 though, partly because it was new, but also due to lag. You just couldn't depend on the very touchy timings and reflexes that are possible today. Today I can position myself 12 units of distance from my pet and land a root at acharm break before he closesthe distance. Then I can recharm and dispel root and send him back in all in one quick motion and without tye need ror rune, stun, or getting hit.

This was just impossible back on the old internet with my 3dfx card. Imagine all your abilities being about 500ms more unreliable and these feats of extreme enchanting look a lot less possible.

Necros managed it, but ench has less room for error.

I was still learning the ropes of the HS South cubby area so I decided to play it safe and clear out the other two mobs in preparation for the PH spawn. This backfired, and due to an unlucky few charm breaks I had less than 40% hp and a weak rune when the named spawned. I engaged anyways, and everything was going smoothly:

But charm breaks happen at the worst times, and to make matters worse I accidentally cast single target mez on my former pet instead of AE mez. Fortunately I was able to channel out an AE mez in the nick of time:

All I had left to do was recharm pet, reroot the named, and pray both held until I was able to recast bedlam and rune. Fortunately they did, and I was rewarded with (not so) phat loots:

Not gonna post updates of the rest of the HS South named since they all went much more smoothly, though killshots are in the checklist thread if anyone is interested.

I've been trying to solo as much of the enchanter epic as I can. I had a feeling that Cazel was soloable, so I did some testing and found that the level 45 gypsy merchant with WR and torch could just about keep up with his regen. Fortunately I found a friend for her:

http://i.imgur.com/WxN7xP5.png

Rooted, hasted, and torched both, then I charmed Cazel and introduced him to the two lovely ladies. The plan was coming together:

I manually broke charm when Cazel was at 3%, but my root on him had already faded so he began to run away. Fortunately I was able to root him while he was still in melee range of one of the merchants, who I immediately charmed and sent on him. Then it was simply a matter of nuking him down as fast as I could:

[S] The Crypt Feaster [52 Warrior, HS South] 10/01/2014
Went down into South this morning with a Guildie. There was an A-Team shaman killing phs while I was down there the night before and both of his spawns were named this morning (and his corpse was there :( ) The cave named was the 53 monk guy. So Necran and I took him out real quick. Then he FD and afked while I calmed the trap room and killed the Feaster. Really pretty straight forward. Cast Sight/calm etc etc used the pather as a pet and took him out easy. got a blood point out of it. We ended up staying for another hour or so and got a bunch more spawns including another hoop and the feaster rng aoe dagger.

Done with South. Back to Crypt and maybe a stop off in Kedge

[S] The tangrin [54 Warrior, Field of Bone]

Today started pretty poorly with two failures to solo Harbinger Frelgor in Seb, but the end of the day made up for it.

Late Tuesday night I checked the tangrin and saw that he was up and attempted to come up with a strategy to take him out. An hour and a half later, I had died three times and the tangrin had been taken down by the cabilis guards, leaving no body behind. At least I knew when he was going to respawn!

The tricks to the tangrin fight are 1) not getting hit by monkey stun, 2) making sure you get credit for the kill. This is much easier said than done, but I came up with a strategy that seemed about as foolproof as it could get with the spells I have (i.e. not Dictate). If I had dictate my strategy would have been a bit different, but I digress.

Once verifying that the tangrin was up, I put my plan into action. The weakest part of the plan was that charm had to hold for at least 2 minutes at the beginning of the fight, but I wasn't unlucky and it held as long as I needed.

http://i.imgur.com/u1rluJv.png (http://imgur.com/u1rluJv)

Once that was done, I was able to relax and enjoy the show. My money is on the small lizard thing:

Once tangrin was low, I decided to step into the ring myself for the killsteal.

[S] a Howling Spectre [54 Monk, HS East]

After killing the tangrin I tried Sebilis again, but it was still camped. I didn't have time to camp fire giants and now that I've finished every HS South named, the only option left to me was to give HS East a try. My first exploratory probe in the hallways leading from south to east showed me that a Howling Spectre was up, but my first attempt on him was a failure and I had to hat out. I recharged my hat and headed back in. Fortunately I was lucky with lulls to make it back in, as a single critical failure would have probably forced me to hat out again.

I calmed the roamer that was too high to Allure, then opened with an AE mez on the other roamer and the named to start off the fight:

http://i.imgur.com/1RStOkO.png

Notice the slow resist. That was a constant theme throughout the fight...it took four casts for the first slow to stick and another two for the second one.

