Or what if I try to orchestrate by sitting in the zone where they rot, and having a friend on standby who has ally giant who can come loot for me and I pay him for the run or something? Any trick here I can use to obtain the Frostbringer?

Wow Jimjam I just looked up the frostbringer quest, the cloak of maelstrom is amazing too. Why would anyone let the heads rot? What lvl do I need to be to farm those myself since I don't really have any friends on P99 that I am close enough to that I'd feel comfortable asking that favor of lol.
People often kill the Western Wastes dragons for their necklaces, or even just faction.

It takes a lot of faction to do the hand in, and the heads are lore, resulting in many heads ending up rotting as there is no one present able to either loot or hand in the heads.

These dragons respawn quickly (for dragons) and are numerous. As they don't fear, they can be killed through attrition by small forces, so are often killed.

Wow great info JimJam! Sounds like I may be able to get creative and beg some higher lvls to orchestrate this haha. I'm thinking find someone who's ally to giants. Preferably a druid or wizzy who can port in quick. Then find a group hunting the dragons and ask them if I can have any rotting heads. Oooooo THIS IS EXCITING haha. Is there anything I can hunt in WW with a group ? What's minimum level of group and do groups want to hunt there or nothing there until good enough for dragons?

Sorry i totally forgot about the lvl 40 requirement on frostbringer proc.

Until then id go with cheap but very good aggro items like scorpikis claw impaler and maybe a kunzar ku'juch. Use these if you are in a group where you really need to be pulling aggro from high dps players, but would probably just be using your better dps weapons most of the time until you can use frostbringer. 2x lamenation or jade mace is solid imo. You could get a wurmslayer from 30-40 it is probably a better MH weapon than jace mace or lammy.

Main hand dps is a balance between speed (allowing you to take full advantage of dmg bonus on primary weapon) and good ratio. Wurmslayer is an interesting one b/c its very slow but has a very good ratio. As you get higher level and the dmg bonus becomes more important it will get worse.

To dragon heads. I farm dragons in large part for heads b/c their rewards are nice items worth 1-2.5k and I think most people farming them are in the same boat. I have seen groups doing pillar dragons let them rot occasionally b/c no one has giant faction. IMO getting a rotting head is a long shot and getting giant faction is annoying b/c chances are you will prefer to be on CoV/coldain factions at higher levels. soloing the dragons even at lvl 60 with perfect gear is impossible as a warrior. Mostly these are killed by 60 shamans or groups doing the pillar dragons for necklaces.

I'll be 40 in 1-2 weeks I think. I don't mind the lvl 40 requirement for proc. I'm getting like 2 lvls a day right now on average. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] GRINDMODE

Get a Staff of Battle for leveling up http://wiki.project1999.com/Staff_of_Battle

Then eventually you'll want to get some agro weapons around level 50. The standard setup, I would say, is to have an Infestation (buy loot rights) and a Frostbringer as your entry level agro weapons.
