Server first, solo, no hirelings and no pots

[arjiwan]

I don't know if it is done on other servers, I hope I am the first one on Cannith.

Cleric level 20, Elite Storehouse Secret.

I died one time because I forgot to turn on Quicken. I found out that Quicken + Heal or any Cures = Easy Button!
I hope it wont get nerfed though because it is so much fun.

Good thing I did cast Death pact on me so that after I died I managed to rez myself and complete the quest. Great recovery there on my part.

Death pact is so OP. Really...

Thanks all who helped me got this far. To all the solo completions in the forums that inspired me.

Believe me, it wont get boring challenging yourself. So guys, keep challenging yourselves.

Cheers all!

[TEcarson]

Congrats! Smart thinking on the Deathpact...I hate quests with no shrines!

[Lalangamena]

how did you managed to die?
you stripped naked and jumped from the crates down on your head?
the mice shouldnt be able to scratch you even on roll20...

[ThunderTank]

And i thought i was bored. Seriously '-'

[Ugumagre]

I bet you won´t dare do the same with "Stop Hazadill´s Shipment" on elite.
Only one shrine, but in elite you can use it only once!!!!

[arjiwan]

I think you mispelled "how did you managed to be awesome?"

I am new in these solo, no pots quests so I don't think I can easily do that.
I think it is possible if the Devs introduce the Radiant Servant Prestige 3, or if they give clerics domains. That would make that quest doable for me.

[porq]

Amazing. Keep up the good work.

[9Crows]

i would guess the death and the 124 minute completion time are related, they got him it just took awhile :)

[glouky]

As usual, you probably used a lot of major pots :(
Still give a +1 for been the first to provide screenshot of this acheivement.

[KutchemesTheDark]

I guess you wait 120 min. for red shaguain to kill you. Ultimate achievement. But it's nothing comparable 5 melee pug waiting for healer at under level 6 quests. They are master of patience.

[Senator]

Wow....... Congrats.

If you don't mind me askin ........ What build are you using ?

I have a level 18 ranger still stuck in snowy Korthos, i might LR to your build & finaly get to Stormreach!

With that time then lying down naked is most likely...2 uncleansed GS accessories would have done it much faster so long as you took one off just before dying and then did the lying down naked routine.

Good thing you asked! I was waiting for someone to ask me the build. It is really hard to replicate, you'll need to grind and grind and grind.

Level 20 Human Cleric
Stats:
Strength 8
Dex 8
Con 18
Int 8
Wis 18
Cha 8

Since no one "knows" in this forums that Con is not a dumpstat, we need to constantly tell ourselves Con is not a dumpstat. Yup, I don't think the guys who are reading the forums, and mostly posting here "knows" that Con is not a dumpstat. So again, so that you need to be reminded again, Con is not a dumpstat.

Feats:
1: Toughness, Human: E Healing
3: Maximise
6: Empower
9: Extend
15: Quicken

So as you can see at the feats, you need empower, because if you don't have empower, you will be a waste of party space. That's what I've learned so far here in the forums.

[MRMechMan]

Inspirational!

Many thanks will try this on my next toon.

Are you thinking of doing anymore Korthos quests soon?

It would be great if you could point me in the right direction with "Cannith Crystal"..........

Was in there last night *** a FULL group of level 20's & me level 18.... We had good epic gear ( one guy even had over 14 CON ........

Thing was though we had to recall after over 2 hours, because we didn't take a rogue...... no one had a high enough spot sill, so we couldn't find the lever to get into the next room where you have to protect some crystal !!!

Someone said they knew someone who had a friend that heard is cousin say that he had been in here before said that the switch was near the door? But even the guy with over 14 ~~~CON could not find it!!

Surely that can't be solo'd ?

[Pape_27]

I have to ask - How did you manage to complete this quest after you died?

I mean I understand the death pact part - good planning on that - but once you died you must have lost all your ship buffs.
How could this be done - especially on elite - without ship buffs?

Did you recall and rush to the airship and rebuff yourself and hurry back to KI?

Well anyways, Gratz on an amazing accomplishment!


edit: Oh - where did you find a solver for that floor puzzle? It always confounds me. Thanks!

Sometimes epic gear doesn't cut it anymore, since turbine upgraded the korthos quests so that there will be more challenge for bored vets. Also the quest level is arbitrary, doesn't mean the quest level is below 20, it can be done by 20's.

