Subject: RE: [eqbards] Re: It's too quiet for a bunch of musicians


I soloed from level 1-5 in West Freeport and East Commons.

From there on I NEVER soloed. Personally I find EQ to be an AWFUL solo
game. It's only the social aspect - and the interaction and strategy
between the player classes that I find interesting - ESPECIALLY for the bard
class (where our strength is that we can fill in for so many other classes).

If I want to solo - I fire up Civ3 - it's a MUCH better single-player game.

I understand that a lot of people will want to game for a 30-60 minute
session - and the difficulty of finding a group and getting setup precludes
that (especially if you are unguilded or in a small guild) - but again -
that's when I play some Civ3 (or whatever game it was in the past)...

What'd be really great would be if a couple of real pros would list
where they soloed for each level(s) on their way up, like "from 12-16
I killed monsters in zone X through melee, then up to 20 I kited Pink
Volvo Demons who conned yellow, then..."

I've actually started my own list just to find out where to solo
at "higher" levels (people try to say you should give it up after
about 12th, but I prefer solo)...Soloing Everquest,
http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/soloing/

I'm going to post what I know about soloing, and data I'm
accumulating, like lists of soloable MObs (monsters) for each level,
tricks for soloing better (how to automatically raise your sense
direction, forage, mend, and other skills as fast as possible, no
button-clicking required), and other stuff.

My hope is that both people with questions and people with advice
will join the list and post, and we can get a really good
infosite/faq going after a while.
