You want:
  • Level 20-30
  • Mobs that don't run
  • PBAE to kill on PL'd Cleric
  • Weak enough mobs that Druid can tank

Well. A large percentage of this games mobs run. Undead are some of the few that don't. For whatever reason, on this server mobs that con green to you will run at above 20% (meaning snared they even still can hobble away) and they don't fight to the last man (20 mobs will run instead of 19 dying and the final running). Which makes PLing very annoying in the style you describe

Zones with mobs that don't run:

Befallen - Undead mobs. (Tapers out around 12-15)
Unrest - Undead mobs. (Tapers out around 25-30)
Kurns - Undead mobs. (Tapers out around 15)
Kedge - imagine running mobs in kedge... /wrists. (Tapers out around 35-40)

Beyond that.... Stuff either hits too hard to tank, or runs

Druid PL drops off hugely after 35. After 35 I think duoing perma bear pits is best bet. Where you break pet and let the PL kill off the running bear and repeat.

Personally I do befallen to 10 (almost always open), unrest to 20 (rarely open.. If it is you likely have just basement or just 2nd floor.... If you can get both a good Druid can do 10-20 in an hour and change), and kedge to 35.

Kedge isn't for the novice though. Beyond the first room stuff starts hitting for up to 165 and has a ton of health. There is also the whole underwater aspect to deal with (find EB item or maintain spell). 20-30 you can usually get 1 level per clear if you clear the first and second rooms. But if you're doing that you have to sit and AFK a bit for respawns (this is why I charge per level and not hour, don't feel right charging for AFKs)

Also... At this time in EQ the PBAE them down method for Druids isn't that effective. You're better off getting the high red cons and pulling 4-5 at a time for your PLed toon to melee once each.
