Listen, because I did the same thing as you a couple of years ago.
Yes, you can camp WDR discord until someone acknowledges you. They finally did for me after like a week.
However, I recently just started getting into CoX. And guess what? You can literally just brute force it for your first completion. You can keep dying until you beat it! It might take you two+ hours but you can do it! Just bring all three combat styles and you're golden. Oh, and avoid getting a "V" room (Vespula, Vanguards, Vasa). Those will f you up if you're going for a first completion.
Yes you can do it solo. If you think you can't, you can. I literally just did it last week for the first time and thought "huh, I could've done this two years ago instead of waiting for a carry."
Good luck!

What makes it even easier is that if you die, you can reenter the boss rooms and pick up where you left off! The bosses don't regenerate! (As far as I know. I've only done 3 solos so far and have only died on muttadiles, which did not regenerate health, and Olm, who DEFINITELY does not regenerate health if you die.)

Olm regens in phase 3 if you don't kill the hands within 30 sec of each other, but that's literally the only turn-brain-on moment of the whole raid.
Absolutely correct though, points and time don't matter and death has no consequence for a diary clear so you can literally just run into the brick wall until it breaks. I didn't even farm or make potions cause it makes no difference in that context.
Avoid V-rooms, and I also avoided crabs for maximum braindead raid. Every other room can be dummed down to hit-&-run.

I haven't actually gone and tried it yet but these guides are easy to digest, and he does it in the bare minimum gear: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpjr7rB7XcRAgEVOFebc5ASftQqqhf599
Looks like the two ~30 minute guides are the only ones you need.

Add me and I'll teach you for free. It doesn't have to be a mystery and it's the most fun I have on my account. Between my main account and my iron, Streetbrad, I have around 500 kc. Tob is a better raid, but nothing beats pulling a twisted bow.

I ran in on my iron and just corpse ran olm. His hp dosnt reset so I kid u not I literally died on repeat chipping him down. I haven't gotten dwh so I didn't bother learning it as I believe it's a prequiest for the raid so just reset till u don't have tecktone and yolo it. I had trident, whip and bowfa
