Druid Leveling and Item Hunting Guide...

[mefdinkins]

Hello everyone,

After seeing the great work Kriven did with his cleric guide I wanted to try to contribute something similar for druids. I did a quick guide that explains root/rot, charmkiting, DDkiting, and quad kiting. Then I go on to suggest certain camps to level at. I also try to highlight some XP camps that could lead to decent upgrades (ei: Forest Loops).

Please let me know what you think and feel free to edit or talk to me here so I can continue to refine and make the product better.

An excellent guide. Read it all. Only modification I'd make that comes to mind would be the initial leveling suggestions. If the player was to make Gfay based Druid or a Halfling druid, I would recommend that the player move to the front of Kaladim for levels 1-5. If the Halfling has to make a brave run and do some mob dodging to the Docks at Freeport to do this, so be it.

The reason - The front of Kaladim on this realm is flippin' thick with goblin whelps but especially decaying dwarf skeletons. Tons of them. If the player is willing to focus on these, rounding them up in packs even and beating them down, they will reach level 5 in a pretty quick manner. Most importantly, they will collect upwards of 11-12 full stacks of bone chips in this time.

These can be turned in to Gunlok Jure in the Kaladim Paladin's guild for extremely rapid level gains... for a halfling, 10 stacks takes you from lvl 5 to lvl 8 - meaning you just got Meditate with an absolute minimum of pain and torment in reaching it.

I did this with my gnome mage, and it did get me from 4 to 6.5 in one go. I didn't get but half the stacks of bone chips listed here, but it is a goldmine of XP starting up, for sure.

Dont forget Crushbone Belts off Orcs in GF. You can get a full level from 5-6 with two backpacks full. They also sell fro around 2-3 plat each. Easy way to make cash for newbie.

+1 on your guide, Mef. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I like the Item Alerts especially!

One item I would add is to make sure you have at least 200 wisdom before attempting to quad, otherwise you WILL run out of mana before the mobs die (before lumi staff).

Also, the tick sitting method where you time your ticks out while you are quadding and sit before it to get full mana as if you were sitting.

Absolutely unnecessary. Choose better mobs.
