About Soloing

[Sauzer]

I'm a really puzzled noob right now...
I have a lvl 17 fighter full END, but I'm starting to think if it was amistake, since I like to solo.
Right now I have to stick with boars and ratmen, but it get's boring as hell really fast, having to kill hundreds of them to level...
Maybe I should restart and go with 25 SPR+rest strength, but at lvl17 It's hard to say anything, and it would suck to restart forever..

And what's it like to solo later on (lvls20+,30+..). Hearing scary stories about stones and pots on every mob.. That'd crush my poor economy... (Maybe I should *bleep* everything and stick with my mage in KQ's nuking everything?)

Should I keep full END with nice hp and def, get an axe for solo and keep 1h sword+shield for KQ from time to time? Or should I go for 25spr+rest strength with nice dmg and crits with axe. And I heard that it's possible to tank this way too.

So can some of the higher levels enlight me about soloing, please?

I'd keep with full end, im a full end tanker and I solo LOTS and I lvl FAST lol
im lvl 39 currently and it only has been a week and a half.. I consider that fast =D

The only thing is that to level fast you need lots of bling bling =) as I go through stones like you wouldnt believe lol

Sorry, but I dont remember where I leveled from 20-30 I think I just did KQ's and did quest possibly solo'd at burning hill.

At 30 I started at moonlight/sand hill till lvl 36. Then from there I went to Vine Tomb till 38 and since then i've been soloing at CP and currently lvl 39.

Once I hit lvl 43 I plan on doing CP devestate trains with my gf since she is a cleric :P thats the fastest way to level I think.

Wow seraph, soloing CP huh? Very nice. Well I am also a full END tank, on my way to being an AoE god (ask me what I mean if you want), and I find soloing slow, but overall not too painful on the wallet. I solo in sand hill ATM, being a lvl 33 and all, and I only use my 1h and shield. So everytime I go to restone I break even or if the drops weren't too great this time I might lose a little, sometimes I will gain a little too so I basically always break even in the end. Really it is a matter of preference. I personally love doing damage, but I love being able to tank 5+ mobs at once, and I can do that at a lower level than an axe fighter, so meh, w/e, it is all up to you and your play style.

id keep the full end and stop soloing cause ull become a good tank :)

[ChaosSeraph]

Why stop soloing? its not like it really takes that long to kill.. maybe because im using a +6 zk 1h lol =D

I already have my next weaps made :P +9 2h sword lvl 40 and +8 GGK 1h sword +19str/+4end/+8spr with a green +4 sheild with +19str/+14dex

Oh... soo sexy =D

but Mara quests are levels 17-25, so at lvl 17 I would be a useless tank. not to mention mara KQ get filled up in 1-2 seconds and it's near impossible to get in ><

I hate you...no wonder you have no problems soloing...

[ChaosSeraph]

Yeah lol you just need to know how to make money in game ;) and in RL haha
cheat stones FTW =D

I been soloing full end as well, and it works good... at 22 i been going to sand hill by myself. I use all the scrolls and mobs hit me for 20-30dmg. I do alot more Kq, maras mainly. And actually... at lvl 18, i pretty much became the designated tank... Now 23 and every time someone sees me in maras, they dont even worry if we got a cleric or not... Between stones and the hundreds of pots i make, Id have to TRY to get myself killed... Or just not pay attention. Clerics heal me when i dont even need it, i dont think they realize it... 1k hp and over 250 defence at 23 is like a rock :D 2 handed weapons are also a good way to go if you do full end, it will make up for not having a sheild at higher lvls. You just gotta know what creeps you can handle and what ones your gonna waste stones/pots trying to kill.

haha who said mara kq is impossible to get in i went in all the time

After having heard of your full story, and your economy condition, whether or not you should go on with full END or SPR+25, rest STR. Maybe I can just share you some experience of mine using full END until now.

Oh, first of all, I am from Bijou server, and these days when I use my cleric to go for KQ, I can hardly see a good fighter (tanker). I am getting sick when going for King Slime KQ and Mara KQ and fail it because lacking of a strong tanker. My tanker was once very famous for tanking, but as you know when you are doing tanking, you cannot rely 100% on cleric's heal, you need to use your own stones or pots when neccessary. It is bad when I see those fighters in KQ are more towards damage dealer rather than a tanker, because they are not rich and having poor equipments and low HP, they will just get 1 hit KO by mara. My level 29 fighter joins golden hill KQ and I can tank well with my HP exceeds 1000 (no vit scroll), cleric's full buff and shield scroll, the last boss still can hit me with 350 to 370 damage. Imagine if I were not a full END tanker, I can't imagine the damage that I'm going to suffer and the amount of HP that I have, will it be able for me to take the damage?

For normal mobs, you do still need a shield with 1 hand sword if you don't want to suffer 3 digits damage. Imagine a full END tanker with only normal equipments still need a shield to cut down the damage, what if you are a pure STR fighter? So, this got to be re-considered carefully. Maybe we need some pure STR fighter to share with us their experience of soloing mobs, of course with normal equipments only ;).

By the way, I am happy with my full end tanker build because if I want to do some slightly higher damage, I will go for my 2 hand sword, otherwise for defending purpose, I will choose 1 hand sword.

Place of leveling:
Level 17 onwards, you can try sea of greed killing pirates. Killing ratman and boars to level till 20? It must be bored :D
Level 20 onwards, try grave robbers at burning hill, or kebings and joker kebings at luminous stone. Preferably you choose a good spot with no monster respawn for you to regenerate your HP and SP in the mushroom house.
Level 25 onwards, you can slay marlone megaton, marlone archers and marlone fighters with their damage on you only 15 to 30. (not the dungeon ones), as I still need to pump stones to kill the dungeons megaton, fighters and archers, I can say it is not say.
Level 28 or 29 onwards, you can slay bats, spiders and imp at moonlight tomb. Of course maybe you need to take some rest after slaying 1 or 2 monsters if you are not willing to spare your stones.

By the way, it is just my experience of using a full end tanker until now. Some of them who have gone further up level can share their views here too.

O well, grats on getting a full end tanker and thanks for the information XD

[-Leona-]

If u like soloing going for a full end tanker WAS indeed a mistake as in later maps a full end tanker will take ages to slay a monster.

AND again given the proper equipment even a full str fighter can do wonders tanking while equipped with shield :D.


THIS is just my opinion but if i were u i would buy stat reset and make my character a full str OR start a new fighter :p. BUT hey don't mind me, i'm the kind of person who totally thinks end is useless :p.

PEOPLE will come in and tell say, "HAVE u ever been hit by Mini Dragon or worse tank him" or, "have u ever tried to be the tank in an aoe party", my answer is yes i did them all and i'll bet u this. With the recent stat decrease i seriously doubt there are to many full end tankers with more than 1k defence ;) and even though i have no end in my build my defence is higher than 1k :D. It's easier to get extra defence points than it is to get extra damage points :), currently i'm level 6x ;)
