Hunting in COM

[xnavy]

Hello all, I was wondering if anybody tried hunting in com an at what levels they did it and how the exp was?

[Doomfir]

Everything but dark reavers are green to me there at 65. I can stomp that zone. I am pretty sure I could solo a dark reaver too now even though he might be as high as dark blue. Just might not want to cause of the blind spell they proc. Pets can tank blind, but if the mob gets out of melee range for some reason (like running at you), then the pet will wonder off. If you can just keep your pet between you and him I think it would be quite doable at 65 for a necro.

thank you, I am only lv 51 andI was hoping com still had the exp bonus it used to, I was hoping I would be able to get a few quick aa's there for my run3 and regen before I started to go for exp again

Don't do AA's at 51, get to 55 and then go to PoV or PoI factory and get in a group, you'll have your AA's in a few hours. You do CoM at 51 and it'll take a few days.

thank you very much I will go ahead and do the exp for now then

Doom its weird that you find things green in there. They just redid the zone. Its a 55+ zone now. They did it the same time and the same manor as droga.

You know xavier, I dont know if I have not been back since the droga revamp and was unaware that they revamped the zone. I will have to go this weekend and check it out. I KNOW that before my rogue could stomp everything in the zone but the reavers and my necro is much more solo capable than him so I figured it wouldnt be an issue; esp with the undead. I just have to go back and verify the level.

I was in nurga the other day and soloing near the mines of droga. It was much higher than it used to be. All the mobs next to the zone lines are dark blue with a few named thrown in for good messure. It was really fun! The named mobs didn't summon though so I wager they are about 50-51. They could be higher, but I never got summoned once.

If they did revamp the zone I don't understand why. There still needs to be zones that as you level up you can go back to and stomp because of the shift in your power. To keep "upping" zones as the game progresses rather than trivializing them and the mobs in them, only leads to an "against the tide" mentality. You don't really gain power relative to the rest of the game which would be enough to make me quit playing. If that happened, then there would be NO goal except to gain stuff.. but then to what end if the power needed to take mobs also advances with you?!

I just turned 54 and have run out of ideas for where to hunt. Someone in-game suggested JP to hunt in the doggy caves, but that was such a 3 hour grind of non stop killing for only 7or 8% XP (though I made okay plat and some low-mid pet weapons.) Maiden's Eye is also getting to be a grind. Will I ever see 1% per kill or even more when soloing at this level (until I can get into PoV and the like?) I've done all sorts of hunting (fear kiting, agro kiting, root/dot/kamakazi_pet, and group) in both dungeons and open areas so I am up for any suggestions.

Thanks!

PoN bro.. JP sux for exp. Go to the planes. btw, I went to CoM to con everything and yeah.. it is all green at 65 and very easy to kill. I don't think they revamped the zone at all.

Arez goto pon or pod for exp...start with ravens and trees, at 59 goto gargoyles(in pon) PoD do the rats by zone in, fd splitting.

doomfir, nothing summons in nurga and droga(king is level 60 and heaprit may be higher, and you root/rot them np all day long and never ever get summoned)...it says nothing about the level of the mob, it's just they don't have the capability. Hell doomfire guardians are red to 65 and don't summon.

That is cool that they dont, but in the old world, the rule of thumb was level 52 and higher they did. Hell, SoE threw a monkey wrench into that even because level 46 mobs in Veksar can summon you (Sentry - some are 46 and others higher). I had a DC pet in there the other day and it was pissing me off how often I got summoned. I couldn't sit hardly at all from it.

I wandered into CoM at 40 LF the nice skellies to solo since xp in Gunthak slowed down. Still trying to find a place to solo undead so i can hit 46 and stroll into the plains. Well anyway found the skelly my pet was doing okay, pulled w/ shackle then hit with VoS and drain spirit. The biggest problem was single pulling. I went left at the gate and kept going over by the huts. Usually 1 undead paired w/ one living ghost looking iksar thing. Couldn't paci the living so got the add and was wacked. If you can single pull these guys won't be too big of a problem at 40 just watch your pets life. Be safe and GL my fellow necros ;) Hope it helped

at 40 you could go to Echo Caverns and do the TM room. With the exception of the taskmaster himself all the other MoBs are skellies.
