At least for the very low levels that seems slower than just throwing regen and DS on the lowbie. In most newbie zones a lowbie with a DS can run around and get like 5 mobs to kill themselves in the time it would take you to battle down a single mob. Granted the lowbie might not get a hit in on all 5, but even if they only hit 3 that's still faster I'd think.

Once they start getting higher in level though I can see why your way makes more sense. Thanks for the explanation.

I guarantee you, it is not slower even at levels 1-10.

Yeah...it's easy for druid to pull red mobs to at low levels for newbie and the exp flies. Plus, since mobs on same faction no longer run at low-hp, druids can power level anywhere now, instead of in undead only zones like befallen and unrest.

DS power levels are probably fastest power levels until 20s. I don't do them past level 10 due to not having heals against higher level mobs and being lazy though. I prefer to beat a red mob down to low hp, charm, break charm and allow PLee to kill for 10% of level. This is still probably not as fast as a druid DS.

EDIT: grammar and spelling

Good post. Why people would PL to 20 at all tho is beyond me when newbie quests are available to ding to 20 in like 1 hour for <1k.

What newbie quests allow you to hit 20 this fast?

Gnoll/Orc scalps?

You mean the mob flee mechanic being completely broken atm? For maybe the past 3 months mobs will not flee if they have allies within a mile away. This should only happen if multiple mobs are aggroed. Pretty annoying having nothing flee.

Orc Scalps to 20 are pretty solid. But you need a large number of them. I think I turned in something like... 7 stacks got a warrior with no EXP penalty like 3 levels (18-21)?

Not less than 1k for sure for the number of scalps used. And only got the top end of those levels. The time to buy all the scalps is quite intensive as well. Accumulating that many takes weeks of living in EC.

Getting druid PL from 1-20 usually takes like 2 hours +/- EXP penalty. Though I haven't done a fresh PL starting at 1 in awhile, so I'm not sure.

Deathfist belts are excellent for lvls 1 to 12.

Orc scalps 12 to 20 and then left goblin ears 20 to 30.

As far as farming plat, as a lower level druid you can do thex mallets, paws of opolla, and west common cap quests. At higher levels you can do seafuries, lguk live side camps, droga, and some other places as well like the hole.

Btw not that anything worthwhile drops in north HS but its a good spot to level a druid 56+ if permafrost pits aren't your cup of tea.
