Shaman 35+ soloing and farming?

Zeonick · #1 09-18-2013, 10:53 AM

So now that i've hit 35 I feel like I don't really remember what my options are for soloing. Also, I was wondering if anyone could tell us some good places to farm for the plats! Right now I'm in HHK killing guards (at least on the first floor where the pathing is good) and it's pretty good cash!

Does anyone know of some good nameds to camp that drop valuable loot? I've done some soloing in Sol A and it looks like there are various nameds in there that drop some pretty sweet loot. But I have no idea if I could break their spawns or not, i'll have to give it a try and report back!

I know of a couple other shamans around my level that would be curious to know where we can go from here! If you have some spare time let us know!

Thanks

I do not recommend yeti's in DL yet, was just there the other day on my 35 shaman and each single fight drained my mana/hp down. lots of resists even with malise/insidious fever which both got resisted numerous times each fight.

Yeah based on their levels I wouldnt do yetis or HGs yet, they're just too close to my own level. I just got 36 last night in HHK. I didnt notice level 35 too much because I just soloed the whole time and tried to make some money, so even if the exp was slow I still was gaining a few PPs farming!

I was wondering about the shrunken goblin earring. Does that goblin have place holders/what are their spawn timers? I did try to camp some spots in Sol A the other night but everything was camped for a long time. I have gone in there and seen it dead, but i'm also not sure if I can break the spawns for some of the mobs in there like kindle, lava ele, etc, as I just have not tried yet.

I did camp the foreman/pred area in sol A for a little while, but was just killing lots of place holders on 18 minute respawn timers.

Decent cash to be had soloing at the giant fort in FM. Exp shouldn't be too bad either. Shouldn't be that hard since the Burynai won't attack you as a Barbarian unless you've killed them before.

While this is true with regards to Burynai, they have close to 2/3 the HP of even the lower level Hillocks. If you're going for raw solo power with dots (50%+1 dmg) then excluding burynai can really slow you down in FM.

Besides mole people are ugly and they have disturbingly small hit-boxes so they're a pain in your melee friends asses.

At 35, you can do any of these camps:

SK Gnolls around Spires (lots of FS drops, Split Paw Gloves, Gnoll Whips, Split Paw Necklace, etc)
Splitpaw Gnolls -- before double-doors (Dungeon modifier - same loot as SK Gnolls)
West Karana Ogres (lots of good drops. Chief Goonda is only tough one there, but
he should be dark blue to you at 35. Just be careful with him.)

As it was said earlier, Ancient Crocodile in upper guk.

Up to 5 crocodiles at a time, single pulls, named drops wis legs sell for up to 1.5k, and int arms about 150pp.

Will take you to 39 where some go light blue.

Hard camp to get tho.

I want to try this when I can find the camp. Sometimes upper guk is empty, I just never feel up to traveling there at the time but it would be worth it if I could get those sweet legs [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Thanks Dokt!

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! A big shout of to Yumyums for a) looking exactly like me in-game, and b) coming and helping me out a TON getting the canni 2 spell!

I tried getting the goblin earring today with no luck, it was all camped to hell but it's the weekend so that is expected. I may try and head to guk at some point to see if I can camp that croc.
