Classic 20th Anniversary Realms Rogues can solo Cobrahn

Been seeing rogues still running WC at lvl 25+ for the pants. He is easily soloable at 24 (when I did and first time playing a rogue, could maybe do it earlier). Helps to have your instant poison and bring health pots for good measure. If you get an ony or rend buff it will be piss easy. 1 run stealthing to him takes 5 minutes. Don’t waste your time losing rolls or being a dick and dropping group after. Just sap him, kill his snakes then pop evasion once he transforms for melee attacks. Don’t kick the lightning bolt, it barely does damage. Enjoy your pants!

You can do it as early as 20, maybe even earlier. Waiting until 22 for vanish isn’t a bad idea either.

This also isn’t the only boss that’s solo able by rogues for loot. You can actually farm your own gear as a rogue all the way up to 60.

Horde can solo outlaw Sabre.

Can solo toxic revenger and the rare in gnomer too.

Multiple BrD bosses soloable, HoJ, mixologist tunic and Barman shanker, could probly solo blackbreath in the bar too.

You can solo first boss in SM GY for the dagger, solo farm rares in SF GY too.

Solo baron silverlaine in SFK

Solo some RFD bosses (glutton and coldbringer) coldbringer is tough tho and you don’t always or even most the time get the kill.

Solo the rare in RFK (really tricky and time consuming with pats on the bridges)

Solo the rare in ZF (antu’sul maybe a bit much but probably doable)

Solo rare in Mara for the sweet chestpiece.

Any serpent lord in WC is doable just take more work than cobrahn.

Solo the rare in Stockades.

Pretty sure there is a boss or two more but that’s all I can recall off the top of my head. Most of these I’ve done myself w/o engineering. Timing, and prep work is the most important thing with solo’ing stuff.

A lot of the times you need to time your vanish and opener just right so the mob doesn’t quite reset (which actually may make it not doable on classic era due to batching differences, not too sure haven’t fiddled with it as much).

Edit: some but not all of the ST mini bosses (trolls on the ledges) are soloable.

No problem man.

Just bring the consumables needed (shadow prot pots for plugger, and such) and your full kit and you’re good to go.

If you aren’t sure I know there are videos for some of these most are pretty straightforward just gotta kill a few mobs and/or stealth deep into the instance.
