Quickest or “Most Soloable” Dungeons

lygerseye

I purposely avoid using the Dungeon Finder, so I’m just soloing dungeons for my event tickets. I usually just run normal Crypt of Hearts... But even that’s going to get old quickly. What other dungeons do you consider the quickest/easiest? Solo or otherwise?

Fungal Grotto 1

Dont_do_drugs

coa I - i am sure fungal is even easier, but since i have been farmen coa I solo like hell for gear on my mag chars i am just so used to it.

Have not tried it yet but you might be able to run to the last boss in Fungal Grotto I. Someone who tried will tell. Gonna try it tonight though.

Merlin13KAGL

Fungal Grotto I.

BC I is easy, but you'll spend a lot of time chasing the boss.
CoA I is easy, but you'll have to travel the map just to unlock the way.

FG I you can pretty much cut straight to the end and call it a day.

fossoyer

FG1, DC1,COA1

Jimmy

COA 1 on normal probably the easiest.

Tan9oSuccka

Fungal Grotto 1.

This was super easy even on the “unplayable” Mag Sorcerer.

Bashev

I solo arx corinium for the tickets.

FG1 is the fastest because can skip 2 bosses and a lot of adds by jumping off the cliff in the last room. There is a little spot near the last bridge where you can get out of the water, and get directly in front of the last boss without aggroing any mobs.

AcadianPaladin

Agree with all the above recommendations and would add Elden Hollow I.

This.

Even without skipping the last couple bosses, my Magplar can solo this dungeon (normal mode) in under 10 minutes.

Got to kill War Chief Ozozai to unlock cavern door to progress and then jump over waterfall to Kragh,but still very quick.

Wayrest 1 is easy but not quick - at least for a tank. The inspector has a lot of adds which are tedious at low DPS.

Bashev

I just finished normal arx corinium for 8 minutes with my pvp Sorc build.

Joy_Division

City of Ash 1 is the solo dungeon of choice IMHO because it's easy and can get a very good drop (burning Spellweave Inferno staff)

I do Spindleclutch 1 but on my Templar...…….

Jabby, Jab, Jab!!

Those spiders love to hide Decorative Wax!

I often wonder where mudcrabs hide Destruction staves or swords?

Take the loot. Ask questions later.

How do you deal with ghost/banshee (room with 3 altars and 2 scrolls)? It has inescapable stun/dot/kill mechanics. You need at least 2 more people (or probably 1 crazy fast).

Didn’t do anything special. Avoided red areas where possible. Killed ghosts fairly quickly. I did get stunned a few tines but was never in danger of dying. Perhaps it is the build - I have high physical and spell resistance. Took an age for inspector to go down but got there eventually. By the way did it on normal.

I just completed Fungal Grotto on my Mag NB. First time I'd been in there, killed everything, took abt 15 minutes. Lots of AOE and Ultimates. But trust me on this, if I can do it, anybody can.

It is very satisfying killing all the spiders in there.

WR1 does not have that mechanic; I solo it routinely. It is WR2 that has the stun which requires others to hit altars to free you; I can't get through that one with less than a trio.

Well that explains why it wasn’t a problem. Is WR2 the veteran mode of WR1?

Jaraal

Direfrost Keep is very easy to solo. Just be sure to Break Free the second the last boss starts lifetapping you.

Ah, yes, I think I understand - it's your tank build that saves you. On non-tank builds we can't even outheal her in pair: first damage ticks are no problem at all - 100% hp, but the last tick - insta-kill. On normal btw, with max health food and about 300 CP. So I wouldn't say WS II (edited: it's actually about WS2...) is easy for solo. Tank build requirement (or close) isn't very easy.

Ehm... I was sure it was WS1... But yes, there were siblings as a final boss, so it probably was WS2. Sorry for confusion.

No, it's a different version/continuation of WS1. They both have a veteran version.

I solo Blessed Crucible looking for this troll king motif thing. It’s not bad. You can skip the huge add waves in the middle. Still don’t have the Motif.

Time wise, I think Fungal Grotto may be the fastest.

Haven't done a comparison but I did vet CoA1 solo a few times. Actually can solo it fast enough to get the speed run. It's sad.
