I was under the assumption from your post that it was a "single" character, NOT "two" characters. this was your post that I thought it was bufcore similar, however it isn't:



edit: this implies 1 character... note 2, so note that 2 passes = Paladin and not a Rogue but a Samurai on 2 characters.

I see where you saw that now.
I just was competing to get to MQ twice. Wasn't planning on passing 2 MQ's.
My new goal however will be for Monk so that implies that I'll be passing those MQ's. Sorry for confusion.

All good. I have issues with Bufcore with SC toons. I personally went out of my comfort zone to wish you luck in your endeavor to be slightly annoyed based on MY interpretations since I am playing HC just like you are with two characters vs my 13 HC toons solo'ing.

A little update for anyone that cares.

I've now FDF'd pally 4x now. Lvl 72-75 are quite a grind now with my gear, but I'm managing.

Some best drop updates:

Mystical mithril sword
Level Req: 25
Damage: 38 to 380

+134% Enhanced Effect
+4 Vitality
+1 to 13 Life per Kill

Still using this sword for MQ. Would really like an upgrade as it's just marginally better than XIV white sword.

Just found this club in a well yesterday

Magical runewood club
Level Req: 20
Damage: 66 to 298

+118% Enhanced Effect

This staff will be really useful when I get to my Monk.

Magical runewood staff
Level Req: 20
Damage: 70 to 187

+113% Enhanced Effect

This is my current MQ armor and charm

Magical dragon skull scale armor
Level Req: 55
Physical Defense: 27 to 110
Magical Defense: 16 to 48

+15 Strength

Rare ice VII
Level Req: 20
Spell Damage: 40 to 48
Mana Cost: 53

+25 Strength
+1 Critical Strike

Would really like to find a MQ armor with EE but these will do for now.

I've almost reached prof 9 for sword.
Hoping to get the Monk soon and then I'll set my next goal.

Everything is 100% solo self-found.

Back to the grind!

I personally don't want you to pass to Monk ... reasoning is about what you have collected and how you are going to build that monk & play style changes.

Melee + Heal Monk?
Caster + Heal Monk?
Pure Melee or Caster?

Have you collected enough items from level 1 to Master Quest as a Monk that uses Dagger / Staff & Spear? Did you get some casting charms and +Int robes or other items? Casting charms? Healing charms?

Hope you saved a lot of those items for a Monk climb.

I have a bunch of items saved in vault for Monk. Nothing amazing, but should get me through. I have a Padded Robe XIV 36 EE to help too.
It'll be more of a grind, but I think I can do it. Just will take like 6 hours to get from lvl 70-77 I would imagine.

Edit: From the gear I have now it'll be 100% Melee. I haven't found any good heal charms or caster gear for MQ.

Dude, what is your total time spend to get here, your 25 sword is pimp but GODDAMN

More time than I'd like to admit

I started Oct 17th.

I know this post was from a while ago but I’m doing this currently and what I’ve noticed in my very new adventure here I keep making characters when I reach lvl 15/20 and continue to level them up hoping to find better gear so 30+ isn’t such a nightmare 😂 fun tho

That's a good strategy for sure. I died a couple of times on my 1st attempt so it was an auto re-roll for me by the rules I made for myself. Doing those rerolls was what helped me finish my 1st MQ.
Good luck with your strategy.
