Solo capable mobs?

[FatRednekk]

Were the hell are they? anything but damn goblins.

[Jamboreen]

This is neither a suggestion nor an intelligent post.

This game was not built to cater entirely for solo players, this game was designed to Cater to players working together.

Why would you play an MMO on your own?

[turtledontcry]

heck I can't even solo in the goblin camp.

If for some odd reason I'm alone there, it's usually 3 goblin vs 1 me.

[scud43]

Trolls, ghouls, skeletons. 3 mobs I can think of off that bat that are pretty good for soloing.

In the orc/mahrim lands at least I know there are repeatable troll killing challenge quests where you get 180 gold for only killing 10 in an hour and an increased amount for every additional one you kill.

I have never expected much from irish people, this is why.

i asked a question in a discussion forum, good god what a travesty.

one soloable mob is CLEARLY catering to solo players

[Ondru]

As a human, I've had luck with hivekin near Sandbrook. They come in several varieties, though. If you're just stepping up from goblins, try to find a camp that's mostly or all hivekin foragers. There are some northwest and westish of Sandbrook. The soldiers are tougher, then the brood ones, on up to the queen. Beware: they all have ranged attacks.

never saw a camp with ghouls or skeletons.

and nice, but i've never made it orc or mahrim lands without getting killed

Incredibly useful for deciding where to go farm mobs.

I hate to admit it, but I completely rely on this map. Great for finding mobs/nearby banks.

[BluesFunk]

Skeletons, zombies, hive kind, bone spiders, flying snakes, trolls, kobolds, goblins, swamp hags. There are plenty of soloable mobs. You just have to seek them out.

haha, i'll have to try and make it to these places. my lame goblin item collection has overwhelmed me and my bank

[Makestro]

They are called players, and they tend to have good loot.

one soloable mob is CLEARLY catering to solo players

One Soloable mob is Catering to players new to the game who would get ROFLstomped every time they went near a harder mob, and considering the Goblins aren't exactly pushovers.

Your logic is flawed, and you made a racist comment about my nationality. Neither did you adress the fact that this thread is not a suggestion.

"Where are the mobs that are soloable" Is a question not a suggestion.

"There should be more Soloable mobs, in my humble opinon, because of factor A and B and it would do X and Y for the game" IS a suggestion.
I apologise for the Quoted Text, i sincerly thought this was the Suggestion Forum.

I apologise.

There are not many soloable mobs in the game i know about.

[FatRednekk]

i tend to run into groups of 5-6 players. not only that the ones i find that are alone are afk/resource grinding shit that i dont want/need.

Haha was actually just quoting u there while u musta been changing it. Do u support Celtic? and maybe you'll be forgiven

[Abremalist]

A city of trolls east of Chillborn, the city is on the water so its really easy to escape if they are smashing you down. Just jump in the water.

Watch out for the Troll Shamans, nasty range spells.

This place is not an exploit anymore, some Dev/Admin teached the Trolls how to cast ranged spells. ;)

[myrath]

Were the hell are they? anything but damn goblins.

There's undead & Trolls. Those are doable too.
I also ran into some swamp hags. But they appear slightly harder.

[Monde]

Hill Giants are NOT solo-able. OR maybe I just suck :)

[Abremalist]

Hmm.. no... and its also advisable to stay away from Bears. Or I might suck as well.

[MasterAqua]

if you can't solo 3 goblins(except maybe shamans) then it's just down to you

[KinkyGoblin]

Were the hell are they? anything but damn goblins.

Once you have killed the goblins and don the 'beginner' quest line, there is another quest linking to further mobs that are soloable but tougher.

In truth once your away from the starter areas solo play is difficult (though not impossible) and you will die a lot.

[Kin]

I can solo most things

[Musketeer]

I ran into some skellies I could solo just south of the Human capitol.

They were around some ruins.

:cool:

[Crimthann]

Some of the ones I solo are Mercian Highwaymen/Brawlers, Flesh Golems, Skeleton Knights & Giant Skeletons, Zombies, Lizardmen, Spiders, Trolls and Kobolds. So despite the unhelpful comments above (less a few) it's very possible to solo monsters, unless of course you just suck at things.

[Skraylok]

<Mercians, Spiders, Birdmen.... They are all soloable

[Wufiavelli]

bears are soloable, crogs too.

best tactic for soloing most mobs is to get them to chase you to where their habitat roaming area ends. The use arrows and kite them, run at them to bate them back when they run away and take refuge behind their habitat roaming area.

[zmyth770]

Zombies and skeletons are good to solo.

