Default Naked Monk Solo

How well could a near naked monk solo to cap? Would it even be possible?

Using the strict definition of possible, yes it is.

Luckily you won't be near-naked for long. A full set of wu's and some proper jewelry is actually fairly inexpensive and will greatly increase your solo viability.

Luckier still - you can group with basically any priest class, a chanter, or a necro and totally own, even if you have limited play time.

yes, you could solo 1-60, and given good choices on where/what to fight, i'd wager you could do it without a single death after lvl 17.

Even a full set of Cured Silk and possible Sash or Headband quests would be helpful.

Why would you be naked? Hopefully you made an iksar, and can turn in the curscale hides for an awesome newbie set of armor in Cabilis.

Once you get feign, you might even try feigning your way up to Dalnir and see if anyone is in there letting crescent rot.

Even if you made a human, you will be killing tons of spiders. If you bring all the mats to a tailor, I'm sure he would do the combines for a low price, or even free for an up and coming monk.

AC from gear is pretty slight. Fist damage and delay are shoddy at low levels, but get decent enough later on (but still are not a match for the best weapons you can get).

Back in the dawn of time (pre-Kunark), monks and paladins were the only classes that could get over 1000 AC. Monks had an easier time hitting this figure.

By soloing buck naked (Texas ranger!), you'll also be missing resists (which aren't that hot at the moment), item haste (which will hurt a lot), and item-granted bonus hit points (55hp rings, 35hp earrings, 50hp robe, etc).

I've leveled my monk to 18 using cracked staff, staff and finally empty fist. He can still solo low-end DB mobs at this point. I expect it'll get a tad easier at level 20 with Eagle Strike and improved fist damage, however it is pretty slow-going at the moment. He has reasonably good AC, but I expect he could solo the same mobs with a lot more bandages and resting time between fights.

Ultimately, I'm sure the answer is yes - but it'll be slow and tedious.

I say naked but mean low gear/not much gear, It is an iksar and I don't have a lot of money to buy anything yet.
