Tier 3 armor without leaving
Tier 3 armor without leaving the rescue camp for an alt... so that's at least 4* armor, helm, and shield, and if you mean have T3 access then you'll also need a 4* weapon... 1700CE (assuming using Mist)*4 + 400CE (creation of starter 3* item and upgrading to 4*, assuming using Mist for both)*4 = 8400CE. Uhhhhh, I'll pass.
Also there are very few people crazy enough to attempt a Shadow Lair solo... much less UFSC. I did Rabid Snarby solo, and to the best of my knowledge I was the first to get the hair brained idea to do something like that (if I am incorrect please correct me, I will gladly give congrats :) ). On youtube I can find exactly 2 solo Shadow Lair runs, one for Snarby, one for Vana, both by WhatWhereAmI (by the way, congrats Exileddread) both posted up within the last week.

seems pretty simple solution to lack of content to me
T4 (perhaps not yet the core).
Requirement 5* gear. (nothing new hear).
Buff all defenses, main and status, to double strength. [for player]
Buff all attacks and status damage/duration by double. [for mobs]
What this does?
If you are correctly equipped to the levels (arsenal changing stations at every level) then you'll find T4 a fair approximation of T3--with the auxilary damage from non-strata like monsters being extra strong. (wolvers on a construct arena. i.e. pierce instead of elemental). But gone are the days of running fire/freeze/shock without the appropriate defense. Gone would be the days of running wolver dens and aurora isles without good pierce defense. No T4 vana runs without some serious fire status defense.
This would force two courses of action:
Current "end-game" players would be forced to seriously increase teh amount of gear they had. It'd be a must to have pierce armor, shadow armor, elem armor, shock, fire, freeze, etc.. armors. And switch early and often to survive in T4. It would also make UVs, especially max UVs, greatly more desired and useful. Max shock on skolver/vog could be the difference between it being a great armor or an absolutely worthless armor in a shock strata.
End-game players would also now have somethign to spend money on, more 5* gear. Particularly if we want to keep our UV fetishes in tact. :)
note: another way to achieve the same result is to use damage scaling. Just as the damage u cause and take scales down (despite level of gear) for lower levels, the damage you deliver and absorb could scale up in T4. However, damage you deal only scales if you are hitting an enemy with its weakness (or normal, for u levi users) and damage you take only scales up if you are ill-equipped vs that damage type. Same thing, different way of viewing it.

Might I add that thinking
Might I add that thinking Darkfire Vanaduke is the real end-game?
Lol, put on Solo UIMF above it, that's where the real challenge is.

Wait a second...
--->I was directed to here and the wiki by a couple of people and this...
"Solo a tier 2 or up Boss with arrival equipment (proto shield, proto gun, proto sword etc.)"
You can't exactly make this one up on the fly xD ^

Here's a better idea for the PvE "Bosses" Section
PvE - This is what the PvE "Bosses" Section should have looked like.
#5. "Flawless Victory: Vanaduke"
Defeat Vanaduke without getting hit or losing health. - Difficulty Factor 11/10
#4. "Friendly Fire is a !@#%$"
Complete Depth 24 FSC using only Zero Star starter armor and weapons. - Difficulty Factor 11/10
#3. "You're doing it Wrong"
Tier 2 boss - Royal Jelly. Defeat this boss using any armor you want, but you can only use one weapon. Flourish (3*). Vials are allowed. - Difficulty Factor 12/10
#2. "A minute to win it"
Tier 2 boss - The Roarmulus Twins. Beat this fight in 60 seconds or less. Timer starts after the twins activate and your character can move and ends when the killing blow is dealt. - Difficulty Factor 13/10
#1. "Solo Ice Queen Palace"
I would love to see someone try UIMF solo but...this place is unforgiving solo. There's a reason why there isn't a solo video of this out, it's the only area that's much easier in a group and nearly impossible to do alone. - Difficulty Factor 15/10
Erm, some further insight from ones I've actually done (Which is why they aren't on my list)
Solo Wildwoods (Snarby) - Difficulty Factor 11/10
Solo UFSC (Darkfire Vanaduke) - Difficulty Factor 12/10
Solo UIMF (Twins) - Haven't tried it.

Those sound fun, although I
Those sound fun, although I don't like the Roarmies in 60 seconds or less since I don't believe that level of speed is possible (the rockets are slow). Not to mention the luck required and somehow needing to be in three places at once to be on switches and kill both downed Roarmies simultaneously.
D24 in Proto sounds like hours of shooting zombies for 7 damage a pop. And then the trojans. Not sure I'd really be impressed about anyone doing that other than to admire their dedication.
Unless these aren't all meant to be solo efforts, in which case the first three are incredibly easy and the Roarmies are still impossible.

@ Kalaina-Elderfall
Actually #2 "A minute to win it", is doable. There was one week I was trying to speed run him. My top two are in video form, the next 6 are not. These are listed to show one set of continuously fast attempts, you think the fight is all luck but its' extremely specific, unforgiving execution which is why I put this on hold to try the other thing I was doing in that week. (Twins in Proto Gear)
1:41 --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AP7x1l8Wag
1:51 --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydeBwdGbULY
1:53, 1:57, 2:02, 2:34, 2:45, and 3:20
The 1:41 video leaves a 45 second gap and the 1:51 video leaves a 55 second gap exactly...so 56-60 seconds is possible.
There's a reason why I labeled #4 "Friendly Fire is a !@#$%" when referring to D24 FSC.
I actually attempted this once but did with 3 deaths at the last arena. 90% of the level can be COMPLETELY DONE WITH THE USE OF FRIENDLY FIRE ALONE. You'd then have to defeat the last arena with the proto sword and gun. I didn't just make these up without thinking about them.
"Edit: The only one I'm not sure about if it can be done....would be Soloing the Ice Queen Palace."
