At what point does the game become un-soloable?Follow

As a Mage or necro or druid you can probably solo all the way to 70, maybe even a beastlord why you would want to other than loot or in between groups i dunno Learn to chain summon if you play a mage,,,

Ranger solo gets tough when you run out of fearable animals. After that you bow kite. You do have AM3/EQ don't you? LOL It gets real slow. Happens in the 50s? When Stonebrunt (the Ranger's Paradise) greens out.

I mean, why do you think I box a Cleric and Chanter, lol. I started out boxing the Druid for healing and buffs and ports (pre-PoP, pre-spires even) and moved on to the support staff once he couldn't keep up anymore.

Natimbi, PoN, Western Wastes (get your CoV faction up so you have the change of scenery) ... bank lots of AAs before you hit 59.

You could solo a bard to 70 but I can't imagine you'd enjoy it much. I've always been able to solo but, at high levels, most mobs have so many hitpoints that it becomes a chore to do it for experience. I mostly solo my bard for farming, loot or just to try to kill a particular mob.

The point in which the game becomes unsoloable depends on a lot. Your class, obviously. Your level of gear. Your skill in the class. And what you're willing to accept as downtime. I could potentially take down low, low dark blue mobs with my rogue but I'd be resting for 15min per kill which I don't find acceptable.

Beastlod seems to be underrated in this thread. They can easily solo to level 70 and go almost to any zone they wish.

Necros are by far the best solo xp'ers followwed by wizzie and beastlords.

EQ really isnt a solo game. Although like you I enjoy my yime alone the game really isnt setup for it. Also xp soloing regardless of class really slows in comparison to groups in the mid 50's.

Good Luck.

Bards, Beastlords, Chanters, Druids, Mages, Necros, Rangers, Shaman, SKs, and Wizards could all solo to 70..........but it wouldn't be fun

I play a cleric and can solo eairier at 70 then I did at 60. Point being any class can be soloed if you want the put the time into it. However EQ was designed and remains a game that is supposed to use group dynamics.

Can you solo to 70? yes but why.

As a ranger you could solo to 70 but it'd be slow and tedious after 50 or so. If you want to get there the fastest way go with Necro the other good solo classes are mage, wizzy, shammy, dru, and bst. Sence you chose ranger you'd prob like beastlord the best because it's realy the only other hybrid close to a ranger. If you chose dru you can solo the most kind of ways sence they can dot, nuke, charm, root/snare, and have some pretty good buffs. But you'd probibly want to go with bst the only big disatvantage they have in any situation is that they have no gate, but if you learn to work your warder right it'll be no prob.

A Ranger can solo at 70 (albeit slowly and painfully) but I seriously doubt could "solo to 70".

The difference being the level of armor and weaponry that is needed.

Bazaar bought gear just will not cut it, I doubt even if you spent hundreds of real dollars and bought the stupidly over priced crafted items with augs, that you would be able to assemble the needed combination of AC, HP and Focus effects.

Although, the introduction of the new potions (heal/clar/etc etc) can help, maybe if you are super patient, you may find a way. But I suspect that sooner or later you would hit the equipment barrier and have to do DoN and DoD missions to at least get basic gear for the higher levels.

Regularly soloing DoN and higher mobs unslowed in bazaar gear would be very difficult for a ranger, if not impossible.

Although now that I think about it, some PoP mobs will give you enough exp to level to 70 and could be soloed. Might take the rest of your life to get there though.

Yes, quite likely, but you'd be kiting light blue mobs for the most part, hence the "rest of your life" comment.

have watched rangers bow kite in fire.
