This and the seahorse are pretty much the only tough parts besides the raids. Hang in there! It'll come eventually.

Thanks Cecily, and everyone else of course :)

I was looking at the other parts I needed (apart from the raids); Corrupted Seahorse (looks like a pain), Corrupted Brownie (looks like a pain as well but at least I can spawn the Corrupted without requiring a group, unlike the Seahorse), Corrupted Gorilla (shouldn't be too hard, though may need a pet to take the summoning) and Ulump Pujluk (just need to get 2 groups to take him down).

I absolutely hated this part of the druid epic.

-Seahorse is soloable (with some good luck)/duoable (with a cleric friend)
-Ulump is one groupable
-Gorilla in EJ was really easy for me, took about an hour

I tried to spawn brownie for like 3 hours the other day with no luck. I remember him being super common on live so maybe I just got unlucky?

As usual, your biggest hangups are going to be Fay pod and VS stone, which are both uber expensive to buy as MQs unless you're in a guild that regularly kills those mobs.

How were you able to solo the seahorse? Charming?

Took me about 2-3 hours.

Just got the tainted and corrupted. Took 9 hours, 5 spawns, with the last 4 being more or less back to back repops.

Yea Seahorse is charm able. Before level 60 it is very rough to solo. Pre-56 I wouldn't even bother attempting it.

Last time I tried soloing it I had back to back charm resists and had to cap out cause it wasn't worth burning a SoulFire on. But I have soloed it without any issues several times before.

Breaking those seahorse caves pre-56 is sort of rough as well. Doable, but rough. You just may have to accept letting some pets suicide and lose the exp on them.

The only 3 corrupted that summon are the 3 in Faydwer. Brownie is duoable with any melee ( I suggest killing the tainted then aggroing corrupted with ensnare, and kiting him around while you burn all his mana nuking you while you heal up. Once he is OOM, get your melee friend to own him. This once is soloable by a 60 Druid as well but requires decent gear. Seafury you can almost always find a necro or chanter to fear him while you DoT him down. Seahorse is mentioned above.

The 2 in Kunark and 3 in Antonica don't summon, and are all easy to root/rot or charm kill.

Ulump kind of blows because he is magic immune, relegating you to a crappy healer. Grab a tank, cleric and a melee DPS or two and it should be doable.

Thanks for the advice. XP isn't an issue now :)

Doing the Gorilla atm, PL'ing a SK while we kill Tottering Gorillas, no luck yet.
