i started playing bit heroes on 27th feb 2017. my decision to play with a staff only and no friends helping stems from the chat at the time where most of the experienced players were telling all new members to not use the staff as it was the weakest weapon. also it was stated that friends would be needed to do the multiplay dungeons and raids. it was stated by more than a few that there is no such thing as a mage in this game. and it would be impossible to progress or complete raids without friends helping. on reading this I decided that this was a challenge I had to accept. thus i started my game as a solo player with familiar help only. i decided to level up as fast as i was able to but also to travel through the zones slowly. I picked up as many epic pieces of gear as I could find and levelled them a few times before i got to dungeon 3. I did all the heroic levels for a while and at level 30 i decided to move into zone 2 and start my way towards zone 3. it was easy for me at this point to progress and collect epics once again with the avowed intent on upgrading fully this time so that my time in zone 2 was not quite as long as in zone 1. i had managed to find not only gobby offering but the gems to bribe him. with 5 robot sprockets in my bag already and the schematic for robby, I decided to fuse robby. he became my main team member with a yeti I managed to grab with gold. in short order i managed to find 3 more sprockets and the yobo schematic so, fused yobo. this then was my main team for dungeons. Ipicked up a few more familiars and also found a few more schematics.
my main aim at this point was to play raids with familiars. I had the bobodom schematic set which dropped fairly easily for me in the main dungeons in zone 2 so I started to gather familiars for 1 bobodom. i had a shrampz i had not used and had managed to get lord cerulean so i built on these. i struggled in raid 1 for a while after getting zone 3 zompleted but managed to gain a few familiars .. thus i was able to fuse cuerade, the challenge was hotting up and I was loving every minute of it. i dedcided after a few suggestions that a raid team of 4 bobodoms could be a nice experiment. with the stables being implimented this meant making 9 bobodom and stabling 5 of them.
on 6th november I am level 172 and have managed to play into zone 6 dungeon 1 and decided to stop there until I complete my familiars I want to get for my raid team. i will continue at flag 4 after I have got my planned bobodom warband fused. I have 3 at this time and all but 6 nosdoodoo and 4 ragnar in my posession ready for fusion.
what has made things easier for me in a way is the change of attitudes from some of the players in my chat room. some have moved away and taken their toxic idea with them and the chat has started to foster players visions of what they could do in the game. we still get the occasional toxic outburst from players jumping in from other rooms but they leave pretty fast when the room has a go at them .. we all play our own games in a way within this game .. some go on to be tanks others damage dealers and a few I know of have started to think they want to solo. how we all play is up to us not some loudmouth who thinks we are supposed to follow a pattern because they did. if we win we like it more .. if we lose we either give up or we try a different route. my routs is fixed. solo and staff all the way up. how it progresses, time will record.

What a challenge, but it's very nice to see someone showing that variety is possible. While not quite on the same level of dedication, I'm a speed build, so I feel like I definitely understand and feel your struggle. Overall, I'm glad that it's working for you, and you have a plan moving forward.

Friend od you in the game, Its hard being a lvl 46 stuck on flag one after the 1st dungeon, Its a miracle how you manages to grab a gobby and make an amazing team, my main are Shrump and Shrampz, not too good, maybe I'll save up gems and try to snatch a quick Asteroth, lol. The chances of gobby are low, but managing to see one and catch one is very hard. You got very lucky with your gem count. I still to this day, yet to see the bloodred epic familiar mark around the picture of a familiar.

well I have my 9 bobodom's .. 5 in stable and the rest in raid 2 at present. it is a hard slog levelling as a solo but the progress is worth the slog, for me at least. I still get the odd numptie asking why I am doing this instead of using friends. I just point them to my profile. if they keep asking I relate the first few days in the game for me .. lots of crap about this and that method and there being no mage in the game.. I am loving this challenge. it has come to my attention that others are looking out to see how I progress and I am talked about in places where higher level players hang out. I just smile and carry on. most of the chat is positive in content so I do not worry. there is as always the odd slime thrower. I just dodge and report if they continue to be negative in a serious way. for now I continue to level and build my stats in the way I need to for later dungeons and raids :D

28th December - level 196 so far with a slowly growing total stat count 1175. my raid team is 6.1k and can do raid 2 hard but I lose a lot of my characters in the process so, my aim is to get to 200 and then try raid 3 normal.

