Melee, unlike casters, are allowed buffs from other players and a kill still counts as "solo", so you actually didn't have to click off the cleric buffs. But using a root net is a strong clicky that gives you the "-" and djarn's room starting off cleared with a partner gives you the "*" because you didn't do the pull yourself.

Imo you don't need to solo all the way from the entrance of a zone to the pull of your target in order for it to count as a solo WITH pull kill (although some people feel differently, I think). I'd say whatever room/camp the target mob is in needs to be fully spawned and handled only by you to avoid having the * on your kill. You will have a hard time doing most any kill as a warrior without strong clickies for CC, but everyone who reads this thread understands that seeing a warrior kill something in HS north, even if he had to use 8 root nets to make it happen, pulled off something pretty difficult and unusual.

Gonna have to fucking solo some HS north shit then.. Sneak pulling + Clickies should do me solid.
WIll report back soon.

Just finished reading this. I am going to try the challenge on red as an Enchanter, which will definitely add a new element to it.

Quick question: What do other enchanters use for mem blur?

I have just been using the level 4 mez until it blurs, but I am sure there is a better option.

As a HE, I can use the stalking probes to get past locked doors in Seb right? How does that work exactly?

Should I even attempt HS at 54, or should I wait until I get a few levels? I figure I won't be able to do the challenge mobs yet at 54, but I could learn the layout while getting some exp, I just grabbed my HS key the other day.

Currently I have Jboots, gobby earring, and I am camping the gob ring. What other clickies should I try to gather up? Bracer of the Hidden would be good, but the lack of recharging and added cast time makes hatting not as beneficial.

On spells, I am currently missing Allure and Clarity 2 as the important ones, but I am also missing a few others that are 49 or low 50's. Any other spells that Enchanters find irreplaceable while trying this? I skipped quite a few while leveling because plat and researched spells are hard to find on Red. Any input on spells/uses would be great.

I am on a Mac, but I am thinking of switching to my PC, since there are a ton of small issues with Project1999 on the Mac (270 degree mouse turns, lag, random window pop ups, etc.) and I think all of these could hinder me. Has anyone done these challenges on a Mac? I have no idea how to get screenshots to work on it since that will be another issue.

I think this should be pretty enjoyable, especially when pvp happens and I am close to ending a fight. The pvp is the main reason I want to get screenshots working. There is a 50% chance I will have a 150+ MR SK coming at me in Lguk when I try the King.

[Tecmos Deception]

I'll usually either just spam level 4 mez until it blurs, or use lowest mem blur. I only ever use something else, like blanket of forgetfulness, if I want to blur a group of mobs.

Gnome illusion. Duck+run into door. Click off illusion. Stand up. Click probe. Click off probe buff after you pop through the door.

I XPed at HS entrance at 52 on my chanter on red, though waiting until 54 isn't a bad idea. I liked it at 52 because it was so dead in there... never had to worry about someone floating down from above and blasting me like in CoM or whatever, plus you get spell drops. You could kill the challenge mobs in north at 54, it'd just be very dangerous, especially for the boss up there.

I love shaman potions for curing poison and disease.

C2 is actually less important (when you're in HS) than ToT is, haha. You'll get it to drop if you spend a few levels grinding in HS anyway; 51-54 spells all over the place in the whole zone.

Berserker strength and rune 5. Don't be afraid to spend dots or put BS up (in front of rune) for trying to break into a larger spawn, especially if the mobs in there can HT or cast.

Chewie is scared of leaving his swamp, and everyone else is scared of HS ("WE XP IN LCY CAUSE WE NEED TSTAFFS BRO"). I think I saw 4 players total in the zone in the time it took me to take red Tecmos from 52 to 56, and none of them were anywhere except entrance, basement, or north.


You can totally dominate all of HS on a chanter on red. Don't listen to the baddies who think that just because you don't have a hat and a soulfire it is impossible to solo in there. Just know the right spots to die and the right items to keep in bank and/or on corpses to keep CR pain to a minimum and it is basically as simple to CR as it is to recharge a hat on blue anyway.

Thanks for the input Tecmos.

[D-] Neh'Ashiir [54 Enchanter, City of Mist]

Done with Eratani and myself (2 60 druids).

