Just to make you guys mad and/or crazy, i went to FM once and camped giants for 1 hour and got a FOREST LOOP, leg chopper and giant grub digger :P

i know secret. if you hear a rumble sound then one of the giants spawned with a loop

Anyone else enjoy beating on these guys because they look like Michael Stipe?!?!

I have been soloing the fort since Lv26 (iskar monk)

I pull to the wall near Cabilis, and if you get the right spot you can fear/instill and the run straight for the wall.

Allowing you to beat on without fear of agro! :)

I just dinged 29 (Druid), and am very poor now from buying my new spells. Yet I still want to work on upgrading my equipment, so I decided to go camp the 3 spawn giant hut north of the fort. I did evergreens for about 4 hours tonight. Very easy, doing the root/dot stack/med thing (you do not need to harmony them) there is almost no down time. No loops dropped of course. Most of them are still low blue to me, so XP is a nice compensation for this, because the only other option is to just port for a week in order to make money to buy them. The giants seem to drop anywhere from 2pp to 10cp, with about 1 out of 4 dropping a evergreen ivy ringband, I never saw anything else. My question is, how often do these specific giants drop the Forest Loops? I had read on here that this location seemed to have a better drop rate than the fort. Is this accurate? Anyone have any rough figures on the %. In a day or so these guys will most likely be giving me green xp, so I would just like to know if I am wasting my time, and would be better off just saving up and buying the loops at a later date.

I've been soloing with my druid here since lvl 20. I'm 22 now. I've spent 3 days now killing these things. Trying to avoid evergreens, a few con yellow, the red ones resist my snares. Well I've killed well over 50+. Mostly Greenwoods. Haven't really expected to get a loop either. I never am lucky enough for anything to drop. I sometimes even get 2 copper off evergreens. Well Today I was hunting and about my 4th hour playing today a high lvl 30+ toon comes in and kills one sapling and gets the loop and leaves. It makes me sick that I've killed prolly 70 of these things and have got 3 weapons and she kills 1 sapling and gets a loop.

Im a lvl 20 monk and one of these cons black to me so that proves they go low as 20

Pushovers for a druid!! Even a weak red con is doable!! Make sure you are fully buffed and full mana first. Then you snare, DOT (creeping crud), kite & dd for a bit (save some mana though) cast dmg shield on yourself, melee. Reapply snare if needed and maybe one more creeping crud (you did save some mana right). You can take yellow & reds this way with anywhere from one to four bubs of life and none to 1 1/2 bubs mana. At least that was the case with me and my wisdom is only 117, armor is mostly rawhide with a couple of nicer pieces. In other words I an no where near a being a Twink ;-) so most any druid 24+ lvl can do this!! P.S. I know DOT's are not 100% effective if you are running from a MOB but even at 66% effect creeping crud is almost as mana efficent as your DD careless lightning. It's good to be doing constant damage to a MOB while it chases you and you are also blasing it. Plus with my above stratagy you should end up engaging the MOB b4 the first DOT wears off so it will be slightly more effecient that a careless lightning. If you end up casting the second creeping crud it will be 100% effective as you will be meleeing at this point and/or the MOB will be trying to run :-). The above stratagy also works at lower lvls in illomen fighting sarnaks & gobs that are weak red & yellow. The difference is you will have to use stinging swarm untill you get creeping crud and if you are below 19 you will have to use ignite instead of carless lighting. I was able to get xp much faster soloing this way than grouping. You should still group though to build friendships for later uber MOBS and for those nasty places where solo is just not possible :-) Well that's my 10 plats worth. Good luck and good hunting

Theese guys are mean,but from what they drop they are great for a group. The following is what i have seen in 2 lvls of killing them.

Forest Loop (mine)
Forest Giant Hammer
Leg-Chopper

thats all i have seen, if I see more i will update.

A group went there for the first time last night. At first we loaded up on tanks...3 tanks, a cleric, an enchanter and a necro. We all thought that these things were going to be tough as hell. Turned out that these things are easier than the Sarnak Fortress in Ill Omen! At the very end, me (the cleric) a warrior and an enchanter were taking these things down with ease.

I think the exp was great in this fort. They dropped up to 4pp for some of us, and a Giant Tree Flayer. Also as I was gating out last night, a shout was heard through the zone that someone just looted a Forest Loop, and we was kiting giants in the fort.

We were all around level 24-25, so I think a group of players around 22 or so, properly balanced, could take this place.

Camped these yesterday afternoon for about 6 hours. Got 3 weapons and 1 forest loop. I do think we were lucky to get the loop in about 100 kills. I think the forest loops are more common on the higher level forest giant camps in other zones. Btw, we got ours off an evergreen.

OK, here's the scoop on the loop. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never heard of a loop dropping off any giant in Warsliks besides the greenwoods. I've killed roughly 400-500 of these clowns and only gotten one Forest Loop, and that was off a greenwood. I've gotten some nice gems off the evergreens, and they often drop better than 3 plat. To be honest, I've lived in this camp since level 22 and I'm level 29 now - they're GREAT xp, but I'm thinking of moving on and just saving up to buy another loop(, I'm tired of this camp.

All giants have chance to drop all the giant items. Ive gotten weapons form reds and greens. I pulled a blue giant at lvl 20 and got a forest loop. Be careful though, ive casted on these guys and sometimes it takes them like 10 mintues to arrgo you, dont go in to another fight, its to dangerous. Oh and ive probably killed around 300 giants and seen maybe 8 items, including the loop i got.

This must be an ULTRA rare drop on the forest giants. My partner and I have killed at least 70 giants, and have not seen a single loop. We got a tree flayer and a grub digger, though... 11pp and change for the flayer, almost 40pp for the grub digger. Not bad for a mob drop weapon.

these guys rarely drop anything, i have camped for 5-6 hours now, and all oi got was a hammer of flattening. The forest loop is really really really rare......

Last night we were inside the fort pulling whatever giats we saw and we manged to a foresst loop a leg-chopper and a hammer of flattening after about 7 hours just camping there

Got one last night, stats were 10/41, not the 10/21 listed above.

They don't wander around in packs, but they occassionally cross paths. There's a large fort in the middle of Warsliks Woods. They are concentrated in the fort, with guards at one of the exits to the fort (just giants, not Iksar guards) and giants also roam around the fort outside.

At 29, most greenwooods conned green, had an occassional blue. All evergreens were blue at 29, still blue at 30. Greenwoods all appear to be green at 30, although I may find a rare blue one.

Looted Leg Chopper the other night, my god, the sword is huge. Well, it looks huge on the giants, anyway. Take a look here...http://astro.temple.edu/~fmoffat/img/giantsword.jpg

You have to realize I'm standing WAY up the hill from the giant's feet. Sword sold for 30 something pp. Weapons are pretty rare, never gotten a forest loop yet, but I have gotten a few gems, rings and amulets that sell for around 10pp. Not bad.

All the giants spawn with a chance to have a weapon. I've gotten the hammer off a sapling.

If you see a giant with a sword KILL IT!! It will either drop a very rare sword with nice stats or a leg chopper that sells to merchants for a nice 32 plat.

I hunted these last night and never got anything cept those trash necklaces. The hammer of flattening comes off the greenwoods, not the evergreens (Mine did, and about everyone else's did). Forest loops come off Greenwoods, and these guys are always red to my level 23, but I can still cast on them, so I'd say their maximum level 29.

These guys are blue to red to me at 23. Common drop is a + 1 STA necklace that is no-drop. Rare drop is a Tree Flayer(2hs,10 dam,21 del) and another sword of similar stats. After 4 hours of camping, one of them dropped a black pearl!
