North Karana is the "nexus" of the Karana Plains. Despite the dangers of the roaming lions, wolves, bears, griffons, and occasional hill giant, this place is quite the player-friendly area: Here, you'll find a few guard watch towers for aid, a gypsy camp with vendors, and a druid ring and wizard spires for porting.

Speaking of guard watch towers, North Karana is home to what may be the most active guards in all of Norrath. The tower in the center of the zone is in the path of many a wandering animal and keeps its guards fighting off trouble on a steady basis. They win most of their battles, but occasionally lose, particularly when the opponent is an upper level hill giant, griffon, or GrimFeather.

Is this a good place for a 38 ranger to hunt griffons and hill giants? in other words, does fear kiting work on the griffs and are giants easy to solo? thx

You might want to bounce between N & E Karanas to get the most of hunting those critters as the Giants tend to come out around night in N.K and griffs can pop up rather infrequently since they are spawned when griffenes are killed which spawn when griffawns are killed. E.K. has the 3-spawn level cyclops family by the bridge to N.K as well as a hill that tends to become infested with hill giants, which are lower than in NK but more plentiful. So try between the two and see what's good for you.

PS when getting arrows you can earn a bit of coin and even some exp (but now much as ony 1 or two critters will even be light blue) as there are centaurs and most all will have 4 arrows on them and the lower level ones you should be able to melee or even if you want to make your own there is Ulan Meadowngreen in S.K. centaur village. People also sell looted ones they can't use back to Ulan or in the aviak village

Yes, you can fearkite the griffs, I'm getting a half a blue off them at 41.

The giants are better to root rot with Stinging swarm and plunking them with arrows. I go through about 100 per HG, so stock up. There are 2 places in EK to buy arrows.

Hope this helps.
