Solo Leveling Guide for a Twink Monk?

[dslaybac]

I vote mistmoore / uguk for 20-30
SolA 30-40
SolB 40-60 tho you will need a partner or group for efreeti

Have fun!

Newbie area until you get to kurns
Kurns until 20 (by 18/19 you'll solo the entire bottom floor)
Warsilk woods giant camp until 23ish
LOIO by lake (velspar entrance) until you can do the sarnak fort
LOIO sarnak fort (ledge camp) until 30
30-39 in sola (captain camp to 36 then clockwork gnomes to 39)
OT by the skyfire ramp 40-46 (free buffs by friendly travelers)

At this time you should make friends with a shaman or 7 and duo to 60. If you insist on staying solo take it to the hole or solb

2hb tricking, stun proc that can stun for up to 8 seconds, hardly gets resisted, and dd's for 120 say otherwise. It's just not a lazy weapon that you can throw on and just hit auto-attack and say "my gear will win for me, ill just sit back and relax".

up to 8 seconds? what are the mechanics behind that

[fugazi]

With that gear you just walk up to a blue con and press auto-attack. What the fuck man, if you got that kinda plat, you shouldn't be needing to ask these kinda questions.

Go to Sol A now. Then you're 50.

It's supposed to be a 12 second stun, but I've personally never seen it last that long on a npc. Sometimes it wears off early, and the mob is still stunned, sometimes the effect lasts as long as it's supposed to but the stun wore off early, the highest amount of time the actual stun has lasted on an npc for me is 8 seconds.

My only input for a solo melee is that the *best* locations do not always yield the best results. With monk class and this degree of twinking you can hunt most anywhere and do so safely. Dungeons and high ZEM locations offer the best xp per kill but can be crowded, camped, or be unnecessarily dangerous and result in more down time.

There is something to be said for outdoor zones with easy chain pulls. You can use jboots and sow potions. In the right areas you never run out of pulls. It's safe and you're unlikely to find yourself in a bind where your down time jumped following a double/triple mob scenario.

Chain pulling dark blues outside yields consistently good experience.
