You can get up to 6pp (3pp and 30+ gold) in 1 tree.
1/3 Chance of getting a lightstone worth about 9.5 gp to NPC.
1/10 chance of getting a great staff worth 17pp to NPC.
Woodshards are useless unless desperate for money (Destroy them)
Fraction lost is not much to me. I play an Erudite wizard and never gonna
intend on going back to Qeynos or Surefall Glade anymore. And after
killing like 500+ treants. Treants Kos me. Qeynos guards judge me amiably.
Surefall Glade guards judge me amiably. That place is suitable for levels 24
to 33. At 34 no more xp.
When hunting treants, cast see invs before any buffs. Then buff fully, then
off see invs and memorise cancel magic. If they dot you cast cancel magic
and dot is gone. You can cancel dot on pet too.
I get about 1/4 a bub of xp when grouping with another guy around 2 levels
lower than me killing 2 treants each time at levels 30,31.
Slightly slower at levels 32 and 33 but much faster than dungeons and
virtually no chance of death, though its quite boring but the cash justifies
for it.
------------
You can hunt in Beholder. Easier than treants. First time you go there, the
2 eyes will have pet. Kill one eye quick (2 frost shock + 1 magi spell
should kill it) then enstill pet, go to the other side and med and wait for
pet to autodie. The other eye will not join in the fight. Do the same for
the other eye.
After 2 eyes are dead go up in between the eyes to med to avoid those
irritating minotaurs. See one with axe and feel happy? Shoot them for easy
3pp to NPC (mino axe) Catch the eyes as they spawn before they summon pet.
Shoot them from your medding position in between the 2 eyes (their spawn
location is very obviously fixed)
Repeat process and get xp, loot about 5gp to 3pp, get gems, get runes words
pages, get polished bone hoop, get polished bone bracer (very good item).
onyx ring, quartz crystal.
Just beware of their charm. So keep cancel magic memorised. If you are
charmed dont cast any spells. Charm should be easy to resist though because
of our high magic resist.
