Can druids solo Myconid Spore King at 60?

[loramin]

I feel like the replies here are neglecting the PUG option.

On average a king group lasts what, 3 hours maybe, and gets one fungi in that time. Rough numbers, but if you figure you'll win that fungi 1 in 6 times, you're talking maybe 18 hours. I'll round up to 20.

I don't think 20 hours of forager cycle, or of A4 (as a druid, who can't clear the whole camp), or of farming epics or ice burrower silk ... I mean I haven't done all those myself, but ... I don't think any will get you 38k (ie. Fungi $$$) in anywhere close to that time.

If you want a fungi, I vote PUG.

P.S. Of course, if the camp is taken, it's not an option, so depending on playtimes and such YMMV.

nobody 6 mans fungi lmao its a duo camp at this point

and nobody is grouping with a druid at king

best thing you can do as a druid is port while raid targets are in window, show up, lick a wall, earn dkp, sell a Z heart / manna robe / etc

you could also sell powerleveling i guess

I know it can (unclassicly) be duoed ... and if duos are holding the camp, PUGs aren't an option.

But if the camp is free, I don't think it's impossible to find five other people (of the right roles) ... or less (even with a Druid you probably don't need 6) ... who want a fungi.

Unless the server really is dead, Fungi is one of the most popular items on it. Many will jump at the chance.

I haven't done Fungi King in the last two or three years, so it's possible things have changed.

But generally speaking, Fungi King was done by 2-4 players. Usually something like Enchanter + Monk + Torpor Shaman. The 4th player could be a Cleric if they don't have a Cleric bot for CHing the charmed pet, and reses.

Druids usually don't get invited to an existing PUG of strangers for Fungi King. This is because less people at the camp means a better chance of getting a Fungi Tunic, or less people to split the money with on a Fungi Tunic being sold. The group would need to be really chill to just let anyone in to win a Fungi Tunic, especially if they are an unecessary class like Druid.

I don't see how a druid could start a PUG at Fungi King realistically, as the druid would do nothing other than the initial ports. If you want to start a PUG at Fungi King, you usually need to be a level 60 Enchanter/Monk/Shaman/SK/Cleric.

The two ways I could see a druid getting into a Fungi King group is a group of friends or a guild group.

Are there any camps that druids are welcome in at 60, or is it mostly just solo/raids?

I'm working on an enchanter alt so that will probably (eventually) be my big farmer.

There are some camps that could use a druid for sure. Not sure how often PUG groups are formed in these spots in 2026, but here are some ideas:

1. Platehouse/arena/4way groups in Kael could be a good druid spot, since druids can charm wolves.
2. Chardok, since druids can charm the dogs.
3. 6+ Dragons in West Wastes. Charming may not be ideal since the dragons dispel, but harmonying Sont and incomimg adds and spot heals are nice.
4. Helping people with Epics. Cleric Epic and Shaman Epic True Spirit farming come to mind.

Many and few. You have to understand, different players are different.

Min/max types see 60 Druids as a source of POTG ... and not much else. Some might recognize the strength of animal charm, but I think most would see Druids as worse than Enchanters at charming, worse than Clerics at healing, worse than melee at DPS ... basically just worse overall.

But the server is not made up of just min maxxers! It may seem like it from the forum, but I suspect less than half the player base reads the forum, and only a minority post.

Again, for min max solo action, PoM or TT cycles are your best bet. For groups, min max makes it hard unless you have friends/guildies who overcome that bias.

But if you ask random people "I'm putting together a fungi group, I checked and the camp is open, want to join" ... well like any PUG, you'll get no a lot. But, I suspect (and again playtime will impact this) a lot of players will be more excited about the chance to get a fungi than they will be hung up on your class.

This is why cobalt bracer is worth over 100k now, might as well buy an AoN. Probably decent exp for a full group too.

Real talk though; don't know for shamans but fungi king solo for ench/monks is for people at the extreme end of the gear/skill spectrum and usually a one off to check that box.

I just don't want to give OP false hope. I've been invited to Fungi PUGs quite a few times on my Shaman. The player asking is always a Monk/SK/Enchanter who likes doing Fungi PUGs, and has Fungi camp experience already.

Chances are the people who would do a Fungi PUG are doing their own group forming and checking if Fungi is open.

But sure, there is no harm in trying. I would be happy to he proven wrong.

If OP was experienced at Fungi King, and could teach players how to do Fungi King (like teaching Monks how to do the pull), then I could see a stronger case for OP being included in the group as the group leader. The other players get something from OP besides PoTG.

There's not many cash camps where a druid is an especially great addition to a group, but I think some people are overstating how hard it is to get an invite. I think Loramin's right that a lot of people aren't especially hardcore about min-maxing, and especially being able to go pick people up and even help get a seb key, it seems totally worth trying if you want to go do some seb camps. Guild groups are gonna make it a lot easier, of course.

And even though they aren't overpowered and aren't part of the min/max meta, they still bring plenty to the table. I was in a 6-man fungi group last year and someone was talking about how much smoother potg plus clicky regrowth made everything. Being able to seamlessly switch between nuking and spot-healing is nice, snare for runners and ensnare for chanter pets is nice, and if there's no shaman then Girdle of Karana is useful too.

If your goal is just to farm plat, though, solo stuff is probably gonna be the best bang for your buck. There's been a couple suggestions already, but if you pose the question in the #druid channel on the guild discord, I've got another dozen ideas you could try. Druid is never going to be a top-tier plat farmer but I've been pretty happy with what I've been able to earn.
