Can druids solo Myconid Spore King at 60?

[Sonolin]

I don't see summon on its list of effects on p99 wiki. I know it has a lot of nasty stuff just wondering if its possible to solo to get a fungi with my 60 druid.

If not, anything else in Seb worth soloing? Maybe I can farm something else and look for a group or something

[loramin]

No. In general at 60 Druids are bad for farming loot: Enchanters, Shaman, and I think even Necros are better.

Also, Seb king specifically has mobs before and around him that make it so a solo Druid can't even get to him and keep him clear.

I'd instead recommend trying to check if he's free, and if so start a PUG. Fungis are popular, so it should be an easier sell than most other camps You can pick everyone up, and while the first five slots have key classes, the 6th is really a wildcard. As group leader/founder, you get to be in that slot.

If you really want to solo, I'd pay for a trip to Mischief, bind there (you can gate out), then try to get the A4 camp. It has a rat you can charm that will let you do the (hard) camp ... although the camp will still be harder for you than (say) a Shaman.

Under normal circumstances, no. It might be possible if you had a lot of game knowledge, consumables like wort pots, puppet strings, etc., and other toons parked nearby to assist.

But it would probably cost you more money to do that than the cost of a Fungi.

Typical fungi groups probably wouldn't invite a druid, as they won't bring much to the table.

Best way to make money on a Druid is probably power leveling low level alts.

As Loramin said, you could do PoM for cards, but those are rare. You could also maybe farm Ice Burrower Silk. If you have a character with max tailoring, Ice Silk pieces can sell for a good price. But it takes a lot of time and money to become a master tailor. Unfortunately these two farming methods require a lot of time and patience.

Do people still buy cleric epics? I knew a guy who made a killing with his druid porting around selling cleric epics.

Yeah helping people with Epics could be lucrative. Good idea. There will probably always be cleric guild bots in need of Epics.

Shaman Epic can use Druids as well to farm True Spirit faction.

No. druids can do some cool stuff if animals around like solo fear break in but mostly people use Druid’s to get the epic snare in then swap to their enc or better char

Absolutely not.

Only monks and enchanters can solo the fungi king.

The bugs in front of disco 1 maybe. But there's a golem there also and I think it has a chance of spawning level 51 and summoning. But druid can't get anywhere in Seb without first clearing the mobs or being pacified down from an enchanter / brave cleric.

Instead of Seb, you could try doing the Hunter / Forager cycle in Trak's Teeth. That's something much more up a Druid's alley. Outdoor zone, so harmony, wolf form, Mask of the hunter, etc..

Forager has 2 good mobs on its cycle:
Harbringer Dronik: Iksar Hide Mask ~7kp on Green
Crusader Zoglic : Ceremonial Iksar Chestplate ~7kp on Green

Forager respawn is near instant. So you just run around the south portion of the zone tracking until you see one of the mobs on the forager cycle list. Kill, rinse, repeat.

Druids really dominate this cycle, because the mobs on the cycle are melee, can be root rotted.

[Snaggles]

Without charming the extent of what I’ve seen for druids is a cliff golem. Mechanics aside actually killing the Fungi king, the solo pull isn’t possible outside a few classes. I expect a geared SK might have a chance at the actual kill as well.

[kjs86z2]

alright DSM, time to solo fungi king

[loramin]

I feel like the replies here are neglecting the PUG option.

On average a king group lasts what, 3 hours maybe, and gets one fungi in that time. Rough numbers, but if you figure you'll win that fungi 1 in 6 times, you're talking maybe 18 hours. I'll round up to 20.

I don't think 20 hours of forager cycle, or of A4 (as a druid, who can't clear the whole camp), or of farming epics or ice burrower silk ... I mean I haven't done all those myself, but ... I don't think any will get you 38k (ie. Fungi $$$) in anywhere close to that time.

If you want a fungi, I vote PUG.

P.S. Of course, if the camp is taken, it's not an option, so depending on playtimes and such YMMV.

[kjs86z2]

nobody 6 mans fungi lmao its a duo camp at this point

and nobody is grouping with a druid at king

best thing you can do as a druid is port while raid targets are in window, show up, lick a wall, earn dkp, sell a Z heart / manna robe / etc

you could also sell powerleveling i guess

I know it can (unclassicly) be duoed ... and if duos are holding the camp, PUGs aren't an option.