Turns out I had mezzed the named too close to the far room and, one by one, his friends began showing up, and me with about 20% mana, I was praying that charm would hold. Here I am as the named is getting low, and you can see me juggling three extra mobs on top of my pet and the named:

http://i.imgur.com/eaH3sqa.png

1% left, praying that charm would continue to hold. If charm had broken here I couldn't have recovered with as little mana I had, and I would have been forced to hat out.

http://i.imgur.com/N3WxjGZ.png

Fortunately my pet stayed loyal long enough to finish off the mob and allow me to loot + gate:

http://i.imgur.com/LdO805N.png

Blood has been spilled in HS East! The kill itself was easier than I expected, but I had a lot of good luck on my side. Hopefully this good luck holds as I try to finish off the rest of HS East.

[S] Arch Duke Iatol [55 Shadowknight, Sebilis Crypt]

After a couple rounds of killing phs in crypt, Duke spawned, wielding nothing.

Attempt 1: Charm break, used slant + AE mez, pet was dotted so broke mez, killed me before I could hat. Ran all the way from Seb zonein to Cabilis (almost dying along the way to see-invis frogloks in TT), grabbed my spare stalking probe, gated back, and lulled my way down to crypt. Died at crypt door; didn't think the two frogs would aggro the probe. Rebuffed, zoned back in, and lulled my way down once more and made it through the door just to have a crit lull resist on the first pack. Was able to AE mez, but was low HP so I decided to make a run for it after rooting the mobs. Got aggro from the dar roamer + one friend he decided to bring with him, channeled another AE mez + roots, invised into safe spot in crypt and logged off, with a Fetter break with 5 seconds left.

I logged back in, grabbed my corpse, buffed up and prepped for attempt #2

Attempt 2: Decided not to haste the pet (harbinger ph) so that I could handle charm breaks better. Stun resist on charm break ended with me eating a dot before I could regain control, then a second charm break forced me to hat out with 10% hp left. Fortunately there were two druids at the WC rings, so naturally I pleaded for a heal. The first druid, Shaston from Taken, started casting a heal, then ducked to interrupt it and sat down. Thanks buddy! Fortunately the other one, Shabuffya, wasn't a sociopath so she hit me with a heal when I was at 1% and I was able to survive. I recharged my hat, gated back to Seb, and lulled my way back down again.

Attempt 3:

http://i.imgur.com/5KBfJsC.png

Third time's the charm. Allure held throughout the fight, but I'm confident I could have handled a break just fine.

Solo master!

Good work! Necro mobs are no joke when they are high enough to resist stuns, and HS is no cakewalk without invis pulls. Imo there is an eaiser way to handle HS named kills than in the spot you are using though, thanks to the way assist aggro works ;)

10-04-2014, 07:43 AM

After soloing all of HS North and all of West a couple times, I've been trying South wing when it's not camped (which is rarely i'm finding!). As Tecmos said, even though there's a lot of help going around, there is still a huge learning curve. First thing I've found is when there's a see invis mob (usually a bile or two, or three) up between dropoff and the cave cubby, you can ivu to edge of painting, target mobs, use shifting sight as needed and one by one lull the see invis mobs so you can run though. Another thing I've learned the hard way is to keep 1 or 2 stalking probes in the bank so you dont have to rely on a necro or rog to get back to your corpse that's stuck in south wing!

First time in cubby Crypt Feaster was up. I lulled the roamer and the first cubby mob, then charmed pet (which of course aggroed Feaster), ran back to get away from the pather that was coming back, rooted Feaster and he went down easily. 1 or 2 summons maybe and no charm breaks. Bloodpoint.

Second time, Embalming Fluid was up so i tried same strat (lull pather, lull 1 of the cave mobs, charm pet, run back to spot and root). But this time, the fucking Fluid is so massive that i didnt pull it back far enough, roamer added, charm broke, summoned, dead. Ouch...had to CR and log for the night.

Third time, PH was up so i lulled pather, lulled 1 cave mob, charmed a sperm which aggroed the PH (sepulcher). I knew I would take the HT here, so that was no surprise, I ran my pet and PH back to my spot, rooted sepulcher, bedlamed, runed back up. But the sepulcher kept breaking fetter and summoned me 2 or 3 times, each time requiring me to re-bedlam. So mana was getting low and i was about 50% HP. Finally got it under control, he was going down (SLOWLY), and root and charm broke at the same time. I slanted, recharmed with Boltrans, and while trying to re-root sepulcher i caught another HT and couldn't cap out in time.

