This beta WIP macro will make a monk clear events 1-4 in Solteris completely* automated. Just zone into solteris and /mac it. (The DZ requesting player must be flagged). It is buggy AF (especially event 1, looting/giving items is hard!), but at least it's pretty solid at event 3.
Why? The only real items worth getting is from event 6 IMO, the firebone illusion clicky for war/mnk/rog/ber, and maybe the werewolf clicky or drogmor from event 6.
Why a macro? Shouldn't this content be trivial at 120? Because to get to event 6, you have to beat event 3, a "balancing" event which is impossible to cheese/overpower.
How does this macro make you beat event 3? Doesn't just like 1 hit for 20k or something make you instantly fail the event?
The "algorithm" for beating event 3 is very simple. The macro will target the captain with the highest current HP, nav to it, and smack it with exactly 1 auto-attack. Rinse and repeat until win. You need have a "no dmg" mainhand like a fire beetle eye (to prevent ripostes), and rusty weapon (or 1 dmg 1hb weapon mace from vex thal trash) in your offhand.
This works exceptionally well with the "weapon mastery of the whatever* AA because even though you hit for pitiful dmg with a rusty weapon, the weapon mastery AA will just add a flat 5k or so damage onto that. This makes your single auto-attack generally do *at most* 10k damage, which is not enough to unbalance the bosses HP, but it is enough so the event doesn't take an eternity. Technically, this macro should work with *any* class with that AA, but I only tested with monk, and it's trivial to solo because you can just mend every 30 seconds. With a little finagling, you could modify this macro to work with a few different classes.
There are a lot of caveats/requirements....
Side notes.

- /echo PLEASE DISABLE ANY LARGE DAMAGE SHIELDS (500+ dmg)
- /echo Disable MQ2Melee or whatever plugins you have active that might do dmg
Side notes.
- Why is the code for this macro awful? Because it's my first attempt at writing a macro, and the MQ scripting language/docs are abysmal, and I don't have enough time to dedicate to make it "good".
- Don't bother with the adds during event 3. The captains will "shield" them or whatever, so if you finishing blow AA one of the adds while it's shielded, you will instantly unbalance/lose the event.
- You don't need to use this macro for events 1/2 or 4 really. You can very easily just "comment out" the lines in the macro you don't want (it should be self-explanatory)
- I haven't tested this as 120, only at 115, and months ago. I see no reason it shouldn't still generally work.
- Auto-skills are bizarre. There is no on/off command to my knowledge. You can only toggle! This is probably solved somehow....a single flying kick will break event 3.
- The 2nd boss casts a warp that places you off the island, but you "mostly" get summoned right back. Mostly.
- Event 6 is a balancing event, but you can cheese it. It does break occasionally though....
- The firebone clicky has a 20% to drop. This might take a few tries.
- It feels pretty surreal to be able to press 1 button to solo-clear* an entire raid instance which at one point took an entire guild many hours to clear.
- I'm probably forgetting a TON of stuff to include here. I'll add more details or comments as it comes back to me.
- There are a million different reasons to lose event 3. Forget to remove that 6k mage DS = instant loss. Forget to remove that 10k proc thingy? LOSS. I've failed this event countless times for every reason imaginable.
- The auto-banestrike change makes this a bit dicey. While your max damage of 2 attacks + banestrike *should* still be under the 5% HP balance-break threshold, it's possible it's too much at 120.
- Sic, can I get access to the CWTN plugins for free please?
