Why don't we get an xp group(s) together for Llyn Barfog? There are Diamondback toads and Needlers there, both of which have excellent xp. The Diamondback toads drop a sword(rare) and the Needlers have great loot. If we did it right the group(s) could have various level players. I could stay ungrouped and just pull(Needlers are suppose to swarm group pulls now after last patch). If there is a way it would be nice to have all levels involved. Any ideas how to organize/implement this?
That sounds like a great idea. If there is enough interest from a wide range of levels, we might be able to do something where we split groups along normal level contstraints, then have groups just grab the mobs that they can handle.
What Reinn suggested is great. He pulls (shouldn't get a huge BAF with one guy pulling), if it's a ridiculous mob then the high group takes it. If it's not so bad, the lower group takes it. If the toads and needlers are too tough for some, there are plenty of other things in LB to hunt too, and with a bunch of guildies nearby nobody should have to release.
hehehe, sorry for the long-winded reply. I really think this is a great idea, though. I'm sure some people would like a change of scenery from Lyonesse. Besides, LB is closer to Sauvage if we need to get to the frontier.
Hey, while we're on the subject of guild xp groups, what are the prospects of putting together an all-Vengeance group for the Trees? I'm not a Trees veteran myself, but I'm under the impression that we need a good mezzer for this. I'm sure we can put together the necessary tanks/healers/casters. Does anyone know what level your mezzer needs to be to handle this?
Gueuze should be able to handle trees. Worth a try at the very least. With our high quality clerics, we can probably take trees with a slightly less than uber group. Bladeturn, 1 or 2 clerics, CC, and then tanks/damage to round it out will be fine.
Lynn Barfog has good mobs for 40+, and there's good stuff around level 25 (so groups of level 20ish). The wicked cythraul and cyclops are good for low 30s, I think.
It's my favorite zone to hunt with a group. Good camp bonuses, especially if you make the lake circuit on the toads.
It all sounds good to me , when we were doing Tanglers we were getting tons of exp but had a couple party wipes and I ate dirt more times than I can count but even with all that I went from lvl 39 to lvl 41 over the weekend with my theurgist. Let me know when you guys and gals are ready to do Llyn Barfog and which character you want me to bring (42 Cleric or 41 Theurgist) and I will be there !
sorry about those wipes, Kid. I should have been taunting some tanglers off of you and Zaan, but I got distracted when Greydark started pinching Ross' butt. Besides, Pandoras kept breaking Gueuze's mez. Yeah, that's why we died. No more non-guild group members!
:-)
Yeah, I jumped on Pandoras for that later, got a bit...upset, shall we say. Actually, our real problem was that after we killed the first surge, everyone would pull the mezzes...and not always the same one. Greydark seemed anti-assist for some reason...guess it's because HE didn't die. But I digress.
Count me in for trees, or Llyn Barfog either one. And I'll need to do ellyls or something, wearing out my drum like crazy.
Sorry G-man, I think i broke a couple of your mezzes last night too but i always ran over to save you and got them off you when i did. ( almost died too )
I do agree we need to make a lot more guild groups, We do a lot better as far as deaths are concerned and its much more fun.
Places we need to try to hunt
Lynn Barfog
The harder stuff in Lyonesse
Tanglers, Trees, The higher level Danoin's maybe?
The Epic Zone ( cant remember name LOL )
All the Giants are good XP and i think there are some awsome drops there too. Might be too dangerous though, not really sure
And of course Darkness Falls
I kinda stay away from there though. All i do is die when i go into that depressing maggot filled hole
