Make sure if you are hunting these guys for the Polar Bear Skins that you kill everything else around them too because all of the low level creatures outside of Halas share the same spawn.
everfrost is a great place to gight i got up to level 12 in about a day or two just in everfrost you can fight in everfrost the whole game and still get exp
I used to have a barb, and at lvl 1 he fought dec skellis but then, when you reach lvl 2, slaughter these!!!!
Begin learning tailoring, and by the end of lvl 2 you will have a full set of armour and lvl 32 in tailoring. sell the hq pelts, for about 5pp (not 30pp, thats wat it costs to buy them). Also, if you find the extreamly common "Polar bear pelts" hand em in for more armour, raw hide or tattered.. another 2 pp in the sack.
when good enough, you can use the hq pelts to make tailored back packs, which CAN be sold for high dosh
I'm collecting HQ bear pelts. Reading these forums, it sounded like PB cubs were the ticket. I have been finding polar bear skins on them. Do skins have any value or are they just a quest item?
Some of the messages on HQ pelts are getting old. Do PB cubs still drop HQ pelts? I've killed a dozen or more cubs and haven't seen one yet.
Forgo seeking out the stupid woolly spiders and get some payback for when you were level 1 and they killed you(you know what I'm talking about, any barbarians that ever actually hunted in this zone at level 1). My level 3 warrior on Terris-Thule(his name's Moomoomoomoomoo-original, huh?) hunts these things and is halfway to level 4 in one hour. The tattered armor you'll get is invaluable early on, and you can sell the pelts for a gold or two(the HQ pelts for 30pp, lowbies!). Use the gold to buy a rusty scythe from a merchant. Cheap and powerful(Moomoomoomoomoo does 17 points of damage a hit, and then there's Kick). Just keep your 1hs up for the Wurmslayer, and you are set to crush anything once you outgrow the wimpy cubs.
When I was out doing my usual routine ( killing cubs ) I came across one that had some sort of skull that equiped into ur melee slot. The reason I cant remember the name is because right after I looted it I realized I had a train on my ***. I play on a diff server now ( was cazic thule now terris thule ). One of my friends who has been plaing awhile says that I got lucky because someone must have put it on the bear.
The best method that I've found for fighting the Polar Bear Cubs at low levels (1-4) is this: Just after comming down the ramp from the merchants, head out to the main "highway." You'll see that the valley walls open to a "T" intersection, with a large boulder directly in front of you. If you sit here for a minute, you'll see Cubs, Gnolls, Spiders, etc. making their way along the intersection.
Find a Bear Cub, attack it, and then (while still facing/attacking it) fall back to just inside the mouth of the valley.
This brings the bear far enough off of the "highway" that you won't be overwhelmed by multiple bears attacking you at the same time. (Or any other traveling mob for that matter.)
The only time that this will be somewhat dangerous is when another player trains the Vengefull Soloist past you, heading for the guards by the merchant.
If you see someone running/jumping past you, followed by the skeleton "Vengefull Soloist", run for the guards, becuase you will already be on it's aggro list.
Just my $.02.

I love these things! My level five figther sat in once spot and fought about 20 of these things in fifteen minutes along with other various other mobs that aggroed on me usually to the the toon of about three of these things at a time. They just kept seeing there buddies fighting me and decided to join in so I just kept bashing them. I love the white pelts these things have. I never have had a newbie character this wealthy. Halas and Everfrost peaks rock!
These guys have been dropping HQ Bear Pelts VERY often; with two characters I got about 4 pelts each from lvl 1 to 6 (which in my case is a very short amount of time).
This level chart is way off I have a level 5 shaman that whips these things butt and get exp all in one simple and reaches high enough levels although all con blue so soon they be green
Well duh it is hard these are for level 2 and up at level three i took on like 3 of these and like 6 ice goblins and gnoll pups with them coming in repetidly (spelling)
These are very common in the newbie area in Everfrost. They are good hunting for lowlies to complete the Cindl pelt quest to get a full set of Tattered armor, slightly worse than leather, but free.
