52 wizard quadding lameness
 

Where in the hell do I spend the next 4 levels until I can get into chardok AE groups?

Spectres and bloodgill goblins? They're mostly light blue; half of my pulls of those mobs and I don't even see my xp bar move when the 4 mobs die.

Spirocs in TD? At least 2/3 of the spawns pop out lightfoots, which are always light blue. Half of the watchers that pop are light blue. Plus the place is usually camped by at least 1 wiz/dru/PLing necro/whatever.

Raptors in TD? They're all dark blue at least. But they also have twice the HP of a spiroc proven while giving only marginally more xp per kill. The place is moderately camped to boot.

DL and BW have dark blues, but finding 4 of them who don't have as many hp as raptors takes 5+ minutes per pull.


Do I just have to buckle down and deal with using 2200+ mana to kill a quad of raptors for 2% xp and then only being able to do MAYBE 4 quads per hour all the way to 56? :(

you can do seafuries to 54-55, then finish off at TD.

Looks like SFs are lower level than raptors but with just as many hp, plus they're probably more heavily camped.

I guess I'll just see how far I can make it at 2 blues per hour before I sell this char to someone who wants a vox/naggy alt and go back to farming south on Tecmos :p

2 blues an hour seems reasonable for these hell levels. If it stops seeming reasonable, remember you're only actually leveling for about 12 minutes of every hour, then it seems great!

That's what I do anyway, hit 52 last night. :(

I guess when I was playing a rogue from 50-60 it was only in the best groups that I would get 2 (or slightly more) blues per hour. So I guess this is about right. I just got used to being an OP enchanter and getting that kind of xp even in 54 and 59.

BW seems to be treating me better now also. There were a couple bards here earlier so it was tougher to pick up the right mobs to quad than it needed to be.

Join a guild that does AE groups and will let you in the EXP group even if you don't have as powerful an AE nuke yet :)

Something tells me Divinity wouldn't approve of me putting my wizard in just to do AE xp to 60 and then drop back to A-Team :)

I basically did spirocs in TD until 53, then raptors until 56 followed by a mix of more raptors/AE groups until 60.

Hit me up if you want me to show you the most mindless spot to quad them.

No, but we'd be happy to permanently absorb your guild wholesale ;)

Lol :)