I'm gathering that (some?) sepulchers break fetter more frequently than others? Maybe I should have charmed PH (sepulcher) instead and let him and sperm fight it out. Also I'm trying to learn what's best when you get summoned + charm break at the same time (seems to happen regularly for me). I've been slanting, boltrans, then trying to root while getting beat on. Need to try something different...

On charming, I know a lot use Allure and surely that's better than what I've been doing since it has a much lower mana cost than Boltrans. The only reason I typically use Boltrans is that you can Slant and re-charm without getting hit. I think I need to working Allure into my strat.

10-04-2014, 03:11 PM

Summon + charm break happens at the same time because your former pet is no longer on the mob's aggro list, so you instantly become the highest aggro target and if you are out of melee range you will be summoned. I actually take being summoned as a great indicator that charm broke. If you keep the mob you're trying to kill rooted you will never be summoned by the mob you're killing unless your pet's charm breaks.

Best way to deal with it I've found is to immediately stun + AE mez then recover from there. This only works if your pet doesn't have a dot on it...the best way in that scenario is to use color slant + clicky + allure on your pet, and it's much less reliable this way. There is definitely time to slant + allure if you use a clicky to reset global time and start casting allure immediately. I've had to do that several times.

maurilax

10-04-2014, 04:40 PM

In most cases as stated qbove youll want to stun then ae mez. If you get a stun resist use clicky then the other stun you should have loaded. I only use boltrans when I know my pet is dotted and 51+ or the target is dotted.

For hs I keep a key corpse at the drop in which lasts 7 days and another with a probe just in case. Also if you die near the broken wall before the cubb you can pull corpse through the door. Lastly if there is a group in west and you die in the cave you can be pulled out through the area where the boss key is in west.

Dying in the tunel near the zone out is necro summon if you dont have a backup key/probe

Im curious what tecmos is referring to with assist agro?

10-04-2014, 07:49 PM

Allure is a great way to find a manageable 49-51 pet. If the mob resists it, its higher and will break a lot more frequently. Saves 150 mana or so per cast I believe. And yeah always AE mez after slant imo.

Hopefully I get another shot at her sometime soon, but of course I'll have to redevelop a strategy because the nearby mobs will be different levels. Maybe I'll get lucky and the pather outside her room will be level 50!

Once upon a time in a classic era, EQ related forum there was mention of a lunatic chanter or necro that charmed an ashenbone drake and used it to kill Maestro. Does that sound feasible or was it complete hogwash? Just curious what the soloists who frequent this thread might have to say.

Daldaen

10-09-2014, 01:36 PM

Ashenbone drakes are pretty damn resistant if memory serves.

That would be a baller solo kill though. I think as a druid I may be able to pull it off with puppet strings and a SoulFire charge or two. Would need a path to maestro cleared and with his organ area full spawn.

Would love to try it some time though.

[S] blood of chottal [55 Monk, Sebilis Crypt] 10/15/2014
Been afk mostly with RL. I have been checking Crypt pretty much every morning and at least hierophant is always camped by a shaman or some European group. Anyway there was a group of 3 killing the 4 phs so I went down to check on Blood. He was up holding a Cone. I killed the roamers against each other and then cleared out everything else except for 1 mob outside the door. I used cast sight to target the roamer in Bloods room and tried to calm him. Got a crit resists and charm break at the same time and all ended up having to cap out at 7% hp :(. Recharged and gated back. healed and buffed up and went back down. basically the same strat. Charm broke again right away and by the time i finally got control blood had chewed through 60% of my hp. I hung in there and got runes back up and re petted. Pet lasted the whole fight but was getting eaten before i could land slow. I ended up having to rune and bedlam the pet a few times. looted the cone and camped then ran back to the safe spot in crypt.

As a side note I tried Emp last week and got him pulled solo with his pet. Then I got dotted and exploded. Emp hits hard! sk/shm at crypt helped me CR but it took a while. def gonna hold off on Emp again till I have a better strat and my necro is lvl 39.

Most of the video is calming, clearing trash etc

Yea last I checked rats didn't dual wield or take weapons. Can't remember if I've tried to torch them or not though...

But to solo him you'd really need a DWing + hasted pet. I supposed a BP cleric with full strings could probably do it too.

Yea so long as you can BP a pet and you don't burn your 10 charges before he dies, pretty easy.

Most of the solo artist challenges done with strings (or charm in general), just come down to how many breaks you get. Otherwise a hasted or even just torched pet can trash most named. Even without a slow or much assistance.

