My alt barbarian shaman is 55, almost 56. I started soloing the first three spawns of geonids in Wakening Lands. The experience is slow but steady and there's a chance at some nice gems (blue diamonds, black sapphires, jacinths, quest armor gems, etc.)

I bought the level 55 pet but have really been disappointed in it. It's always green (I'm used to my dark blue mage pets) and it really seems that epic root rotting is more efficient than using the pet (especially against the geonid shamans who dispell buffs). The pet is 700 mana, then I talisman & stamina buff it and haste and regrowth it. Takes a ton of mana and then I end up still having to heal it multiple times per fight even with the mob slowed.

I have an epic, fungi tunic and fungi great staff. I should hit 56 tonight but don't have bane of nife. Can you think of a better solo camp in Velious at this level?

If you have epic root rot is the way to go. Pet is nice to have to off tank if jumped or mana battery if needed.

55 Pet is nice for extra DPS in group where they are not tank, or off tanking when breaking into a camp. Pet will always be green, max pet does 52 points of damage. Also there is a big difference in pet tanking max vs. one that only does 45 points of damage.

On non-caster mobs that are slowed, max pet does not take that much damage when fighting the types of mobs you are talking about "geonids".

Thanks, I think I must have been stuck trying to prop up a lowest level pet. Having a mage, I should have realized the shaman pets have a wide range in levels too.

Don't forget poison wind censer, 28/20... great ratio for about 900pp.

When leveling in places like SK and whatnot, are iksar able to sell to the centaur and/or aviak merchants? Are all the same merchants available to iksar that the other evil races can use? The ones mentioned in this guide, anyway. If not, are there alternatives?

RE: South Karana merchants

The Aviak merchant Krak Windchaser cons glower to everyone so you either need to sneak, be in wolf form or use a ornate velium pendant to be able to sell to him.

I believe the centaurs sell to anyone as they don't have a faction associated with them.

This is definitely not true. I've been selling and buying from this merchant for the past week just fine on my Iksar Shaman.
