For those Paladin lovers -- how you solo on a Paladin post 46+ (video)

[Beastagoog]

This is a post level 46 (using DW helm) video with about...20k worth of gear and my epic which I just got @ level 50, prior to getting my epic I soloed petty much most of 20-50 using a veliuum 2hs which was 30-37. I also had crusty armor from about 20-40 before I got the high elf armor set.

I started to solo level in CoM the moment I dinged 46 starting with haze golems. 46-51 didnt take long as I was getting about 10% xp per level in 30 odd mins give or take. Fog Golems rape the shit out of you so try to avoid them ( as you will see in the video if you watch it).

I plan to one day write a 1-50 guide with all the best solo spots I've found...one day.

This way to level is boring as shit dont get me wrong but if you love melee's/Paladins and want to solo most of the way than it's fun for awhile, it's also quite an AFKish way to level too once you know the spots. I was doing this while studying, anytime I wanted to take a break I would drop 30-45mins in to getting some xp.

You get about 1-2% per kill prior to dinging 51, than it starts to slow down to about .5% per kill.

Video details:

SELF BUFFED, getting the remaining 10-11% I needed to ding 51 in about 35mins recorded about 6-7 months ago when I used to play.

p.s obviously better gear (CoF/Fungi/tash stick for getting root to stick longer etc. etc.) would reduce the leveling time by quite a margin.

FLAME ON BABES!

Good post + not begging people for views. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Grats on 51. I like how you label your videos Project 1999
Keep it up, paladins are the underdogs.

Never levelled in City of Mist at all on my paladin as spent my time in Kithicor during the night cycles's at that level range, but that looked fun [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Give it a go.
You get decent money too if gem drops go your way.

I soloed Temple, Stables, arena (do not do goos as you cant root them)....avoid fog golems and phantoms till atleast 50.

I am 51.5 and might pick this back up again soon...might try solo moat at off peak.

Good post but I prefered your "Drugs" thread. That one was wicked [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Personally I don't run into lack of options to solo on melee, not until 50-60. I hope you keep going, and share what you do from 51+. Godspeed to you!

My SK was soloing CoM before 40 because everyone there was saying I was too low to group... then they got mad cos I was taking temple area to myself.

Just can't please some [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Foggies are pretty nasty, this is true.

As an SK I was also fear kiting Spectral Keepers in Trakanon's Teeth (again people were getting mad at me cos a level 41 was taking up the Pained Soul PH, but I figured why not double down... never did get it to spawn though).

For clarity I mention my SK experiences as I suppose they have equivalent damage in/out abilities. Obviously a paladin doesn't have the snare for fear (or do they?), but I suppose they can proxy something similar cycling through stuns against these wizards?

I agree that the AFKish and having to find the right spots element of levelling a melee has a strange appeal to it. Disclaimer: I'm a glutton for punishment, having exclusively soloed level 54 on my 'self found geared' Halfling warrior.

Yeah I am glad you brought this up, as I thought to myself if a Sk could follow a similar path seeing that SK is knight as is a pally.

Wonder which one has better options at 51+ to solo?

I have a pal that "likes" the sk class, but feels that it's a waste of time leveling one because they are "weak and underpowered" compared to warriors.

He is hitting a hard wall at lvl 51 as warrior to solo now though. I know people will point out it's a team game etc., but not everyone has the time to LFG or join groups for XP and that's why he tends to solo a lot.

Problem is, he likes melee and melee on this game tend to need group support for easier leveling.

Lhance, I suspect SK might have the edge, but I humbly ask whether your friend has considered monk?

I know neither you nor I can get into the groove with monks, but I think it may be what he is really hankering after.
