Your best bet besides tagging along with a raid like you should be doing is having both go up naked and expecting to die. Seriously.. go with a raid.

Agreed. I'd rather run backwards through a razor blade forest naked than try to solo this.

If you go with a raid, it's one of the easiest parts of the quest, rather than being one of the hardest if you try to solo it.

I always dread doing corpse drags in PoH. A lot of people seem to think Rogues are fine to sneak around up there. Nope. It's dangerous.

To be fair, only the banshee and lich see Rogues, but those things are everywhere

When I did this, we both died and ported up naked, then were rezzed back after book retrieval. Wizard did die and eat XP loss before being able to gate 2/3 of the times, however, but there wasn't a corpse run. WC cap would have likely been enough to prevent that, but I didn't get one as I was expecting the wizard to be rezzed back down as a form of instant-porting (timing on zone loading was not precise enough for that plan to work, hence the gating/dying).

Regardless, the whole expense for my run was 700 platinum plus three people's time for an hour, which isn't exactly a crippling cost. The two unrezzed deaths were a bigger deal, but also not that problematic in the grand scheme of things. It was also one of the most heartpoundingly fun experiences I've had playing EQ, and it did really give a pretty cool Roguey feeling. If you're not guilded or your guild can't do hate and don't want to beg people to follow along on their raids, its not that bad an option all things considered.

EDIT: Also, remember nothing sees sneak, just hide. Back arc is always safe.

I recently had to do this again for my High elf mask. I went up with a raid but another rogue had already snagged the book. Ended up just camping out next to the book. Logged back in some hours later, picked it up, and WC cap'd out no problem.
