Ran over, checked it out for a minute, camped, and planned to break into it tomorrow. Got a few questions though.. Centaurs have no faction, but are they social? Can each of the forts be 1-2 mob pulls or do all 3 come at once ?

They are social, what I did was kill the roaming ones. Some of the ones in the huts are far enough away not to agro, also sometimes there are people killing higher level ones and you can go in and grab the lowbies.

At 25 I could kill the foals (green but xp) archers and shelites (blues). The most you'll get if you pull the rooms is 2, but I wouldn't pull a room if it had a courser or charger in it as they are higher and I didn't want to risk them aggroing. There's one by the fire that comes solo, and a couple that path in and out of the camp that are solo. It's not a bad place, and if there's too many higher lev centaurs there's plenty of elephants/bull elephants and aviaks that wander just by the camp.
I am wearing banded with 4/45hp rings and a PWC so it doesn't require lots of gear. Main problem I had was that the shelites and archers fire arrows, so you can't root/rot. But if you root and dot then go out of sight (even behind a small tree) then they won't shoot you and you can med in peace!

Sounds about how I am geared. I'm 29 almost 30 now doing the Treants. The best thing to do with them, for me anyway, is to pull with dispel and melee. I dispel until I get the thorns off in between bashes and 1 envenomed breath. They drop fast but rarely fast enough at this level to clear both before the first respawns. At first I was pulling with malo but they aren't very resistant honestly. The highest spawn (hits for 56) is the only one that occasionally resists the first poison dot I cast.

Would it not be quicker/easier to just try to blast a few nukes on the treants?

They are casters and have 500-600 HP I believe, so a couple nukes + PWC smashes should do the trick.

Anxious to try them out, always wanted to camp them but never played an evil character...

Until now, and thanks to this guide (thanks BlkCamel) - oggah sham is now 24 and well on his way!

Yeah I found it much easier to nuke em down otherwise they'll tear you apart if you try and melee them down.

The centaur huts going towards the NK bridge from treants are not kos and there is a merchant. Bind at or near him for easy gating or just there. If merchant doesn't have gems use the ones you get from treants, after you have converted the gold buy your gems back to use a light weight store of value.[You must be logged in to view images.

For red players: Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I tried this gem selling method and it doesn't work. For some reason this merchant does not save your sold items like most merchants in Norrath. It seems to have a very particular set of items it is willing to get rid of. your best bet is to get a port at the nearby NK spires to closest evil bank.

As great and useful as this guide is, so far as a 32 Shaman I've found FAR better xp soloing old world dungeons like Unrest / UpperGuk and soon Lguk. The cash may not quite be as good as at the treants or something, but the xp is far, far better.

This is due to newbs dumping crap on vendors till their inventory fills up.

It's quicker and easier, but on red there's enough traffic of similarly leveled people in SK that I try to be as conservative with my mana as possible while keeping at least 13 buffs up in the correct order. I Just have to be more wary, it IS a cash camp.

any suggested solo camps for 34+ evil sham in Upper/lower guk? Love the zone but I have never soloed it before.
Thanks!
