I finally did mine at 68, Had the money and AH mats pretty cheap actually, even the diamond so all in all it was much cheaper than the standard epic, around 500G or less, give or take, and at 68 I didnt realize I still got mad xp for it, so I dont know it the questline gives you gold or not for those parts, but I had the mats like I said at 60, could never find anyone to help. PLayed to 66,quite the game about 6 months, came back got to 68 and said I HAVE to have the charger, still had all the mats and money, so I started reading up and lo and behold, I actually posted a long diatribe about it a month or so ago in these very forums to a person who asked if they could solo it.
I soloed EVERY part even up to the part of the final showdown with the deathknight, yes I said it LOL, meaning I soloed to clear the room.
At 68, it takes time and you will die alot, but you can bypass alot of mobs in Strat, and with patch 2.3, the GOOD boxes even glow for you. Usually right at the beginning you can get at least 2 of the five. Got in a little further and was able to hug the walls and get a third. If youre lucky you may get more drops from one crate than I did, one a piece. THen I would reset the instance, usually the easy ones are gone and you do have to fight the initial mobs, and if you plan carefully you can fight selected ones, just remember healing pots and also I dont think I couldnt do it any other way that PROT with the AOE tools like reckoning, using seal and judge of light and wisdom, I was able to get through most without much trouble.
FOr scholo, if you dont have the key like me you can kill yourself outside the front of the instance and rez inside, just make sure to take your gear off and you can fight the first mobs and to the right or left of the bridge jump to the farthest corner near where thebridge starts, and you might drop on one mob which is fine solo, then hug the wall to the little entrance to the next room to the right if you dumped down left from the bridge or left if you jumped down right. You can walk right down the middle, only thing is to pick off the pats, I used exorcism and killed them one at a time, and just walked to the dragonkin room picked off the first one and his handler right there, hugged the wall to the left and dropped down in the hole where the actual fight happens. Using Exorcism I picked them all of one at a time til I had the boss which was fine solo, forgot his name.
Now this is the only part I didnt solo, as I finally had someone to help another 70 pally, just him and I. Afterwardss I think I could have done it myself. AS I had tried one time to solo it, but the waves of spirits, the first wave, threw me off and I freaked. When I had the other pally with me and we got through t he first wave the other waves were really a joke, as you can sit and drink and bandgae, heal whatever between. The the deathdarknightreaver guy, I thought was pretty soloable at 68, so in retrospect I might have done it solo, but to save some time and effort, you dont need a huge group or anything.
Just periodically do the couple of waters in strat at a time, or try all in one setting, then do the scholo. If you dont havea key and have a friend its hard even for a pally naked to jump down and kill ourselves, a lock can hellfire themselves rez on the inside and pull the lever for you. or if you do bring a friend preferably 70, you can dual, then run up the stairs and finish yourself off by jumping down.
THe other instance is DM, which you only have to make sure the PATS are all killed which are soloable, and make sure you run around a few times and when you fight stand against the wall as they have a knockback, and make sure they are all gone, as I had some I thought were all gone only to find one straggler. THen the last guy, you may have to use a cooldown and pots, but the main guy is soloable, I was 68 so you may have more ease of all this at 70.
WHen you get the mount, its just an amazing feeling, I never would consider one of those plain epic horse mounts, elleck perhaps LOL, but not horses, rams or really any other mount. Plus, for me, it was considerably cheaper.
Ooops, I went on more than I intended LOL, I would help in a heartbeat but Im on another server.
