Good zones to Duo lvls 1-60 Necro/Druid

[ScottBerta]

Hello P99 family, my brother and myself are planning on making a Druid and Necro for our first alts. We want to mostly duo old world outdoor zones and dungeons. We both typically exp in Kunark and Velious so don’t want to duo those continents with alts. Can anyone who has maybe duo’d Necro/Druid please give some zones and lvl suggestions for us. Thanks for the help and advice.... starting to get euphoric thinking of lvling a new char ...been a long time!

I'd do..

1-12 Greater Faydark / Crushbone (for access to druid and necro spells). Assuming the necro isn't an iksar if you're doing old world stuff mainly.

12-18 Oasis (crocs/orcs), there's a quiet spot for orcs near the zone in from North Ro along the mountainous side.

18-25ish East Karana - wolves, spiders

Upper Guk is good if you want to be indoors from a lowish level

24-32 Highkeep (?) - indoors for fighting but technically an outdoor zone

32+ Kedge Keep isn't bad, certainly different

37-45 Spectres in Oasis or Feerott

46-50+ Highkeep nobles (will lose West/East Freeport guard faction etc)



Something like that. Lower Guk is also good from 32-50+, Sol A from mid 20s, Sol B from 35ish.

Great list. What do your think of The Warrens, and Splitpaw?

[Swish2]

Warrens definitely if you're local, think it's 6-7 minute respawns... you could both gate and go from the start again if you get too deep.

Splitpaw pathing can be messy but its a lot of fun, maybe get the necro's summon corpse spell to drop while you're in there? ^^

Oh man, great combo I'm jelly. Utilize those dungeons flagged as 'outdoor' so your druid buddy can use harmony.

hard to top swish here but I know for sure that CoM and KC are the places to be once you are high enough level for em. OT ramp is really good in the mid 30's because you can often get clarity from passing enchanters while keeping up constant fear kites. Crystal Caverns is awesome in the 30's too if you want to do some root rotting.

[ScottBerta]

Do you have any old world zone recommendations?

Befallen in the teens.

Druid/necro sounds like a strong duo in Unrest, but it's often heavily camped.

I loooove me some sola, so I always recommend that.

Temple of Cazic-Thule is severely underused.

What's that zone on the other side of the warrens? Stonebrunt Mtns? Some neat quests there and level restricted looting means it's empty of farmers.

Kedge if you wanna be a badass.

Lower Guk is usually wide open nowadays with the occasional farmer camping ass/sup for TBBs.


Really though, any place the druid can charm and fear-kiting is possible, you guys are gonna be beasts. Don't need to drop pet for the xp hit and 2 pets will chew shit up.

Oasis crocs, EK wolves, Overthere animals, etc are good for that.

Aviaks in Lake Rathetear for the teens. Easy mobs, classic as hell, and a very peaceful zone. In 20s the giant skeletons in Rathe Mountains will be fantastic to duo with a necro.

Definitely. Just keep away from that "pyramid" area, I think it's the higher level stuff. The healers will heal whatever you're trying to kill - it's infuriating. It's the area where pieces for the dark forge (SK) armor quests can drop though so there might be some cash to be made as there's a lot of demand for starter SK gear on the server ^^

(always good to be able to gather stuff on the side while hunting)

We did double necro - kurns 8-22 (or 23) is great - we started naked so being able to not have to buy bone chips till 55+ helped.
23-40 was unrest (29-35 in hag tower) 35-40 in the rest of unrest.
40-49 was kaesora. (xalgoz typically)
49-55 was nobles/bards in hhk.
55-60 HS

We charmed from unrest basement up, having a second person lets you use the fact pets dont steal exp.

I would suggest doing the bandit sashes in west karanas so you can afford to buy spells.

Is Necro mandatory? Druid/enc would be much more powerful and versatile. Anywhere you have animals you’re basically wrecking and when you can’t charm the druid can sorta heal with enc slow.

The problem 50+ With druid/Necro is that you won’t really be able to charm together anywhere, can’t even attempt to heal a pet without slow, so you’ll be stuck basically just casting winged death and an occasional nuke. better off going shaman/necro or cleric/necro or druid/enc imo

Plenty of zones with skeletons and animals LoiO, OT, FV, DL, Oasis, upper Guk, etc
This combo with necro FD and Druid harmony sow ports Regen and good root rotting etc will be pretty powerful and shouldn’t have problems leveling with ease

You’re right but Nowhere you mentioned has to do with 50+ As I originally indicated. It’s a totally different ballgame and since so many people lose steam at 50 when the mob difficulty skyrockets, it’s just not that great of a combo in those levels which are the hardest.

[LaZZlow]

A fun zone for your duo might be Skyfire Mountains, by the BW or OT zone lines,, Fear kite works nice and track is very helpful. Plus you get chances for 50+spells … watch out for the chromas!!

Howling Stones duo 50+. Necro charm, druid support

Maybe chardok. I don't have much experience there, but I think druids can charm the dogs?

Necro is better off soloing in HS with this duo. Chardok doesn't have enough dogs/undead to charm xp with without a slower/healer. Never said it wasn't possible, you can make almost any duo work in this game. It's just gonna be nowhere near as fun/powerful as druid/enc. The amount of synergy between those 2 classes when animals are involved is insane.
