This isn't really my thread anymore, but I'll try to keep updating for posterity. Up to 58 now.

Some good solo spots, 46-51 spectres / LOIO goblins. 51-56 HHK (55 and 56 were dyrna and running upstairs to kill a couple nobles in between spawns) 56 Hole Ent / Tar Goos (they basically deal 0 damage to you, could probably start these earlier) 57 PoM rats / Hole Castle. After 55 it's been about 4% an hour, which is something.

From here I'll do some combo of PoM rats / the Hole.

Soloing tips: Your pet is crucial for DPS even though it seems like trash. I believe you can torch it if it's under DW level. Can summon after splitting to save the headache. Hang out places there are enchanters--a C goes a LONG way (haste is nice too).

Pre-60 desirable Gear list: Soul Defiler, Crown of Narandi, Eyepatch of Plunder, Ring 8. If I get any of these I'll let you know how they help.

Post-60 it's just HP/Resists/AC for me. Don't plan to tank anything crazy, just wanna tag / pull stuff and do fun solo challenges.

Hey it is still your thread! Hopefully the discussions here-in were enlightening. Glad to see you are making progress. Getting 5 levels since the start of this thread is impressive. Your list looks pretty good. You may want to add Shawl 7 in there if you get the chance, every bit of mana regen helps. Unfortunately all of the other Flowing Thought I items that SK's get are pretty expensive DKP wise (Cazic Brain/Eye for example). Way more than Soul Defiler typically, so Shawl 7 is probably the easiest Flowing Thought I item to get.
