Are Gloves of Earthcrafting worth MQing once you hit 46?

[Loadsamoney]

I have about 15k put aside at the moment, the plan was to invest in both the Gloves of Earthcrafting MQ and a Luminescent Staff to save on mana and downtime going forward, combining it with Elder Spiritists Vambraces for the free DoT.

Plan to go get the Wardens Necklace at some point too, when I can easily do it solo and it won't be an all-day affair.

Yes they're amazing. Forget Lumi just charm kill. You'll use the gloves all the time on your pets.

If you say so, I'll just stick to Oakleaf Scimitar then. I plan to work on/MQ the Epic anyway once I hit 51 or so, once I've raised enough plat from porting.

May I ask why Lumi Staff is recommended against? I don't charm, swarm, fear kite etc, none of that. I play my Druid very straightforward, I root rot or I DoT and then trade blows with DS and Regen up, throwing the occasional nuke.

I single blasted Grobb bashers with a lumi. It was quite a bit quicker than rotting but all about 3.5-4k hps. Killing say Geonids it’s just really low dps (like an outdoor knock-off JBB) and every click is a chance to break for for a fairly low DD. You could make it work, sure. I did for a bit in HK on nobles and bards.

Charming scales with the pet. Chardok dogs are really fun near the ent and exit in your mid 50’s. Probably more so with the clicky DS. I’ve had Vindi’s head in my bank for months and just too lazy to get that done.

Ideally at the higher levels the battle plan will be to root rot the everloving life out of my victims with Winged Death, Breath of Ro and Drones clicky, adding the Epic clicky into it when I eventually get it. TBH I'm not even sure if all of that stacks, but I always keep a nuke ready too if I need to bring something down quickly, which is Calefaction at the moment. Starfire is 600 I think, which, for 49 isn't bad at all.

But I always keep Regen and Thorns up if root breaks and something gets at me, or in add situations, because every little bit of damage adds up when mobs start bearing 4 or 5k hp pools.

its amazing how people just refuse to improve on p99

What do you have against charming Loadsa? It is a super efficient way to level. Any chance you get to charm for leveling, you should do it!

I played an Enchanter once. I absolutely hated it specifically because of charming. If I'm going to use a pet it'll be my own, I.E a necro or a mage.

Though I really dislike Int casters in general, save maybe the Wizard. Not a fan of having to research my own spells.

[Andyman1022]

But what if the pet you are borrowing has 3x the power of your summoned pet? Also a druid has ways to fix a situation in which they can heal themselves. ENC have ways to fix the situation, but you need to be very quick at recharm or u are donezo.

[Toxigen]

druid charm is extremely forgiving...easier to learn the ropes than enchanter

I mean fine, if you guys insist I will give it a try when the time comes. But unless it's good for semi-afk play (camping 1-2 mobs, killing them, then afk while medding until they respawn), it's probably not for me outside of hard active XPing.

Just play however you want, most likely you'll still be sub 50 in a year, does it really matter how?

Yeah, good point. No fun in crawling to 60 with how bad the exp gets after 51.

[Tunabros]

gloves are easy as hell to get if you have a guild

plus vindi head rots all the time

no need to waste plat on a MQ

lumi staff isn't really worth it tbh unless you plan on quad kiting a lot

Right now I use Oakleaf Scimitar.

Hahaha. Real talk. 1 to 50 is like a completely different game than 51 to 60. Level past all the cool and interesting zones then get stuck is the same 2 or 3 zones trying to get from 51 to 60.

The leveling curve in classic EQ is pretty absurd.
