As far as I know, a 55hp mesmer not only costs less (5 runes = 500gp, thx) but can clear more of UW than a solo monk. This is not a guess by the way, unless solo monks have way of interrupting Lingering Curse (10s recharge, people!) that I don't know about

Best farming char = warrior
2nd place = I'd say necro, AotL/DA is pretty awesome
3rd = Monk and mes are fairly close

For UW you need a 55 and a necro.

Man you don't have to solo every little bit of the whole Guild Wars map to get good drops. Go to an area GRAB HENCHIES, a high level area and just do relentless killing runs.

I'm thinking about the Paladin. He is excellent at surviving (I think) but I'm still not sure about soloing. Any suggestions are welcome

Once you get all your skills a warrior/ranger is an excellent solo build.... I also like the Ele/Mo or Me/Ele solo builds but they are more difficult to perfect.

ive been wondering about this, (very new, been playing about 3 months)

does haveing henchmen affect drops, or do you really have to be "solo", as in no AI in group

sorry to hijack been wondering

Wicked Shadow · Mar 07, 2006, 04:45 PM // 16:45

Having henchies affects drops just as much as having people in the party. They take their share, it just doesn't appear to drop. Soloing is the only way to ensure you get every possible drop.

Arknow · Mar 07, 2006, 04:51 PM // 16:51

good to know for sure, TYVM

Nerubz · Mar 07, 2006, 06:12 PM // 18:12

So my conclusion is: cheapest & ONE of the most effective = Me/Mo (or Mo/Me? correct me).

In fact, a 55 monk + every other proffesion is good at solo eh? *confused*

I think this should all be irrelevant to you at this point. Right now, you should just make the character that seems like it will be the most fun, and go play. You'll easily make enough money to have good armor and weapons thoughout the game, as long as you don't spend it frivolously.

By the time you've gotten to a point where you could benefit from making serious money, you'll be immersed in the game enough that you'll be able to answer your own question, because you'll understand the enemies, and the skills you'll have available.

This game is soooo not about saving money before you can play. Quite the opposite. Save the farming for later, trust me.

IMO best char for soloing= 55 monk
IMO cheapest char for soloing either paladin or w/me

Maria The Princess · Mar 07, 2006, 07:01 PM // 19:01

guys hes new! to be 55hp monk you gotta have alot of experience! just start from a ranger (you can get a pet and thats like anouther player for you that doent get drops) or be warior, after you get to know the game do a minion master necro or 55 monk...

Whitefeather · Mar 07, 2006, 07:03 PM // 19:03

In what ways are people using W/me to Solo?

Other than just Energy management/interrupts?

Black out warriors? etc?

Whats the basis on that one.

Charqus · Mar 07, 2006, 07:23 PM // 19:23

w/me can be soloed by using armour buffs e.g. phys resistance
