New Druid Advice from the experts

[DeathsSilkyMist]

Indeed. OP gets to decide. I am not forcing them to do anything. I am giving the reality check that the Goblin Ring is rare (you probably won't get one) and plat farming is more consistent. What OP decides to do with that info is up to them. Charming at low levels isn't great anyway. You fizzle more, get resisted more, and run out of mana more.

Ok, so what's your suggested leveling path for this druid? Remember,

I will be doing as much charm killing as I can, not super interested in quadding or root rott/nuke playstyle as I have a wizard for that already.

Lvling at the camp with an item OP arguably wants while ring being rare it is not non existent.
I have lvled there (as a lvl appropriate druid on live) and got a ring on 1st try. Couple hours tops, was gonna play *somewhere* anyways.
Its like a poker machine, wins are indeed rare but someone eventually does win.

Gaining XP and a lil plat with a *non zero chance* of a valuable AND useful item is a win in my opinion.

OP decides if that is their wish/playstyle taking all the input from here into account.

FWIW, id do it. But I love looting my gear. Gives me a gooey feeling.

OP - you do you, brother. DSM is a robot.

I also charmed from the moment I could. Being a little trickier at low level just makes you a better player.

Tiger hides, cat skins, fangs, targ shields, balanced weapons, bone chips, goblin skin all have some value to them too. Mm rings and goblin bracers probably destroy tier, but can be useful too. May end up with occasional other sarnak loot as well. It’s deffo not a zero loot spot, even with no ring drop. Merchant is right there too. Maybe not as good as gargs which i suppose is a competing spot at 19ish.

Fuck yeah, love camping my stuff. I've looted most of my own gear except the stuff that was without a doubt not worth camping. Also made most of it when it was level appropriate so even if it took a while it didn't matter. I was super happy when my ring dropped after ~8,5h. It is a shit camp for sure but worth it.

Honestly, I don't understand why anyone who knows DSM (from previous threads) even bothers to respond to him. He loves the smell of his own farts so much that no matter what you try to get him to smell, all he will do is fart all over it. You can't have a normal human conversation with someone like that.

It's not even like talking to a robot, because robots have no ego, and DSM is all about his ego. It's clearly what drives him (in every thread, not just this one) to post as if an army of imaginary people were cheering him on ... no matter how many sane/rational humans disagree with him.

Yikes. Lying about other posters because you were proven wrong is a bad look. I am sorry your wiki page on drop rates is wrong. A lot of wiki pages are wrong. I am sorry a strawman version of myself lives rent free in your head. No wonder you can't read anything I post correctly.

Focus on getting the correct information to posters. This isn't RnF. Nobody cares about your delusional opinion of me.

[loramin]

Notice I didn't say a single word about your positions or what you advocate for: all I said is that you're a human who can't communicate with other humans like a normal human ... and there is more evidence for that in this forum than I can ever hope to quote here.

I always click into this thread thinking there may be something worth reading then remembering that loramin and DSM completely hijacked it into their own personal spat channel and its a waste of time for the rest of the forum.