Probably the hardest thing was figuring out how to aggro him through the door without a rogue.

Strong items... Puppet Strings / Robe of the Spring.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Fortunately he spawned after just 2 reavers.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Allowed him to CH once because pets almost pushed him over the side. Controlling push on them was interesting, couldn't really get the angle to offset each others push after a charm break.

Woodsman's Staff + 57 Cleric Group Heal drop, but meh. Was just for the lols of 2 druids killing him.

Hi Everyone,

I started playing in March and quickly found this thread. I have been working on getting to the point where I could start completing some of the challenges and have enough time to finally start posting. Hopefully I will be able to periodically update with some of the kill stories. Also I have made a point to record all the videos of the kills. Someday I may go back and do some commentary on them.

Thanks!

Specially Thanks to Tecmos for inspiration and lots of question answering and Dazzlerazzle for getting me started on the server.

[S] the froglok king [48 paladin, Ruins of Old Guk] 6/18/2014

Invised down during the day, calmed the water elemental. calmed the room and suicide the PH. Then did it over and over camping by the exit portal and checking trackers for epic mobs. Got about 8 PH, and 1 tactician (no tiara). Came back later that night and killed a PH then he spawned with just the 2 guards up. I already had the guards calmed. he agroed me sitting on the ledge. Rooted him upstairs in the hallway mezed. setup pet downstairs with haste. chain stunned starting at 50%. Not to bad. was very happy to get my first SAC kill though!

[S] Sentient Bile [50 Warrior, HS North] 6/19/2014
Basically scared shitless. I was duoing with a shammy and we were about to go into north after killing the Golems outside and his power went out from a storm. I have watched Tecmos video from Red a bunch of times. I followed his lead to the safe spot lulling the biles and what not. lulled some pathers and did some tests on the agro range for the static spawns to the right. petted up and cleared the left room camped it for 1 or 2 respawns killing that room and the pathers. Pretty easy.

[S] Crypt Wurm [50 Warrior, HS North] 6/26/2014 S*
Was duoing basement with a necro, getting exp about 4% from 58 he had to go so I went upstairs and this guy was up in the left side room. Pretty standard lulls and reverse charm which seems to be the less tedious way to kill these guys. S- cause I didnt realize i had dmf ;/ will do it again some day I guess (ended up getting it again at 60 when refreshing keys in north without DMF)

[S] The Crypt Keeper [50 Necromancer, HS North] 6/26/2014
After killing Crypt Wurm and 3 more biles I noticed through the wall that this guy was up. I had just dinged 58 so I thought what the hell might as well give it a shot and Hat out if I fuck up. Lullel all the dudes to get a key from the middle room, waited for respawns in the outer hallway then killed the 3 guys upstairs. Medded up lulled the entire room and mezzed the Keeper. tash + allure to kill the pet then reverse charm vs 3 of the rooted dudes. I had replaced my goblin ring with a cha ring cause i was scared of lull resists and forgot to put it back on. almost let him die. finally broke him and rooted, he got a dot off I nuked looted and gated. Overlooking the dropdown to HS I was clicking off all my buffs so I could dispel the dot and ended up fatfingering and quitting eq. logged back in with 6% hp. First Disciple kill though. Now I can corpse a West key and start making moves in there. Might go back to seb and start working on Disco, not sure yet.

[S] A Drolvarg warlord [53 Warrior, Karnors] 9/9/2014
Was going to PL a friend outside of KC and while I was waiting I went to check on named here. Made my way through all the trains to Hand room, everything was fully popped on the way. I saw Knight of Sathir casting, gnomed up and took a peak and saw Warlord up too! Asked my friend how to actually get to his room and made my way. Went down and calmed the room from outside the door easy peasy. mezed tashed petted up one of the guards then pulled warlord with tash and rooted him on my pet. pet broke at some % i forget and I had to stun to get it under control and agroed one of the other guards. ended up under control and died to the next pet break. Ran back after getting a port with no sow and no lev tried again. pet broke under a torch and i got stuck ducking and couldnt stun. game over.
3rd time charmed a diff dog and didnt give him a torch no break owned warlord shitty loot and gated out.

