    Default Soloing amrath quests (on an exploiter)?

    I'd like to start soloing Amrath quests for ingredients and need some tips.

    My character is a drow exploiter - AC is about 70 self buffed on AC mode.

    So, what quests and at what level would you recommend I should be ok running? Any quest specific tips? Would bringing a healer hireling be a good idea or a bad idea (from a scaling standpoint)?

    Thanks

    if you have the UMD, use heal scrolls between fights. In sins of attrition, you might find yourself retreating and throwing heal scrolls during fights, others like a new invasion and bastion you should be able to heal in-between fights.

    practice makes perfect; don't be discouraged when you make mistakes, keep trying. soloing amrath on an exploiter is a hell of a lot of fun.

    u really dont give much information on ur char. so its hard to help u out without knowin if u have gear on, if ur a dps build or a tank or heal build cause the missoins out there will let u get away without some classes or skills and in some missions but others like BoP *bastion of power* u need the whole combination of heal dps and tank of some kind.

    for quest that are the shortest two out there
    weapons shipment and wrath of the flame will let u solo / higherling on casual and up to normal

    sins of attrition can be soloed by skilled players who know the map the mobs ect or is grouped.(best bet to get shroud ings )
    Gp *genesis point* is at least a 2 man cause u have to split up one controlling the doors up top while the other runs the maze.

    new invasion i dont run enough to remember myself so cant help but

    Sins, since you can ransack 12 end chests. Granted you may not want to make 42 runs of the same quest each week...but you can. And IMO, Sins is the easiest Amrath quest to burn through for farming.

    The only ones I haven't solo'd are Genesis Point (need to be two places at once) and Weapons Shipment (too boring).

    Sins isn't that Bad as long as you can mitigate the incoming damage. New invasion isn't that bad as long as you can be smart about the end boss. I've solo'd both of them on hard. Bastion of Power I've only done once and it was a pain, I'm not stealthy enough to sneak past some of the trash so I had to fight my way through.

    My self-buffed AC is a sustainable 67 with PA on and haste, no yugo pots or recitation wands. The Point of a loot-run is to make money and keep the expendables cost low. Below is a crappy video I made killing everything in the dinner table in Sins, it's a good example as it shows the buffs I throw on myself.

    Stuff that makes this eaiser:
    - 65ish AC - the higher the better but this number gets you missed most of the time. That 65 is BEFORE FE bonus
    - Blur wands. Keep Blur on at all times
    - Displacement Scrolls. Only last 30 seconds but you can kill a lot of **** in 30 seconds
    - Stack of haste pots.
    - Shield/Night Shield wands/clickes: Magic missles are a pain.
    - Deathward Clickie. The Cinderspawn and some of the Chickens Energy Drain.
    The Superior Ador belts help, I typically don't need Heal Scrolls with these upping my CSW to 80-100.

    In Sins as an example I usually gather a gaggle of mobs, pop a Displacement scroll, drink a hast pot, and murder them all. Rinse and repeat your way to victory.

    Regarding weaponry, I've found vorpal and main hand and lighting II Insight weapon in my off-hand to be the best combo.
