Has anyone used an untwinked Rogue to solo 1-60?

I releveled my rogue to 4-60 mostly solo with NToV tier stuff for the uh.. challenge. Just sayin'. Root nets and muscle lock poison made KC pretty easy.
This is a dumb idea and I support it.

Could I ask, what was your leveling path?

Untwinked with no regen and only healing by bandages would be pretty brutal. It's too bad Embalmers Skinning Knife doesn't run any cheaper.

The cheapest regen item is what, Ceremonial Iksar Chestplate?

Assume these are estimates.

Solb LDCs / KC 56-60, mostly solo or duo.
Highkeep nobles 52-56.
45 to 52 I killed bloodgills on spawn. That got dicey a few times with double pulls.
DL for a bit.
I like FV drolvargs alot in the 30ishes. Till 35?
Early on was just wandering. Stonebrunt sucked.

Highkeep guards on first two floors from mid 20s til mid 30s.

Work on intimidate to give time to bandage or backstab. FS swords can be sold to neutral merchants on first floor.

I remember there was a guide someone had on Red on how to solo your rogue up to 60 without having a lot of gear. Pretty sure he was legit using potions to be able to kill blues or light blues and struggling through with stuff like killing a single Kelethin guard every 8 minutes to get through 59.

Red doesn't count cuz exp bonus.

1-51 is half the game. And not only half the game, it's the first half of the game. Most people would give up and twink by 30. Solo an untwinked rogue to 51 on blue before you try to make that distinction trivial.

To ding 60 you need to be able to kill level 40 mobs. I haven't played an EQ rogue in 16 years but can a level 59 UNTWINKED rogue kill a level 40 mob at all?

Probably boils down to what is considered untwinked. If no epic, no fungi no CoF etc... I suppose nope? Cuz level 40 mobs double for 100 and a 59 rogue has like what 1500 HPs with some basic gear?

Player named Sqid from the something awful forums did this with both a Warrior and Rogue. Went so far as to click off buffs others gave him. I believe he used the bind during combat trick till the 30's then thought that made it too easy and went without all the way up to 60. He thought it was far easier to get to 60 this way on the rogue than his warrior. Sadly he stepped down as GL of Unknown Guild about a year back so no easy way to ask him his path although it's buried somewhere in the p1999 thread on SA.
