I built Budder in 2001 to do what everyone said couldn't be done. I soloed often, I bought no gear, I did not even twink the character. At 30th through until the late 40's I triple and Quad kited blues for XP self buffed. I was the tank on 27 Vox kills as I kept poor Budder 52 for months. I had her flagged for BoT at 58 by tanking almost all the giants needed for the key. Until 10/27/04 at level 65, not one item on her was from a Raid. Budder was only 61 days old. Yes its possible, its just not easy
