So I'm going to attempt to hijack this thread. Same idea though.
I started off playing here with a friend almost a year and a half ago. We took down all of Ssra, then ToV up to Vulak. We were stuck, and both quit for a while. I came back and got Air access from a friendly guild takng down Fennin to farm up some augs, then went back and I solo boxed (war, cler, shm, monk, bard, nec) all of the progression I could. I went to ST, then went back to kill Vulak, and just recently killed Xegony. I have downed Xygoz and Nexona (pre-revamp) in Veeshan, but have wiped to Silverwing and Hoshkar under enrage percentage. Even if I was to kill these two (and I'm sure I could with a couple more attempts at strat refining), my question is....
What is left for the solo boxer?
I can add more chars and try to take a shot at PD and Fear, but I'm afraid I won't get far in DS even if I was to somehow manage taking out PD and CT. Am I at the end of the line?
Any input is appreciated

Magelos for the main chars are in my sig, otherwise you can magelo tool the nec and bard.
Edit: My schedule is way too out there for a mainstream guild. I had to retire from raiding on live with a now top 10 guild due to my erratic hours. I wish this was an option, but guilds don't really like when someone doesn't show up for weeks on end

Another thought.. any thoughts on "alternate" access to tier 8? Maybe limit what items/spells/etc are accessible via this alternate access? A man can dream, right?!
