Sorry if this has been asked already, but I am a level 46 necro wondering what dungeons I can solo nameds in to get good chest drops? I was doing Varsoon and Crush until I dinged 46 now those guys are gray and won't give me cool chests anymore. I can do the last boss in Nek castle but only every 18 hours. So, are there any other dungeons/instances I can do? I'm not looking for solo instances, as they seem to always drop garbage, and my main goal here is good chest drops. Thanks for any ideas!

At level 46 you should be able to do Runnyeye Citadel in Enchanted Lands, Obelisk of Lost Souls (entrances found in Antonica, Commonlands, Feerrott and a couple other zones) and Ferrott there are a nice number of named or half named mobs that roam around who drop master chests. Given you have Tainted Heals already.

At your level i was doing RunnyEye - the second part, past the ^^^ eyes. There are 2 instances as well , one with the lvl 40^^^ Overlord and the other with a lvl 43 ^^^ eye. you can solo both provided you have the right combination of gear / spells / at least ad3 tank.

I was doing Runnyeye fairly well until the instance with the eye lord, but I also only have Adept I tank pet. Is it a huge difference between Ad1 and Ad3? I dinged 47 while I was in there though, so hopefully I'll be able to move on to better places soon.

Yes there's a huge difference. If there is one spell you MUST have at ad3 / master (if you can afford) level than your tank pet is that spell. Easiest way to do is is grab a rare and get a sage friend to make it for you. without ad3 tank you'll have a very hard life soloing especially triple ups names.

<p>So, what kind of gear/spells are we talking to be able to solo these dungeons?  I have all mastercrafted gear and nothing below adept 1 on spells yet I have a very hard time soloing any triple up heroic.  What am I doing wrong here?</p><p>Dradis 45 necro</p>

If you are then heroic triple ups are piece of cake. if you're not then yes you would have a hard time soloing anything.

<p>It also depends on how you use your spells and when. As long as your spells don't get resisted much you're ok. In dungeons it's important that you don't take on more than you can handle. I know it happens to get even 2 triple ups on you at the same time. Using a bit of strategy you can kill both. For example fear one, let it run away a bit then root it. turn your attention on the first and keep blasting it. every now and then refresh the root on the second heroic. As soon as the first is done you can start taking on the second. There are many strategies you can apply and if something goes wrong you always have FD to save ya skin. I am 60 now and still playing in T5 MC stuff and T5 jewerly. My int is getting close to 500 now. while 500 is not impressive it sure gives a nice mana pool and enough damage.</p>

Not to go off topic, but what about solo dungeons at lvl 56? I know there is one in SS, cant remember the name, near the docks. Is that doable solo? What else should I be heading towards?

So, what comes after RE and OoLS? OoLS is a lot smaller than I thought it would be haha. I haven't quite made it to the creator yet but that should be soon, and it's been overall pretty easy in there, and RE is just a cakewalk, but a lot of it is starting to be gray, as I just dinged 48. Thanks for the advice, running the heroic dungeons solo is pretty fun, especially on the tough bosses where you have to cast everything you can just to get that pet a few more hp.

It is close to the docks but I don't think it can be done solo (not 100% anyway) at 57. You have 3 arrows up names there ranging from 55 up to 60. The lvl 60 guy .. i like to call him Gollum <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. he attacks once you finish his quest and he is a tough [Removed for Content]. I did solo him 2 days ago but he was white to me (60 as well) and he hits the pet for quite a lot, plus resists some of the stuff in the manipulation line. All in all doable at 60 but I think you'd have to be very lucky to get him at 56. Let me know if you manage though. Perhaps it can be done with the right strategy. Oh and be sure you clear the crocodiles around him. You really don't want adds in this fight.

It was hidden cache, and yes I am too small.. So where to head mid-50's?

<p>been awhile so i kinda have frogot the name, In SS, there is a gravyard by the PoF zone line. The middle one to Pof. Its is eather a skeleton or a headstone you click on. It will take you to an instance. There are undead spectures you can charm in there and everything in pretty much 52ish +.  Also in the cleffs of rajark there is a instance called , the vaults of dusk. that is another easy one for mid 50s. I used to solo these alot before the pvp servers opened up on my Pve necro.  Tainted heals let alone any AA's were not around back then so it should be no prob soloing with the items and abilitys available to date.     </p><p>          On a side note..... The cache is a waste of pixels , I have only seen one master there and have only heard of 4 droping in there in the last year or so. Great xp , but no loot.</p>
