Easy 66-68 runes (DoD)

[Zimmerz2]

This is probably already known to many, but in Stoneroot there is an undead camp, with a gimp named. The thing about this is, the named AND the PH can drop 66-68 runes, and decent loot. This camp can be duoed by time geared pally and shammy.

Its not hard to find, either. Zone in from Undershore, and head towards The Hive entrance. On the way youll see a hut, with three undead mobs outside, and 5 inside (i think). Set up camp just past the hut, between the two big hills. The level 70 mob is the PH, and the named cons yellow to a level 70. The hardest part of this camp is pulling, but once camp is broke its easy. Snare/fd splitting works pretty well, but havent tried any other forms of pulling. Good luck to all .

 

[Sei-Ryu]

If you're using a pally, you can /fade pull if you have his level 68 undead nuke, it has a snare effect added in.

 

[Spartan]

Or i guess you could Root Fade too

 

[Flaboop]

ok i dont know pallies very well, but what is /fade? or /fade pulling? sorry for my newbishness

 

[TorosTizer]

Any Pet class can pull here using a lower lvl pet. I play a mage and I have 67 air pet suspended, and pull with a 30 something fire pet. Not sure how it would go with other pets that can't nuke but I have seen a SK do it other places.

 

[rawwar]

Could a 68/70 bard /cleric duo handle this one

 

[armysoldier]

i assume a necro could probably solo this camp?

 

[Destro]

I tried last night with my necro, 1300 AA's, Tacvi gear, and was having problems. That's not to say it's not possible, but I wasn't finding it easy. I just brought over a cleric I have access to and that made it totally simple. I was able to tank it no problem. Later I brought over an enchanter to test slows, I got the "Mostly Successfull" message, which again made him easy to tank with my necro. Both the named and the PH were equally slowable / snareable, and hit for roughly the same aound, 600's on avg with a high of around 1100. Both of them summoned. The only difference I really saw between the named and the ph was that the named had way more hit points, and was one level higher.

The bottom line is a necro may be able to do this solo if you took the time to refine the strategy, but duo with a healer or slower and it becomes childs play. I killed about 5 or so PH and only got 1 rune (off my first ph no less). The named I killed dropped a decent no-drop ear.

 

[Zimmerz2]

A necro in my guild has told me he has soloed this camp, however, im not sure of his stats/aa's. I have found that the PH drops the runes alot more than the named (odd eh?).

 

[armysoldier]

zimm see if you can get his strat on it..

I really .. REALLY suck as a necro .. but would love to try this .. 8-)

 

[Mochila]

Could maybe use a few waypoints for the Summons
....How my nec friend does a lot of named....Just hotkey them then . So your char bounces right after a summon.....helps a ton since most mobs will never chain summon

 

[JCasper]

if you want runes.. theres a better spot in stoneroot for them

the even con orc legos drop 66-70 runes

hit rather gimp 900ish max and seem to have a truckload of hp

however got about 10-15ish runes in 30-45 mins there killing them

 

[neo_vs_hal]

The orc legos that Galuvwen is talking about are found at loc 1111, 670. They are located up on a ledge with a round platform that contains more orcs. The orc legos on the ledge can be mostly single pulled and brought to the western most part of the ledge to avoid adds.

I box these easily with a Tacvi warrior and any healer. If you kill more than 4 orcs without seeing a rune, you are having a bad run. Got 14 runes in 24 kills last night.

Have never seen anything except 66-68 runes drop here though. But 66-68 drop like candy.

Can u do this with a Druid pet?

Can someone either tell me how or direct me to a thread that talks about pulling with pets.

TIA

Do these orcs run on low life? IE - Need a snare?

 

[neo_vs_hal]

No snare required.

 

[Destro]

So are there any semi-easy 69-70 rune droppers in DoD? Maybe something that could at least be 2-3 boxed?

 

[IamBigDaddy]

Anyone on Bert that would like to group for 69-70 spells or better equip? I have many classes at 70 but only a couple of 69-70 spells. Pal,Shm,Clr,Enc,Dru,Bst,Rng*2,Brd all 70 plus Rog,Mnk,Wiz,Nec all 60-65

TIA

 

[Mithaniel]

Tried to 3 box this, but forgot to set my cleric on Macro and my pally (10.5k hp 2k ac) got chomped before I could slow and swap back to heals.

Usually I root the Mob until slowed so I dont have to macro my 3rd char, but there just isn't enough room on the west ledge by the orcs (unless Im in the wrong spot - I was on the little ledge just west of the bridge pulling the roamers)

 

[neo_vs_hal]

That is the correct ledge. It is a very small area with no room to CC or root on incoming unless you are pretty quick. I beat them down with no slow, but my warrior is 12k unbuffed. I forget their max hit, but I would say easier than RiftSeeker mobs. They drop runes so often that it doesn't hurt you if you need to med between kills. They are not particularly resistant to a weapon slow.

 

[Bronx]

I can duo the orc lego's with a 70 druid and beast np.

 

[Mithaniel]

Hmm, maybe just bad Rng on the hits. Pally has all taking AA and sheild block, been tanking Unrest named (lv 70-72) unslowed fairly easy with the cle just using Hot's and Cheals.