as of 30th December, I am able to complete raid 3, normal, successfully but as with raid 2, I lose most of my team. back I go to raid 2 normal and level up to 200 for that extra enchant and see what that does to help things along :)

jan 17th and I am at level 203 and climbing .. the extra enchant was not as much a game changer as I had hoped but, with the new mounts that is almost irrelevent. Ihave decided to save my guts to exchange for a legendary. I know some will say use a common at least while saving but I am taking this slow and pushing for hypershards to upgrade my gear so i have a better chance of doing raid 3 without losing most of my team. it is a struggle but then it has been that all the way through the game so far so no changes there. I do see less of the doubters coming into room 6 chat and that is a good thing. if they doubt I can do this then that is fine, they get a rough reception from the rest of the room 6 members usually, and I hate to see anyone made to feel unwelcome for their views. 27 hypershards needed for this upgrade program and then i will move into raid 2 hard for a short test of my abilities there before i move on to raid 3. then the legendary hunt starts all over again :)

like the dedication you put into building a solo team. I think eventhough you progress is slowed significantly , but your fams should be way better than most at your TS probably making PVP much easier for you. And advantage in runes too considering the amount of time you spend in the game already. keep it up

monday 5th Feb 2018 .. closing in on that year or hard graft and still using the staff and familiars only stance. i am level 209 now and still 19 hypershards short of the full upgrade. I know that with that last upgrade I will be moving into raid 3. The fact I have not yet done so is really about the level of ts (total stats) that makes the movement a viable option without losing most of my team every raid or even failing completely, it is still a chance and thus not for me. I have the time and patience so will continue on my slow boat, so to speak.
my goal after this upgrading of t5 (tier 5) gear is to find and upgrade t6 legendaries and also to level my ts so that I can solo wb (world boss) the aim is to do orlag t6 heroic wb for the lunar guardian set. then work on levelling that. later plans are for upgrading into t7 and so forthe.

This is really awesome, ferret! Try using a dps fam, probably Korgz and maybe the Master or Lardoz when the corresponding invasion comes by. Hope you continue this epic quest!

How to beat: Log on every day and stockpile stat points, and do some dungeons and get accessory, pet, mainhand, and offhand because technically they aren't clothes, then ask around in chat rooms and find some friends to get you to beat dungeons, and ask someone you are pvping to remove all runes and fams so you can beat them.
Also how to cheat and find loopholes. :P

after you lanceandreijaval .. I am busy with my own challenge .. by the way been in pvp naked and won at level 120 ... as for the one heroic dungeon that would be easy .. any of the tier 1 dungeons will be good enough for that .. oh and no cheats needed there either :P
level 212 reached and I am 10 hypershards short of gaining t5 legs all upgraded. then I aim to move into raid 3 and start all over again. the bobodom warband, as i call them, are doing brilliantly. at present they have higher power than I do but that relates to the upgrading I am trying to get done with power and stamina going up level and speed staying in the 400 range.
there will alwats be the sniper in the pack trying to make things look easier than they are but then I bet they are not trying to do it my way :D

an update for the followers, the nay sayers, trolls and anyone else I forgot to mention ;)
i have reached level 217, upgraded all my T5 legs and the t5 set offhand I was lucky to reroll first time. so I have moved into raid 3. now the fun starts all over again as I build up to being able to not have to use healing shrines and hopefully no sp shrines either. again the aim is to collect the leg gear and hopefully start to get good enough to do world boss t6 solo, in the same way I solo t5 solo :)
I have checked my stats and am thinking 1k raids along with 1k gauntlets and trials together will probably put me close to having the full t6 leg gear of one kind or another. then the fun really starts as i work towards completing t6 orlag wb on heroic. the aim there is to collect that t6 set (lunar guardian).
some think I am mad .. some think I am crazy .. i let you decide yourselves. the fact is I will get there solo, just the bobo army at my side with a single gobby for normal dungeons ;)
play fair and be well until I post again on this thread

another update for those following and, for those who reply with good or bad I say thank you for reading this tripe ;)
on to the reason for the post. I am now level 219 and have in the last week settled into raid 3 comfortably. I managed to gain 3 legendary items but only have use for 1 of them. the items were 2 velvet doublet (a double drop from woodbeard is the only thing I can think of as I did not have it one raid and next I had 2 of them) the other I got first and was from T6 world boss .. ghastlock (spear). as I only use a staff the spear was exchanged as was the second velvet doublet. as a result I am 2/4 in upgrades on the velvet doublet with 1 more upgrade needed to be able to wear it and upgrade my ts yet again.
the plan is working a bit better than i expected but there is still a long long way to go yet. that is all on that for now so I say keep the faith, play your own way and until the next update .. play fair and be well ;)

level 222 and still on t5 netherworld wb reason is simple .. I am after the juices and a few schematics. I fancy making a Drenath. lots to do but it is also a major help with the concentration of my time. I will be trying the harder options of t5 soon enough as r3 gets easier and easier. the bobo warband seems to be a great help as I suspected at the start of the build for it. my idea on this build is to just have a mythic or two in the possibles for things like invasion and may even use in pvp for a laugh .. I may even go backwards and make another bobo to make a rombolio for similar reasons :D
my need for familiars is sated as far as my normal play is concerned .. all i will collect more for is experimentation and may even build more just to see what they can do in the mix for pvp and invasion. as for mr550's idea of blight .. I may find myself in the t6 orlag at some point when i can manage to win it consistantly. so far 1 play and 1 win on normal t6 nether wb so i am closer than some think. all that is in the way is time and effort. that is being worked on and things will improve as I build my character up more in r3. slow boat is moving on still. and I am not yet close to my original goal so i will be here a while longer yet folks ;)