Under ideal conditions I'd like to try a solo Ragefire. But my last foray with Ragefire taught me that people on this server love their petition quest and will attempt to jump in and steal your Ragefire even before you engage or your 20 min are up :(. Sad pandas.

Finally got Crypt to myself this morning. Baron was up, who I have already got but collected a Tolans helm using the heiro ph. then killed off the hiero ph against a guardian. cleared the other phs using the dar knight pather, and suicided him after. next round caretaker spawned. I just killed the harb ph with the duke ph. I reset duke ph and used it to take down the caretaker, pretty easy a couple charm breaks. I kept the guardian mezzed the whole time to ToT and keep him from healing. Hopefully I can get some more named popped before work.

Might as well make the last kill pretty dramatic after spending all this time in Crypt. I was just killing Hiero and Duke phs after having some trouble trying to suicide duke ph on a golem (bad idea) i finally got regrouped and took the ph down. next cycle he spawned. I was FM and ready to go. I mezzed the golem on that side as always and setup the dar pather. I loaded a 3rd stun the same way I did with Hiero. I guess I got really unlucky but I ended up getting 2 charm breaks and on the first one I forgot I was going to need to have Boltrans up because of the dots on pet. You can see at 2:45 im trying to mem boltrans while hasted pet is beating on me. after getting pet recharmed i got summoned and bashed then got a root resist. on the next pet break at about 30% hp on named, duke resisted a stun and I was in the middle of swapping spells so pet beat me up some more. then I kept getting summoned, ended up with blood boil on me which i never realized. looted up and camped with 7% hp and very little mana. Ended up dying when I came back into the dot cause I didnt see it. Not sure whats next, Probably will keep an eye on Kedge but work on Efreeti during the week.

[S] Efreeti Lord Djarn [50 Wizard, Nagafen's Lair] 10/22/2014
Welllll sheeeeit, this was a really fun and frustrating experience. I busted out a map and made my way to efreeti, not realizing invis didnt work and then calming blurring and agroing my way there. I finally made it and cleared the spawn for 6phs before i had to go to work with no pop. I camped in the room behind the wall thinking there would only be 1 roamer and found out there was 2 ;). I logged in and cleared the camp and Ph and spread it out a bit. During a cc while I was clearing a group called freeti, and i was like wtf! anyway i stayed there for a few more phs and finally he popped. I knew that group was close by so if i failed they would take it. For some reason this made me rush and i sent in pet at 80% with no real strategy. anyway the pet died, i learned its really fucking hard to slow this guy and hes not mezzable. great. I capped out and the group killed him.

killed 1 or 2 more phs then called it quits. This morning i logged in and killed the ph and Freeti popped! While I was still clearing the two pathers I somehow agroed 3 mobs outside and they backstabbed me, i got the situation under control with 10% hp and should have just gated. i tried to be the hero and charm broke and I died. I then tried to calm my way back up with no gear and created 5 corpses and lost 60. that was a lot of fun. My guildie Ralanov came and helped me drag all the corpses back to the entrance and I rezzed and buffed up. Ralanov helped calm our way to the big lava outside efreeti and I took over and started calming to clear outside the room, I got a crit resist on the first one and ended up having to clear everything.

In the end that probably helped out with the fight later as everything was still down when i finally got efreeti. Anyway Ralanov was there still but just filming and taking screenshots ;). I petted up the pather in the room when it came out torch and sos. I calmed to 2 guards which was the scariest part. with 3 mins on calm i started figuring out my strat. after a charm break and at 60% mana I didnt want to risk calming the guards again so I bedlam and runed the pet and face pulled efreeti. after getting my self rebedlamed after he nuked me and hit me a few times i finally got the pet on him. I didnt bother trying to slow or root after the first root broke in 1 tick. I loaded up boltran in case of a charm break and just kept rune and bedlaming the pet. I got a ToT on efreeti which prob saved the day and kept me and pet runed. pet was winning and doing a good job until efreeti decided not to run for some reason at 20%....that last 15% felt like it took forever. you can see in the video I was duck casting boltrans in case of a charm break. but in the end he went down and i got some boots for an alt. Glad its over, glad i did it cause I had never killed this guy before. Def not coming back without a cleric ;)

Sounds like you were making efreeti harder than it needs to be. Hasted/torched imp will win a straight up manfight vs efreeti as long as you use stuns to try and interrupt efreeti's casts. Most of the stuns will get resisted, but even one or two interrupts buys you plenty of time to burn through his fairly low hp.

