Semi AFK Root Nuke leveling spots as a Druid
 

Hi lovely bunch!
I have a friend who was into EQ way back in the classic days who wishes to play his druid at work. He works in his own office as a writer so he has the ability to log on to EQ anytime. He feels a semi afk root and nuke style would fit him the most, where he can alt tab in between writing and nuke now and then.
Im looking for suggestions on a leveling path where this is do-able.
He plays an Halfling Druid, so Hide makes this an easy option for him.
His level at the moment is 24
Anyone wanna share some good spots with him? :)

I'd say maybe Aviaks in SK? He'd probably need to harmony his pulls to keep things manageable.

If he doesn't care about faction, the 6 minute bard diet would probably be a perfect fit.

I can suggest a spot. Tell your friend to try Frebin Tinderhue in Steamfont Mountains, he's a level 25 gnome warrior on a 6 minute timer.. he's inside the middle windmill before you get to the Minotaur caves. Solo spawn and the watchman guard won't aggro from outside while killing him so it's really chill :) see how he likes it. He can stay there till like 28-29

East karana crag spiders until 27-28. gold/silk are about 1 plat per kill. village on east side is great for converting gold/silver to plat.

This is an ok spot but here there are random lions and wolves that are Kos. He has hide tho so should be ok

Thanks, good stuff! Yeah Hide should give him lots of options for this kinda playstyle, glad he chose a race with Hide, hopefully he will be porting us around soon :)

For the amount of time I spend making sure Hide works I'm better off just running to a safe spot and medding there. But yeah if you want to be static AFK guy just keep at it until it works I guess.

i don't have the exact numbers, but if i had to guess i would say that racial hide (50) works under 4 tries about 90% of the time. in the very vast majority of zones it is a 100% safe way to go AFK. it is definitely worth it!

back to OP, i hope Root + DD is not literally what he is doing / wants to do ?
no matter how lazy he is, root + dot x4 is where it's at, then maybe a low level DD to finish the mob up if you really have to.

at 24 with track you can definitely do south karana, or other karanas, as was suggested. check out for the hermit. Unrest, Kerra Isle, Najena or Everfrost Peaks also come to mind.

He is lazy, believe me :p
My thought was that he could burn down 1 or 2 mobs then sit afk medding, and get back to his writing.
Thanks for all replies !

What level now??
