How about dwarven defender?

How can a monk or barbarian kill bosses by themselves?

What bosses have to do with loot? Even though those builds can kill most of the bosses.

they do damage and mitigate the damage received. hard to kill.

Bosses have the best loot. But even the clayman in the underdark, who is a "weak" boss deals a ton of damage and has a ton of dr.

Hm do they? That is good to know

If your AC is high enough, it will not land hits that often, and if you make use of Northlander Hewing... Its DR is pretty pointless, you will just hack through it.

Edit: And yeah, all you really need to do is get some 10 whole stacks of healing kits and you can keep looting for a fairly long time. You just deal with the mobs one at a time as you encounter them, perhaps focus on taking down on casters first, and you will start to get more and more gold... along with few random good drops.

Oh and, you can literally carry everything that has not been nailed to the ground. I think my barbarian could carry something like over 3 tons without getting encumbered - and he often carried that 5-10 suits of armor out of dungeons etc...

Edit: As for bosses having good loot... Sometimes... But often it is just gold though. But hey, haven't grinded in months so who knows about the current state of the server.

ill take the dungeon of chests over boss loot all day. i typically dont skip on boss unless i dont think i can take it. risk<reward

if your just wanting loot and not beating bosses. lock26/r4 is tits.

fast+invis+open lock/disarm=big moneys looting. may not be able to carry like the others but doesnt need any gear.

If you don't want bosses, then pretty much any build can do the job. It really isn't hard. Having said that, still the best way to get really got loot (not shop trash) is by trading. Don't even need to leave the FAI for that!

advice from the master. but gotta have something worth trading... and patience.

Most bosses drop spoons most of the time. Chest runs give you the best loot. A boss is more of a single chest that takes an immense amount of effort to do (and has a couple other chests beside it).

Aside from that, many builds can kill Chaos and the Frost Giant King. They are the easiest bosses imo (besides the upperdark boss).

As for looting builds. . .

Here is one I recently game up with. I have no first hand experience with the gondsman, but I'm told its decent.

It does get an XP penalty, but this is more of a build that build into, rather than leveling up. If you desire to do so though, I've had friends who have done an XP penalty and they said it wasn't so bad on this server.

This one gets expose weakness, it can make and sell perfected alchemist fire flasks (and use them!), it gets both epic gate and its gondsman summon (both of which are competent), it can use nearly any weapon you loot (no specific weapon focus), and of course a 30 cleric caster level.

Just remember that the server's focus is still on RP. Be sure that whatever you come up with is a sensible, lore-appropriate build that complies with all of our server rules! Some amazing builds just make no sense from an RP perspective, and the DMs will call you on them.

Except that Krieg wants gold (see OP), probably to buy those juicy Epic Shop items from Shekels' store at FAI. So yes, what you've said about not leaving the FAI is sort-of true

What feats and such go into FS26/Paladin4? Uh, asking for science.
