how much ee on weapon and armor is reqired to solo from 55-71?
without heals just with shrines

174

lowest that i can think of was it being done with a 60ee level 30 sword, which comes out i believe in negative ee, seeing a plain level 55 weapon does more damage than it. Think they used a level 40 armor with about 80ee, so that counts as about 20ee.

it took them in the regions of 10 hours with large regen breaks but yes, can be done with literally negative ee.

Perhaps some of the buffcore players have had similar experiences of being unable to find a level 55 weapon but still mq'ing anyway



Personally i'd recommend a minimum of 60ee for a lvl 55 weapon or 80ee for a level 50 weapon and use a strength or dex armor with around 100 vit. more vit = higher health = more mobs killed before needing to regen.
Also seems to give more health from using the shrine
Personally dont find ee armors actually that impressive to fast for levelling


The lowest i actually use is a 140ee level 45 polearm, which is similar to 100ee level 55 weapon and i get the job done in under an hour

Depends on the Tier of the items ... I have solo'd using a Warhammer (level 45) with 49 EE on a lot of occasions, even a level 35 Longsword with 124 ee (this would roughly be 35% ee level 55 Longsword) BUT, they deal double damage, and downside SLOW (1.8 sec delay compared to 1 sec delay normal weapons).

But the lowest ee items and going to mq ... 0% EE up to like 15% EE ... some of these weapons weren't even level 55 when I was playing Bufcore ... I still have that character after 7 Master Quests using self found gear.



Around 75% ee + with stat gear and items being around the same as your character level.

i did my last one with 45 dagger 84ee and 30 scale 98ee

tyvm but not talking about the bare minimum just for a decent speed

lvl 38 atm and was just thinking how much is reqired to solo to mq ;D

well, what is "decent speed"? how quickly are you looking to do it? the polearm example should be adequate and as said, 60ee is my recommended minimum which is around a solid 2-3 hours of play, depending on stat build, whether or not you explore or whistle and which armor used.



also your original question is "how much is required" which is answered by the first 3 lines.
so not sure how you read the first 3 lines then ignored the stuff which had already answered your new question.

so 100ee weapon+ 100ee scale/leather + stat charm should be doable for a rouge?

and for cata groups? is 100ee on both get me in a medium speed group?

yes, around the 2 hour mark, level 55-65 in around 3 mins per level, 65-71 more like 5 mins per level.
This also presumes you shrine all the trash you get,
this doesn't apply in your case due to poor stat placement


just a reminder you should be trying to use dexterity items with a staff/dagger
given the fact you statted strength rather than dex on a rogue probably means you're going to take 3-4 hours, or should be considering clubs/swords, even then if you were going clubs, should have ran a barb really.
barbs run with 120 useful starting stats (60 str, 60 vit), rogue only 95 (60 dex, 35 vit) and in your case statting a tonne of strength either 106 useful stats at level 39 if using a strength wep, or 126 if using a dex wep.

At this point i still suggest you want a minimum of 75 vit even if using ee armors. so will basically want all vit all the way to 75 now anyway

Yes, but with the group, they may ask for you to wear stat armor and sit in the back if they have a better tanker.

Well, that is my thought on it.



You forgot Axes that use both Str & Dex
