Advice on +mana gear for Druid quading

[LenkoCambria]

I think some people are forgetting your note that you're pretty green to the game. I don't know what your funds are like, but I'm guessing you can't buy a lot of the things people have listed. If you can, go for it. But let's talk basics.

Find your choice in mob - blue, non-caster mobs, same type. I think I was quadding around the giant fort in Frontier Mountains in this range. Try out a single mob! Snare him four times quickly (to keep your mana pool in line with four other mobs), then kill the single mob with your lightning spell. Check your mana pool throughout the fight. A good rule of thumb for most fights in EQ is this - if your mana pool is consistently lower than the mob's health, you'll need to conserve more mana, because you won't finish the fight. If you can easily take down a single mob, you're in a good range for quadding.

Things to remember:

- Always start quads with a fresh SoW and 100% mana bar.
- Blue-con, non-caster, same-type mobs.
- If you find that you're cutting it close with mana, hit your mobs with lightning, run, sit/med until they get close. You can skip every third "pull" for some mana boost.
- Don't forget to take resists and fizzles into consideration!

I quadded almost exclusively from 34-55. I never had great gear until 53+ and I never had a Lumi Staff. You'll be alright.
