I need recommendations on where to go to farm some druid gear

[IzHaN80]

So as title says, i did hit level 24 (almost 25 now) i started questing for the Tunare Necklace as someone suggested in a previous thread i made, meanwhile i was wondering if there would be any other spots i could farm some easy WIS items, to start increasing my mana pool. Heck, i don't even have a magical weapon yet [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

these are cheap to buy https://wiki.project1999.com/Gatorscale_Leggings as well as the WIS rings from jewelcrafters

Indeed, the Testament looks nice, i will try to do that one, about the Gatorscale Leggins, i can't afford that yet, this is my first toon on Green Server, so i can't buy much but my spells atm.

Number 7 on map - kill gargs for eyes at 9pp each, and exp until like 27 or 28. Kill skellies if gargs aren't up

I know that spot, it is amazing money, but i think with the druid it wouldn't be more easy for me than on Everfrost Peaks, charm kiting mammoths seems like the right way to do it, plus tusks drops very often which sells for 10pp

This quest is nearing solo-ability for you-

https://wiki.project1999.com/Paw_of_Opolla_Quest

Paw plus testament is the OG druid combo. Almost quested the Paw on my Shaman back in classic green myself.

Honestly pre-30 there's not a lot of awesome gear upgrades to camp. In classic green, my shammy was still running around in banded armor at this point, and I didn't really start camping solid upgrades until 35 or so.

These drop in Permafrost if you end up in a bold exp group that wants to deep-dive:

But I think you're best off doing mammoths or gargoyles at your level and buying some of the easier WIS upgrades. There are a LOT of super-cheap ones out there: Polished or Chipped Bone Bracers, Black Iron Medallion, enchanter-made rings and earrings, Hollowed Bone bracers, etc.

Thanks, after reviewing the Paw of Opollia quest, i think is too much trouble for the kind of item it is (is not bad) but i rather have a weapon i could use to melee in between fear/snare moments, it is more useful than people believes. I managed to pull off the testament tho, very nice and easy! Now i just dinged 27, i might seek some groups to Permafrost.

Honestly, when it comes to gear any time you spend on it is not going to be a "good investment". What I mean is that you'll put X hours to get the item, and then the item will only make you XP a tiny bit faster ... so you would have been better off just sticking to XPing, getting higher levels, and then getting even better gear with those higher levels.

That being said, most classes have a few items that break this rule (eg. the JBB or epic for a Shaman), an Druids are no exception. The Luminescent Staff, once you get to 45, will let you quad kite for really great XP, and more importantly there's the https://wiki.project1999.com/Goblin_Gazughi_Ring.

This ring will let you charm fight and break your charm when the mob is only at a few % of HP, which will dramatically increase your XP over time when charm fighting. It's the only item, before you hit 45, that I think is even worth your time.

A bunch of good things.

Loramin's advice here is pretty on-point. Consider time as a resource, because it literally is your most valuable one. Time spent leveling will increase your character's power far more than time spent camping something for an extra 3 WIS. This is why I didn't stop to pick up any real gear upgrades on shammy until 35, and even then doing so was pretty inefficient.

Example: I spent 2 days off and on camping a https://wiki.project1999.com/Mammoth_Hide_Cloak in Permafrost. Huge improvement vs my Banded Cloak, sure. However, in that time I could have gotten another level or two, and level-37-Lobnor is stronger than level-35-Lobnor-with-Cloak.

Goblin Ring, Lumi Staff, and similar items for other classes are worth the diversion because of the time they save you by allowing you to level exponentially faster than without.

If you're getting plat while leveling at Gargs/Mammoth, then think of that going to gear as you getting "bonus items" during your exp sessions. This is why I rarely camp an item if I can afford to just buy it at 60. Spending a day or two to camp an FBSS for a twink takes more time than it would take me to raise the plat to buy one.

Remember- TIME is your most valuable resource in this game. ALWAYS.

This is the min/max approach.

Sometimes it just feels better to get less-than-optimal XP and get an item upgrade at the same time....especially if you then consider the time you may need to tunnelquest. Some of us simply hate that aspect.

Personally, I love making money while leveling. Sure, you can acquire more plat / hour at 60....but I tend to burn out on chars after that 60 ding.
