Zentile's Level 59 Monk Solo Guide

[Zentile]

Hi Everyone,

I've been thinking of ways that I could give back to the community that has helped me so much and decided that I would create a wiki for fellow monks who wish to solo level 59.

Zentile's Level 59 Monk Solo Guide

Please let me know if you have any thoughts or feedback, or better yet, feel free to update the wiki entry yourself with additional information.

Here is my honourable mention listing in case anyone wanted to know:

• Skyfire Trash - often green
• Chardok Exit - too high level
• Seb Zone-out Golem - lvl 47 to 52 so high level ones summon and would smoke me
• Felwithe Guards - Too High
• Kedge Keep - Too Low and Named are Too High
• DL Wizard Spire Skeletons - Too Low
• CS Wyvrens - too low
• CS Bulthors - Heardleader can add, lots of HP for level, fear wasn't reliable (1 in 12)
• WL Geos - casters are huge undercons, all mobs run, never found a safe spot to pull to as Tar Sands will KS you, drop gems, tons of mobs so can always find a spot
• Velks Spiders - lots of HP, always mobs up, complicated mob names, need see invis, mobs don't run, can usually find buffs, tons of trains when at zoneline
• Kedge Keep - mostly green unless you venture in deep
• Chardok - Entrance, Exit - too high level
• Burning Woods - Giant Fort, Named Cycle - nearly all greens unless you do cycle and Nez would smoke you, wide level range, better 54-57
• Skyfire - Cycle - Lava Walkers would smoke you
• FM Named Giants - two names at back of fort, 6:40 timers, don't add, always lvl 50, just a bit hard for monk to be sustainable solo

Wow, excellent guide! Kudos to you for writing and sharing it.

When I have time I'll add links to all of the areas in your guide to the http://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide. Currently it only has single spot for monks, so adding all the spots from your guide will really help. Plus it's always nice when I can include links with more details for each spot, as you can only fit so much info in a single row of a table.

Thanks guys, updated the West Charasis portion.

I'm pretty sure my level range for CoM was already up to lvl 46, but I've added your portion about getting to 2nd.

Keep it coming guys!

I found the safe spot at frenzied brooding to be easy xp, but that was outside prime times and on a 59 ranger. Decent loot too. Normally camp is locked down by 60s though.

I actually had the best results at 59 on my Monk soloing Velks spiders. I almost didn't bother trying it because I always subscribed to the whole "Velious xping stinks" thing, but it was surprisingly really good. Mobs in Velks have like no AC at all, and the only thing about those spiders that hurt is their occasional poison proc.

It's true, with a wurmslayer and swift wind ranger's auto attack did around 60dps. 40 was a more usual value for other zones.

The rogues seemed to die particularly quickly too, perhaps as rogues they are lower hp?

Thanks Pezy. I remember trying Velks and getting a bit less than 2% an hour soloing spiders in 59. They hit harder than anything of comparable level in Classic or Kunark with a ton more HP. I didn't find it fast at all but it certainly is convenient.

Really amazing work, much appreciated

This is a really great guide. What % of exp per hour do you think you were roughly getting on average?

[Zentile]

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I’ve had some good feedback in game too so I’m glad people find it valuable.

The top camps on that list are ~4%/hr whereas the bottom camps on closer to ~2%/hr.
