Well I'll give away the best spot I know of so far. In Misty Thicket there is a wall that splits the zone in half. At the gate are 4 Assling guards with relatively low HP right there together. They drop decent coin as well as weapons/shields that sell for 10p or so a pop. This more than justifies buying SoW potions if you don't have Jboots yet, though you will need some kind of weight reduction baggage to keep it efficient. You take a faction hit, but it's just Asslings. Plus it's easy to repair from what I hear. Thanks to Pableau for setting me up there.

You can quad at the spires in SK...But those are probably heavily camped except for off-hours. Still worth the effort to try. Mammoths in EF near Perma are probably blue until 31/32ish IIRC...

Until about level 49ish, my ideas for leveling are really fuzzy, given how long ago it was that i leveled my wizard on live. Heat is only 30 atm, and I mainly use him for tradeskilling...Drolvargs outside of KC will be a lot of fun, Burning Woods, etc...

Lol, nice

I think its hilarious that some of the best hunting in the game is guards. You really could go from 24/25ish (the two FP guards in front of the inns in EC) straight to 50 on guards alone, and make a crapton of money doing it.

I had no idea /gems was even in the game on P99. My grouping experience just got significantly better.

As a wizard you've got stuns, snares, and roots to help crowd control in a group situation.

Don't be a lazy wizard.

Gems is more boring than medding. A second monitor with a yahoo game is much more exciting.

Wow, Bonds does have a learning curve. Full speed kiting actually has less thinking even though its more dangerous and time consuming.

I noticed that even though you snare a group of kited mobs (at the same time) Bonds doesn't fade at quite the same time, and busts up your 'quad'. I need to learn to count my Columns before I resnare.

Part of it is learning how to quad as quickly as possible. You shouldn't run *too far* while quadding - just far enough so you can recast your AoE as soon as its recovery time fades. All those "You are too far away" messages are seconds wasted...

I haven't had any trouble dropping groups of mammoths with just one bonds of force...maybe the SK gnolls take more time ;)

Ya, Bonds is variable, will be so much better when we get Atol's and its fixed duration. But the AE range will probably be too big to use...

I prefer to tab out and read the forums, but hey whatever works for you.

There was a brief time when I used an HDMI cable to my plasma TV and played like that. Then I put up another game (or even PEQ) on the laptop screen.
