Infected Paw  

Once my SK (2nd main) got mortal coil aa #1 the other sk's in chat informed me to begin swarming in paw to I could get used to doing it. My 75 SK with MC3 is able to clear the entire top area before repops provided your properly geared & mobs are 75% LB / 25% DB (LB needed for mc to go off). My SK is fully Katta vendor raid geared, Fabled everything else. Fabled Gem Encrusted Axe & some fabled shield I looted in PoT2. Best advice for sk's new to swarming, pull 6 tops, wait for mc to go off then go round up 10. Once you get better at it go round up 1/4 of the zone. This is great exp, and good to learn so when you hit the high end mobs you know what your doing. At 75 with MC3 I get 25-27 aa's per LoD. If your PLing anyone or boxing, park them in the back room where there are no spawns.

Best of Luck fellow SK's new to MC.. :) You'll luv it once you learn how to use it properly!!

Northernlites 76 SK - FV Server.

As a 70 ranger with 1120 AA and baz gear, all this zone is easy to fight in.
The only mobs that see through invis are named. The agro radius of mobs are really tiny. I've even put down the boss here just with cleric merc.
Loot is worthless and AA exp is a bit slow, but zone is easy for 68/73 mobs in. A good place to be when i want to play without thinking.

If you are pulling to zi there are two potential wondering mobs. one spawns in the hallway in front of the hallway that ends in two chambers, and the other spawns in the middle of the large room with a door. These two wonderers do not follow a consistent pattern. Sometimes they go all the way to the zi itself and sometimes they turn back earlier. The highest level mob in this section of the dungeon is 69 and the pop time is about 22-24 minutes. There are no named mobs in this section (all dungeon before first doorway) but there are Unmasked Changlings (mobs may turn into an unmasked changling when they reach around 50% hit points. i think this happens about 2% of the time. everytime they drop an augment with 50hp, 50mana, and 60 endurance. no reason to roll for it as many more will drop). There is also a 60, 60, 60, augment that drops via a quest (kill 4 named elementals and loot their globes), but this augment can only be plugged into a #8 slot which many without higher level gear will not have. A bummer to do the quest and not be able to use the augment.

There are a few spots you can pull to that you will be safe from wonderers and pops, but in general they are very few. One of these spots is the large rock in the huge chamber that the rockbeast spawns in (this is also the home of the officer and is called the officer's camp. unfortunately it sucks to have to all cluster on a rock.) There is another spot that you can pull to which is entirely safe (if you see a beastlord named avargon sitting there then you will have found it).

Leveled from 70-75 here and still get good AA experience for several characters. Beasts can solo here with ease and with a pocket wizzie (level 75) smear the elemental peeps.

Went with 72 cler/67 war two-boxing. Right at the front there are mobs that can't be placated with adds right next to them. Pull, Root, Root, zone like old school splitpaw days. Come back, fight one, rinse, repeat. In my situation I think I could get a lot more xp for my war in PoV. I'm not disappointed in the mobs, just the dungeon layout makes it hard to get one at a time. Bring crowd control.

Anyway we could get this switched back to the old style paw on this site?!

Are the gnolls that used to inhabit Splitpaw anywhere to be found (ala the Cazic-Thule lizards), or are they gone for good?

Well.. Its super hard just to convience people to come here after the revamp... exp is slow and loots are lame... although the quest for +60 mana hp end aug isn't that hard as the parts drop fairly easily and quickly off the appropriate elemental mobs.

This zone needs an exp mod added to make it worth visiting since the revamp.

I was having a grand time at the spires outside Splitpaw,soloing my Druid by snaring single guards away from the others or Harmonizing pairs. I quickly went from mid lvl 27 to mid 28.
More importantly, I was making a ton of Plat,which I will need to buy the lvl 29 spells!
But, with a bubble and a half to go to make lvl 29, suddenly every time I showed up at the spires 4 or 5 gnolls would gang up on me! Is this a KOS situation? And is there anything I can do to reduce the Aggro? I welcome any suggestions

Also, the classes we have are Necro, couple Shadowknights, Cleric, Monk, another Necro, Cleric, couple Rogues, Ranger...

My guild was thinking of going to this zone and doing a mini-raid. I'd really like to do this so I can get the Spell:Summon Corpse and Robe of Ishva. Getting a full group of late 30's, low 40's players should be no problem. We could also probably get more, maybe another full group of 30's, if needed. Would 1 group be able to handle this zone and the NPC that drops the spells & robe? Thanks

Anyone know of ways to improve faction with Brother Hayle so I can complete my Soulfire quest? I am indifferent to him right now. Would a carisma buff do anything to help???
