an ice giant  

When I was a young pup of about lvl 7 I started banking for the people who camp these things. (they drop alot of silver and gold as do most giants and it appears when people go to sell other people like to steal the camp site but I digress) I asked someone once what lvl I needed to camp these things as a shammy. They told me... "dont even try it till lvl 49" I wondered why then I started looking at the spell list. Shaman get 2 new dots at lvl 49 that each do a bit more than 1k each. (as aposed to the ones I currently have at 42 which do closer to 400-500 damage each) So, for the eager 45-48 shaman who's just dieing to kill these things, I've gotta say... stop. Find something with less hp till you've got thoes dots.

Second thing... and this is advice to the barbarian smith. They drop essence of winter. (I sent the site a correction so that can be added) Essence is needed for making barbarian cultural armor and the Ice giants are one of only a couple creatures in the game who drop this stuff.

May the 6 hammers not hit your thumb

Could a 35 warrior equiped with full crusty a wurmy and centi long, and a 34 cleric (wis 213) take these guys

I decided a while ago to make a Shammy alt..While wandering around killin bears and skellies I got a Tell from a Nec at the front of Perma...He had me doing runs to him every 45 min or so.What he did was get me to bring him 8 bags which he left on the ground as his loot filled he would drop the full ones and pick up the empty bags.When He had 16 bags of loot I would run back out to him and take 8 to the Ramp merchants sell go to him take the other 8 sell then accompany him back and drop his bags again...In 4 hours he made nearly 3k and I made about 300pp as he would give me a cut for my troubles....At my low level 3-6 at the time I was more than happy to complete this task.As the Money got me all my spells till 14 and some nice gear).If you are lowlevel and doning this for one of the High guys just put your stuff in the bank then carefully run out tto perma....as everything will kill you..)

Can a 39 War survive thoose inside ?
with buffs from 52 Shammi ?

whats this guy drop or does he only drop those

The Icey out front are a breeze to solo, the ones inside had 100% magic resist/spell resist and seem to have up toward 10k in hit pts maybe more it was only my pet fighten I didn't land but one spell the three time I trid to drop him.The pet i used was a 51 Earth he trimmed about 20% of his health off before he was himself low on health and I kew chain casting would not be worth the effort, so I gated.

How much money do this guys drop inside and out?

HEHEHEHE these guys looka funny

Just thought I'd share how I kill em.

When soloing the front two back to back:
Hit with darknes/snare/dot spell.
Fear
Pet Kill
Splurt

When front are camped and i get stuck with single spawn in back same as above plus ebolt to speed things up.



No need for lich in back, but I use it quite a bit out front. Typically I'm able to get Mana up high then cancel the effect to retain health. When using lich I generally also use deflux to self heal 2x per giant.

I like to keep my mana very high for a simple reason: I hate dieing. With the single spawn in the back you never know when you might get an add if whoever back there doesn't know what they are doing. If it's a druid lookout because non-feared igs will aggro you and your pet.

There is also the matter of Tundra Jack, Martar, et all occassionally finding their way there. I've seen all of the above and it can ***** your camp up good if you are low on health from lich or on mana. I even had the icy orcs trained in on me once. I feared Redwind and never saw him again (no doubt someone killed him).

This is a good camp for plats, you can do 1k in a few hours easy more if you have some weightless packs. If you can manage to waddle around with all the FS and other drops they add a couple hundred more pp. Otherwise you may end up destroying them because the igs do drop lotsa stuff.

PS
It does not hut to advertise the FS for 3-4pp each, the barbs can go into town and get up to 5-6pp for them with spirit of snake or other charisma modifiers. Plus then the weps get spread down through the noobs, a fine steel two handed sword is okies when you are level 5 etc.
