A fire-themed mining dungeon of lava-filled caverns (classic 'Sol A'), where fire goblins and the gnomish Solusek Mining Company share an uneasy alliance. A comparatively linear layout makes it a reliable source of mid-level gear and tradeskill materials, and the Bar Room is one of the best XP camps in the level 20s. It adjoins Nagafen's Lair (Sol B), where the red dragon resides.

Revamped in EverQuest Legends

Solusek's Eye was revamped in EverQuest Legends. Its rare creatures are now guaranteed spawns with no placeholders, and more named are flagged as rare creatures with higher mote drop rates. Spawn and drop data here are being re-checked against the live patch.

Official change: August 25, 2026 update.

How to Get to Solusek's Eye

Lavastorm Mountains (outdoor zone-in via the eastern path at the lava pit) and Nagafen's Lair / Sol B (deeper adjoining dungeon, handy as an escape route).

EnemiesFire goblins (Young, Cinder, Flame, Fire, Inferno variants), lava elementals and efreeti, gnome miners of the Solusek Mining Company, and Solusek kobolds. Many mobs pierce invisibility and hit hard with fire.

Camps & progression

  1. Lava caverns (entrance)20-26

    The linear opening tunnels and lava pools. Steady fire-goblin and kobold pulls to start, but mind the pit traps and lava.

  2. Solusek Bar Room26-32

    The standout camp: some of the best experience in the level 20s and early 30s. The Fire Goblin Bartender and Drunkard hold it, and a goblin merchant sits nearby.

  3. Mining Company28-34

    The gnome section, where Captain Bipnubble and Gabbie Mardoddle of the Solusek Mining Company drop the Gnomish Environment Suit and caster gear.

  4. Goblin King's court32-40

    The deep fire-goblin camps: the Solusek Goblin King, the Goblin High Shaman, and Reckless Efreeti. The zone's toughest camp, and over-pulling toward Sol B can drag in far higher-level danger.

Dangers

Fire mobs deal elevated damage and cast damaging fire spells, and many pierce invisibility. Pit traps and lava punish careless movement, larger races face size restrictions in tight spots, and over-pulling toward the Sol B connection can drag in far higher-level content.

Tips

Bring fire-resist gear to blunt caster damage, and use the linear layout to camp goblin and gnome pulls cleanly. The Solusek Bar Room is the go-to XP camp in the level 20s, and Nagafen's Lair is next door when you are ready for the dragon.
