EQSanctuary Wiki


There are a variety of roles that each subclass can perform. The most common question regarding playstyle is "can X solo?" so these will be grouped first by viability as a solo as a new player, and then tagged with other keywords to help describe their playstyle. There are plenty of the More Group Reliant subclasses that can solo with a bit of knowledge about the game once you dive into the crafting system and learn different crafted sets.

Please note, this server is designed and intended to gravitate towards group content as opposed to solo content. As each class approaches max level (40) it will become harder and harder to solo like-level mobs.
