Looking for Dragon Necropolis Soloing Advice
I can count on one hand the number of times I've been to Dragon Necropolis. I understand it's not a very friendly zone, with miserable corpse runs, so that's sort of kept me away ...
... but I also really want a http://wiki.project1999.com/Spirit_Talker%27s_Headdress (it seems to be the best possible Shaman helm with a polar bear head graphic [You must be logged in to view images.

I'm especially interested in Shaman-specific info, and on how to get to and kill the Paebala (particularly the Spirit Talker) ... but I'll take anything I can get from those that know the zone well.

That area is really tough! Idk if it's possible to "solo" it all completely but iirc getting there involves riskin triggering a Fear/Dragon Construct/Swarming Beetle trap .. all of which are deadly unless you have FD available. Assuming you make it there the Paebala on that side of DN love to path together (hard to pull solo). To top it all off I think they can gate...
Before the NPC-push-interrupt...we had a trio of SK/Sham/War clearing it pretty steadily for 3-5 hrs at a time. Saw about 3 of the shaman only lances and 0 helms [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] | ||

Wow, this sounds like quite a challenge! I do have the FD ring, but it's out of charges ATM: sounds like I might need to make a trip to Sky ... and might even need to recruit some help.
But if it's at all soloable, I want to try: gear upgrades are so few and far between for me at this point that I honestly don't mind spending a month or more on a single upgrade, and new challenges seem like fun instead of a burden.

For future reference, just learned one important thing from people in-zone: stay away from the bones (they trigger dragon-summoning traps).

I don't think the risk/reward ratio warrants going there solo, particularly if you're new to the zone. I'd find a monkie duo partner and work from there.

One more question for people: is there any specific good loot in that "Paebala" area (or really anywhere in DN) that monks ... or any other class for that matter ... would want?

The Paebala Warbone, Rez Goo's, and Spirit Talker's 2 drops are the only thing those brand of rats drop [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I wouldn't recommend solo'ing this area at all.
These rats are no joke, they are almost all sow'd, the shaman (the ones you want) are the worst, mainly because they gate. You can't fight them on their spawns typically because their area is so packed with them (statics + plenty of roamers). Before the push/interrupt nerf, you could monk/sham duo in that goo room but I'm sure that's not even possible anymore w/o sieves. | ||
