View Full Version : Largest concentration of Iksar bandits?

Title. I'm going to work on Cabilis faction on my wizard soon, for fun and because I'm weird. Figure the best way would be to kill bandits over and over again, and then when the warriors and necros are covered, I can start feeding Mozo all of the bone chips to get the rest of the factions.

I don't know Kunark too well so I'm wondering where the best places to find Iksar bandits are. I first considered just tagging the entirety of the Field of Bone pit, but I don't want to annoy all the newb iksar levelers and there didn't seem to be a big enough bandit concentration anyway. I'm looking for alternatives there. Any suggestions?

Warslik's woods in the caves, and there is a ruin nearby outside the caves with 8 or so static spawns. That's probably your best bet.

So I just discovered this area in SoNH, in a cave and very close to the Trakanon's Teeth zoneline, where there are about 9 Iksar Exiles just standing around. I could be wrong but this seems like the highest concentration of them. Since they are higher level I'm reconsidering my tactic, and I might leave until I hit 49 and can Supernova them all.

So far the biggest camp of bandits is 9, anyone know of a place that beats that? :D

Was going to say the Swamp is a good spot

You can kill bandits non stop in FoB just requires lots of running around. If you are high enough lvl you could probably use a lvl 1 spell to pull/hold aggro for a noob group

There's also the bandit caves in the north end of FoB. I think there are more than 9 there in close-quarters. Although there's a level 35 rogue mob that pops periodically....

Iksar bandits in the WW tunnel to LOIO are where I did my cabilis factioning, and it worked well because I'd gather all the mobs in the area, pbae them down and then they'd repop as I finished medding.

They grant you both Warrior and Necromancer faction too - wish I had known that from the beginning because I had first done warriors via sarnak slaughtering in the fort in LOIO, and then turned in about 12,000 bone chips. After all that I was still kos to Necros so I had to do the bandit slaying, the whole time seeing "your faction could not possibly get any better" with the warriors. If I were to do it again, I'd do what you're planning - bandits then bone chips.

(it took me 3984 bandits to max btw)

I originally planned to do this but there weren't that many in the pit, and there are lots of lowbie iksar leveling there so I didn't want to annoy them by staffing all of the mobs in there and thunderclapping them down.

Ooh yeah I found that one as well. It's across from the Tangrin island. True story, I almost freaked out when I accidently thunderclapped one of the lesser spirits, thinking it'd ruin Truespirit faction (which is needed as a wizard).

Think I'm gonna stick to the Swamp cave though. It's surprisingly good money and I can nuke down 6 of them per mana bar.

The best chill way to raise Cab and also FV factions is to camp the Courier in LoIO and kill any goblin and bandit you see. There's a ton of them, you'll get your faction and some 4k rings to sell.

Oh yeah got rings. The right way for this camp is not to look for the ring or worry about the faction. Just chill and kill and think of everything as a bonus.

Yeah if you go looking for that ring specifically you will lose your mind just like sgt barnes would in leavenworth if he stabbed charlie sheen in that bunker.

On Blue I used this camp for my HalfElf Bard.
Killed these till i was not KOS to Trooper, then it was just a simple task of farming and turning in 10,000 bone chips :eek:

Good Luck.