Classic confirmation pending.

I'm skeptical non-aggro/LoS friendlies in a close radius would prevent fleeing.

I assume the same manner as mobs that heal through walls without adding to agro and such.

This is classic. Mobs heal but don't assist. Think there are some comments about CHing mobs through walls in like Kedge and such.

Nah what allows this generally speaking is pulling a big pack and the final one always runs. Which you then ensnare and let your noobling skill up their offensives while its in flee mode.

Atleast, where I pull, they still flee. As is intended.

Right, but that same mechanic that stops all the mobs you pulled from fleeing is the same one that keeps a single mob from fleeing if there are un-aggroed mobs nearby. The mechanic doesn't care if a mob is aggro or not, just that it's within a certain distance.

It wasn't like that on this server until a few months ago - non-undead mobs would flee at low life even if 10 of their buddies were beating on you too. That's why PLing in Befallen/Unrest/Kurns was preferred.

Agreed. Same mechanic and it wasn't like that months ago. Because it wasn't classic back then.

My point is that what we have is *near* classic, but I believe that the check to not flee should occur only when the nearby mob is aggroed or line of sight. Something on the other side of a wall or on a floor above shouldn't prevent fleeing because they are XX feet from the mob. I'd think there would be some comments about specific camps that are tight together that would mention this sort of behavior if it existed.

Atleast that's my assumption.

I'm fairly certain the CORRECT mechanic is the mobs either have to also be attacking you, or be really-really close (without necessarily being agro'd, like so close they should agro you but they're pacified and haven't) to prevent a mob from running.

As it is now mobs that are relatively close (but still out of assist range) prevent a mob from running, which is not correct. Snare was super duper important in dungeons because pretty much every single pull would start running and then agro the things right around the corner. Here you'd have to already have a substantial area cleared before a mob will start to flee.

Yeah it seems counter-intuitive if I was a mob that I wouldn't flee if I knew there was some buddies around the corner and I was all alone.

Good stuff. I remember on live as a Cleric having to Pacify the living hell out of what seemed like a million mobs to keep them from running and agroing. Not the same to me on here as I recall on live. Maybe it was that we were not as good at the game as we are now??

Its been a while!

[S] Estrella of Gloomwater [51 Druid, Kedge] 11/02/2014
Holy crap this was annoying in so many respects. first of all shes a 3day spawn, which is terrible. 2nd there are always druids in kedge keep killing everyfucking thing so even when she was up she was dead instantly. I got the line on the timer from one of those druids. came back three days later and someone was already killing her at 7am.

so here we are another 3 days later and the clocks are ahead. good thing I didn't set mine back cause I would have missed her. anyway I check my 29 druid sitting at the entrance and shes not up. Im freshly rezzed in sky so i jump down and start buffing up. got a port from a guildie and i'm all ready to go when i zone in. luckily no one is here. i Head over to her spot and almost ran into her. I med the rest of the way up and calm the 2 mermaids in the upstairs room and the 4 below. I figure i'll charm the roaming mermaid and keep her behind the wall. no dice, she dispels every charm, i try and gate and i'm dead.

I revise my strat based on some of the other threads and go with the animation I haven't used in a longgg time. I calm everything again including the roamer and pull with tash and mez her. I end up mezzing the roamer too, i summon a pet and haste it and slow estrella and then start dispelling her. somehow i got to mez before that damn dmg shield. anyway i get her over in a corner behind a wall and let pet go to work. I think he did 11% before getting blown up. I got summoned and mezzed her again while keeping the roamer mezzed. summon another pet haste up and repeat. in between i re-bedlam and get some ToT on the roamer to keep up the mana flow. eventually get her down to 30% after 3 or 4 pets. shes getting some heals through the walls which kind of sucks so i start stunning and tanking a bit as im starting to run out of daggers. two more pets and shes finally dead.

I was pretty close to oom but got a good ToT near the end to keep it up. shitty loot, but lvl 29 druid got the rod of drones ;)

in retrospect its a good thing i died on the first attempt cause i forgot to start video recording. while checking her spawns I beat dark souls 2 and also learned the rat guys area in the hole. So ill be heading there next and then its on to the big boys. Really happy to have this one out of the way and no - or *!

I've been through every page on this forum now and I haven't seen many shamans (without puppet strings). Is a lot of this just too difficult without being able to Lull/CC adds effectively? Pretty much the only class I've seen posting the higher tier stuff has been enchanters and that's it.

