Kedge - Shaman 56+ solo?
 

How is kedge as a solo spot? You don't hear too much about it, but I was just looking for some old-world alternatives to Sol B.

Decently geared, no fungi but I do have epic + jbb.

I wouldn't bother. Better off root rotting in perma bear pits or even a bit deeper into the hole. Kedge used to be incredible xp before the nerf, now I just don't think you could kill seahorses/mermaids efficient enough to make it worthwhile on shaman. You'd be dealing with potential 2+ adds that cast, cheal, dispell, etc. It's more of a druid/enc charm zone IMO.

Perhaps also maybe 2nd/3rd floor CoM if youre open to some kunark options and are not already sick of it?

I didn't realize Kedge exp had been nerfed?

Kedge was great for my Shaman for one thing: AFK camping treasure chests.

There's a A ferocious hammerhead there who is stupid rare, and who drops a heavy (10 stone I think) 100% weight reduction Driftwood Treasure Chest. The chest is also stupid rare.

These chests tend to be great for us Shaman because (especially with buffs) we should always have enough strength to carry six of them, so for us they're as good as tink bags.

You can solo the shark (I'm pretty sure you can do him at 56) if you wait for him in the room he spawns, but I wasn't kidding about "stupid rare": I recorded some numbers and between the rarity of the ferocious shark and the rarity of him dropping the chest, it takes something like a hundred sharks (with a 22 min respawn break between each one) for one chest.

But if you set a timer for his respawn time and AFK in-between then eventually you'll get a chest (or chests), so it's a great AFK camp.

P.S. This is kedge, so if you miss your alarm and die you won't have any EB items or fish scales to get back to your corpse. You can (with SoW) just barely make it from entrance to the shark room on a single breath of air, but it's not easy and you're likely to wind up dying again, so unless you get really good at that swim I'd recommend camping an alt with some fish scales outside the Unrest tunnel.