Right after Killing Warlord I went in search of this dude. He was spawned in the solo spot, calmed a couple roamers and beat him down. I did eat a dot which was dumb but it wasnt a big deal. Cripple and Slow and he was toast. shitty loot obv

[S] Construct of Sathir [52 Shadowknight, Karnors] 9/10/2014
Ended up PLing my buddy for a bit more after killing the other KC mobs. after that session decided to just run though and see if anything was up. Contruct was in Hand room so I figured I should get it out of the way. First attempt i tried to reverse charm to get rid of the pet. Huge mistake, got rocked just all around bad. He seems pretty MR. Anway next go, calmed the room set up a pet with haste and a torch then mezed construct and killed pet. It died in 2 seconds. Then rooted/slow/cripple and it was easy as pie. killed undead jailer with the same charmed hand. Warlord was up so I got that guy again too.

Was going after a HS south key and this guy was spawned in the room for the boss key. Standard kill charmed a bile at 60% hasted it and he died. Pretty simple. Moved on to West Boss camp after.

[S] Skeletal Procurator [52 Shadowknight, HS West] 9/14/2014
After getting this guy to 4% on my first try starting with 70%hp and 60%mana i knew I could do it. First time I went with reverse charm but this time I just straight up pet raped him. wasnt too bad i was aware of my runes and made sure I spots for dots to dispell. I also cleared the whole entire hallway before. Really wasnt to bad. charm never broke had him mez/cripd/slowed the whole time. gated after shitty loot and went for my last guy for HS. hopefully I get him so I can spend some time in seb.

Had been clearing West for 3-4 days on and off trying to get this guy to spawn. There was a necro (Stenxx) in North most of the time when I was trying to spawn this guy. Had about an hour Monday night so I jumped on and went into north to see what was up. Necro was in there clearing and was going to let me know when he popped. While I was running around he spawned and I took him out easily. Technically not solo as the other group was clearing shit and the spawns were broken but I’ve cleared North and West so many times that I’m counting it [You must be logged in to view images.

[S] A cliff golem [58 Warrior, The Overthere]
Well I lied while I was about to run to Karnors to get ported to seb I thought what the hell and went for the Golem. The Foreman already had a whip and torch. Set him up with haste and raptured the golem. Took 2 raptures to land slow and I was low on mana. No charm breaks, only had to bedlam and rune the pet once after I let him eat enrage for a couple hits. pretty simple, Pet ended at 9%. Got a peridot for my troubles

[S] Froglok Chef [52 Warrior, Sebilis Chef/Bar] 9/17/2014
Headed down to Seb early in the day just to explore. I had been there a lot back in the day on my druid but only really been to the chef/bar area since playing on p99. Went down to Disco and saw a group in the front and buffed them up. Got distracted by my wife as i was poking around and agroed 2 golems died while half paying attention to them breaking out of root. The group I just buffed rezzed me and I realized I forgot to bind.

Played my lvl 25ish sham with my friends for a bit and when we stopped grinding i figured id treck it back to seb and see if any nameds were up and set up for the morning. There was a dead group at NG so i dragged them all back up top. I used this time to explore a bit as I was searching for everyones corpse and get the lay of the land a bit. Everything except chef got a CC so I headed that way and ran into a group...Found out they were just leaving so I kept moving on, stuff was starting to repop. so i checked the side spawns and killed the hammer guys ph using tecmos trick of sitting behind the desk to calm and then suicide him. This place is definitely different than HS. Shamans suck wizards hurt and the krup knights seem to have infinite hp. Generally stuff seems more resisty as well. Anyway i saw that the chef room was starting to repop. So I calmed and invised over there and Camped out some agro from an annoying krup knight pet. 4 out of 5 mobs were up including Chef. I calmed a wiz and shm then chef and a bok knight in the back corner. petted him up and weaponized/hasted and figured the back left would spawn while i was fighting so i pulled him back to the door, tashed chef rooted and slowed and he got chopped up like butter. seb scale hat for my first kill in Seb. hopefully get a little luckier going forward. 2 more for Disciple.

note: I realize it wasnt a full pop but I took liberty that I could have lulled the back left spawn in chef room.
