Alt place to quad kite?

[Zalora]

I have a 53 Druid and I'm sick of quad kiting raptors in Timorous Deep because I suck and they always kill me. Is there any good alternative places to quad kite?

Charming is out of the question because charms always break. :mad:

Unfortunately, there aren't any places to quad kite at 53 besides raptors at the moment. In velious however there are wyverns/othmir in Cobalt Scar that are great for quadding to lvl 60. Charming is more risky, but deffinetly the fastest way for a druid to level solo.

Many times when I was leveling my druid up I would resort to the much safer/steady root/dot method.

Dwarf guards in BBM will get you to 54, mayybe 55.

[SamwiseRed]

root rot in highkeep if you dont care about faction to 54

If charms are breaking you're doing it right.

Unless you are dead set on doing something for 3 minutes then afking for 20 minutes medding, and doing house work or work work... I highly suggest you don't discount charming.

Charming will level you twice as fast as quadding easily once you get it down.

Get yourself a lumi staff and kite non casters inside KC.

Dungeon kiting ftw.

[Teadar]

The drolvarg at KC entr. Aregood....just grab them and 2 other blues

This. Can quad kite in CoM too.

If you absolutely need to be in open areas consider burning wood. Watch for adds and casters.

53 druid should be welcomed into many groups with open arms !

You just got superior heal ! The world is your oyster now....

[Dweed]

they go light blue at 49 =/

Those are the dwarves by the water. I'm talking about the dwarf guards along the path from docks to kaladim then south a ways. Did them on my wizard to 55

If COM moat mobs are still DB to you, then you can use walkways on either side
to kite. Outside zone, so wolfform and harmony good. Chanters in zone can
help you with C/C2 possibly or you can duo with them for easy xp.

[Supaskillz]

There are DBS in dl still. But you should charm

[Raavak]

I quaded DL at 53.

I saw a druid root rot the ramparts/ invis ramp to 60 without breaking a sweat

[BattleToad]

Burning Woods giant fort, Verdants are easy. Can root/rot or quad them. The rim around the fort though is a gauntlet of enemies to dance around while quadding.

If you have a huge mana pool and a lumi staff ..and the stars align.. you can quad Seafury Cyclops in OoT.

The best Druids soloed to 60.

Grouping weaken and dull your skills. Every level you group through you need to solo a level to shake off the badness that is grouping. Especially full conventional tank/cleric/slower groups. Unconventional charm groups or groups where you pull or CC are fine.

This is accurate.

[JayBruce]

I did a mix of spirocs and raptors at 53, many spirocs are light blue at this point, but with a lumi staff it goes so fast and you can chain pull. At 54 I started charming in Permafrost bear caves and I probably won't be leaving until 60. It's great exp once you get used to it and gets progressively easier each level you gain. At 56 now, I feel like I could do it in my sleep.

[Zalora]

Is root rotting a good alternative? Just curious.

If so, where is a good place to go for that?

[deadlycupcakez]

saw you there last night jay! im confused about quadding with a 10s cast on lumi staff... just seems like you could get fuqqqed and that you need a LOT of space in between you and mobs

[kuuky]

I have been quadding with Lumi since 46. Just get out of range and click it until it fires. Easy Peazy. Since I am 51 now I am concentrating on my Chanter alt while I wait for velious. So one less quadder out there for now.

Root rotting and Quadding are not good alternatives to charming.

For charming:

14-24 - North/East Karana - Griffins / Wolves
24-30 - Everfrost - Mammoths
30-54 - Kedge - Everything except mermaids** expert level required
30-50 - Overthere - rhino, tigers, cocks
54-60 - Permafrost - Bears, wolves and spiders in pit. If duo can do IGs

Grats on 60, now be a boss.

Chickens aren't charmable... least the ones in DL aren't. They are demon spawn...

you cant charm the cocks in DL? man this game has messed up definition of what is 'an animal'

Where is the pit in permafrost? Never been there

Kinda skeptical about charming in a narrow dungeon, since charms always break.

Giants and other large mobs are currently impractical to kill with lumi staff with latest mob runspeed changes. They fixed quads breaking apart at low health but the runspeed is still too fast.

[Tankdan]

+1 on Dreadlands. So many mobs are light blue to my lvl 56, im sure a lot are blue at 53. And if all else fails, can kill the skele's which are much higher level.

This is everquest not easyquest. If you suck, practice.

[Cecily]

I think it's more of a problem with the quad spell we have at that level. Raptors are easy to kill with Fist of the Karana, but they are really difficult with the one before that. You run out of mana and lumi killing will get you breaks on ensnare. Mid 50s are no fun on druid.

it was fun when raptors were animals :(

Mid 50's in bad-mode Druid are no fun*** fixed for you.

Kedge and Permafrost are solid fun. Chardok was occasionally fun to charm a dog and try to snipe a mob wearing a shield or staff or sword.

I should start offering Kedge Keep charming lessons...

[Supaskillz]

Need lessons? Buy ghazugi ring, Put back on walls, charm sharks, use your your brain and spells, Get insane zem, profit. Charming is so much better than quadding unless you don't actually like playing eq and just want to mostly be afk

[Erati]

the most important item for a druid charmer is that Goblin Ghazugi ring, Supa is right

it makes things soooooooo smooth, and you wonder how you ever charmed without it.

also in Kedge you can basically swim through the entire zone just with that ring, only mobs you have to avoid at mermaids ( 1 specific area ) and Phinny ( 1 specific area )

[Koota]

seafuries dagg

[Juevento]

Alternatively (and I try to tell this to every Druid I can) is to find a rogue buddy and snare kite the crap out of zones. I'd be willing to bet it's pretty close to charming in terms of exp and with much less risk of charm breaks.
