Can a Brawler solo CW?

Zestroia · July 2016

Hi, I'm interested to farm some extra gold with some gold hunter boosts. - I need the gold. I swear. - and I was thinking IF it is viable and good for a normal player like me, with my main Brawler, to try and solo CW for it's drops. BUT I do have some questions first, so let's see.

1. Has anyone ever did this? - with any class -
2. Are the drops and the gold that is dropped the same like it is when you're in party with other two people?
3. Hunter Gold Boost is worth on that?
4. Atm I have Slaughter weapon+12, Slaughter Belt, Slaughter Armor+12, Dreadnought Gloves+12 and Dreadnought Greaves+12 - currently working my [filtered] to make the mw boots of the slaughter gear +12 and the gloves +9 and then mw them too - is this build viable?
5. Anyone has some other, better, viable option to help me save time and/or probably do a terrible mistake?

Thank you for your time, and please, honest and good answers, don't like saltiness and sarcastic comments. <- yay.

1. I've done this before on my Gunner (+12 Dread everything) and my Ninja (+9 Slaughter everything except weapon, which is +12 Slaughter), and I've had a friend solo the whole thing with his zerk in +12 Slaughter gear. Just be careful, because it can hurt if you mess up too much. I don't know how viable the Brawler's blocks are against the AOEs there, as I've never leveled mine past 24 (at least, not yet).
2. The drops are all the same; the only difference is that you don't have anyone to share with ;p
3. I haven't tried any gold boosts yet, sorry
4. #1 had a list of my, and my friend's, gear; ultimately this is up to you and how comfortable you feel with what you've got.
5. I'm not too sure if you're looking for anything else, aside from the gold and CW drops, but it doesn't hurt to try it once. Once you get the hang of it, it's kinda fun IMHO lol

I think that about sums it up for my own personal experience.

P.S.: also, you get 2 golem buddies to help you. same guys from if you have a party of 3, but if you're really eating dirt, the priest can save you (if they're not stunned or stuck or something)

as a brawler you wont have any problem doing that i guess.... you can block almost everything (cant block the poison on second boss -spreading dont know what, and the "shout" on last boss - when he stand still and make that little dance that dmg all arena and give u a slow debuff).
About being viable to make gold... im not sure.... probably there is something out there that gives u something more valuable...
i like to do IOD bams... i only run CW for spellbind (stupid 3%)..
and my guess is that hunter gold booster is pretty much useless atm... but oh well.. its still a buff.

I'm kinda like 99.9% sure that Brawler's block and literally block the poison and everything in CW, did it so many times with other people, and when I couldn't evade in time the poison spread pool, I just turned and faced the boss and blocked and I blocked all three poison hits from it's mouth. I don't really have any difficulty with the CW tbh, and I DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN AS A [filtered] here, but, a year ago, in another server, I played Brawler, and I had Schisma on her, just Schisma, not even +9, just that. And I was with another Brawler who wanted to get Schisma from that dungeon, so I helped him out, we both were very good and actually, it just took too long to finish, but overall, it wasn't that hard for me. So, after a whole year, I was wondering If they buffed up the dungeon and/or made it harder than it was.

Nah, I think the only major buff CW got was when it was bumped up into a lv 65 dungeon, as it used to be a lv 60 dungeon; even then, it's still basically the same dungeon as before. I don't think much should have changed from that time you played your other Brawler.

Great! If that's the case here, I can try to risk it and solo it on my own then. Thanks again for the help!

Ha, no problem ;p Have fun~

Soloing any instance will lead to drop penalties. You will get almost noting, lol. Why solo CW for gold? Any dem Vanguard (even gathering) gives more gold then CW full party of 3 ever will drop

Just glyph healing on your rampage then you are good to go.
However, without joy of party you have less then 20 or 10% of getting dread ore & crystal box.
Just becareful when the last boss start running around, the aoe dmg is painful.

Since you already have a brawler you should probably go with 8x IOD bam vanguard, 4x ghilliglade, 4x solo dungeon, 4x CW.. and sell the materials you get from this... a good ideia also is to gather while u kill IOD bams.. that time when you're walking from one bam to another, if you see something gather... u can sell skarabs for a good price and fine materials (ppl are buying them for quatrifoil brooche i guess). U can also get something with the IOD tokens to sell.. maybe even craft pots with the materials that are not "fine".

and tbh i dont know how much gold u can get out of it.. its just an ideia

Easiest class to solo this on is still by far a mystic though :pleased:

Brawler can solo it pretty easily too though.

I'm already doing vanguards guys, I swear, the rewards are kinda nice, but this game suffers from the lack of gold sink, so, I'm working my hardass everyday, on doing dungeons with others and BAMs in IoD, I have like 7 characters in total, which I play the mains, Brawler, Ninja, Gunner, Lancer, soon Mystic I hope, then Archer and Sorcerer. It's just a nightmare for me to stay away for like 16 hours everyday just to farm full with everyone.... XD

Zestroia · July 2016

I know what you mean and I agree 100% with you...I have like 7 chars now, the 4 of them are my mains atm, 65 lvls, and I usually log with each and every one of them daily, doing stuff, HYDRATHS ARE CANCER! I can kinda destroy them with my Brawler, but they are still nightmare for me. I had a hard time with my Ninja, and thank god I met a Berserker and we worked together against them, but still, I died like 6 times on them, first time ever to die so many times and with my Ninja. I'm afraid to do that with Gunner and Lancer. I believe I don't have skills and power to go and fight them again and again to fill up every daily and I already feel anxious and worked out, my sleep has been cut off for good, I see nice things on broker, tiers, alkahests, costumes, skins, mounts, everything, and I get so sad that I can't afford them! It's been like two days now that I follow a tactic, and I have amassed somewhere around 26k Gold, and it's still so little.

I don't know what to do, I want gold, and tbh gold will prob save me a lot from the trouble to upgrade Imperator gear, which I'll get after I make my Slaughter gear +12, my Brawler has weapon and armor +12 slaughter, and the belt too, I just need to make the boots +12 now and then the gloves +9 and then +12 and I'm done with the Slaughter on her. I'm literally saving gold, tier9 feeds, and alkas in any way I can.

But, as I said, it is tiring...and I already am tired now, I don't know what to do.

NarcissaEvo · July 2016

as said above , i also do the iod bams , but instead of dealing with the hydraths when that one comes up, i just run the celestial arena 1 or 2 times. same amt of gold as the shadecore bam vgs..also as listed above, if you can stand the boredom of it, gathering from pika/goblu/cobala is really good for money. also take all the fashion cups you get from the iod bams and buy fashion stuff thats tradeable and put it up on tb.

but if you want gold real fast and dont mind spending money for it, buy a 30 day elite voucher and sell it in trade channel (or tb if youre elite to avoid the listing fee) , they usually run around 100k or more.

Zestroia · July 2016

How can I work out with this? I don't have money irl, and it's harder and harder. Else I wouldn't really mind spending some real life money on this game, just to support the community and respect the devs. All I do for now, everything I have did and obtained the past 3 months I'm playing hard and non stop, was through sheer dedication and joy, but I feel I'm growing tired day after day...and I don't want to just stop, because I won't be able to mass 100k gold or more, my goal is to reach the 250k gold in this game, If I do this I can die happily.
