Bear pits was not for me, yuck.
Beat pits are gross.. Definitely avoided this joint as well. For a duo, find something to kill with loot involved!!!!

Another big turn off for the pits for me was it’s indoors. Druids leveling in a dungeon is just sooo limiting, its frustrating not having access to sow or harmony, hell you cant even invis at low levels indoors.

Stay away from the closed-in ceilings leveling druids! You’ll be gasping for fresh air within seconds.

Not sure how it's limiting when this is the best solo xp for druid in the game 50+. Pretty easy to port out and refresh sow and gate back, and harmony is not needed if you know what you're doing. It's like the only part of a dungeon that was truly designed for druids, even more than Kedge. Druids are actually lucky they get such a convenient spot to level since 50+ is a bottleneck for most classes.

I see it more as me being a flawed human being with flawed memory as a result (in part) from doing drugs (to be fair my memory sucked long before I ever started smoking) ... and I'm just admitting as much. But you read what you want into it. If the cool kids who smoked pot at your high school gave you swirlies, by all means project that on to an Internet stranger you've never met: I can take it [You must be logged in to view images.

This is very true, but ... having gone from like 54 to 60 there over the course of like a month (and then, even at 60, finding relatively few options for earning safety XP) I have to say that despite all its flaws, it's very difficult to match the leveling speed of the pits.

Well even putting your chances of getting the camp aside (because bear pits are pretty popular too), I'd be very curious to see stats, if anyone has them, on XP/hour, from quadding raptors or anything else vs. charming bears. Both would have to factor in deaths as both are pretty risky.

My suspicion is that bear pits would be roughly the same XP, but it's hard to say for sure.

Yeah, I did 52-57 there on my druid. Druid been sittin at 57 for 2 years now. I'm still bound there. Every time I gate back to start grinding it's either already camped, or I get the camp and stop after 1-2 cycles because I start falling asleep. One of these days I'll be able to cast PotG....one of these days..

Haha hang in there for 1 more level.. Get first of karana and move to otters!!! I don't know how it's even debatable between otters and bears? Lower 50's sure, roll bears. Higher 50's, no reason not to be quadding the otters. Absolute freedom to do what druids to best.