[S] Slizik the Mighty [54 Warrior, The Hole] 11/06/2014
Not quite as annoying as Estrella but still seriously lame piece of shit. First I started off just checking every once in a while by calming the the guards near the door to the castle and invising in the jail. I would check every morning and then after repops etc. It was pretty clear that no one was killing this shit though so I had to do the dirty work. I started by clearing the rats that wandered pulling them out one at a time using a Rock golem. He could get through 3 or 4 with haste before I had to heal him up. got a timer on the ph. The biggest issue here is that with a 20min respawn i couldnt keep all the roamers down and heal up the pet and have enough mana in case the Slizik spawned. I changed up my strategy and just agroed 2 or 3 rats at a time and sucicided them until i could calm to the ph, then I would suicide the ph. It took a little longer than keeping everything clear but at least I could afk in between after medding up. anyway after a ph kill i went to the store and invised up and Slizik was standing there with a doll in his hand. good thing i handed off my idol to a buddy earlier in the morning.

I started by suiciding the roaming rats. at one point my pet warped through the wall and agroed a bunch of shit and i ended up having to cap out and restart. medded up and invised/calmed back down to jail and suicided more rats. with only the last roamer up i petted up the rock golem who I had already torched and killed the last one. I blurred the pet medded up as much as i could and calmed the 3 static spawns between me and Slizik tashed him and ran back to my rooted golem on the steps. I got Slizik rooted and slowed and then charm broke. I already knew I couldn't mez or stun him but i was getting beaten on pretty good. Luckily i had forgot to haste the golem so i ended up being able to get him recharmed inbewteen summons and get bedlam and rune back up with about 20% mana left. Charm held the first of the fight though I had to keep re rooting so i could med up. I had enough mana for 1 boltrans and a bedlam if charm had broken again or i would have ended up having to cap. in the end pet was pushing him through the wall and i was getting pretty scared. I tried backing him off but it didnt work. luckily charm held, he didnt warp and i got my replacement idol. In the end one of the hardest parts about dealing with this area was the roamers, there weird MR that some of the mobs have and the lack of casters to ToT.

Everything through solo master is now [S], I will prob work on the reaver and the move into HS east. Ideally I can get through the rest of the list and a god kill before velious ;)

[S] King Tranix [52 Shadowknight, Nagafen's Lair] 11/25/2014
These Kills are kind of lame to be honest. BDA had the spawn timer for Tranix and Yeshi let me know he was going to pop soon. he ended up pulling me an Imp and I kept it rooted for a while and set it up in the safe hallway. When tranix popped I pulled with Tash and slowed him. Eventually I stopped being dumb and turned him so pet could backstab. Most of the fight was split between re rune and bedlaming myself and dispelling dots. Really not that hard.

I know it seems like I had help here which I did. After talking with Lorean and reading Tecmos version of these encounters it seems like this should suffice for a Solo kill. The mobs are just so perma camped, and all the guards are always down. These seem like more a checkbox kill than anything else. Probably shouldn't be in this tier anymore as things have changed a bit. Oh well I don't think anyone cares anyway and the real test in this tier is going to be HS East and Dartain.

There were some BDA there, mostly FD and cheering me on but no one helped or casted.
Thanks for the support dudes.

Velious Solo Artist may be intriguing but...

All of the selected mobs just favor classes who can slow and charm.

Need more Magic Immune mobs and mobs who don't summon.

But more intriguing than solo mobs, is breaking rooms solo. As mentioned above. Tranix solo is a joke. Breaking his room with 3 FGs and him is good funs though.

Tranix solo is a joke. Breaking his room with 3 FGs and him is good funs though.

If you read through the thread you will see why. Originally, the fire giants were unrootable. I had a whole bunch of cool ideas on how I was going to solo tranix by sending in a LDC, calming his guards while they were beating on me, and camping out/memblurring and I think a few other ones (this was before I had puppet strings IIRC). Then I found out about invis pulls; everyone was just singling his guards NP because they saw invis and Tranix did not. Then the giants became rootable anyway and I was like w/e. There is no question the various mechanics changes have substantially impacted the challenge.

Also, I checked and this is now the 2nd most read thread in server chat, behind the "who googled classic everquest first" thread aka the "server firsts" thread.

The level 52 Druid Charm Spell, and the level 53 Spell Glamour of Tunare make a Druid pretty damn good at charming Animals. Granted not a lot in Dungeons but they are not as Gimped as you would think solo then. :p

And they get another Charm spell at 54. So not all Gloom and Doom.

