Dawnshroud's Peak lvl 24-39

You guessed it another microsoft paint drawing.


This place is really made for 29-39, but I know u twinks can do it at lvl 24. Might get some resists on darkness. But when u get dooming darkness this place rocks.

Why camp here? NO ADDS! Nothing assist here as long as you stick to kill Zelniaks. Leave the Large Zelniaks alone, they give same experience as the regular ones, but have twice the hit point. Leave the wolfs, tribals, shrooms alone. This means u can't die, unless u get greedy and kill anything other than Zelniaks.
Zelniaks are 2percent a kill till 34, then it becomes 1percent a kill.

Watch out for a trapped spawn wolf in the rocks on ur right side, u'll see it when u get to camp, there's a buncha rocks, if u walk in the middle of the rocks all wolf will spawn and aggro you. He'll own you unless u are lvl 34+.

Anyways use Dooming darkness to pull back to camp, apply dots, send pet, apply fear. sit med and repeat till dead. That's it.

U can sit anywhere here and nothing will aggro you. Remember stick w/ zelniaks and u'll rack in experience. If u get greedy and pull tribals, u'll get adds and that'll just mean lots of down time. Buy Mage pet toys, they will increase ur kill rate buy alot. Buy 2 weapons for pet, he dual wields.

At lvl 34 it gets even easier, use dooming darkness, apply vampiric curse or venom of the snake, send pet, invoke fear, sit and it'll be dead. takes like 2mins to kill one. Zero down time.

I like you guided info here, I play on Lanys server, i'm in guild but its a really weak guild atm, my main is a chanter and i wanted a charactor that i could solo with and everyone i ask said to be a Necro. So i have created one, and i must say i like it so far, but i'm still new to setting him up on soloing him, with your info here on your post this should help me out a bunch, thank you.

well, at level 29 this is not as easy as it is made out to be, the first zelniak i tried to solo conned yellow, he resisted dooming darkness twice and fear about 6 times. When i eventually did land fear it lasted all of about 10 seconds :P this meant my pet died > very large downtime. Looks like a good spot though, i will persevere and hopefully it will be a bit easier in later levels.

thanks for the guide though, its detailed and easy to understand :D

My advice though is not to come here till at least 29.

Hmm having said that, just found a blue zelniak, englufing darknees rest once, easy kill :) no downtime.

At 29 the overthere is pretty good. Also although fear is very nice, it isn't mana free, or problem-free(sometimes mob vanish or warp, sometimes it last like .5 seconds etc) I just turned pet taunt off, and kited with my pet being a really efficient dot, and it seemed to work better (in OT). I'm not to sure about the entire zone in DSP, but when I've killed trains there, or rain through and agro'd...well whatever the hell is there /boggle, the corpses didn't drop anything. I don't know how loot-centric you are or wanna be, but at the very least, your exp at 29-39 should cover spell cost, I don't see that being the case in DSP. Suclin doesn't drop money.

[Bonechipp]

woot, ding 30 :D

[Bonechipp]

i like the new sig pic jeb, thanks for info. Yeah i am aware that the loot isnt so good here, but its a fun place to hunt at the minute, and the exp is quite fast and risk free. I will have money problems though if i hunt here till 34, so i'll probably move when i get to 32 or so. I tried the overthere at about 27ish - i found the number of blue/white/yellow mobs avaliable was quite low, so everything tended to resist engulfing darkness. It's probably better there by now though.

A question about aggro kiting and ticks - are all 'ticks' in the game synchronised? what i mean by this is will my mana regen at the same time that my DoTs do their damage? if this is the case i can use the dot damage info to know when to sit down to med, then get up, run a bit, and sit down before next damage tick.

Thanks in advance :)

I have found that at 30 you can aggro kite the wolves and at 31 the giants for 2-3 percent each. Im currently 33 and still doing it.

In Great Divide...........left that out...............seemed important........

I have had some trouble with the guards reaching DSP. Could anyone offer information on how to get to DSP without getting killed by guards. I am a 34 necro gnome. Thanks.

[Meithos]

Nexus -> Neth Lair -> DSP

Neth Lair guards should not be giving you trouble unless you upset their faction, if you have probs just invis at Nexus and run through NL to DSP (straight shot).

Usually someone's corpse is at the zone in, handy for making pet :)

[Meithos]

Btw, I just finished this from 29-34. Nice wide open area for fear kiting. I actually used a combo of fear/aggro kiting here sometimes just for practice.

Darkness, Boil Blood, Fear, then sit. 1 Dot is enough, you'll need to refear one time. Turn pet taunt off and the zels will run back to you waiting to be slaughtered.

When they would run back I would aggro/med kite the last 50% of their HPs away. Run 5sec, sit...run 5sec, sit. The area you can run in here is pretty large, just run in a square or long oval. I did this instead of refearing because it let me do a "pre-scout" for the next zelniak to pull so there is no downtime scouring the area looking for another one. Plus you save mana by not refearing. At 33 I was able to do 15-20 of these before going totally OOM. Great place to learn mana management techniques.

One a side note, from medding high up on the rocks, I noticed how well-kept the lawns are in DSP, as the grass patterns looked like a baseball diamond with straight-line cuts. Must have high paid NPC groundskeepers to mow it.

what level do pets get duel weild? i am 26 necro fennin ro

[Nigyl]

29, AFAIR, but you have to give them weapons at that level.

I have been fighting here since 24 ish... I was killing yellow and red conns, at first kind of like a druid would kite, darkness, dot, send pet and just stay away from the mob.. the aggro ought to stay on you.... once I got to 29, more and more zelniaks were blue/even, a lot easier with the 29 spells, fear stuck much more frequently.. I dinged 30 and 31 in about 6 hours of playing give or take, then dinged 32 and 33, in about 7 hours of playing, I have dinged 34 and 35 in the same spot actually faster then i dinged 32-33 due to the call of bones... PUll with darkness, venom of snake, send pet, invoke fear= dead mob usually ony using one fear (blue zelniaks only). I am currently lvl 35 necro on bristlebane server and loving the exp from this zone, exp is a lot faster here then OOT due to shorter pulls, and it may have an exp bonus.. not sure though... but comparing the two zones, you are wasting your time going to oot
