North Ro

Thanks, added.

In the desert itself, there areinstance entrances, but if you go to that takish building, you can enter the elddar forest.
In freeport, you can go to the caster guild, and climb the ramps all the way to the top to the big blue aura that zones into the actual zones.
There is also an Arcstone portal in the guild hall.

Anyone working on the Eight Shawl of the Coldain also goes to Iceclad. Don't forget our old friend, Lodi! The Seven shawl requires from fish from this zone also. Some spells are sold at the Pirate camp. Not sure if they are located elsewhere

Iceclad is where they sell Deluxe Toolboxes -- very good for carrying loot because of their size and weight.

sorry i meant anyone high lvl that would like to make can but i want to join lol,but,we all get to decide on a name. im on karana server.

I haven't been to cruhsbone (yet) but I have soloed and grouped in north ro and had good success with both. My 13th season Halfling Druid can solo the camp with Dorn if no one else comes along and aggros him while i am medding grrr (you knows who ye isss). I have also soloed camp 3 with no problems. The best though was getting into or forming a good group at Derv 2. Six spawns, fast action, great exp, good loot.
Why am I doing this? Next thing I know the zone will be packed out and I will never get in there?! As an aside while our group leadership was in transition one member (strategy? what's that?) pulled all 6 mobs at camp 2 while some of us were medding, despite his "foolishness" we still prevailed. There are good and bad groups everywhere, don't paint them all with the same brush. The biggest problem in North Ro is splitting loot, my suggestion; loot in alphabetical order, let the game determine who gets what and autosplit the coin. I know it won't come out "even" that way but don't sweat it, focus on your play and how to improve it, find out about the members of the group you want to play with in the future, (or avoid) remember this is supposed to be FUN!!

N Ro has been really good for my lvl 16
froglok cleric baby (have lvl 65 shammy, 53 cleric and 52 chanter)
I am low on time to play usually and would love to group, but you know how it is....
All I can say is if I can do it -- it must be pretty darn easy and with good xp to boot!
I'm looking into Oasis now --- but as long as there are blue mummies around --- umm, make that *dark* blue! I wish I'd found it sooner.

My apologies for being a tad **** and pedantic, but this is not a *complete* strategy as you have neglected to fully explain *why* players should hunt Dervishes.

To elaborate or condense previous posts:

*3 Dervish camps:
(1) Derv Camp 1 with additional Dorn B'Dynn factor.
(2) Derv Camp 2 with 5 spawns
(3) Derv Camp 3 with 3 spawns

*Dervishes are non-agro camps. Note: with the exception of the occasional Dervish Thug, who *is* aggressive, and is several levels above regular cutthroats. Oh, and Dorn B'Dynn. Taken as a given.

*Reasonable spawn rate

*Good loot: reasonable coinage, occasional Dervish Cutthroat rings, and the occasional bronze weapon. On infrequent occasions, the odd jewel drop (star quartz, for example)

*Excellent location: tunnel connects to East Commonlands, and/or you have Oasis in the next zone as a natural progression.

Although it pains me to make such an admission, you do NOT require an Enchanter *if* there is a Druid in the group. Nor will you require a Cleric. Both are very much optional extra's in this zone.

(i) Harmony
(ii) Light healing

The level 5 Druid spell 'Harmony' reduces mob agro radius, which allows groups to single pull non-agro (and even agro, if the Druid is diligent and careful) camped mobs. Druids also acquire 'Light Healing' at level 9 which allows them to act as the main or back-up healer until level 14.

The combination of single pulling with healing abilities allows for a smaller and tighter group, with minimal downtime and next to no risk; Aside, from wandering mobs (desert madmen, and the occasional visit by Dorn B'Dynn if someone has made an exceptional BAD pull/train).

A druid, a tank and a rogue make an exceptionally efficient Dervish group:

(1) Druid harmonies camp
(1a) Druid pulls with 'snare' (slows mob), or ..
(2) Designated puller can single pulled previously harmonied mob
(3) Rogue backstabs
(4) Tank taunts mob from Rogue
(5) Tank and Rogue ping-pong mob to and fro
(6) Druid meditates /em twiddles, or is free to dam shield tank (why waste mana when the mob's life expectancy is that of a mayfly), or heal, or DD if needed

Rinse and repeat.

There is a distinct lack of sweaty palms following the prescribed method. But it will allow Druids to reach the holy land of 14 with minimal ease.

"This is one of the best places to hunt for people that are levels 10-17"

Yep. You have my vote.

If you don't want to take the boat ride to faydwer, then go hunt the commons.
Commons is a little bit aggrivating at level 5 because there is that whole everything is green or red thing. You will find some things that are in level. Should be easier for you, since you're a ranger and all.
I would team up with a Necro. They are rarely grouped because few people realize thier value (I almost never find a group when I look). Necro's can solo higher-conning mobs really well (Mine was soloing yellow pumas at 6), so the two of you can do well xp wise. If you can pull an enchanter into the mix, you might can handle some of the reds if you have the enchanter Tash them. Usually lowers the MR enough that necro can land those dots.
Once you hit about level 10 or so, you can start hunting wisps (helps if you have a magic weapon, but with pet casters, still workable without magic weapons). You can also start moving (carefully) into West Commons. Or grab a cleric and a primary tank (pally or sk is my preference) and hunt befallen.

i would suggest going to another zone- this is a lil high for you. go to Butcherblock or something- not NRo though

Go to Karanas - aviarks etc in South esp will give you good exp.
