Druid Leveling and Item Hunting Guide...

He was probably thinking of sister island in OoT, Mef is correct about Nybrights it's a derv faction hit. If your not an evil you can vendor in zone if not most can vendor @ SFM Druid rings ( confirmed for human SK and necro not sure about lizards)

On blue nybrights and sisters in oot are usually taken during peak hours but u never know

You can do Sister Island in the late 20ies/early 30ies, and repair the faction later on with the Muffin quest. In order to do the quest, Pandos needs to con green (so he will not attack even if he is scowling). Basically just:
- Open a trade window with him
- Hide!
- /consider him and if he is indifferent, you can hit trade.

It is tedious and boring, and I think I did about 300 trades (4 unstacked muffins at the time for 4 simultanious faction hits) before faction was warmly or so.

Note: Basically you will be KOS in Kelethin between the level you ruin faction and the level you can do this quest safely (late 40ies? Can't really remember, Pandos is lvl 28 I think), but at lvl 29 you get Ring of Misty which is a faster banking spot (and all the city-vendor spells are there) than Kelethin anyway, so I really did not miss going to Tree-city much in that period.

Come to think of it, I am not really sure why I bothered to fix the faction at all, but my point is that it is very possible [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Yeah sorry misread - saw sisters and assumed the ones on Sister Island in OOT.

[mefdinkins]

poor wording on my part - they are the nybright? sisters but they're also commonly referred to as the lesser fay bandits? either way great loot for a younger char!

I did Mammoths to 33 easily - still blue until then and you can't beat the plat.

Just make sure you bring a large sewing kit or two to hold the tusks.

Haven't those been nerfed to be the same weight as backpacks now? (OTOH, shaman medicine bags are still light...)

In order to make good money the first thing you need to do is get weight reduction bags. Saving up trash is your best bet to accrue cash, and until you have enough ports to hit druid rings and sell without wasting time you need bags. With your first money buy bags. Fill them with fine steel or other junk. This stuff adds up. As you level, buy better bags to hold bigger/more/heavier stuff.

Get a crude stein! Use it when you sell. An extra 2-3 gp on every item you sell will add up very fast.

[mefdinkins]

Weight reduction bags are a huge help. They are pretty expensive themselves though. Remember to utilize your ports/ability to bind everywhere. You should find a safe place to bind (cause you can get in a sticky situation if you die and are bound in a dangerzone) but you can sell at a lot of the druid rings.

The Mammoths are great too because there is a Barbarian vendor up there.

For low to mid 30s hags in unrest tower are awesome. Low hps and you root/dot them and duck around a corner and they can't blast you. With decent cold resist and harmony they are super easy and great xp. And I left there with backpacks full of lowbie twink loot. Decent pp.

IMO this isn't worth it as a druid. Root-dotting is never going to be better EXP than charming or quadding, and you can make more plat per hour porting or getting to a higher level and doing some legit money camps.
