Level 24 Druid help

[cfish99]

Hello I just reinstalled p99. I have a 24 druid on green, not geared and I'm new to the game. Where is a good place to grind, and what is a good tactic to use?

The hermit in south karana is a good camp and the gnolls south east of the hermit should be yellow (or will be at 25).

Check out the druid guides for other ideas https://wiki.project1999.com/Players:Adventure

I highly recommend joining Dial a Port as a new player on the server with a Druid. You do not need to wait until you are 29 to join, ask a guild member in game for more info. Once in the guild the other members will be a great resource for helpful pointers.

Thank you for the response! I will do that.

Can’t beat the music near the hermit’s hut either.

Well, at that level and without much gear you could certainly consider doing the giant fort in warsliks in the hopes you can get some earrings to drop, they also drop a few other things that might prove useful to you until you replace them with something better. it's a semi-dangerous journey so be sure to keep camo up. The shaman in warsilks can be particularly problematic since they will have SoW up.

Use harmony to avoid adds if/when needed and then pick if you want to use root or snares and then if you want to use DoTs or nukes. There is a good chance that you are a halfling or wood elf so you can AFK the camp pretty safely using hide. Nuking is generally preferred if AFKing between kills.

if its too crowded and you can't/don't find a group you could try your hand at charm-killing the lower level mobs at The Overthere. might want to watch some videos/read some guides on charming for exp. it's actually fairly simple for a druid to do if you are outdoors SoW+ snares make the whole process much less complex than it might appear to be compared to enchanters. In OT you would probably want to pull both your potential charm target and the non charm target back towards the zone edge where you can safely fight without getting wandering adds. let them fight until one or both is low health. Break charm with invis or hide and then finish off the rest of the HPs on both of them. Finding a partner that can either charm or has a pet will make the whole process much easier/mana efficient.

What I did was fight my charmed pet against another mob of similar strength then invis-release when they were both at low life and fleeing. 1 nuke both of them and get 2 exp kills.

In everfrost peaks I would drag mamoths back to the guard, let him DPS it down, charm, drag pet off away from guard, break charm and kill. Not sure if this would work for calfs - you'd have to time charm very precisely.

Does guard stop attacking pet when you charm it?

From lvl 20 to 27 (28?) I like to go to Gargoyles/Spectres island (near sisters island) in OOT. XP is decent and platina is great. On average 3 out of 5 gargoyles drops eye that stacks and sells for almost 10 platina. Yes, you have to take a boat, but only first time. Bind yourself on nearby sisters island (where boat stops) at the vendor. Since it is good platina camp, someone may already be there. You want to be the only one. As Druid, go port somewhere else and gate back in later. I think I got around 2k platina while leveling from 20 to 27-28 on that island.

Oh, skeletons are placeholders for gargoyles. You need to kill skeletons in order to spawn gargoyles. Also gargoyles are social. If you pull two or three and you think you are in trouble, gate to the vendor on next island.

meh. gargs tend to be camped a lot on green but maybe now with kunark there will be less competition. it's also not a safe place to AFK with hide due to morons often pulling spectres around. you also need to keep levitation up 24-7 due the aforementioned morons. And if camped there is nothing else to do in OOT at that level range. low sisters too low, high sisters too high.

Alos don't care for the "use a guard/npc" to get a mob to low life and charm/nuke trick unless its a higher level enemy and the guard/npc is relatively close to the spawning location and the guard doesn't have a tendency to quickly obliterate the mob. that' a lot of "ands".
