    do you mean fcc? and if so then partly

    the first boss after the xp room(not the one in the xp room) requires a barb and cleric, he is like pole with a big debuff that makes the herc get 1 hit

    other than that, with a ton of patience, and some expected deaths, you could probably get pretty far being level 85+

    the first boss would be a pain in the but with his circles, but it could be done, would just take a while

    Never. A certain boss hits (actually, more like debuffs) like polearm.
    I was early taught to work as well as play,
    My life has been one long, happy holiday;
    Full of work and full of play-
    I dropped the worry on the way-
    And God was good to me everyday.

    i suppose the same situation as pole, with a high enough level genie with enough magic to increase the regen rate of its mana you should be able to interupt it(i think 90+ is what i read on pole for the genie)

    but you are missing the point, that boss is after the xp room, and yes there is a ton of xp after from some great mobs, but is it really worth dieing and loosing some of your hard earned xp just to try and finish fcc?

    if i have some time tonight ill get some squad mates to open fcc for me and i will try a solo run

    Its going to take you years to solo FCC (up to polearm boss). Totally not worth it when a good squad can run it in an hour with no deaths. Its just not worth it to solo. Its boring, and you cant (without a god genie) finish the entire instance by yourself.

    Before you say anything about me not knowing venos and stuff. I have a veno, with both herc/nix and higher level than you.

    have you ever tried it? how much xp do you get per mob solo? what are the benefits of using hypers while solo? do you enjoy the benefits of doing something alone without any help just because you can?

    the question of the thread is can you solo it, not do you want to solo it

    and finishing after making it to the xp room is not important, as the xp room solo could be an enormous benefit in xp

    you will have better chances grinding solo in other spots. since lots of mobs have range atk and are packed, gl doing it solo and hope for decent xp/hour... and fragrance boss, you actually dont see any big long animation when he debuff, just a big axe and already debuffed you so to late for any genie, another thing is... he stun

    before reaching fragrance boss, 2nd boss will freeze and sleep you over and over again doing it solo, eating lots of your charm and pots. 3rd boss will spawn a dragoon, stun from mob and bleed from boss will eat your charm too. the boss that spawn bishop, another fun moment, dealing with bishop and boss in the same time w/o buffs... the boss before xp room, phoenix and last one will eat your charm too

    I've actually heard before that there used to be a solo-mode for FCC. True?

    The only three bosses you will be unable to solo at any point with a herc veno are the bishop boss (not sure on his name, he's after the diabolic Shocktrooper), Decaying Fragrance (the Polearm/Krimson debuff boss that 1-hits the herc) and the last boss Champion of Fientazzar.

    It will take forever though, it's quicker and more rewarding to do in a squad.

    I don't think the Bishop boss, or the last boss would be any problem at all. Decaying Fragrance seems possible, just difficult (unsummon pet -> holy path -> summon -> attack/heal ->repeat). -This way a Scorpion could probably tank it.

    Yes, I used to solo it daily for a while. Some drops from it still exist.

    Problem with the bishop boss is that he summons a constant stream of bishops. You have to kill them faster than he summons them, or you're going to die to a bunch of chain stuns and AOEs. They have about 117k hp. At the high 90s you can probably kill them faster than they spawn (not to mention take a lot less damage). But there's no way you're doing it in your 80s. I ran it with 4 of us in the 75-89 range. And even with all of us attacking the bishop while the herc tanked the boss, we couldn't kill one before the next bishop spawned. So whether he presents a problem is highly dependent on your level.

    Well, what happens to solo mode and all the mats from Fcc dropping? Did they take them out before the put in the anni packs? (I quit for about 5 months.. from march '08 to august '08 so I'm unaware of what happened in that time frame.)

    there is no more solo mode FC, it was for some time teleport from stone but never tried.
    now bosses in FC drop full items anyway but the chances are so slim