But if the camp is free, I don't think it's impossible to find five other people (of the right roles) ... or less (even with a Druid you probably don't need 6) ... who want a fungi.

Unless the server really is dead, Fungi is one of the most popular items on it. Many will jump at the chance.

[DeathsSilkyMist]

I feel like the replies here are neglecting the PUG option.

I haven't done Fungi King in the last two or three years, so it's possible things have changed.

But generally speaking, Fungi King was done by 2-4 players. Usually something like Enchanter + Monk + Torpor Shaman. The 4th player could be a Cleric if they don't have a Cleric bot for CHing the charmed pet, and reses.

Druids usually don't get invited to an existing PUG of strangers for Fungi King. This is because less people at the camp means a better chance of getting a Fungi Tunic, or less people to split the money with on a Fungi Tunic being sold. The group would need to be really chill to just let anyone in to win a Fungi Tunic, especially if they are an unecessary class like Druid.

I don't see how a druid could start a PUG at Fungi King realistically, as the druid would do nothing other than the initial ports. If you want to start a PUG at Fungi King, you usually need to be a level 60 Enchanter/Monk/Shaman/SK/Cleric.

The two ways I could see a druid getting into a Fungi King group is a group of friends or a guild group.

[Sonolin]

Are there any camps that druids are welcome in at 60, or is it mostly just solo/raids?

I'm working on an enchanter alt so that will probably (eventually) be my big farmer.

There are some camps that could use a druid for sure. Not sure how often PUG groups are formed in these spots in 2026, but here are some ideas:

1. Platehouse/arena/4way groups in Kael could be a good druid spot, since druids can charm wolves.
2. Chardok, since druids can charm the dogs.
3. 6+ Dragons in West Wastes. Charming may not be ideal since the dragons dispel, but harmonying Sont and incomimg adds and spot heals are nice.
4. Helping people with Epics. Cleric Epic and Shaman Epic True Spirit farming come to mind.

Many and few. You have to understand, different players are different.

Min/max types see 60 Druids as a source of POTG ... and not much else. Some might recognize the strength of animal charm, but I think most would see Druids as worse than Enchanters at charming, worse than Clerics at healing, worse than melee at DPS ... basically just worse overall.

But the server is not made up of just min maxxers! It may seem like it from the forum, but I suspect less than half the player base reads the forum, and only a minority post.

Again, for min max solo action, PoM or TT cycles are your best bet. For groups, min max makes it hard unless you have friends/guildies who overcome that bias.

But if you ask random people "I'm putting together a fungi group, I checked and the camp is open, want to join" ... well like any PUG, you'll get no a lot. But, I suspect (and again playtime will impact this) a lot of players will be more excited about the chance to get a fungi than they will be hung up on your class.

This is why cobalt bracer is worth over 100k now, might as well buy an AoN. Probably decent exp for a full group too.

Real talk though; don't know for shamans but fungi king solo for ench/monks is for people at the extreme end of the gear/skill spectrum and usually a one off to check that box.

I just don't want to give OP false hope. I've been invited to Fungi PUGs quite a few times on my Shaman. The player asking is always a Monk/SK/Enchanter who likes doing Fungi PUGs, and has Fungi camp experience already.

Chances are the people who would do a Fungi PUG are doing their own group forming and checking if Fungi is open.

But sure, there is no harm in trying. I would be happy to he proven wrong.

If OP was experienced at Fungi King, and could teach players how to do Fungi King (like teaching Monks how to do the pull), then I could see a stronger case for OP being included in the group as the group leader. The other players get something from OP besides PoTG.

There's not many cash camps where a druid is an especially great addition to a group, but I think some people are overstating how hard it is to get an invite. I think Loramin's right that a lot of people aren't especially hardcore about min-maxing, and especially being able to go pick people up and even help get a seb key, it seems totally worth trying if you want to go do some seb camps. Guild groups are gonna make it a lot easier, of course.

And even though they aren't overpowered and aren't part of the min/max meta, they still bring plenty to the table. I was in a 6-man fungi group last year and someone was talking about how much smoother potg plus clicky regrowth made everything. Being able to seamlessly switch between nuking and spot-healing is nice, snare for runners and ensnare for chanter pets is nice, and if there's no shaman then Girdle of Karana is useful too.

