If your objective is to get the shuiken orb and armor then then it's impossible to solo it all at the normal level range for that region..

Yeah full groups even static groups are hard to find so I would be soloing it, about what lvl to start soloing the faction stuff? and is the armor worth it or is crafted bettter?

Well i started this all at lev 32 and tried duoing most of it with my shaman... All the tier 1 stuff is really easy to get and of course you can do all the faction you need solo. 

The vurm tomes only drop on the two platforms at the very back of Thel.  (behind dragon boss, and behind golem boss) .  The lev 37/38 four dots are pretty tough for duoing even at level 39/40.  You have to fight two at a time and also some 5 dot dragons. 

The eltha runes only drop in VT (on dreadwing, and the two bosses in the throne room) and Vi'rak from what i understand.   Vi'rak is full of 4-6 dots so its very hard to solo or even duo but the drop rates of eltha are supposed to be better. 

Zalge runes drop off both the golem and dragon boss in Thel.  Also it drops from Lothlar the Archivist and the spawnable bosses in the golem area.   

Of course I grouped a lot in the mid 30s to try and get these items... Not much luck with the rolls.  And in this entire time I've only found one pair of medium leggings.  Now I'm starting to get in the level range where I can obtain better drops and cheap gear from the broker than the set pieces.. I got all the tier 1 and tier 2 stuff, skipped all the tier 3 stuff and just need 1 more eltha to turn my shurikens red. 

Here's a question for those of you that have the red shurikens... They give 50 to fire absorb... now if you put shurikens in both ranged slots does that give you 100 fire absorb?

Thanks,
