Question - Best hunting spot? Group composition?

[lostangelintx]

My characters are as follows:
100 Warrior (No Epic)
100 SK (Epic 1.0)
100 Cleric (No Epic)
97 Necro (Epic 2.0)
97 Shaman (No epic)
97 Bard (No epic)
97 Magician (No Epic)
95 Druid (No Epic)
85 Wizard (No Epic)

Edit to add:
Warrior AC is 6400 +-. SK isn't gold atm, so not sure what his AC is with all his good gear on. But should be similar to warrior.

Standard grouping:
Warrior, Necro, Shaman, Cleric, Mage, Bard

I normally play the Necro, and let Kissassist handle the rest. Druid doesn't get much playing time. Just a Taxi service mostly.
I usually have the Warrior up instead of the SK. Just seems to handle the tank job better.
I usually don't play the Wizard. She was being leveled up before I dropped out of EQ a couple years ago.

Can handle the wolfs in Shards landing pretty well, with the occasional screw up and wipe if pull too many. (Bard pulling)
Can usually handle the mobs in Beast's domain. Even named if I don't screw up too badly.
Can control the courtyard with the undead dogs easily. Can't remember what zone that is. Been out for a while.

Edit: Warrior has CotF, others do not.

Any hunting spots I should head for? Looking to make as much plat as I can, while still making a little XP.

Should I maybe drop the bard and have SK handle the pulling duties (and forego the crown control in exchange for more DPS)?

both cleric and sk should be able to tank all mobs in shards landing and most of RoF, except maybe for named. alth you dont say what hp/ac is of either. would concentrate on maxing their Ac regardless, there is a good tank aug list on here somewhere,

personally i'd make two groups, one for farming plat in say beasts domain or Grelleths, other for fun and aug camping etc.

say sk, druid and wiz plus 1 healer and 2 dps mercs for afk farming and your normal grp for aug farming whatever

that unbuffed AC? my F2P 95 sk with currently buffed ac of 6766 tanks in beasts domain ok with shaman cleric and a cleric merc.

would def look at camping augs for both tanks alth if sk isnt gold choice isnt that good, mostly under 20ac however you can get 4x34ac augs from baz for him about 200plat each on my server or lvl your mage to 100 and he can summmon them from couldron.

Was going to say 6400AC seems very low for a warrior. I think i hit that on a 90Sk with a full set of Heroic augs from HOT and Feerrott.

You definitely need to work on AC augs/gear.

consider the arena in shards landing. XP is not the greatest but vendor and barter loot was very good. But just as importantly you can get the alaran history fragments for the tear and evolve it up whist killing there. Aswell in an 8hr stint I got 4 stone of the landing augs and everything I needed for the crystal circle aug for four characters (already had some of the shards though).

another good plat spot mainly though /trader is the crystal caverns- fragment of fear. GPS did an excellent write up on it. Again xp is slow but it is an easy camp with good loot including the vitalising aug and crystalised slug aug and heaps of fear touched

Warrior needs to be outfitted better. Currently has Rustic havoc armor and very few augs. Mostly bazaar fodder.

Any ideas what better gear to try to get?

edit: nvm. just saw you didn't have cotf.

Go get yourself T1 RoF gear from the baz. If you're on povar and need some help hit me up.

I think doing the VOA T1 (not sure about t2) raids is one of the best ways to twink a FTP character. I haven't done too much of it but tagged along with another who did. My 95 cleric used it until I got cotf and still uses some of it.

 

[lostangelintx]

Riot,
I was mistaken on the CotF. Warrior has it, the others do not.
I am on Bertox server.

 

[playj]

Pretty sure Latent Ether(COTF group T1) pieces are tradable on a regular server, are they not?

Those can also be purchased with Marks of Valor from completing HAs but you would need 3 chars with COTF to do HAs.

Otherwise Fear Touched (ROF T1) would do nicely as an upgrade to Rustic.

 

[lostangelintx]

I will try to procure the CotF Group T1 armor this evening. Hopefully my plat stash will cover it lol. I might have to call Ourplat.com lol i don't know how much I have left. I've been out of the game for almost a year now. Or more.