If your goal is just to farm plat, though, solo stuff is probably gonna be the best bang for your buck. There's been a couple suggestions already, but if you pose the question in the #druid channel on the guild discord, I've got another dozen ideas you could try. Druid is never going to be a top-tier plat farmer but I've been pretty happy with what I've been able to earn.

[BradZax]

At no point have I ever been concerned with the min maxing of my group in everquest and I have looted every item in the game.

What are you trying to min max after 25 years of farming? Just give up on trying to be efficient already, it's over.

[Sonolin]

Thanks guys. I found out pretty quick that some people just don't want druids in groups so I get it, no hard feelings about that... good to hear there's some options though since I find grouping pretty fun. It's nice to be able to do so much in a group and I do feel very useful, even if some feel like its not the best min/max option. I never rolled a druid because it was the "best" class in terms of power-level.

Maybe duo/trioing something would be a better focus for when I don't feel like soloing.

For Fungi King camp specifically, group composition is often about maximizing chances at getting a Fungi Tunic by minimizing player count. Small distinction, but it isn't about min/maxing the encounter itself in terms of the best kill speed, safety, etc. That is what I am trying to say.

I've been in 6 player Fungi King groups before, so I am not saying they never happen. It's just that people who want a Fungi Tunic often do not want to stay at the camp for 10+ hours. Getting 2 or 3 Fungi Tunics over a few hours (especially on a loot bonus weekend) is a lot more probable than 6 Fungi Tunics.

[BradZax]

I just feel like working that out would be so much less fun than just trying to roll the dice on a friday night with some randos.

I've had fun at 6 player Fungi King groups. I don't disagree with the sentiment.

One of the issues with Fungi King camp is you need a puller that knows how to do the pull if you want consistent kills of King/PH.

Often times a Fungi King group forms around the puller, so it is often the pullers perference as to how the group works. Getting a group of 6 players together who don't know how Fungi King camp works can be rough. You'll get deaths and no chances at a Tunic. So those kind of groups are easier to fall apart.

[BradZax]

Is king still really so hard you cant just camp him at his spot? It's been a while since I done p99.

[DeathsSilkyMist]

King himself isn't that hard. That's why you can duo the camp. While he is somewhat magic resistant, he can be slowed.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Myconid_Adept is one of the mobs that can be problematic. They CH and gate. Since push to interrupt was patched out, you need to be more strategic about killing them. That's one reason why you usually want an Enchanter, so you can mana seive them if you need to kill them.

I am not saying the camp is impossible with a 6 man group without a good puller. But 6 randos are often harder to coordinate with, and Fungi King isn't a simple "kill all warrior mobs" camp.

They do, just camps where you can charm or where epic snare is a huge boon. Otherwise the other player(s) are doing most of the heavy lifting.

If it’s two buddies optimization isn’t always the goal. I’ve spent a lot of time in lower dogs with a cleric, shaman, and druid while my friend playing an ench went on a murder spree. The Druid is less capable but if the alternative was solo, they all help. Especially if the hang and chat is the main point.

Find an ench, top off hps quickly on breaks, go wherever you want. Find a zone you can charm in and the possibilities are endless.

[PatChapp]

Druids make a fine 3rd at fungi camp. I have done enc/monk/druid and held it no problem.
Epic snare is nice,and just enough healing to keep up.

Well, the question from OP was about what can a druid solo at 60.. If they asked what groups could a druid form at 60 the answers would likely be different.

For baller groups you actually camp beyond king at the archway and get juggs + king.

Last time I did King it was a full guild group and we camped on top of the king / ph spawn point. Good times. But we had a 6.5k HP warrior, 2 near BiS rogues, etc.

This never happens anymore. King is trio max these days.

Yep, and it's camped by people with BiS gear (or near BiS) who have nothing to gain from selling Fungis except for increasing their 7-figure plat-bank by another 35k.

Just folks that won't move on from P99, despite Green now being almost 5 years since the last new content.

On a locked server it’s really the only flex left after you’ve already neckbearded for 5 years to get bis gear on your monk.

In that time a Druid could have just sold enough services to buy 100 fungis. Great class still, fungi solo should not be a measurement of how good they are.

I just meant the Enchanters. Anyone who played in classic knows they've been unclassicly powerful here for over a decade.

The upcoming channeling fix, if it ever lands, might start to address it though (/em crosses fingers).
