There are Bats in the Warrens, so you are incorrect there.

Ah, so there are! So are you recommending that a druid start charming in the Warrens instead of EK or LoIO? What's the pitch? Seems cramped compared to the outdoor zones.

Reread the thread please. You've made a habit of not reading what people post, and then ask the same questions repeatedly.

I'll take that as a concession that you don't have an argument for any alternatives to either EK or LoIO for a charming druid.

Warrens actully is an outdoor zone, believe it or not.

I meant in terms of having enough space to be able to run away on charm breaks and recharm without getting hit. It's an important skill to be able to charm in cramped areas but I wouldn't recommend learning to charm that way.

EK's got a slighly more convenient zoneline, a friendly guard at the bridge, and plenty of space along the river without risk of adds. LoIO doesn't have the zoneline or the guards but it does have plenty of space.

I seem to recall you suggesting warrens into paneel. There's no charming in those zones. There's no where to plat farm while charming until the 40s.

Seems like you're suggesting this person who wants to "be doing as much charm killing as I can" do something other than charming.

aren't there rats and bats in warrens at least?
?

I think mighty bear paw may count too. I'm sure I did him on a shaman long ago?

edit:

Yea so frenzied rat is like level 10, the big bats are like level 15, then there is a bit of a pause, with bear paw being 24 (conveniently the upper limit of befriend).

I got curious about this (for the Per-Level Guide), so I went looking ... but I couldn't find any posts, from any forum (here, Reddit, etc.) where a Druid actually reported charming either rats or bats in the Warrens. Heck, even the Per-Level guide only mentions the zone up to 10.

On paper it sounds like a great spot for a low-level Druid, but I wonder if it's actually practical at low levels, with no goblin ring.

If anyone out there has actually soloed it I'd love to hear a report. I almost want to level another Druid up just to test it myself ...

imo you'd be better off visiting loio and doing courier field. Especially if you fancy dabbling in cultural and you're playing a wood elf. You will earn many excellent tiger skins!

The challenge of moving your bat or frenzied rat around the zone and finding spots for recovery seems quite fun to me. I appreciate that kinda play is better in small doses than in marathon XP grinds though.
