If you make friends with the high level farmers, it can be pretty easy to get someone to bring you a wardog pet that can absolutely ravage everything at the start of the zone

the Bare Pits are as easy as they are boring.

It's not bad to get down there, Can try rooting the giants if they spot you before you get down. Bind down there once you're down.

It's trivially easy experience, and almost as good as Chardok CE group with constant pulls. The difference is how boring Bear Pits can be, and the fact that there's 0 loot to speak of. (Besides the shaman spear and bear pelts / meat)

Chardok CE is very fun as druid. There's lots of mobs, so a good group needs DPS, CC and heals. Turns out druid can do all 3 (DPS with a charmed dog)

If you want to get to 60 quickly, do Bear Pits. I've done them on 2 different toons and 55-60 took about a month of 2 hours per day / 5 days a week in Bear Pits.

But, get used to white walls and bear noises.

If you don't want to charm, you can quad kite all the way to 60 doing Othmir in Cobalt scar or the 4 remaining blue dwarves in butcherblock. I preferred the dwarves unless someone else was camping there as they're all still blue at 59 whereas the othmir are more 50/50 green and blue at 58 and 59. It's like a 20 minute respawn on the dwarves and you can just pop back in every 20 minutes for 4 blues with almost no risk. You'll want a lumi staff at either place and you need to harmony a camp to get all 4 blue guards solo.

quadding is for plebs

SG. Just water dance aggro.
