SK undead fear kiting in BW

[jolanar]

It's the only place to fear kite undead outdoors past 55. I've tried hunting there before but found the sowed sarnaks zooming around to be too much to handle, but if those were non aggro it seems like it should work out to a pretty great place to fear kite undead.

Guess I'll have to try it myself and see how it goes.

I like fear kiting in Howling Stones North above level 55:

Can take you all the way to 60. It's not outdoors, but it's a nice spot. The place I am at in the very start of the video is a safe spot to camp at, so you can just leave your character in HS North.

I grinded 55-60 SK in BW and had most success at Giant Fort.

The front ramp has 2-spawns which can be split and fear-kited but is super sketchy due to random gorillas and undead pathing.

I would advise spending some time inside the fort; Verdants can be tank/drained and Ancients fear/kited. Using a lower level fear can give you more control of the fear/kite journey within the walls.

Can also check out those tiny huts inside the fort; sometimes feared giants bounce off the walls and never find the exit.

Lastly, I recall them running at 20%....so no need to fear past that point, just a clicky snare to root them.

Good luck!!

You can fear kite the 2 dock guards in BB till 60. no need for just undead. safe camp and you can sell to at rings. Far far better place to hunt. I wouldn't go into HS to fear kite. it's just asking for a messy CR. Just cause someone did it doesn't mean everyone needs to do it.

Wiki says the respawn timer on those is 24 minutes? If that's accurate I wouldn't call 2 kills in 24 minutes a good camp.

There are a bunch of other level 45 guards in BB. You'll likely have to split all the camps with FD (sometimes a lvl 45 comes with a lvl 40 guard social aggroing). Check the wiki for which ones are level 45 (I think most of the guard huts have at least one level 45 guard at them).

On an Enchanter one time I spent a decent amount of time here trying it out as a charm killing cycle and it was pretty solid. It's basically one big circle through BB, stopping to sell at the Druid rings. by the time I got back to the first kill spot it was coming up on the respawn time. There are better places in the game obviously (especially for charm killing) but it's a very safe XPing experience with the ability to farm some decent plat.
