Having been through the same sort of thing, let me share a few of my
thoughts, and give you some ideas of where to hunt.
First off, try heading down to Guk. It sounds like you're in the area
anyway, and you can accomplish a few things at the same time by heading
down there. First, you can pick up lots of netted and woven armor from
the frogs. If you're lucky, you may find somebody selling some mesh
for cheap. Of course, if you alreay have mesh... Try to fight the
Froglok Guards, and perhaps even Tuks. Avoid Gaz or Ton unless you
have a very good group. Anyway, you can also pick up some pretty good
XP from the frogs, or, you can solo the crocs that are in Guk. They
are worth huge XP for that level. I don't remember exactly which level
I started soloing them, but it was somewhere right around 16 or 17.
With one other group member, you shouldn't have too much trouble at
all.
Another suggestion for hunting ground would be Unrest. It does tend to
be crowded, but at 16, you can fight the "lawn trash" that most people
just ignore. There are death beetles, tormented dead, and greater
skeletons that would be very good hunting. You may need to get in a
small group to do it, but you shouldn't have much trouble finding a
group in Unrest. Just stay off to the sides, away from the path, and
you should be Ok. Unrest is a really scary place, but there are some
really nice rewards.
You could also head over to Black Burrow and beat up some Gnoll Elites
and Commanders. You can gather up pretty good amounts of loot in BB,
plus you can get some great XP at the same time. You can usually get
into the rotation in one of the commander rooms (where up to 5
commanders and elites spawn) or just camp one of the spots where just
one spawns. It's not much fun camping alone, but can be interesting in
one of the larger rooms with people to talk to.
You could try Befallen, but I really, truly hate that place. I've died
more times in there than I care to think about.
Paw is a great place to go too if you can get into a group. You can
beat up nobles and even commanders, plus maybe take a shot at some of
the named gnolls. Plus, you can collect the stuff needed for your red
headband.
Well, there are several ideas, and the top two are my favorites. I
still really enjoy hanging out in Unrest or Guk. If you want any other
info, feel free to ask.
Now, on to my blues, can anybody give me any ideas of where to hunt at
level 22? Specifically, Unrest is great, but a little too crowded at
my level, unless I can get into a room and camp it. Guk is good, but
it's very hard to get a group going. Runnyeye scares the hell out of
me with the giant trains of Dazed and Crazed Goblins that come pouring
up on a regular basis. Highpass would be good if it weren't for all
the kill stealing. I guess I could just use a few new ideas.
Also, what should I be looking for for equipment? I have a full set of
Mesh, LJ Tunic, Leering Mask, Red Headband, Collar of Undead
Protection, two Gold Wedding Rings (+5 AGI), two Onyx Earrings (+2
AGI), and a thick leather apron. I currently have about 75 PP, and I'm
wondering if there's anything specifically I should be looking for at
my level and monetary situation.
Anyway, sorry about the long rambling post, and good luck to you all!
