Sitting and camping a bunch of stuff green to you is why most people burn out....no sense of adventure, no danger...just mind numbing grinding as you go afk to do other stuff. But setting out as lower level trying to do some quest? It is exciting!! Thrilling!! I remember my first character on the server...a young gnome cleric with dreams to be a great gnome paladin....set out at level 4 (before the level minimums before zones) to get a weapon worthy of a great warrior. Ended up trying to get the cleric quest hammer from Sol Ro quest which sent me into Mistmoore. Then I had to get down into the pit and get the item and get back out again (I wasn't even sure if it was the right spot! or what would happen! I remember opening the doors to the jail and having a heart attack when there were monsters standing there and I thought they might be able to see me!). And then even just trying to get 100pp to get the bar for the quest! and all the other challenges! Everything becomes a great adventure, even the smallest stuff. None of that is possible if you just over-level sitting in EXP groups and THEN go back and try to pick up stuff. | |||

Just exp at cash camps like sol a (25ish), hill giants (40ish) and you can make the PP quick.

ring is not a must nor is it a game changer
i leveled to 60 without one and i use charm pet/break pet all the time, even today when 6k is nothing to me i am still not buying one if you insist on getting one, u'd better off spend the time leveling or farming other camps. the time spent to camp ring does not justify its usefulness nor its value of 6k | ||

I've gotten a total of 3 rings so far. First 2 rings were back to back within 2-3 hours of camping. Sold both of them, then I really needed to get another one to charm kite some Velious camps for exp and cash. Third ring took 30+ hours to get. I really wouldn't do the 2 spawn camp until you are around your 40s. The ring is definitely a game changer. though I use it to bard charm kite effectively without worrying if my charmed pet's health gets too low. Allows me to instabreak charm when mob is around 10% where I just finish it off from there.

Levelled a Mage 12-24 on this ph. (Started with a farm group, finished solo).
Got first ring just before dinging 25. Amusingly got a second ring shortly after running thru the zone on the way to help a monk epic fight! Both ends of the spectrum there. | ||

I've done multiple 6-12 hours sessions (at the double spawn) without seeing a ring recently ish , but the very first time I did the camp I got 1 ring in like 1 hour or less, so I keep coming back to only be very disappointed and frustrated.. sigh

Get a SoW and run around the ruins, aggroing all the PHs with a smack. Take them to spawn points and let your pet kill them all. If you only find one PH, root it and continue running around gathering mobs and repeat. Once you get the PHs respawning, sit down next to one of the spawns to get aggro and use lowest level tash to aggro the second spawn when it pops. Keep your pet hasted and med the rest of the time. Its an awful camp so be prepared for pain. The best advice I can give you is to do it in 2-3 hour sessions max. Watching two spawn 30 second spawn points for too long will crush your soul.
