Lvl 20 - 25 Permafrost hunt possible?

[Hudorm]

We would like companions to venture into Permafrost with us tomorrow. We're a 23 shaman and a 22 Shadow Knight. At 6am American EST (off peak) 12/18.

In game names are Ramum (me) and Trumtrum.

Perhaps the bigger questions will be is it possible at our level to hunt there at all and hopefully gain some experience and some experiences?


Feedback appreciated.

Send me a direct message here to let me know if you're interested.

You can do the zone area in Perma at 20, plenty of action and you can bail across the zone whenever needed.

A couple of years ago I duo'd (on a monk) with a paladin friend in Perma for many levels (up to around 37 I think). We were a bit higher than you (late 20's I think) when we started but as noted you can start at the zone in and work your way in from there. Good luck, and have fun!

Yeah, agreed. Most go there when they are already too high. Just take it slow, use the zone as needed.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll report back how it went tomorrow. No requests -YET- to join us. Offer remains.

Its actually a cool zone and has pretty good XP bonus but as others say, it can be a little brutal and also a very far CR if you wipe. The wizards and evokers nuke really hard, much harder than the sol a goblins of the same level range. Also the prelates are clerics which are equally annoying as shamans. Their heals land for alot. If you had a full group or at least 4 people you could camp the flag room (easy exit but close enough to an abundance of mobs)

I tried to make a group for it when the server first opened but we never got enough people. I've seen groups of the mid 20s killing there sparingly though, so I know it's possible.

Do they? The cinder gob wizards in sola were nuking me for 170. They were blue to me at 24. What do the perma gobs nuke for?

Right at 20/21 if I'm remembering correctly is perfect for the zone camp. A couple gobs path down to the zone, there are two at the top of the stairs to the mine proper, couple more pathing the two directions you can go from there to the next room. You can do those steady for a couple levels, then start fighting into better rooms.

But it's like Sol A, one single gob gets away from you and it's run for the zone screaming and hooting time while shouting choo choo. But we liked both Perma and Sol A just for that challenge, group of not overpowering level has to be really on its toes and coordinating correctly to keep those camps under control. Or get an enchanter, but that's cheating. Lot more interesting to do it with just root, as you can't just mezz your way out of every mess.