[S] Reanimated Plaguebone [54 Warrior, HS East] 12/23/2014

Well it has been quite a while. Been working on PLing some alts and cleaning up quest items and stuff for Velious. Even tried a couple nights of Red which was fun and something I will probably get back to soon.

Anyway, My first real excursion into east and barely at that. A couple months ago when I was doing south a lot I took a tour through east after getting the key one day. I made it all the way to the 4 golems outside Drusellas room and then had to cap out. So I kind of knew what to expect. Over the weekend Optic gave me an east key while I was chilling in the cubby in south. There was 2 living mobs in the room before the zone out/fake wall so I calmed those and went through. 1 living pather before the first 3 spawn, I did happen to use bind sight up to the nook to see Reanimated plaguebone up. I obviously didnt know there was a pather there and ended up having to cap out, great. next time down had to gate on a critical resist on the mob over the painting. next time critical resist on the mob in the last named room in south, and so it goes.

Went back down this morning and some of the living mobs were cleaned up, still had one on this side of the painting and one in the East key room. got down to the tunnel, crit resist on the bile in the key room and gate. 2nd time though I was able to grab a key and get back into east. Finally. I was not that worried that someone had killed the RP since he didnt have the shovel and all the same mobs after the east fake wall were there. I got back to the 4 spawn before the nook where the RP was and calmed the pathing caster skelly who had to be 52+ since I couldnt use allure on him that first day. there was a devourer in the 4pack which had caused me a cap charge the day before. got my cap finger ready and calmed him from around the corner and it stuck first shot. ivued up into the nook and realized I had no plan. I memed rapture (just watched the video, couldnt find the spell for like 30seconds hah) and mezzed the named. got him tashed and slowed while the 2 pathers were away. i tucked myself in the corner nice and tight so when the other pather came back he didnt agro. next time back i mezzed the pather tashed rooted and charmed. I made a few mistakes here clicking and mezzing the wrong shit etc etc but I was freaking out a little. would have been really annoying to die here. anyway I got my pet on the named and mezzed the other pather. got him dazzled and gave a torch and haste to the pet. got my runes back up and then charm broke. got the pet mezzed and recharmed but RP resisted so I had to tank a couple rounds. Was so bad with forlorn deeds. charm broke again while the pet was still mezzed so i stunned and recharmed and finally got him back on the named. had to redazzle the other pather at some point but the hasted 51 pet destroyed the slowed 54 named. memed gate and gtfo.

I really hope this isnt the place I have to fight the rest of the named. its super tight and sketchy and I hate going through south if I dont have to.

Gonna see if I can find somewhere else thats easier to get to through the east door. Might pop over and try a reaver still before going back.

[S] a Howling Spectre [54 Monk, HS East] 12/23/2014

Well right after I finished writing the last one up I went to check on the pop in that area and maybe clear out one of the living mobs. made it down way easier this time just calming the one living mob on the south painting and ivuing straight to the fake wall in the port out room in east. got back to the nook area and saw Howling Spectre through the wall. got my buffs good and made my way into the nook. had a couple scary non crit calm resists on the living mob in the 4 spawn but made it over safely. for some reason he didnt path all the way into the nook but i got impatient and raptured him anyway. ended up agroing both pathers and getting a shit ton of mez resists even with all three mobs being tashed and had to cap.

2nd time got to Howling Spectre got him raptured agroed the other 2 guys kept getting resists on aoe mez, didnt look at timer when i finally had them mezzed, cap when in a bag. dead. figuring out how to get the corpse was fun. Ended up getting a necro summon even though i made it all the way back i was just out of reach of my corpse and he logged in. had a coffin on my friends cleric got summoned and he rezzed me.

3rd time Got rezzed up and medded up back past the fake wall in the port out room in south. this time I had a key corpse with east key and an eye to get into south. I also know where not to die if im going to again. calmed the living mob and moved into the nook. this time i tried to dazzle instead of rapture the spectre which was a huge mistake, he resisted both stuns even with a tash and the mez ended up agroing all 3 and capping

4th time
ive gotten it down to where i can get to the nook in less than 5mins now, only requires the calm at the painting calm right on the other side of the fake wall then calm at the nook. moved into the nook and raptured Howling Spectre while the other 2 were away. got him tashed and dazzled and slowed before they came back. dazzled the pather that goes to the room and agroed the mob I was using as a pet, mezed him and rooted him and named and charmed/hasted him up. keep the other pather dazzled the whole time and used him to ToT. had one charm break that I got under control with a stun + mez + boltrans (i wasnt sure if anything was dotted) got some runes back up and didnt even have time to reslow before pet raped him….didnt think loot was gonna be any good but got a bedlam for the trouble. I really hope another named doesnt pop here I am sick of it already!

