It really all depends on where you want to bind... I could never bank in N. Freeport (being evil), so the closest bank was Neriak. I always bound myself on the docks when I was hunting the sisters... Made me less reliant on the boat to get me out of there (also a difficulty due to me being DE) Yes it is possible to solo them.. but dangerous none the less.
as a 24 druid, these rarely take more than 3 bubbs of mana...exp is decent, and they almost always loot words or something like that. Sometimes they loot the garg eyes, i would not go there just for those though, because they are pretty common, if you need money, fight in unrest or somewhere like that.
I hunted gargs from lvl 16 to 22 as a necro, these guys are great for both exp and loot. All the gargs I ever saw were 18-20, never saw one above 20th. They are decent exp up to 24 and both necros and mages can easily hunt them from 18th lvl if they are careful. They hit pretty hard, around 40 per hit and they double hit so if you do not have a pet or a partner I would not advise hunting them until you are at least 22nd. Even with my 60 Cha I get 8 plat an eye, so the loot is great.
I am a 22 shaman currently, eyes are rare drop, but well worth it, also, this is the best exp i have ever gotten while soloing. Also, me being a 22 shaman, i can't solo at this level till 24, HUNT THESE
Me an 3 others grouped them lastnight. Lvls 22, 22, 23, 25. The gargs are really easy for us. We averaged about 4pp per Garg after selling the eyes an we just kept a steady stream of them coming.
the only reason to go here is the gargs, its too far out of the way and you dont go here for the exp either, its all about the $$ you get from the garg eyes. By the way, killing the skeletins spaws the gargs.
OK - I hunt these with no pet and do Root/Nuke. They require about 550-750 damage to kill. (Hard to say exactly cause I'm blasting for over 100 every hit)
450'ish is my guess. With the pet on them, one Cinder Bolt and one Blaze and it was over.
And when I got there there with me at 34 and a 34 Nec there were skels, we could only find one Gargoyle. So we took turns going around the island clearing it, got an Eye in less then an hour. The Gargoyles seem to have a wider Agro then even the Spectres, we pulled the whole Island minus specs and they never interfered. After we started clearing Skels we got Gargoyles pretty regularly, killed less then 10
These things go up to at least about 21 maybe 22. When I went to kill them at 24th some conned as almost my level. They probably have a level range from 18-22. They drop gargoyle eyes sometimes, they sell for about 8plat. I made 240 plat in two days hunting these at level 24. Let me buy a FBR at long last :)
These gargoyles drop gargoyle eyes which are needed for the Shovel of Ponz quest for magicians in Solusek Ro. The Shovel of Ponz is the earth elemental focus item.
Kill all the annoying greater skeletons all over the island.. they rarely give exp to anyone over 16, but will make more gargs spawn. Also, they spawn near the top of the hill a lot, and will attack anyone medding between spec pulls so keep wandering the island with your eyes open.
I guess im just unlucky I hunted these for upwards of 8 hours and i only got 1 eye..but im a 16 mage and i hunt with a 18 nec and i got half a level xp wise..so i guess i shouldnt complain =)
With good CHA, eyes can fetch up to 9pp5gp.....I have a 115 CHA, and very good faction with the Sisters. Partner and I made 138pp in one night. I'm a 17th Enchanter, partner is 17th Necro. Gargs are easily taken.
