Synastria (Solo WoW Emu)

Avatar of Nyx posted about this private server in the THJ thread:

This is a very "THJ" like version of Classic WoW (Vanilla through WOTLK) where in your singular character gains enough power creep/stat inflation to eventually solo heroic mode 25man raids.

It works via attuning items by wearing them/gaining exp, but instead of leveling the item up to crazy high legendary levels to overinflate your stats, each piece of gear you attune (that is for you, ie plate for plate wearers, etc) you basically bank 20% of the stats. instead of long grinding sessions to level up a piece of raid gear to legendary level, instead you are banking incremental stat increases from tons of drops until your base states are godlike instead.

Does not have triple classing off the rip like THJ, but it does offer dual classing after you 100% item attunes and prestige, allowing you to reset and pick 2 Classes to attune up instead.

Other than item attunements for massive stat gains it also has a pretty interesting perks system where you unlock ranks via achievement like system (kill 5 mobs in 5 seconds to unlock a perk that "grants you X upon killing something worth exp or honor..." etc, shit like that. there's tons of categories from offense, defense, utility, etc.

Also tons and tons almost overkill on QOL/ease of play features, almost all features are account wide/account unlocks instead of character, etc. ie alts will start with a ton of banked stats that carried over from your main, rep, etc. Also no need to level you can just insta unlock lvl 80. The gameplay is progression via item attunements/perk unlocks through quests>dungeons>raids. Theres also leaderboards and competitions for like best time speed running dungeons and shit.

Just hopped on to check it out, it's very much a 1 man show but very much a passionate developer working on it, it has tons and tons of custom features/QOL stuff, but it is very janky, this isn't a bunch of paid developers with sleek launchers, wikis, websites, custom addons, etc. Nah you gotta torrent a copy of 3.3.5a WoW (or use a download link on the discord) and apply the custom patch to it.

Is this THJ style soloable, meaning there 20 or 30 metabuilds and everything else is also totally doable ?

Ftfy

Also I guess i probably should of expanded on the dual class thing my bad. Personally I like having incremental goals to build towards so having dual class as a carrot down the road is ideal for me but I can see how it would turn you off if you expect it off the rip.

This server is thj like in that the primary progression system is looting and leveling up items so you can gain more power and can take on harder content. It also has an achievement based perk system that unlocks new abilities that can be somewhat esoterically compared to AAs.

So I made a DK to putz around on, instaleveled it to 80 to unlock everything, realized i wanted to reuse the name so deleted the character made a druid and instaleveled that to 80 to make sure i had everything unlocked still (i think it was still unlocked i just redid the 80 just in case, and also because low lvl druid is kinda lame) and have been just running around doing quests in northrend but doing them at 80 is kind of annoying since you have to turn on low level quest tracking and they are already too easy. any way I finished all of borean tundras quests, take a look at the attune list and i'm missing like 400 items from just this one zone. All told, for druid (leather, and missing all ranged weapons, swords, and axes) i've still got 9273 items to unlock to prestige, I am 1.03% of the way done lol.

Now having a better understanding of the game I would second Nyx's suggestion.

Your first character make a place holder character you dont give a shit about, insta level to 80 to unlock all the account feature stuff like mounts and tradeskills and shit. And then make a level 1 character of the class you want and just play it. Never thought I'd say this, but you could even turn down experience rate or even turn it off so you don't outlevel content before you find everything, if attuning/prestige/100% is at all anything you are actually looking to do.

If your not interested in unlocking everything, then i'd still say set exp rate to like 200% or something and still just level through from 1.

i've kind of got it backwards now that my druid is 80 but i've put too much time into it so i'm not going to restart it. I am going to restart my DK from 55 and level normally, turning off exp at 60 so I can complete all the vanilla content, then level to 70 doing the same, etc.

Once I have all the dungeon and raid content and my unfound item list is down from 10k to like 1k or less then i'll worry about hunting down the open world stuff

at least at northrend level the stat bonuses stack up rather quickly so you can pretty much solo from the rip I would imagine. I mean it won't be as extreme sure so like rage fire chasm and deadmines would still be hard but i'd have to imagine by mid 30s you are able to solo all the dungeon content as you come to it
