Well... time will tell... but... the Aviaks in South Karana tend to have a
research component 1 out of every 10 or so I kill. And they tend to have
words more often than other components. At 18 you should be able to do the
lower level aviaks egrets and Darters. You will have to be careful with
Rooks. But should be able to get them if you are in a group. And Harriers
and Avocets will be a bit beyond your skills. (harriers are about 24th
level, Avocets are about 28th level)
Egrets MAY be too low a level to have words... but I do not remember.
The problem is that this is now a heavily camped "city". There is not much
problem with kill stealing (people seem polite about that...) BUT kiting
does not happen. If an aviak is running about... it gets taken (so in that
way it may be "stolen" but it is hard to tell it belongs to someone when it
is running around... it looks like you are running for help)
