Latest revision as of 03:47, 4 September 2024

I wanted to create a quick guide for Druids to charm kite animals from level 14-60. I have written down some but I need your help creating a bigger list. I created some rules for adding animals to this list and and here they are:

  • Animals from outside zones only
  • No rare animals
  • Level 12+ animals
  • From places where you can actually kite
  • Once you've charmed an animal, use the spell Flame Lick (Requires Fire Beetle Eye to cast) to hold the Mob agro. Or keep recasting Snare.

Contents

Level 14-19

East Karana (EQAtlas with overlay)

Leveling

Get a port to East Karana and bind at the bridge. Green is the resting zone, Orange is the killing zone. Everywhere you have Orange is where all the animals are. On the North side, charm a blue con animal against a white con one and thorn your pet. Try to keep both at the same level of health. Thorns and maybe a dot at the end should help even the fight if you do this [another option is to let your pet do all the damage while you just manage aggro; experiment with what uses the least mana]. On the South side of the zone you can charm one of the wolves to fight against An Undead Reaver.

Level 20-24

Level 25-29

Everfrost Peak - Run and Mammoth Spawns (EQAtlas with overlay)

The map on the right shows a generalized idea of where six mammoth spawns are with each red circle. The green dot represents where the Shaman spell merchant is located which doubles as a place to sell, a safe bind point, and a place to med. The blue path represents my killing path when I do this zone. The mammoths are perfectly grouped in spawns of two to allow you to charm them down and move on to the next one. When I reach the end of the path (near the Hill Giant-model statue), I simply gate back, sell, and med up if needed. At level 28, the mammoths near the merchant should already be respawned long before you gate back.

Since this is a relatively popular killing/farming spot for the level, it's possible to split all six spawns up into three camps. The respawn times aren't too dreadful and it saves you from all the running around you have to do.

Also, another friendly reminder - be wary of the wandering Barbarian NPC (Tundra Jack) when in wolf form. He WILL bash your face in. Safe hunting! -Leth (06/05/2013)

If a glacier bear is up you can charm him for easy mammoth kills from 28-29.

Note: As of January 2016, the map doesn't seem to reflect the current mammoth spawns on Project 1999. (I also found this camp annoying as you get lots of green orc adds to deal with)

Note as of 03/01/2023: As a 26 ELF DRU, this camp was fairly lucrative, but safeties and certain measures need to be taken since charm resists and breaks can be somewhat frequent (several times I had a mammoth that resisted 7 charms in a row and had to zone. Gate/Ring of Surefall must be on your bar for either an escape or a quick return to the Shaman vendor temple if a pull goes so sour that you are running out of mana to start the fights. The strategy followed during these pulls in particular for escaping was to get to 20-30% mana, recognize the necessity for an escape, root/snare the mammoth, and then Ring/run for the Permafrost zone line.

This guide used to recommend A Raptor and a Vicious Raptor in Timorous Deep. However, as of the 03/09/2013 patch raptors are no longer considered animals.
