59 Druid in SG

[Busher]

Would I have much luck charming seahorses in SG at 59? Are the swordfish charmable by druids?
Any advice? Thanks in advance.

SG is a lovely place to die.

I've helped keep those beaches free of rats for 14 levels, time to move on. Probably a bit over 8K notches on my Lumi staff :D

I have logged in to empty othmir camps a few times this week just to log right back out. Stay off mah land!

No, I kid. Let me know if SG works out for you. I could use a change of scenery too. Between goos and suits in WL and the genocide of othmir I have helped further, I have netted a total of 30%. Looks like 2019 for me, boys.

IKR? I've been 57 on my druid for like a year and a half. I do like 2 quads and feel so bored and stop. Or I'll charm 1 or 2 sets in the bear pits and quit out of boredom. I need some new scenery. A while back someone talked about aggro kiting ice burrowers in WW with a charm pet dpsing, but I'm too scurred to try it.

Bind in perma pits, check that regularly to charm to solo. If you have time, form chardok groups, druids are actually desired there for dog charm dps. Kedge is an option solo, but not as many blues at 59, so more sucky post-nerf. Potentially PoM xp? Never been there though, seems druids do alright.

I remember charming in SG with Nybras years ago.. It was an awful time, and i'm sure my druid charm skills drove him nuts haha. Sorry Nybras! Never did attempt charming in there again..

Hey, I am on my shawl quest and stuck at the part where I need to get a swordfish tooth for the shawl quest. If any of you druids would like a necro buddy to help out in there I would be glad to give SG a shot. Level 58.

After leveling a druid to 60 and killing raptors from 51 to 59 I would unequivocally tell you to suck it up and go to the bear pits in perma. I was scared to death at first but it is so easy and better exp than anything you can get at that level. There are youtube videos explaining what to do. Druids will even group with you and clear both top and bottom pits so they don't have to worry about breaking charm. Just do it.

Bear pits!

Lower camp is where the action exp is. This video explains it and it looks really intimidating, but it's very simple and easy once you get the hang of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC2RACrRz-8

Top camp easymode and not as good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2giftYIfuHo

I don't agree with everything they do in these videos --especially their guide on how to get to the bear pits involving training, binding, and porting out. Just root and camp the aggro. It's easy and safer than training. -- but they're solid introductions to the camp.

At 56 with 150 CHA, I could barely get bard charm to land. Many dashes to the zone line

CHA has zero effect on bard charm. only affects enchanters.

I did do the shawl bit in SG involving charming a seahorse killing the swordfish and then dying... Having to run naked in to loot the quest item. My experience is that it's hard to exp as a druid in SG due to both resisting mobs and scary pathing/adding. I allso did raptors and bear pit to get lvl 60 and it works. Other things to consider is quadding ghost armors on Wakeninglands maybe grabbing the odd Haze Panther selling the skin for 1k to a tailor. Or I think doing the forager/hunter cycles in Trak forrest killing the nameds that popps would give exp albeit a bit slow maybe? They do con DB to a lvl 60 tho. Happy hunting!

At the minimum you’ll need a chanter or shaman friend to debuff mobs magic resistance and even then it will be hard.

You otter know.

[Busher]

Sounds like it would be awful tough at 59. I think I may try some otter ideas.
Thanks for all the input.

Plane of Mischief!

On live, I'd never been there before....so on this server is where I first experienced it. Now I always take my characters there.

Not every character can make it a home. But a 59 druid is actually one of the few who can solo even at the upper end of things (necro, shaman, druid, enchanter, and cleric with a duo are good there).

Also very few people know this (since they go so late), but the yard stuff at the entrance is great for most solo classes at 46 up to 53ish. I went there with my necro and my ranger at 46 :3

Melee classes are a bit more tricky making it a home though (since getting back without a rez is tricky, unless you can bind there).

But druid? Oh yea, go to PoM, bind there....and maybe you will never leave, mu ha ho hoe he ho hehe.

Charming is def high risk high reward. If you want the fastest path to 60 do bears. If you're more about the journey you can root/rot in tons of places, HS, CoM, PoM etc etc. PoM seems a bit intimidating but once know the basics it's fine.
