PvP dynamic was that there could suddenly be a fully buffed and vp geared necro, wizard, etc, etc, popping in on you with 0 notice while you have 12+ mobs aggroed.

When I solo'd on my druids, I usually had about 6 aggroed at a time, and when I was duoing sometimes we would pull all 18ish bears/dogs/spiders at the same time.

I usually had about 5-10 minutes of downtime to succor out, resow, and med up. Usually never went below 60% mana on my druid when I was PL'ing down there.

In a full group, it was afk-easy. No chance of death from pve, plenty of space to pvp, and tons of consistent xp.

Got about 20%/hr at level 59 soloing.
Less in groups, of course, even with the xp bonus on red, you are still sharing mobs that you don't need help to kill.

At 52, I think I only kept about 10 mobs down, but it gets very easy very fast.

SK's and Rangers also have a great time fear kiting down there, can usually keep about 5 or 6 down around level 55 without going below 80% mana.

Biggest thing about bear pits is that you will go 8 hours with no interruption gaining tons of xp for no effort and then suddenly someone will gate in and start luring you down and pelling your dots, roots, pets.

It's pretty easy to handle if you are prepare though, just like anything in Everquest.


I remember one time, I caught Trauer (revy) down there on his enchanter (moron) and he was too dumb to run to Vox and get a free succor so he just stood there trying to mez me while I slashed him to pieces, lol.

Don't be dumb and its a great spot where nothing bad can happen to you.

Side note: I see tons of people boxing down there, like Make/Opps. Druid/monk is a very popular box down there but it's always super obvious when the monk fd's whatever is on him and the druid fights you 1v1 then when the druid dies the monk fights you 1v1, lol. Free YT's generally if you see a pair like that down there.

My favorite duo down there was a dw helm pally + a shaman. Pally just aggroes every single mob, runs in circles around the sham while he roots them up, then spams dw helm while the shaman cannis and root rots 18ish mobs at a time

It's slower than a druid soloing but it's a good time.

All of Dalnir, at level. Love that zone.

Probably the most unforgiven zone full of undercons.
