Soloed 52-58 in the hole with a fungi. Bring a slow stone clicky and you can easily solo named elementals down there as well.

What is the slow stone clicky?

Yeah what is your black magic trickery? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

50-66% slow. I found this item, however it is a rare drop from the Kiraikuei Mummies from the Plane of Hate. http://wiki.project1999.com/Slowstone_Amber

35-50% slow. The only other slow I could find was on a shaman and ranger item, as combat procs. http://wiki.project1999.com/Tagar%27s_Insects

Yuck. No dungeon ZEM, no thanks.

Have you actually tried the camp?

They have half the hitpoints of other mobs their level, they hit like pansies, and do not cast. Theres 12 of them on a 13 minute respawn. It is the easiest and fastest solo exp you're going to get 44-51.

They're pretty cheap, I don't remember how much exactly but it isn't going to be significant if you're sporting a Fungi.

Confirmed to sell for 15p 8g @ Indifferent faction with 64 Charisma

5 Charges of Nullify Magic. Cost is about 3.1p per click.

Seems like I'm past solo levels. Or should I toss it on a new ranger?

My iksar monk was soloing at level 59, without a fungi

Tried it myself. Would not do it again.

Can u run down ranger vs monk for me? Still on the fence other than monk already 38.

All I can twink either with would be fungi, fbss, pb for monk and maybe ivy etched gear and a sword for ranger.

Monks are an extremely overpowered class with a little utility.
Rangers are an extremely underpowered class with a lot of utility.

Monks can realistically solo past 50 (epic, fungi, tstaff?), rangers need guild support to get key items to allow soloing. You need a fungi, your epics, and a sky cloak to really have a shot. Being TMO gave me earlier access to my epics than most rangers, so I can't honestly say ranger soloing will work to 60 for everyone. It's extremely slow and never stops being dangerous.

Ranger Soloing

Self buffs: Grim Aura, See Invis, Sow, Levi, Str, Skin, Coat, Chloroplast, Thorns
Required gear: Fungi, slow weapon (swarm caller / epic), dps weapon (woodsman / epic)
Optional: DS potions

Pull with bow (at 50+, 2x dmg on non-moving, non-rooted)
Fight in safe area and begin trying to slow. Swap to dps weapon when slow procs.
Continue fighting until your health drops below 50%. Root the mob.
Keep fighting and refreshing root until hp gets to around 20%. Back off.
Sit. Med. Regen. Shoot arrows in between ticks. Refresh root as needed.
Repeat process until one of you dies.

Damage shields and regen are doing most of the work here. Basically you use your hp as a weapon, so allow hp to drop as far as you feel safe doing so.
Having sow all the time lets rangers get away, most of the time. I think fighting like this is fun, but it's not as efficient as monks because rangers take more / harder hits.
