Subject: Report on Permafrost (PF)
Permafrost is quite a nice place for xp and loot (only refers to those
tougher gobs beyond the flag room). I spend 5 hrs there last night
soloing, and half of the time I'm the only soul in the zone. If we can
find a full house of lvl 18-22 to camp there, I believe all will lvl pretty
fast. The normal gob, thou mostly green to me, hit pretty hard. I also
lost count how many times I zone last night, due to train, probably more
than 30 times ;) The casters give pretty good loot and xp, and some even
drop bronze armors. Initially we go there as a 3 wiz, 1 magi, 1 bard and 1
shaman team. Frankly speaking the fire power is pretty strong but down
time is long due to the fact that we have to tank alot and spend time
resting and med. I believe if we can get 2 real-tanks, life will be much
easier. The place got a good mixture of melee & caster mobs. Tanks also
have problem soloing due to the caster mobs. Last night a lvl 20 shaman
and a lvl 20 warrior come in as a group (the other is a lvl 17 wiz, solo),
they also kena bang out of zone due to those gob diviner, medi and priest.
Those caster mobs' HP is pretty low, can killed them normally within 2-3
casts. H/w, the tricky part is some of them heal VERY fast and hit VERY
hard (lighting shock ~ 120dam per cast). If u dun waste them b4 they heal
themselves, u will find yaself in a very tough fight. Tat's how the lvl 20
warrior get killed at zone - he thought only 1 gob medi small fry and I was
monitoring the gob medi HP. I see it drop below 50% 3-4 times and when it
heals, it go back to at least 75%. In the end the warrior kena whacked
till death. Another problem that u need a caster in the group is becoz
thos gob are very cunning mobs. When u hit them to 10-20% hp, they sure
flee into the tunnel, and within 30-60 sec, u will see a train of 3-5 gobs
charging out ;)
I spend 5 hrs there (until 4am) just to fill up one bubb. Unless there is
kakis interested to camp there, I will go Lake to fight birdman tonight.
PF is very wulu wulu (thanks to Sereph's recommendation), usually not more
than 10 (last night not even 5 during my 5 hrs stay) and it's really a
power lvling ground for those who can survive. Sereph said he spend a
month there for his enchanter to gain from lvl 20 to 30, so must be good
lah. If u guys wanna bash SG like what Sereph's enchanter is doing, come
join me, hehe.

p/s: Unless u go beyond flag room and hunt, otherwise the loot is pretty
lousy for those gob outside enar zone. I earn less than 10pp last night
for a 5 hrs hunt. HH probably give much better loot but not as good xp for
the lvl 20s.
