hahaha I'm a high elf enchanter. I guess this means if I farm sisters, I just have to start running to ak'annon for spells?

I think you could still use the int caster guilds, only NPC in the way is Elia the Pure and only barely.

David wanted you to have this.
In addition to the high elf pallies and clerics you also lose faction with the Druid and Ranger guild in Kelethin. You could probably just invis past the pallies in Felwithe and the Rangers/Druids are off on their own and easily avoided.

So what's the deal with Holgresh Elder Beads? I understand they're going to go away soon, but why do people want them in the first place? What advantages are gained from having access to Eye of Zomm?

Good thing there's a double xp bonus coming up eh? Plow through that hell level.

But I'm right there with you, I'm 30 and I'm finally about to ding 31 after grinding forever.

I plowed through 30 in a couple of nights mindlessly killing things in LOIO. It's a really safe and easy place to find and solo blues at this level, though it's drying up pretty hard at 32. I'll definitely have to leave once I ding 33. I've heard that the Frontier Mountains ledge is a good place to go for this level, but where in Frontier Mountains is that exactly?

20 is actually kind of a nice level, since that's when the melee damage cap comes off and you can take full advantage of the good and cheap 2hb weapons available to shamans. Pick up the best 2hb you can afford (ideally a Poison Wind Censer, but something like a Runewood Great Staff is probably fine for now) and you can mindlessly face tank stuff for quite a while. Pull with a DoT and then just bash away. Some +HP items will make this safer.

For 20-22 you can do gnoll reavers, gorge hounds, and other blues in East Karana. For 22-24 you can do the aviak guard towers in Lake Rathetear. At 24 you get a bunch of good new spells, and a lot of stuff opens up to you.

I suppose so you have more charges than a stalking probe and don't have to recharge them. Allows melee to more safely pull caster mobs as the eye takes the first hit. I am not sure but a person might be able to open locked doors with them too.

From where you zone out in FM from LOIO there are several pathers and even a few static brute spawns. The front of the FM Giant Fort has a few pathers and two door guards that can be single pulled. The front of the FM Giant Fort is pretty popular place and is pretty safe, a lot of people camp out next to the fort near where the fort and a hill meet because nothing paths there.

I did East Karana as a druid from like 14 to 24ish and moved to North and South Karana. KFC and elephants are great in SK and hunting griffennes in NK is good for a charm casting druid.

Monks use them to pull in raiding guilds, but you can also supposedly life tap the eyes. Someone was mentioning that in guild chat last night, I didn't realize you got that much hp from life tapping something with such low hp.

Any ideas where a couple 51 druids and a 54 monk can get some exp?

Been trying to do some UG groups lately.

Previous UG forays have been successful on my 30 bard (Vedder) and 40 SK (Noctolin). Looking forward to that hybrid exp pen being patched out.

Aggro or fear kiting anywhere would work. Anything else is going to take a lot of medding. Perma pits are probably the best XP for that level range assuming you guys know how to get down there and can avoid training yourselves repeatedly once you're there. KC is also a great place to aggro kite with easy druid pulls and lots of kiting room around the edges of the moat/front of the zone. You could do CS wyverns too but I assume those are camped out the rear end by quadders.

Alternate plan: pick a druid to roll a shaman/enchanter and PL it up with the druid and monk. Then go camp whatever you want :D

Thank you for the tips. Much appreciated!

I actually have a 23 or 24 enchanter I was already planning on gearing up again. I kept saying something similar that we need something else to really make it a great trio. I have always wanted an enchanter so maybe I'll have the motivation to get him leveled this time.

I was also looking at Perma pits tonight when checking out a Druid charm guide. I am very hesitant about doing that thought as I've never really charmed with my druid.

Hi hello there our Red Ckroo is now in Crystal Caverns at lvls 30-31. Are you a red player that doesn't post much and wants to do something terrifying and fun? Let me know here or send me a tell in game on Willcat or Scoobs or Teddy and we can arrange to have you teleported out here to your (nearly) certain death!

Crystal Caverns is super fun and dangerous and drops good loot especially for casters, so if you want to experience the time of your life you should probably join us! (healers real welcome so we dont have to use an OOR dude we have parked there)

Dude, that was awesome. Squeek was the pk, i was the only person in range, we had me (cleric) another cleric, and the druid PL all healing me. The dude kept spamming pumice on me, he must have removed 20+ buffs over the course of the fight. He eventually tried to run away and go invis, someone hit me when See invis, so I started chasing him. When he went behind a pillar to hide and I start kept hitting him, he freaked out and ran backwards... into a skeletal monk. Took an xp death and logged off lol

I went from level 21 to almost 26 in that group. Now Edricks and I are going to have to rob a bank to buy our level 24 and 29 spells lol

There was also Maxfaps, who was higher than squeeks and ruthlessly hunted me across the dagnors unrest zone line until the druid showed up and just kept me buffed and healed until the rest of the halfling calvary from the guild arrived.

Me and Frank are in a great guild on red. If you aren't on red already, come give it a try. Less camped and good groups, even if you have to put up with griefers everyone now and then.

It's really not worth it, better to just outlevel content and buy/farm velious and kunark poo poo.

SolA is ok if you have a group. Otherwise just do MM and ride that train to 35+, even with the PKs it is by far the fastest route.

Alternately you could hit us up when we're on and come to Velious with us for super dangerous funtimes.

Stopping for the night at 32-34. Next time we're on we're going to do spiders/stalags/geonids, then probably shift focus over to the Tower of Frozen Shadow and all the sweet caster gear that drops there. Then the long slog through 35 and the sprint to 40.

Fought off twinked PKs in mistmoore for half the day. Managed to kill one, force the others to plug a half dozen times. No deaths, no plugs, though we left when 3 of them teamed up because we'd wounded their pride so badly. Naked casters are no joke.
