Solo Instances

This list of solo instances is divided into three categories: pure solo instances, adventure pack instances, and solo/heroic instances.

(recommended level is listed in brackets)

Solo Instances
These are mostly newer instances, added in various live updates. They tend to have an event inside, and most of them have some kind of access quest that must be done the first time. These are some of the most rewarding solo content in EQ2. You can take 1-2 friends inside with you. Some have short lockout timers after you leave.


 * (16-20) - in Commonlands
 * (16-20) - in Antonica
 * (20-25) - Commonlands or Antonica
 * (25-29) - in Nektulos Forest
 * (25-29) - in Thundering Steppes
 * (36-40) - in Feerrott
 * (39-43) - in Everfrost

Adventure Pack Solo Instances
These instances require that you have paid for the appropriate adventure pack or expansion pack. Aside from that requirement, they tend to be very worthwhile, easily on par with the pure solo instances listed above. These are purely solo missions, you cannot take a friend. Most of them have some kind of lockout timer after you leave.


 * (30-34) - Bloodlines
 * (31-35) - Bloodlines
 * (35-39) - Bloodlines
 * (20-50) - in Thundering Steppes
 * (20-50) - Splitpaw
 * (20-50) - Splitpaw
 * (20-50) - Splitpaw
 * (47-52) - in Desert of Flames

Solo/Heroic Instances
In general, these instances are smaller and less interesting than the pure-solo instances or adventure pack instances. Each time they are used, the entrance disappears, then reappears a few minutes later in a different location within the same area. Monsters do not respawn in any of these instances. There is no lockout timer, so you can zone back in immediately, if you can find the entry again, of course.

Each time you enter, you get to choose between the solo version or the heroic version. Any size of group can enter either version. Both versions are the same level, have the same mob layout (except they're heroic), and the same named creatures. The named creatures are much more common in the heroic versions (probably 1 in 2 chance), while they are downright rare in the solo versions (probably 1 in 5 chance).


 * (20-23) - Thundering Steppes
 * (22-26) - Thundering Steppes
 * (27-30) - Thundering Steppes
 * (29-33) - Zek
 * (32-36) - Zek
 * (32-36) - Enchanted Lands
 * (34-37) - Enchanted Lands
 * (37-40) - Zek
