Deep Dungeon Solo Progression Thread

[FunkyBunch]

no idea if it's a bug, using NIN - was level 34 when I got to 20th floor boss. No cooldowns cross-classed from monk were available (second wind, internal release), the drg cross-class like flurry/invigorate were useable. Should this be happening? am I missing anything?

You don't have all your cross-class slots available at that level, so they may have just been greyed out until you level up.

Long post incoming!

After a friend of mine presented one of the first documented, legitimate solo clears on AST, I decided I wanted to do the same on WAR but also make it as extreme as I could by deliberately completing all 50 floors with the lowest possible aetherpool stats. I settled on +24/ +24 as you see below (though killing Edda automatically adds +1 to each. This is a new change as of the most recent hotfix.)

Long story short, I sat stuck at the stage 40 boss for several days while trying to kill him at level 54 with +22/ +22 stats. I actually got close several times (20 % or less HP) but the process of merely getting to the boss with enough time to clear and with pomanders of rage to down the adds became a great exercise in frustration. That is when I abandoned SAVE SLOT 1 to try for a better assortment of pomanders.

To up my stats a bit higher, I just kept repeating floors until I got to the +24/+24 that I arbitrarily chose. I made a deliberate decision to ignore all silver chests henceforth.

Those +2 extra stats to both my weapon and armor allowed me to actually pass those floors and then finally onto 41-50, which I had never previously seen. In fact, I became so stubborn at doing this challenge that my solo clear (as seen in the images below) is actually my very first clear of the Palace of the Dead.

good point, I'll re-arrange them and see if it makes a difference
