57 necro new spot

[chevy79bu]

What spots are decent charm spots for a lvl 57 necro other than HS and KC basement. I do real well in both of these spots but just wondering where to go outside of this. Also what are other good root rotting and fear kiting spots as well. I do prefer charm killing undead as it seems most efficient and just more active and fun.

[commongood]

I doubt you'll find a better spot to charm solo as a necro than HS. But if it's more a question of naming places where charming undeads for exp at level 57 is possible I suppose you'd still be able to squeeze a bit of exp out of CoM upper floors.

Tower of Frozen Shadow enters my mind but I'm guessing level 57 is too high? Maybe someone with expertise of that zone can chime in.

In terms of root rotting I'd be tempted to explore Chardok. I never got to do that as I decided to faction to be able to pull for chardok aoe in the bad old days.

I wouldn't like to solo in Sebilis as there are too many caster mobs for my taste. You could go for the "not so good exp but chance at PP" and go solo 4-way in Kael for thurg armor (chest pieces and legs still sell for around 20k) or go to Skyshrine and kill Fe'dhars for a lottery ticket on Wurm Lord or Shawl but more likely just some random 2-5k items. Can flop to avoid faction hit and just fear kite.

NOPE would be messy and only the vamps on the 6th and 7th would give worth while xp.

and the 7th floor bats are a 1 hour re spawn odd timer but yes 60 min. but that robe is super sexy.

Dragon Necropolis phase spiders can be rotted.

Velks, you can do the Frenzy or CE camps. There are charmable undead down through lower dogs, but getting there is a flop fest, and it would be far from efficient once you did.

If you want a laid back, kill 2 mobs and then afk for chores, there's 2 brownies outside the brownie fort in Lfay that are level 50ish druids. It's not great xp or money, but it's something to do.

Parts of the crypt in seb are soloable. I'd just avoid the golems and kill between the emp and the tomb. But that's a hot camp, so it's something that you'd probably have the most luck with in the mornings.

Skyfire and Burning Woods giant fort offers some blue con stuff for root rotting. Pathers make it a bit less than desirable, but it's an option.

Geo's in WL, offer a bit of plat in gems but they're a bit tanky, so the xp is meh.

Chardok is a bit a of a stretch for xping. Lots of casters, so you'll be stuck to places you can line of sight. Roots break fairly often without tash, and mobs arent pushovers.

Plane of Mischief, rat maze offers some decent xp for root rotting and it's fairly easy and safe.

It's fun to get out and explore some other places as that HS grind does get a little tedious since most necro's start there in the low 50's and stay all the way to 60. I spent a lot of time goofing around in all of these zones while pushing through the 50's.

From 57-60 the XP sucks everywhere. Make a small group and go crawl the Hole or do Chardok

[chevy79bu]

I appreciate the replys. I will hunt around some. I only have another 20% to go till lvl 58 but just getting burnt out in HS at the moment. I think I came to HS around lvl 52ish and have basically been there ever since. Have made a few alts and gotten them to their 50's as well during this time but the necro is still my passion. Even with all the experiance I have gained and time spent in HS it is still an exciting place. I just want the occasional change of pace.

[Legidias]

Hole in the deep end near pally / sk epic parts.

[beargryllz]

CoM 3rd floor is hot garbage compared to HS. KC basement is ok but not great.

Hole sucks, all the undead have crazy resists

Do HS. It's necromancer heaven

Grab one of the million monks and duo the arena ogres in neriakA. Great exp and super lazy. Let the monk chain pull, keep shadowbond rolling, and summon a rogue pet then put on a movie.

If you want something different, you can fear-kite Fe'Dhars in Skyshrine for a chance at some ridiculously-rare-but-if-you-actually-manage-to-get-it-very-nice drops. Once you get them split the exp is ok- not as good as charming for sure, but also relatively safe and easy (especially if you're factioned).

If you do it, remember to FD right before they die and let your pet get the kill. You'll still get the exp but you avoid the faction hit.

Seconding this. I did all of 59 at ogres, duoing with a rogue and fear kiting, it was faster and much safer than HS, got about 4% an hour through the entire level.

Any faction loss involved in killing these ogres?

Hmm, so the 5%/h of level 58 (ikky nec) i was getting at the ry'gorr fort in EW wasn't all that bad :p

[isoka]

Except that 59 is super hell level compared to 58

[Malk]

Yeah sadly elite guards start to green out at 58, otherwise it would probably give 6%/h which is roughly the equivalent of 4% of 59.

I wish i had known that spot earlier, if you can beat the crazy respawn of the guards at 53-54 (which i think is possible with PoTG, with no outside buff you need the extra efficiency of Cessation to be able to keep up when the oracle repops) it would make the double hell of 54 quite a breeze.

Unless I misunderstand hell levels, 59 should take about double the exp that the level would if it were not a hell level. Level 59 should also normally take more exp than 58, plus the same level mobs would give less exp because they were now lower level compared to you.

Even ignoring all that, just given the double exp nature of the level, it seems like 4% an hour in 59 would be equivalent to at least 8% an hour at 58, if not actually closer to 9 or 10% if grinding the same mobs when all other factors are considered.

I know that I went from getting 6-7% an hour in HS up to 58 to getting 2-3% if I was lucky, so ogres were a lifesaver because I was facing serious HS burnout on top of the major slog the exping there had turned into.

[kjs86z]

Could have swore I've seen a necro or two up in the spiders in Velks.

Its just hard to suggest anything but HS. You could always go to Sebilis and hope for a group.

[Zabbix]

Neriak ogres are god tier. Was getting 8-9% an hour at 59 while duoing with a monk.

kred!!!

people having been hyping up this camp and now its pretty much always occupied :(

[dcrag]

Seb is pretty good for charmin, get a rogue to let you into crypt and bring some -mr pet gear.

Better drops once you get the hang of it.

[area]

Is there any reason a 55-60 DE Necro would want to hold onto "The Dead" faction? Or would it be OK to blow it away by killing Ogres?

[Duckwalk]

The only thing I am aware of that requires The Dead faction is the Reaper of the Dead quest. That said if you want one of these you can usually buy them for ~600 plat in EC.

But I would double check that your epic doesn't require interacting with the Neriak Necro Guild at some point just to be safe.
