More fun to start a new character naked/unfunded?

You can charm kill for exp extremely efficiently as druid starting at lvl 14 using guards provided you picked a class that has hide or you have the invis animal ring. You need zero gear to do it and it brings you to high 30s where you start quadding and mana pool might matter then. Then lumi staff starts to matter. Druid is fun if you have fun soloing.

Arvan when you say using guards do you mean killing guards? What guards do you kill? Sounds evil.

Nah there are certain lower level guards around Norrath who will kindly take an animal down to low hp for you then you charm the animal and pull it away then break charm and finish it off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I guess while we're talking about it, how much is it to MQ Druid Epic? I know it requires a VS stone, so at least 20k, but doesn't require a SEoC like Ranger epic, so I imagine it's a little cheaper than Ranger Epic.

A full Druid epic Mq is going to run you anywhere between 70-100k depending on the seller. It’s a cheaper epic to buy, but not as cheap as the rogue or cleric epic.

Druid and Necro can be pretty easy unfunded anyway. If you gear them up, you miss the whole point of classic. It's pretty boring skipping the struggle, that difficulty is what sharpens the skill. That's why Classic EQ was the best, struggle was real, no way to twink.

Well, I always follow a pre-planned path when leveling to ensure I'm earning sufficient funds to gear up along the way.

1-5: Nothing but Decaying Skeletons. By level 5 I amass around 20 stacks of Bone Chips, and selling those combined with the coin I get from vendoring rusty weapons and cloth armor is enough to afford roughly 200pp worth of starter gear.
5-14: Crushbone, sell all belts and shoulderpads to players.
14-19 Lfay sisters.

By 19 my coin would be enough to get a full set of cheap Wis gear. At that point I'd go grind rep in Warrens to get a key into Paineel (and later a key into The Hole). That would be some extra coin to gear up a little more for the Paineel guards.

Then from 19 on it's Paineel guards until at least 39, and possibly as high as 51. Between 39-51 it's either the palace guards in Paineel, or Geodes in Crystal Caverns.

Then it's probably The Hole, or to root rot Freeport Guards or Grobb Bashers.

Edit: OR Ice Giants at the entrance to Permafrost, IF that camp is ever open.

Too elite

It's funny how in norrath the animal lover non KOS to animals class (druids) use that ability to..slaughter animals more efficiently.

Good stuff.

weirdest part for me in classic is how druids can nuke summoned better than mages.
