the question of soloing, whether it be krayts or anything, is whether you have time to solo it before some knob melee prof comes along and kills it in a few hits before you're done. killing anything 'high end' takes alot longer than any other prof i've seen.


soloing krayts is possible in theory, but it's likely the server will reset before you're actually done killing it .

I don't think any template for soloing Krayt Dragons will be effective for long with the Combat Upgrade coming up (which will probably make soloing these types of things impossible )

Lets hope the CU cancels out the possibility to solo these huge krayt dragons - aman with sword shouldnt have any chance against one of these things... ok riflemen should be able to blast out a few shots before the beast comes to kill them...


If the CU makes hunting Krayts a large group event then thats good with me... well maybe not the juveniles (they are fun to play against when your mbh/mpistols hehe)

"When Sony and Lucas set out, we said, How can we do this and not make another EQ? We didn't want it to be all about Luke, or combat, or lock our players into a class. So we created a system that would allow players to switch professions during the game, and there would be a lot of gameplay around making that change. If you want to go from architect to scout we've created a system to make that happen."

If your goal is to solo krayts, pistoleer isnt the way to go mate. I would suggest doc/swordsman or doc/tkm or even rifleman can hold their own, but not pistols. Maybe if u exploited FD u could kill krayts but what is fun about that. As soon as there is a krayt in sight, a jedi, pikeman, tkm, or swordsman are gonna kill steel u anyway so it doesnt realy matter. I used my swordsman/doc to do my loot horing, lol.

If you have a Doc or Medic friend take them, if they run a peace macro Canyons and Juvies wont touch them - so they can stand there and heal you. Its only the Giants and Canyons that will agro them.


It will take a long time but you can take out a canyon by spamming torso and bleed shots on them just make sure your mind is really really buffed up and you have some mind heal drinks or try and get hold of some Damage Stims for your friend as these heal mind also. It would probably take about 20-30mins or so of torso and bleeds to take one out if you use a high damage pistol.

then group up and get a share of the loot. If your team loots some nice tissues and you have them all crafted into weapons by the same smith, you only need to claim 2 from the pile. Thats not tons of tissue. It may even be your fair share. It's not all about solo-play. There is no way your gonna kill enough dragons to get really good tissues by yourself. Ideally you'd want to group with Jedi as they will be after the pearls. You will find less competition for the tissues that way.

The Juvenile Krayts can drop decent tissues as well, just kill them... very easy.


If I see anything bigger I have to call a Rifleman or a TKM/Flames 4 matey to come kill it.


I could stack health poisons and fire away with my DE-10 at it, running to my bike and hoping it doesn't area attack it while I get out of range to peace and wait for poison to tick, but thats far too much effort.


If you do want to kill it, you'll need Intimidate at least... Novice Brawler, and some Melee Damage Mitigation would help. But if you keep it intimidated you can tank and kill them, it just takes a VERY long time.


Oh and dont listen to C-H-U-D...
