So what do you mean by “crawling dungeons”? A bit late in asking for definitions (sorry) but let’s dig into this.

Crawling any dungeon that gives anything but green con exp at 60 will be exceptionally difficult, dangerous and slow. Npc’s scale more aggressively than players since this is a group-based game. For example, a blue con in Sebilis will usually have 2-3 times the hps of an unbuffed tank. A good player with a 60 shaman (with all the toys) can do this slowly and safely. Necros and enchanters can efficiently as well (plus some really good druids). The best melees on the server have but mostly (I expect) as a badge of honor. Now as a duo...completely different. Fun, faster, safer, etc.

If your are exploring dungeons with good gear 30 levels higher than the npcs any melee can do it. The average monk or knight is on the more capable side (monks faster). Rangers are less capable if only since a lot of these lower level npcs will have 6-8pt damage shields and you likely will be dual-wielding 1h’s.

So you might clarify what that means to you and how important it is. Is it for fun, profit, or the achievement itself? Whittling away at a npc with a lot of hps is rarely fun or profitable unless it’s a named spawn and you are very committed to burning some time.
