Using the solo boxing guide as a reference, what advice would you give to a truly solo (+bot) player? (tl;dr at bottom)
I started new on the server just about a month or so ago. I have never been good at boxing, and the pc I use to play on struggles with more than 1 client running, so I pretty much solo exclusively. I was pulled in by the use of bots on the server, and so far, I am loving what I have been able to accomplish so far with my pally and cleric bots (I'm a ranger... I know I should probably use my warrior, but main was ranger on live so I wanted to start with something I knew). It's a lot of fun, and even some of the "tedious" tasks don't seem so tedious on this server (I NEVER tradeskilled on live, lol). I know I am probably an extreme minority when boxing is really so easy nowadays, but I do love the server, and have thoroughly enjoyed experiencing even the small sliver of custom content the server has to offer.
So, anyway, there are a few encounters in the guide where it would have been easy for a group to handle at the level that was recommended, but as a solo player is much more difficult. For example, Rowe and Rowi for the Charm 2.0: I could not safely solo those 2 until I was into my 50's and had already upgraded to chaotic armors with some non-vis named drops from guk.
How much higher would the gear/aa/ reqs for these encounters be for a solo player to have a good fighting chance, ie 1.5, solo aura quest, kael, etc.?
Right now I am realizing that LDoN is a real good place for me and I am looking at gearing up there (I am even sitting in the bazaar as much as I can when I'm not playing). I'd like to be able to finish my 1.5 and get the Chardok Royals to get the Charm 3.0 soon.
So in the whole scheme of things is this the route that I should be taking? And how do I know when I am at a good spot to start working on the next tier of encounters?
Sorry for so many questions all at once, I guess it's just the last month of playing and discovering what the server is all at once, lol.
TL;DR: Anybody want to write a truly solo (+bot) guide?
