This has been a great guide/read. I was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for making some PP and or XP at 53. I haven't played him in about a year but I was hoping to try to save up to get his epic and what not. Lguk sounds like it would be pretty tough without Epic. Anyone have any off the wall spots that might be good?

I cant give you anything but the best vanilla spots in the world!

53-60 is my all time favorite leveling on the shaman.

I spent a lot of time 53-57 bouncing between the Captain camp in Karnors - its a great spot cus its easy to get to, camped like only 50% of the time, and if thigns go bad there is easy access to the zoneline. It also has easy access to many other players XPing so yu can get clarlity pretty easily and or cleric buffs. As you level up and get practice, it has exactly enough mobs available for you to solo & time out all the spawns in the entire camp.. AND its not easy at ALL to steel mobs from your camp, cus you basically have to pull them through you, as there is only one access or pathing rout to kite the mobs to another camp.

My next and most beloved spot to level is in SolB. You can get deep into the bats and bugs area, and camp near where the guano paths towards the zone to SolA. Its a fantastic spot that only attracts mature good everquesters.. so everyone you meet there youll enjoy duo'ing with and chattnig about classic EQ... once you get to level 57 there things start to turn green and ist time to make your way to the lillypads, and learn how to camp the Freeti Trash.. The freeti trash got me through 59 in 9 hours of solo grinding 3 days, in 3 hour spurts. It was so fun. Its a great spot and each camp break is really easy once you figure out how to time the pathers and where not to stand etc.

Start by killing the 2 guards at the lillpyads, then kill the pather at the base/mouth of the cave, then move in and use goblin nets to root the 3 at the next platform and kill them, then pull the 2 out of the way merbs.. then move up the ramp towards freeti area and then back down to the mout of the cave as everything starts spawning again.

Handly my favorite leveling spot in the game.

Once you get 60, go farm tranix and sit uppon the crown as the king of SOLB! like all shamans should.

Haha excellent. Thanks! This stuff considered doable without epic though?

yikes no not at all [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I suggest working primarily on getting your epic, 99% of the fun of a shaman is using it to solo!!!

If you're looking to get one MQ'ed before the changes get made, send colcelot a PM, he's reasonably priced compared to some sellers... mention SWISH2 and he might give you a discount [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Til higher up, don't worry bout buffs or heals on pet, just treat him like a dot, not a pet!. It takes too much mana healing him and buffing etc when you are low.
Root rot mob, send pet in til pet is 40%hp, back off, send pet in again when mob flees.
Pet also works to split mobs, you root one - send pet on other, root other without aggro, then back off pet.
These are the things that are useful and really help. Don't think of him like a pet like a Mage/necro - there pets are a lot better.
Also, camp one of the Mage clickie items, to reclaim mana on pets. They are clickable by any class from inventory slot. That way you can keep casting til you get a max level pet, this also makes the pet last a bit longer in fights and do a bit more damage. The items are soloae at 34. I did it as iksar in full banded, so any sham should be able to.

Solid answer, makes a lot of sense. Thanks!!

How much does MQ for epic usually cost? Is that with or without the faction? Separate prices?

[Lamil]

Yea I've seen but I don't have that kinda cash. Guess I need to find some PP camps first.
Thanks for the tips guys!

Just hit 26 and have been doing SK hermit on my troll shammy. I'm looking for maybe two spawns level 23ish with a 5-6 minute spawn time so I can do homework in between. Any ideas of the top of your heads? I'm scouring the wiki for a few ideas and might give the guards outside of Surefall a shot.

Shaman epic MQs generally cost around $25k-$35k including supplying fear tear and force to down Rak'Ashiir. You need max ally TrueSpirit faction before you turn in to get the pointy stick.

Not positive but you could probably do Warslik Woods giants? A lot of them in there so you could pretty much pull when you want. I can't remember if they are higher than that or not.