My only problem with the new, stronger, NPCs is that I feel the solo artist challenge is a bit more "I better hope this rapetrain pet does its thing, because if it breaks I'm going to get destroyed".

Also for the Undertaker Lord I just suggest ignoring him. You can recharm with 6s stun/clicky/boltrans; it isn't like he is going to destroy you while slowed in that period. He's just pretty resisty as befits a L56 mob. I think he used to be the hardest mob on the GM tier before Dartain got buffed to fuck.

I've never consciously tried to work on this listing but have gradually accomplished modest amounts of it just during the normal course of Everquest'ing. My relevant character is a 60 Shadow Knight; mostly I duo with the wife (60 Shaman). We've been 60 on these characters for two years or so, now. I'm not going to bother posting screenshots since we've done nothing particularly interesting, but maybe our experience can serve as a "control" example of what ordinary no-name folks with no super-clickies or puppet strings and just mediocre gear (my SK wields a Noct blade) might accomplish during routine gameplay.

Skipping the first couple tiers for brevity.
-----------------------------------------

Solo Master/Duo Disciple: any 8 including at least one each from HS South and Sebilis Crypt
[D] Froglok Commander [55 Warrior, Sebilis Disco]
[ ] Brogg [55 Warrior, Sebilis Disco]
[D] Baron Yosig [55 Warrior, Sebilis Crypt]
[D] Arch Duke Iatol [55 Shadowknight, Sebilis Crypt]
[D] blood of chottal [55 Monk, Sebilis Crypt]
[D] Harbinger Freglor [55 Necromancer, Sebilis Crypt]
[D] Hierophant Prime Grekal [55 Shaman, Sebilis Crypt]
[D] the Skeleton Sepulcher [50 Warrior, HS South]
[ ] a Crypt Spectre [50 Shadowknight, HS South]
[D] Efreeti Lord Djarn [50 Wizard, Nagafen's Lair]
[D] Slizik the Mighty [54 Warrior, The Hole]
[ ] Skeletal Procurator [52 Shadowknight, HS West]
[ ] The Crypt Feaster [52 Warrior, HS South]
[ ] Embalming Fluid [52 Warrior, HS South]
[ ] The Spectre Spiritualist [53 Monk, HS South]

As a general rule the clears to a given named are far more difficult than the named themselves. The other hard part is finding this stuff open and available; since the wife and I mostly log on during EST primetime and don't have the time to wait around for camps to come free, we just don't get many opportunities for places like Sebilis Crypt. HS south and east is a little more open but the serious nuisance from death causes us not to particularly want to go there. I think we also killed some minor named bitey-thing in HS south but can't remember it dropping anything so maybe not.

Solo Grandmaster/Duo Master: any 6 including one L56+ and one from HS East
[D] King Tranix [52 Shadowknight, Nagafen's Lair]
[D] Magi Rokyll [52 Wizard, Nagafen's Lair]
[D] Warlord Skarlon [53 Warrior, Nagafen's Lair]
[D] A Black Reaver [51 Warrior, City of Mist]
[D] A cliff golem [58 Warrior, The Overthere]
[ ] The Crypt Excavator [54 Warrior, HS East]
[D?] Reanimated Plaguebone [54 Warrior, HS East]
[ ] Mortiferous Protector [54 Warrior, HS East]
[ ] a Howling Spectre [54 Monk, HS East]
[ ] Drusella Sathir [55 Necromancer, HS East]
[ ] The Undertaker Lord [56 Shadowknight, HS East]
[ ] Dartain the Lost [55 Necromancer, The Hole]

Reanimated Plaguebone gets a ? because I'm not positive he's the one we killed; I remember killing a single named skeleton in HS east a long time ago that dropped some insultingly terrible ring so I think it was him. We haven't been back to East since. As with the previous tier, it's exceedingly rare to even get the opportunity to do the named fire giants or such since that area's always camped. I've never even seen Dartain the Lost up, much less ever fought him.

We haven't duo'd any of the Duo Grandmaster level, although we've trio'd the two in City of Mist. Most the rest are either always camped or just not realistic for us. The Godmode tier, as appropriate for the name, is far beyond the capabilities of us mere mortals.

Also just wanted to keep the thread bumped. I like reading how far folks can push the limits of what's possible.
