Yes, giants will be tougher. They have a higher max hit and a shit ton more AC than the guards. We can't see the raw stats but I'm sure the HG has significantly higher damage related stats than a skellie.

Well I'm not strong enough to fight one on my own then. I'll just have to try again at 45, possibly as late as 49 when I get new spells. I thought this was going to be a reasonable mob for Ranger leveling.

Back to Paineel I guess.

Yetis in DL are really good around 40

Yetis are a pretty good suggestion really. They are not nearly as tuff as a HG. Hill giants have always been a bit of an under con. They hit a little harder, more AC, and have a ton more HP than any mob in classic of equivalent level. How about specters in oasis and feerrott? They hit quite hard but have low HP and they run slower than most mobs. Otherwise maybe a various zone and fear kite animals?

Yea HG's are going to eat you for lunch. Prob 45 with a fungi. I could keep them down with crap gear at 45 with a deepwater helm with my paladin but that is a lot of healing.

I'd invest in fletching and a good bow. Maybe a spare index finger.

Based on OP's other posts they are looking for something that gives solo exp and cash, which is why they decided to return to Paineel for possibly less exp but steady vendor cash. Yeti's won't net much cash.

A ranger can burn up HK guards on 4th floor to 45. 5-10p a kill.

Even Oggok guards are much easier than HG's; I think the xp modifier is like 2x. You might have to bow-rot if things go sideways so bring a lot of arrows.

I already decided at 49-51 I'm going to try killing guards in Grobb, if it's true that each of them carries a Long Sword and a Round Shield.

Pretty much this. 1-2 mob camps with 5-10 kills an hour, and at least a consistent 5-10pp per kill.

My goal is to have 100k banked right around the time I hit 60, so I can afford Earthcaller. I'm at 15k so far and halfway into level 40.

[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It's actually even better: now sometimes they also drop Fine Steel (or drop it in place of the shield), and/or they drop gems. Great zone.