Well it just shows how little you know about the game. Shame you could not contribute.

To the OP: lost of soloable mobs sadly Gamkers lurk so its dangerous.

[Kvothe]

Mobs are broken as far as I can tell. Armor, at least for myself, does not reduce any damage mobs do, which obviously makes them hard to solo. Say what you want about how this game is suppose to be hard, but I'm pretty sure this is not how it's suppose to be.

Oh, so just because you can't solo everything in a Massively Multiplayer Online Game, means that it must be broken... Right?

[clockwork23]

There are a wide range of soloable mobs in the game, you just need to find the proper techniques.

[raff01]

Become a specialized caster, and I can guarantee that they won't stand a chance.

[Rodhull]

there are a wide range of soloable mobs in the game, you just need to exploit the rather buggy ai and find loopholes which force the atrocious ai to allow you to kill it.

fixed

[ninogan]

Skeletons, zombies, hive kind, bone spiders, flying snakes, trolls, kobolds, goblins, swamp hags. There are plenty of soloable mobs. You just have to seek them out.

Nice list. I would like to add hobgoblins to that list aswell. They are soloable once you have raised your skills and gotten some decent armor. You just need to pull one at a time.

[Dovregubben]

Bring a bow, loads of arrows, a decent staff and a lot of patience and quick reflexes and you can solo a wide variety of mobs. ;)

He said that they WEREN'T catering to solo players... you fail at reading comprehension, my friend.

[Rivers27]

With a decent bow and enough arrows, everything is pretty much soloable.

[Abremalist]

Still, group PvE is the way to go. You can get 10 K gold and a ton of various loot in three hours with a group of 7+. And that is attacking mobs that fight back, not exploiting helpless ones.

But the archer/caster spec is a good solo build.

[Virtra]

I am able to solo undead dwarves. It took a while to figure out the best strategy, but it's fairly wrote now. It just takes time to get good at things, no need to go around nerfing mobs.

[Milo Hobgoblin]

With a decent bow and enough arrows, everything is pretty much soloable.

ya only problem with that is it costs you five times as much in gold to kill them than you loot from em.

It is AMAZING how fast your burn through arrows in this game.

[tduerr]

In my opinion you can solo a lot of different enemies. You just can't run straight into the middle of the mobs. You have to have good armor, good weapons, and higher skills. The better you equipment and the higher your skill the higher difficulty level enemy you can handle. Soloing does take a lot more time than if you are with a group, but it all pretty much balances out.

[clockwork23]

I'm such a horrible player that everyone who can solo anything besides a goblin must be an exploiter! QQ.

There there, everything will be alright.

[Grampagreen]

In the orc/mahrim lands at least I know there are repeatable troll killing challenge quests where you get 180 gold for only killing 10 in an hour and an increased amount for every additional one you kill.

Which town (ork) has the npc for this quest?

[Crindle]

i think it is Lainstone.

[Heceldi]

A whole different tactic for soloing, allowing one to melee bears and up...

Jousting!

Hop on a mount, run to the bears, lean to the left, run past on the right, and swing and smack the bear as you pass. Turn around beyond, and repeat.

Your mount might get hit 1 in 3 passes, and you do bonus damage for being mounted.

Also good practice for when you'll be doing this to enemies. Works on a wide variety of stuff, just avoid casters. And don't forget to let your mount rest now and then so it doesn't fall over on you.

Bitchen' link! Thanks!

[VidarDf]

I'm sorry but the PvE in this game is pretty lame at higher levels.

I've seen mobs with honestly 300k life.

Impossible to kill without exploiting the current system. Its neither fun nor entertaining.

[nick larking]

Il name a few from top of my head that i can solo. (all without a mount)


goblins (all of them)
Skeletons (warrior, brittle(others?)
zombies (regular, warrior, dire)
Mercians (brawler, human at arms, and the ranger one)
trolls
Kobolds
flying snakes
svardergir (the regular ones)
centaurs
hobogoblins
lizardman
cave bears


Might have forgotten a few.
(this was when my skills were all below lvl 20 btw)

[FatRednekk]

i've never been able to make it very far without getting crushed by roaming mobs of players. but I have found some of these mobs you guys mentioned and its refreshing to kill some other beasts.

10k gold. woo.

anyway I don't think soloing is very effective in this game. Since even if you can solo something, you typically have alot of downtime from resting.

[Rodhull]

You can get 10 K gold and a ton of various loot in three hours.

Or you can get it in about 1hr with half the people by exploiting crappy AI and sprint running dungeons to farm the chests.
