Hmm.. harmony. It's an outdoor zone. Failing that, run away with SoW really fast. And yeah, it'll make you KoS pretty quick in Highpass / WFP.

Assuming you are a Ranger there isn't any reason you should be killed doing nobles. Harmony for single pull and make sure the mob is snared. If things get hairy, root and back off. Don't turn your back and run because they will backstab you so hard you will delete your ranger and reroll a rogue.

If you can't handle one noble you can try Captain Boshinko hes a little easier mob and is right next to the zone. Think he's on a 6 min or maybe 10 min spawn.

Don't kill the bards or Isabella and it will make your life a lot easier.

I think what I did at that level range was just look up monk soloing suggestions, and figured I can do anything a monk can do. And w/ slow regen ds root, snare splitting.. You pretty much can.

Thanks for advices! I started killing some Freeport guards and dwarfs since It came to my mind that I never go there anyway so I don't mind the faction drops.

Its been very very slow killing guards, much faster just group up in KC and dps/pull. But I want to make some money too. Im 52 now and its painfully slow as solo, using magic/bow and melee at 60% hp health of mob.

Getting Chloroplast at 55 helps alot for solo melee?

You're in the 50s. Of course it's painfully slow [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

If you haven't a cloak of shadows or soiled bag now is a good time to solo in SolB at bats zone line to earn them. Keep selling the soiled bags until you get your cloak as that is the rarer drop (both are pretty common though; the mob that drops them spawns 25% of the time every 20 minutes, bag drops 75% of the time, cloak the other 25%).

Dwarves... Do you have your epic? Because there's a Kaladim portion.

I know this thread is about solo, but really, just do a /who for priesr classes and get a duo going. At 52 if you can find a 39+ cleric you're golden. One of my main strategies when leveling a melee is to find a preist significantly lower than myself, because it is a win/win situation. They get crazy exp because they're killing mobs way higher than they would normally, and you get good exp because they take so much less due to the level difference. With shaman and druids levels are a little more important because you're relying more on buffs than just complete heal - for druids I want to say 44 is a big level in that regard.

If you are going to solo, definitely do it outdoors. DL seems like the best option because you have plenty of room to fight around KC, and can even sneak inside to beg for buffs. Finding an enchanter enroute to KC who will give you VoG or C2, or druid to toss you a potg will speed things up a lot solo. Outdoor is also nice because you have room to kite if necessary. Root/snare a mob and regen up a bit if a fight is close. It'll definitelt be slower than a duo though.

Seriously though, don't be shy and just send people unsolicited tells. I've gotten a ton of exp by just doing "/who all 39 50 cleric" (or shaman/druid) and sending a tell to everyone who wasn't already in an exp zone to see if they wanted to duo.

Im 54 now but loosing interest in my ranger.. what did you do 50+ that was fun? Got any advice for fun stuff u can farm solo that sells for a few hundred pp?

I feel that druid is so much easier solo just sittning down while dotting and regain mana instead of standing up bowing to 50% before melee and then mana is gone on roots and dots. Or else I just end up assisting in KC...

At 50+, I'm trying to remember what my gameplan was - it's been a long time since this era on live, and I'm not quite there yet on p99. But I seem to remember Seb being ideal. Sol B should still be good xp too, especially on FGs (and good plat too).

I seldom used bow to whittle things down unless they were *really* nasty. For the most part, you should be able to melee stuff down, root and take a step back to heal up when needed, and then finish the job.
Or look up some higher level animals and snare + panic animal.
Worst case scenerio...group up. Things should always be fun, especially as you can function as the puller in a lot of areas due to harmony, invis, sneak, and ranged attacks. If things are boring, then add some spice and bring mobs faster [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If it's plat you're after, there should be plenty of ways to make money at 54. I won't begin to list them all, but there's a *lot* of options. You can solo most of the old world at 54, so...have at 'er.
