Try celps on mer'kresh or zombies in boar clan

Late reply,

Still hopping between gryphons and warklins. When did you move up to apes? I went there the other day to see how they were, and they are completely off the table right now. 500 ranks in defense, 70 reflex, fully spelled up Ranger. Not sure how far warklins will take me, but is that a reasonable jump up?

Thanks!

Wow. I am getting nailed in there, but I also am Brawling primary, which I'm guessing is going to come back to bite me in the arse now that I'm in the upper end of the critter scale. Can't get past the bone parry whatsoever.

Gryphons still work, -ish, so I'll continue hopping between them and maulers 'til I give up and move to the islands.

Thanks
GENT

If you don't mind Muspar'i... Gam Chaga will get you to 500 if you need it and then hhivinis are right next door in the 500-700 range.

Wasn't a fan of gam chaga if I remember correctly they had low stamina and in a water area so I don't think I could hunt...hvini were just a little out of my range and they spawn like nuts so I was constantly trying to kill the 4th. Crossings warklin were too packed and the spawn was inconsistent. I rode ratha warklin until apes. Apes seem to spawn 3 per room so MO never seemed to be an issue. Not sure why you're having problems GENT...are the bones killing you? I had to screw around with stances while there.

True, I just found it difficult to keep 4 weapons consiststantly, maybe I didn't har hunt because of life mana perhaps. I just remember I wasnt a huge fan of them as a ranger.

i've hunted chaga and conjurers as a necro, and they're a challenging, but fun hunt. <and for me, I prefer them for RP reasons to DPs> although I have plenty of swimming, i prefer to keep out of the water for the most part as well, as the other poster suggested, stay in the eastern area and you should be all right.

Oh and last one, DR at any given time has a population of weenies that will criticize at the drop of a hat, don't take things personally it happens to everyone.

I just went and tried purifiers for the first time 2 days ago, and am in absolute heaven. They train everything just as good as young/mature gryphons did, but the DP actually drop boxes, swarm better for me (young/mature didn't spawn as well for me as the young/fledgeling area did), and the DP also train TM (430ish) better for me.

Also, Pivuh's are right next door which allow me to train lower weapons (160-220 for lower weapons, compared to 340ish primary) and keep skinning moving well at 260s. Between Pivuh and Purifiers not even like 3 steps apart, it's easy to keep everything I train moving well. I am sad I didn't come try purifiers a little earlier.

I actually dance with 4 DP as a WM with no buffs up at all, with 390 MO, 385 parry, 355 shield, and 370 evasion, with 55 reflex. The only time I actually get hit is when I'm attacking due to the defensive penalties of certain moves. However, if I use any of my buffs at all, I don't ever get hit. Mana in the DP area is also top-of-the-line. With my PP ranks, a 15 mana room is about as high as I typically see, and numerous rooms have 15 mana. If I use fissure the mana can get up to a 19, where 99.9% of the time, an 18 was the best I'd see with fissure in gryphons in 1-2 rooms only.

Also, gem seller, skinner, bank, etc are all only like 15-20 rooms away. If you have to leave combat, a run to town takes like 2 minutes, and you can be right back to hunting again. Only thing I'm not sure of is repair shops nearby, or where people hang out at.
