Burning Woods

Did the sarnak fort camp from 38-48 on and off. Spawns are fast and on the TLP server, it's about 1% exp per minute, if not faster earlier on.

Btw, gorillas see invis and there are lots of warping/pathing issues heres.

Is there a good spot to camp as a ench/mnk/sham combo at lvl 35-38? I think we are a bit to low for the giants and was wondering if there was some ape or sarnak camp.

I have found a great spot to grind AA'a (72 so far, with 53 more to go) that is totaly safe from adds. East of the Giant fort (loc 1200 m472) are some ruins with 6 undead spawns which are either Green or Light Blue to me at 55. Wipe everything out, med 15 seconds (sometimes!) and back to work. Paladin OWNAGE is an understatement.

Just in case anyone missed it, here's the story of Burned Woods.

I've been killing gaints at the fort and am getting Kromdul faction .... but can't find anything on it

hunted there a few days in row adn found it quite a good time for a 52 mage. I Killed named wurms whenever i saw them and yet ot have a burning embers drop, but it is rated as a rare drop so it wil take a while i am sure. Mostly LB everything and 51 Earth pet (ds and BO3, fully equipt) does great. Soloed a few hour seach day, and was the only person in zone for 99% of the time..very nice place on FV server to play..

I was traveling through BW that other day to get to Cdok. And I saw the craziest thing ever. There were 25-30 Warboned Skeletons walking in a single-file line. I IVU'd up and went to see what was going on. At first I thought it was a train or something, but then I noticed that I was the only one in the zone. I followed the skelle's to see where they were going. They walked the zoneling all the way to the Sarnak fortress. Once inside, they split up and went to different rooms. There were about 5 in each room, and 5-10 roaming the open area inside the fortess walls. Being the nice Necro that I am, I decided to kill them all. Everyone of them con'd D.blue to me at 57. By the time I was done, I got 3%AA, and 7% REAL EXP. They have a ton of HP, but easy enough when you slow them and get out the monkey pet =)
Anyway, the intresting part is... I went back about 10 hours later. No skelles. I roamed around the zone looking for more and came across an empty ruin. It's the furthest north ruin in zone. And there they were. Standing in 2 groups. About 10 in one group and 15 in the other. My wife logged her 46 Cleric on, and we proceeded to wipe them out. I could single pull them with slow. One by one they all died, with A LOT of effort avoiding the massive amount of roamers there. I'ts like Wurm highway or something. After it was all said and done, I got another 4% Real exp and the Cleric had gotten 41%...yes, I said 41%. The exp on these guys is just plain sick.
SO, my question is...Is this Skelle army spawned? Is there a timer? Are they part of a quest? Maybe a game bug? I keep checking back to see if they are up again, but have not seen them since that day.
Anyone have any info?
Thanks.

I am a 47 paladin that is not well equipped, and I have just started soloing in this zone. I found a spot (cant remember exact loc) close to the ruin near giant fort where I can fear undead and they basically walk in a triangle around me until fear wears off. I just fear whack it 3 times, and recast fear. I managed one full gold there in roughly 2 hours without any of the mobs I was fighting hitting me more than a few times. This place is amazing for pallies. I do suggest getting KEi though. It allowed me to use expulse undead on the mobs till they were at 50% health, and I never had to med. With a cougar claw earring and KEI it actually seemed like I was gaining mana back everytime I cast Spook undead!

This zone is a 51 paladin's dream solo place. A large amount of Undead, the live monsters are great to melee, and the tempting Wurms.

2-16 people in the zone and it mostly free kills. You can solo this place easily. I have made 2 AA points already in 1 week.. I love it.

Also Higher level Undead I spook then kill.. spook and kill.. after about 10 spooks the higher level undead are more managable. I have a DW Helm and a DW Bracer that work fantastic together... and the a Cougar Claw Earing that lets me conserver mana on the Spook the Dead..

So, I will continue to do Burning Woods for a long time.. enough to gain about 30 AA points or so.. then I will start to level again..

Wow what a place to hunt... and when I get tired from this place, I just move into Skyfire and shout for a Group.. and in 3 seconds I normally get called by a group of mages, wizzies, and enchanters looking for a nice tank to help them for quick kills.

EQ has just become very exciting again.. and I think I will dread the 52 level duldrums (the magic level that takes 3 times as long to gain exp.. ugh!)

Anyway.. when I think EQ is getting too boring and mundain... hehe.. I wake up to a new zone.

Good luck all..

So im really getting board of DL and I was wondering if a 45 sk cold get a group here, and if not could some one suggest a spot, Im looking for a spot like DL where there is always a number of people in the zone. I hate going to a cool zone and only finding 1 other person.

Anyone hunted the undead ruins near the sarnak fortress(pos 2 on Eqatlas map) Am a 51 cleric and looking for a place to solo during week, and was just curious if this spot regularly has greater plague spawns, if there is a spot nearby that is safe to med, and if it is ever camped?

Thanks

I'm a level 46 Mage, and found partnering in DL to be fairly good xp. The only problem is that DL is WAY over crowded. Looking at this site and seeing the tag 'summuned mob' next to hornets is kind of like a mages dream! Besides the Hole, I can't think of many other places where I can utilize the proc'd dmg of Swords of Rune. My question is, whats the best way to hunt these hornets? soloable? grouped? partnered?

Thanks ahead of time,
