I usually go down with a partner. This makes it far safer, since we can both take a ress, and are less likely to wipe. Usually, we clear chamber, then go to chaos planes via mountains. There, we only do the Wailing Lords. Banished Dream Riders CAN also be done, but take too long and I feel they don't drop too well. It's easier to just kill Wailing Lords, then run past the riders (they usually cast Empathy, hit you with 1-2 normal attacks, then return to their spots, since they don't follow for far)
Then we do all of Pits + Pools, and restart. Pools ist fairly easy with Earthbind + Wnaderlust, which makes Dryders a lot less dangerous. Pits is only hard because one can sometimes pull too many mobs, and spirits get distracted by chained souls...
In theory, using 2 Rits, pretty much everything can be farmed, but obviously, some things just take too long... Shouldn't be impossible solo, but I always felt that Wastes simply takes too long...
I should add that neither me nor my partner claim to be the fastest or best, but we have fairly solid times, whilst not being too serious about it. Maybe 2hrs for Chamber + Pits + Pools.
