Bronsun comes to newbie zone, screws over newbies - Page 2

he could easily have found other ways to do this that would get him faction and let you all get exp and loot, so he's just an idiot.

I'm wondering if he was getting the faction to buy a Hole key...

Honest question! I want to get my faction up at some point for this as well. I am assuming the Warrens is the best place to get it? Of course I don't want to be an ass about it. Wouldn't the best approach be to buff the shit out of the newbies and just tag their mobs with something tiny like burst of fire? In that scenario everybody wins. Of course, I'm a Druid and not a Monk haha.

The best thing to do is just farm it during offpeak times.

It depends on what the newbies want (and how much work you want to do), since apparently some people don't like being PL'd. Your way would work but takes some effort to individually hit each kobold with whatever dumb spell you want, especially if they're mowing through them with thorns.

Instead of tagging each mob, you can buff the newbies and tell them to just bumrush groups of kobolds and you'll keep them healed. You'll get faction hits for healing them, no risk of stealing kills, and it won't require as much targeting. I guess you might run low on mana depending on how often they need heals. Venril Sathir pants would be very useful here, you can buff with the clicky and then just use the clicky to heal them as well.

I don't know why I always forget about Healing as a tag lol. I do have those pants so I know exactly what you mean. Perhaps I'll give that a try! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

If you really want to PL them, you can actually pants yourself (lol), pull a boatload of mobs, tell them to do at least 1 damage to each mob once, then thorns yourself. If the mobs don't hit you very often (which is likely), just sit so they land hits. They'll hit for their max damage when you sit, which isnt much on a high level but it will make a dent when you have a zone full of mobs hitting you. Then you just click pants on yourself every so often, which keeps you healed AND keeps aggro on you, without risking a kill steal.

You get to clear the zone quickly, for maximum faction for you and maximum exp/loot for them.

The fast way is to use a bard or enc friend to charm the vendor and just buy a key while charmed... if you have sneak you don't even need charm. Granted getting to said venor by yourself might be an adventure.

Just have a rogue friend let you down and back up and use sneak to buy.

Its better to just make a brell worshiping halfling (theyre non kos in the hole to 90% of the zone) and make an erudite key alt qnd just leave them there. Or you could always just buy the key without factioning if you're a bard, chanter, or monk. Pretty sure you could use puppet strings too if you really wanted to. Or of course you can just duck and squeeze theough the opening at the top if you're a small race... Point is its not worth it to faction to buy a key [You must be logged in to view images.
