Help for solo progression

Post by Ninafae »

good evening,

i am a 79 mage with 1200 aa point and mostly geared in elegant defiant armor.
i startet casual playing like 3 month ago and went up form 68 to 76 in paw, and 76 to 79 in katta. made like 700 aa in that time so those two places are kinda boring after that time i spend in there.

so i need some advise for kinda fast regular exp to catch up a bit. since my playing times are kinda odd i mostly run around solo. so what would be nice places to solo/molo from 79 up? and what would be the follow up gear to my elegant set?

thanks for some help in advance.

Just me but I'd start trying to get some Seeds of Destruction gear from Field of Scale, that would hold you over until you can get some house of thule stuff. Here's some information from Rasper's about it:

I'd also recommend (if you can) do tier 5 in seeds of destruction so you can have your tier 5 merc.

Named in Field of Scale will pose problems but it is possible. When you are pulling a named keep these things in mind.

Keep your cleric merc on reactive.
Pull with malo.
Make sure your earth pet is as buffed and decked out as you can get it.
Alternate between casting Aegis on your pet and casting a gargoyle pet, nuke in between if you have to wait for a spell refresh.
If you get a named and an extra mob do a gargoyle pet and gate asap.

Alternatively (something I spaced yesterday) is if you're ok with your current gear go get the Jonas Dagmire's Skeletal Hand while you're levelling up. It's a fun quest (imo at least) and it will help you get a couple of good interim TBS spells. Here's the quest: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/ques ... quest=4188 If you do this quest make sure you get all the tasks for a particular island when you go to that island. Here's another write-up for it (although neither is 100% spot on they'll give you a good place to start) http://samanna.net/eq.progression/prog. ... hand.shtml . Doing the entire TBS quest should get you close to 85. Bonus at the end of the entire thing is an aug that'll you'll have for a very long time.

Also if you are pulling, put the pet on guard somewhere safe and make sure you drop your damage shields so you do inadvertently start the mob summoning if it happens to stun you somehow and then gets damaged enough by the DS to go into summon mode.
