don't get the joke, her and that other chick in Rathe Mts have been afk Caster camps since forever.

It may be because I don’t play twinks (it’s not fun for me), but I’ve consistently had terrible luck trying to exp with her as a shaman, necro, and enchanter. I actually found a YouTube video that was several years old and the dude was talking about how tough she is even as a level 52 necromancer and how the exp basically stops at 53 😹

After almost two years of not trying her, I finally decided to do it again on a new character, got 15% exp from her, and then had two random cyndreela spawns that resisted everything and beat me to death back to back and was now at less exp than where I had been the night prior after grouping with people for hours

And I was drunk lmao

So I raged out and made this thread

I feel like wiki should warn that this camp is kind of meme’ish (especially for the suggested level bracket) or maybe I should make a YouTube video recording why the camp sucks after a random god tier Cyndreela spawns into the game albeit idk if my heart can take it

If only there were a way to edit that entry to change its level, add a note, etc.

If only ...

For what it's worth, I always take caster camps with a grain of salt. As you noted, if you get a really bad run of RNG during a kill, things can go south pretty quickly if you're also a caster (especially one with no way to quickly regen the health a DoT might be taking out of you).

I know Nilbog nerfed her resists down years ago, so I think your experience might just be the shitty streaky RNG that you sometimes get hit with in EQ. But yeah good rule of thumb to consider when looking at any caster camp if you're squishy is that the entry isn't necessarily written from a perspective of "if you're squishy and things go bad RNG-wise you'll still be fine".
