an undead reaver  

Took my 22 BST to E.K. last night to hunt Crag Spiders for exp. and silk. When I saw my first Undead Reaver I had to get a better look!
These things are so ugly it's great!

To my 22 BST. they conned light blue, and hit for around 15-25 points per. At 30% they start ed to run, but with the pet after them they don't get far.
Loot: So far it's averaging high silver to low gold with an occasional precious stone (jasper, etc.)
No worries about the War Wolves for me though. As a Vah Shir who has never killed any wolf I am "Amiable" to them!
(Side note: The Gorge Hounds are on a different faction so I can kill them all day)

I journeyed into EK and found the undead reaver to be a nice hunting object as is the alive reaver . Both were dark blue to me at lvl 21 . I was using a Blackened ******* sword which is a 2hs weapon so I could bring up my skill lvl . At lvl 21 1/5 it was at skill 81 and since I have just hit lvl 22 its up too 92 skill lvl . Hiting for double 48 comes in handy . At master I will swith back to my 1hs where I'm at master skill and work on it . When attacking the undead reaver I would pull it away from the area it was at and let it chase me so I wouldn't agro any of its friends and I would pull with a bow and arrow and try and get off a extra shot as I ran back . Sometimes I would fight with my sword when runing backwards to get in a few extra hit before full melee took place. Also I had a gorge hound agro on me when fighting the undead reaver once in a while , I would finish off the undead reaver and then take out the gorge hound to end it . Never had any trouble with dieing so far , also I used a bow to pull so I could save mana for emergencies . The undead reavers I killed dropped some gold and silver , not much of by the way and a rusty weapon or so , same for the standard reaver also . Gorge hounds and dark stalkers dropped some meat and a few rusty weapons also not much , but the exp was not bad about 1/3 to 1/2 blue per kill . I spent about 3 - 4 hours in EK so far soloing . Also exp was for all mobs mentioned . reavers are now light blue and I will move up to crag spiders next , I do have a poison buff and a poison cure , but if a cleric is in the house I won't mind grouping with him to be on the safe side and the crag spider is still dark blue to me and I will bring my Magi who's at lvl 19 over here for the slauter . I plan on staying for a few more lvls as my main is a druid who I'm resting for the moment . I hope this helps some of the fighters . The only time I've been in EK was to hunt HG's with my druid and mostly just passed through it . Looks like a good area for up to mid 20's , then I might go to Luclin for adventureing . Take care and stay safe Friends . And Oh , by the way the loot I was comparing to was from hunting HG's , didn't mean to sound like the drops were not tht good.

Here is much better because in HH the gnolls usually hit harder and are harder to seperate. I found that these gnolls hit for less and are easier to split, they also drop better stuff.Also if your in HH the only really thing u can solo are the gnolls but here you can solo many other things eg: carrion spiders,war wolfs

Ok, after hearing that EK is a dangerous, but good place to hunt, i'm thinking of shifting my level 15 half elf paladin here.

just wanna ask, would hunting these be better than hunting gnolls in High Hold????

Thanks

Mylvl 15 pali and a lvl15 ranger were hunting reavers last night and everynow and then one of these would join in. I would just ast spook undead on them until we killed the reavers and then we would fight these. They con yellow to both of us.

Watch when you pull these, the spirit stalkers like to join in ... seen some nasty undead trains around reaver hill at night.

Some war wolves also join the ranks of the undead...they came when our fellow, Joktan, pulled 2 undead reavers. They conned only blue to me (lvl 14 druid), but they sure livened things up a bit. Reavers are good xp and drop decent loot.
