I know it's group focused right now, but what's the solo experience like right now? Just getting into the game.

    Slow grind of mobs and/or resources (not minerals), soooome questing, barely any gear outside of that questing, no caravans, no pvp (or immediate death to a group), no elite mobs cause YOU DIE.

    That's roughly it. I personally love it :)

    I would recommend a Cleric. You can easily solo farm in plate with a smart dmg/heal rotation. You can also jump into parties easily (just spec for main heal) and fk off when youre tired of people :)

    basically barely anything and whats there is super grindy ,not worth it and super hard so doing anything solo is almost impossible and if u do you're not gonna get anything out of your time played as u will be making barely any progress at all even if u play 10 hrs a day ...etc that kind of stuff its horrible

    That pretty much sums it up.

    AoC is harsh and punishing for a solo player. But it feels all the more rewarding. All of my friends almost quit while waiting for P3, save a few that are trying some new archetypes, so I am play testing ranger more or less entirely solo out of boredom.

    There was a great spot in Johva in phase one with some frogs. You could gather up a bunch of them and AOE them down. Even worked on bard. I was able to solo all the way to level 15 on those frogs. I think I started at like level 6 or 7. It was great because I kept all the glint and it kept me on my toes. It was not a mindless grind.

    Well the frogs are gone now and soloing sucks.

    This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.

    Ive played 3 classes and can solo from 1-25 on them all. I kept up with the population outside of the ppl who game 20 hours a day.
    25 cleric can kill most things solo its slow auto attack and heal while going with a few spells
    25 rogue bit harder but can solo, mana drain, poison/heal pretty strong
    25 ranger if you have room to kite around can also do solo, with the right setup can keep mana up and not get hit at all.

    Seen warriors doing solo leveling too. Hope that helps.

    I'd suggest playing econ solo, but not mob farming solo. Very slow pace and low yield.
