45 Necro Hunting Spots [Archive]

Hey everyone.

So I know questions like this pop up frequently. My necro is 45 and I've sort of hit a wall with playing him. I know all the standard camps for the level - spectres, hill giants, oggok guards. I'm simply bored to death killing them or they're overcamped.

What are some interesting camps a necro could pull off at 45? I'm well geared (can clear all the Oggok guards before needing to med). Are there, say specific spots in LGuk I could lock down with charming or some other interesting difficult, but worthwhile dungeon crawls? Perhaps something off the rails and different?

I did most of my 30s in Kaesora and love the zone. The xp was amazing and it's fun so I'm looking for something similar perhaps. I'm not super familiar with LGuk, so if that's the option does anyone have pointers?

Droga is a great place high 30's all the way to 49, especially with a friend duo. At 50 check out the hole.

I didn't even think to check Droga. I solo'd spiders in Nurga for a bit. I'll have to look into it. I considered doing the Hole but I had a few people tell me to wait - I guess those dots at 49 make a hell of a difference.

Thanks though. I'll look into it.

Goblins in the lake in LOIO until 51.

You could probably clear the bedroom in Lower Guk if you're careful, but it'd be hard to break at 45, at least with some trial and error. The trick is (if its possible), having an undead mob charmed from further back, and trying to get just the 1st mob out of the water as a single.

49ish or more is a better level to move through there into other camps.

I've considered that - it is rather overcamped at times though.

As far as LGuk goes I'll look into it. Like I said before I'm not super familiar with the zone but I think it could be fun to try it. I like the premise of difficulty.

What about Velious? Is Tower of Frozen Shadow viable or perhaps some other dungeon?

Not sure how viable ToFS is for XPing, seemed fairly average at lower levels (35ish) in a group of 3...keys are a pain but part of any fun dungeon I suppose :p

You could do Paineel guards up near Guard Captain Latorl up to 48ish if you want somewhere quiet. Skellie form should allow you to sell at the vendors etc, and if you need a key, again just get skellie form on and say "keyz" to the 2 newbie area guards who'll hand you one. If they don't, charm one and try again (then zone out after you get it on your cursor).

True. I'm probably just gonna end up doing Droga like mentioned before on my next night off. Can't hurt to try.

Sure Paineel is probably super camped.

I could also crawl through ToFS some too. Might be do that first, at least I can summon my own corpse if I encounter shit.

Xalgoz in Kaesora might be an option?

Id be interested in taking my own (51) necro to the hole. Always been interested in the zone but don't have much experience with it. Are there any camps or areas specifically that a necro would be well suited for? (charming, kiting, root rot, etc)

The undead are down near the tower. That might be rough, especially at 51. Those are a tad resistant in my experience.

As for root-rotting, you could do the entrance if you can manage to split them with the limited space (DMF and levitate don't work). There are a few by the pond you could root or even fear kite if you were careful though... getting there works be the tricky part. Good luck if you try it. I advise bringing a group and then camping down there if you want to solo.

Secret Spectres in qyenos catacombs that acts as guards for evil Guilds there unless you care about qeynos nec/sk faction.
Undeads in DL.
Crystal Caverns (might be too low mobs maybe golems still work?).
Kedge keep entrance.

Never even considered Qeynos. That might be worth looking into. Also forgot about the skellies in DL. Thanks!

I had so much fun and the xp was almost too fast doing the library area in kaesora. I'm having a little trouble remembering what lvl that charm kill camp ended, it's was somewhere in he late 40s. I know I moved to TOFS and charm killed the 6th floor shadow beasts and spectre rooms. That was honestly too easy, it took me to 51, in which I moved to howling stones and started on the basement. It was brutal at that lvl so I usually tried to duo it with another necro or shaman

Since starting this thread I went from 20% of 45 to 60% (with two deaths).

I've tried Droga. Got one death and immediately said fuck that (I was drunk, that's on me). I did kill quite a bit there. I did gobs in Lake of Ill Omen for a bit (about 20% of the level actually). It was easy, extremely much so. Not a bad camp at all.

Been doing DL skellies recently with no problems. Also kited some in CS, as well as a couple other places.

All viable. Just burnt out. I'm sure once I get out of 45 I'll enjoy it again.

Gonna try ToFS if not this level then next just to do it.

Spirocs in TD

Spirocs in TD

Just took my Ench to Spirocs in TD and its pretty amazing. Nice change since I've never Exp'd in the zone before too. If you end up in TD and want to duo shoot me a PM OP, my 48 Ench is sitting next to birdtown.

I'd be down to duo. I'll probably make my way there this evening.

Goblins in LoIO is the #1 option and way better than any other from the moment you get DMF until 51 when they become light blue/green. If you can get one section of 4 mobs, its a pretty good clear rate for your mana regen.

I used this strategy: Pull mobs with a snare (a cheap one), then sic pet. Let pet tank it for 10 sec or so, then nuke with ignite bones, followed by a lifetap, and the goblin will be either dead or running. You kill a mob in like 30 sec, with pretty minimal mana spent, plenty of time to sit down and med.

Once you hit 49 and get Lich, you can clear the entire camp of 12 mobs with a bit of skill and sitting whenever you have the chance to get a little extra mana regen. I levelled from 49 to 51 in 4 hours after I got Lich.

Hey if you want I'll bring 54 necro with you to kaesora or tofs and get you rolling until you've got it down solo.

bloodgill goblins in LOIO is your best option. yeah, it can be busy, but that was spectres too, and goblins isn't anywhere near as bad as spectres are busy.

i did spirocs in td 44-51 on my enchanter and i still recommend LOIO bloodgill goblins for a necro. the xp is too fast and easy there.

Another idea for necro hunting in the 40s... Kithicor at night! Lots of undead in the proper level range for charm killing.

I have been doing LOIO gobs a bit. I didn't play much over the bonus xp weekend as they were overcamped and I decided to spend time doing other things than EQ.

I'm now 48. The gobs are real steady. Once I get a buffer I'm gonna switch it up.

I got to the third floor in TOFS finally as well.

I considered Kithicor at night but wasn't really sure what I'd be capable of. I might play around in there at some point for shits and giggles.
