Sham leveling path 48+ (solo n duo)

[pijan]

Howdy there. I just hit 48 on my shaman in CoM and I'm looking for some new leveling options. It will all be either solo or duo with a monk. I currently have a Jbb and should have epic in the next few levels (once I grind the faction). Any suggestions for good spots that might be a bit off the beaten path, or that cater to shaman soloing/duo?

Check out the Per-Level Hunting Guide (link in my signature). It has tons of ideas of places, including plenty that are "off the beaten path", both for Shaman and all other soloing classes. The vast majority of them will also work as duo places.

I did look at this. Haven't tried any of these camps really any personal favorites?

Around your level I did ...


a lot of troll guards in Grobb (good XP and each drops a little over 10 plat in items ... also trolls are evil and need killing)
some giants in Wakening Lands for faction
Shardwurms in Great Divide (I was working on my Shawl quest)
Seafury Cyclops (although when I did them they dropped a lot more gems than they do now)
City of Mist (classic Shaman spot, and you can work on epic, but it sounds like you're tired of it)


If you're evil, Felwithe, Freeport and Rivervale guards are always popular. Once I hit 51 I spent a ton of time at the Burning Woods giant fort.

Hope that helps.

I attempting Troll guards last night- was able to down ~8 an hour with decent exp (47 shaman, untwinked). However, my main problem is I didn't have anywhere to sell my loot. Do I need more weight reduction bags to do Grobb efficiently?

[Nashlyenin]

Either get a low lvl in the area to sell for you and you give him a % of profits, or you can just start an alt and ground transfer and sell with him. Then have someone do a transfer for you or just buy some gems like peridots and ground transfer it back.

Once you get epic you can easily do dwarf guards just inside Kaladim. Do not do outside guards in BB as they have higher MR and break root all the time. I did those guards from 51-55. 14pp average per kill

I didn't have weight reduction bags, just a bunch of 10-slot backpacks, and I just ran to Oasis to sell whenever I filled up (although in retrospect Rathe merchants might have been closer?).

Because I was lazy and didn't want to run too often I'd destroy some of the low plat items to make room for swords. Then ... it's been so long, but I think at first I used Scale of Wolf to get to Oasis while weighed down, and then later I bound near the vendor so I could just gate, sell, and then run back to Grobb unencumbered.

There is a temple of sol to faction merchant in the NW corner of South ro. Sells food, drink, bandages. That sort of thing.

[Snaggles]

If you are an ogre or troll you can kill troll guards and sell and bank there. Just sayin ;)

Can you just have your monk bud loot and sneak/sell at Ootok?

I was a cazic sham so i had undead clickie neck to solo spectral keepers in tt.pretty good until 53 i think.

Ahh that makes sense- thanks for the tip! Do you think Troll guards are better money than Hill Giants in Rathe? They seem to drop a ton and there is a vendor in zone.

What level are nobles and bards in high keep viable?

49-54, best xp in the game

For one thing, the hill giants used to have more competition; don't know if this is still true.

But really you'd have to just crunch the numbers. I haven't done either camp in awhile, but you'd just need to see how much plat you can make at either camp, and in how long, with travel time to vendor factored in.

If you do crunch the numbers I'd be curious as to what you find (as I could add them to the Treasure Hunting Guide on the wiki).

Hit 55 and ready to move. Is BW the next spot to be?

BW is never the spot to be.

I hate that zone with the power of a thousand suns.

Giant fort seems OK. If no BW what you recommend?

Don't listen to Scared Child, the giant fort is awesome.

Although, to be fair, at 55 you do have a lot of options. You might even be able to start doing HS basement (my favorite place to level to 60), but I think you need a couple more levels first.

[pijan]

Had someone tell me POM rat maze. Not sure what that is.

Plane of Mischief (http://wiki.project1999.com/Plane_of_Mischief)

I've always heard it was a great place for Druid charm fighting, but it might be good for Shaman too (never been there personally so I wouldn't know).

How long can I stay on com 2nd?
