I play very casually and generally solo. I am looking for any info on good equipment that is possible to get solo, say level 20ish and below. Particularly weapons. Not necessarily good in the bigger picture, but the best a solo person is going to be able to achieve w/o buying from the shop.

So far I only know of weapons like Hackan's tinsmith's hammer and others 2d6-ish. One exception, if it still loads was a 2d7 stone bladed hatchet off of a barbarian near tarsis.

Thanks for any info!

Get 3d5 and better weapon with 20- char?
Not sure ...
If you prefer to play solo, make ocean scout or similar char (with low eq-dependency), level (lev-30 is recommended Smile

) and use it for poping eq

Not even 3d5, just something better than 2d6.

Good to hear I'm on the right track, I actually am an ocean Scout.

What is it about ocean scouts that gives them a low-eq dependency?

I was told that a 3d5 'basket-handled sword' loads on the undead kender king under Hylo. He always has the sword, but it usually turns to dust when he dies. If it does load it must be rare. He can be taken out by a level 23+.

Curious, thanks for the post. Do you know the stats of any of those items.

Thanks,

- 3d5 short sword in blood red
- 3d5 polearm in bog
- 3d6 axe in lemuria
- 3d5 obsidian-hilted long sword in tirabot
- 3d5 great bone hook in bullywug
- 2d7 axe in aghar

All not soloable at lev-20..25, but not so hard for mid-high group

I don't know if it's been changed, but I used to be able to solo Bullywug hag and get that hook, at around lvl 28.

There is a 3d5 (I think called bent pike) from a weapons rack in mound. You could get to it after killing the gully king. Only thing is it was -1 hitroll or -1 damroll I don't remember which. But the King could be solo'd by a ranger at lvl 25+.

One of the bosses of Dragonarmy Training Camp (forget the name), east of Kalaman loads a 2d8 bludgeion. Metal Rod or something. Also used to be solo-able by a ranger lvl 25+.

Where does 'large pole axe' load? It is one of the more common 3d5 weapons I can find in the shop.

THAT CAN BE LOAD by Other Individual Char? Like mage,paladin and so on...I am more of a solo guy too. Wink

1. Ice Reaver - if u have 21 str - 3d5

It would be great if any of you know where do these decent items load?
Quite magnificent actually, especially "Ergothian hand and a half sword and dwarven smasher"

Example will be leprechaun shillelagh, it's 3D5 blud with combat prowess.
Which load on Lorin. He is invisible. At kobold mines. (solace)

At the Forest Road, go 2nu,w all, 2n or 3n, look lorin. Lucky? U will get a four leaf clover (+hitroll or damroll) along 3D5 leprechaun shillelagh. Only for casters if I am not wrong. Lorin is soloable by 20s pala,mage and druid. You can try it out. Wink

Will be seeking for more information on DECENT soloable items!