Good thing you asked, ship buffs helped a lot, but after I died and my guild buffs dispelled, I told myself I need to suck it up. You can also check that this achievement has 0 re entries.

Edit: Regarding the puzzle, I practiced the puzzle using online solvers, but when you get to the quest itself, it is entirely a different ballgame...

[Aurora1979]

how much mana do you have? no shrines in there must of been tough going. Im surprised you didnt have to recall and run to tavern to top up.

[grayham]

I did. I really did. Such a rare occurrence nowadays. I will come back and +1 you when I can.

[seobanio]

This thread is awesome. I am going to bring it to ooze/healings attention, he'll think this is hilarious i think.

[MsEricka]

I call hax. He obviously cheated and used a second computer to load up the impossibly complex solver and a map of the quest so he wouldn't get lost.

[arjiwan]

Ok, I'll admit something. It is not in reality "solo". I had my guildie on a different instance on a lower difficulty. She dictated the possible location and solutions to the map on a separate client.

But technically, by definition, it is still solo since, there are no hirelings and other characters on the instance.

Just stating the facts right...

[RandomKeypress]

I don't want to put down the OP's achievement, but lets not forget that he's got a blue bar. Sure, there's no shrine in there, but with a torc and con-opp he doesn't need one. All he needs to do is clear up to the boss fight and then use the trash to replenish his mana and he can start the boss fight with a full blue bar. It takes ages and looking at the time taken I think that that's what he did.

Do it with a toon without a blue bar - THEN I'll be impressed.

I agree with the Torc-Con opp combo. Yes, I did regen my mana that way and used a lot of heal scrolls to top me up. That's the only way to go zero pots or else I would've drank 10-15.

But regarding your comment about blue bars, here is what I can say:
Most of the achievements that I've seen are by powerful Warforged Arcanes and Powerful Favored Soul. Take note, and you gotta agree with me, it hasn't been done by a Non-TR Pure 20 (Non-monk split) Cleric.

[Miahoo]

Nice one!!

I just wonder.. how many pots did u use? Last time I tried this i went out of pots, and had to recall...

Keep up the good work! and I would like to see you trying solo (*~gulp~*) Elite Misery's Peak (*~gulp~*)!

The most humblest monster in the whole wide DDO Cannith Server of the whole wide world.

Thank you.


124min, you must have zerged to the boss, still i bet my capped sorcerer would break it in slightly under 122min. Nice work tho, you clearly lacking the offensive power of an arcane, and you still managed quite well.

I agree with you. Offensive fire power is really lacking with clerics. I casted my maximised/empowered/efficacied blade barrier, and the spider was like "What the eff dude? I am not going to run through that brosef". I think most of the minutes used in that quest was convincing the mobs to run through the blade barrier. I don't know if diplo/bluff/intimi works that way, I am still new to this solo acheivement quests.

[Putikk]

I really want a Toon, that can Solo Quests like this... RESPECT!!!

;P

[arjiwan]

I don't want to shamelessly bump my own acheivement thread (well I do).

I just want to remind everyone that challenging yourself is best.

I got a lot of private message (actually none) asking me why storehouse secret where there are more challenging quests available with less Duration.

I admit, Storehouse Secret has a very low Fun / Minute ratio, but definitely it has more Challenge / Minute ratio that I could think of. I don't want to run the exact numbers for that ratio, I'll let the Math Forum Junkies calculate that for me. (Thanks in advanced)

And lastly, what I like in Storehouse secret is, it has a guaranteed Scroll drop on every completion, or prior, whatever...

That is a very nice game mechanism that I admire. A guaranteed Scroll reward. So for all the other scroll farmers that is bored now because you are avoiding Sands Epic quest like a plague, you can scroll farm here at Storehouse Secret. But you must do it solo, because someone can ninja loot it without a roll.

Cheers Cannith!

Its 17. I cant put all the calculations on here, its a really long sum. But the answer is 17.

Nice! However, I see that's a 32-point build. Do you think it's possible to pull off something comparable on a 28-point build? If so, how would you suggest doing it?

[JakLee7]

I am disappointed in this build.
Why not halfling?
Why not throwing specc'd?
How can you show your face on this forum?

It is very hard and tricky for a 28-point build. Just do some favor runs and upgrade to 32.

Why not a Warforged FVS?
Why not Half-orc barbarian?

One word: They are OP.