Since I know it's the right spot I'll try again, with maybe a variation in tactics.

Thanks.

 

[tstuff24]

You have to pull with anul magic to remove their crazy ass damage shield and then they are cake. I duo my BL and Druid and my only problems are pushing them up the damn wall and warping on my head on pulls. 1101 quads but with max tank and avoidance aa on BL I was never hit on all 4. BL is 10k even with symbol, Steeloak, BL focus and SV. Hope this helps some.

 

[neo_vs_hal]

Duo with Ranger tank (10k unbuffed, lots of AA) and Shaman bot. Got 30 runes in less than 80 kills. Also got 1 lvl69 rune. Big help to Annul them for sure. Must remember to turn off attack on Enrage also. :/

 

[TorosTizer]

KK, Finally checked out the Orc camp out and I love it. Took a single group here and was boxing 3 of the 6. 10k sk could tank it with his BST on slows. Drop rate of runes is stupid fast, have seen lots of 66-68 runes and a couple of 69's. The best way to do this camp in reality is to take 2 groups of friends or guildies. Did this last night and ended up over 3 runes for every person and a really kick ass aug that randomly dropped off an orc in about 45 minutes. +25 ATK, +2 FT, +3 HP Regen, +3 DS. Had 3 tank classes in the mini-raid. Always had at least 1 mob in camp ussually 2. Only problem we had was when mobs from our side ran out and we decided to pull from bridge and 4 mobs came along with the 2 pops and a wanderer, we did kill 4 of the 7 before all but FD classes died. I can't remember the name of the aug and since I didn't win the roll on it I don't have it to check up on. If anyone has seen it please post, so I don't think this was a random act of god. I was ML and almost ninja'ed it cause it just looks like a diamond on the corpse, damn my honesty.

 

[Crystane]

the deep orc leginairs do run at low hp, so need to snare.

also they fairly likely warp should the puller hit a wall, beware on pull.
-But I used it to quickpull mobs, stand on wall and Boastful bellow it, BANG
mob in camp.

On runes it turnes out every like 2nd or less mob has a rune. 2 hours hardcore
killing with high dps grp and all our bags where full, couple 69's as well.

I havent heard nor seen any 70's drop yet, but for those I suggest the mini-grpable nameds in Illsalin, or go to Dreadspire (flag required ).

 

[armysoldier]

great camp .. had a grp there today .. got 20 ish runes.. was nice..

2 glowings dropped and a decent shield.. regen1 mana regen 2

 

[someoneorsomething]

Wow this is awesome camp i duo also with bst clr combo pull with annul then send pet slow and i go in tanking. Pet of course has the lvl 2 snare proc on him. not to hard. Just watch the wander. i keep him on a timer. got 7 runes last night and by morning all were sold at 7900 pp a piece. I think i ned to raise the price hehe. well also 1 69 droped (no drop of course). Excellent post.

 

[Jigs21]

ok i dont know pallies very well, but what is /fade? or /fade pulling? sorry for my newbishness

flaboop, if you download code's compile theres a plugin called MQ2Rwarp, if you /plugin mq2rwarp ingame and it loads correctly, you can use /fade. All it does is zones you so you loose agro, but you will be in the same spot you typed it at instead of going to the succor point, aka its a succor without porting you to the succor

 

[Easy_Moder]

Are these guys kiteable? Aka do they summon? Thanks.

 

[neo_vs_hal]

They do summon.

 

[armysoldier]

yes and pulling with annul is the best way to do it .. they are meaner if you just dot or snare or slow pull

Great info

8-)

 

[iceman_001]

Well... well... I see the word is finally out. I have been doing this camp for over a month or more now. I have farmed at least 350 runes by myself. I was the first one on my server to be doing this camp, Recently I see more people making there way over. UGGG, lol.
I currently 8 box, sometimes 6 or 7 box it. I have a shd a little over 12k buffed, the rest of my group is: clr, 2 shm, dru, wiz, necro and a rog. This camp is a lot of fun. Proble the best camp I have ever been at as far as drops.
The orc's drop 66-68 Runes, and also drops 69 Runes (No 70 Runes). All nameed by Shadowspine Runes. In this zone there is several Random drops. I have gotten only one aug (Name is Effulgen Pearl) --- Attack +20, Regent +3, Mana Regent +3 and Dam Shield +3 and one Shield called (Petrified Korlach Stone Shield) --- Nice Stats 40 AC, Hps 140, mana 150. So, if you do the math, I have gotten over 350 Runes there --- about ever 3 orcs, proble killed about 1000 orcs and seen the aug once and the shield once. You can guess how rare it is.
The thing I can tell you to watch out about the camp, The pathing is horrible. They warp, sometimes brings 2-10 adds. I use my SHD to Snare them in zone (less chance of warping) and if they do, I dont bring it over to the ledge unless I am sure it is single. One other note, dont let it hit the wall behind you one the ledge or warp city and you are getting summoned, one by one till death, if that happens, disband clr and camp, seems to work well or FD necro in my case.
The orcs hit about 800-1000. If you have them slowed, GREAT, pretty simple for me, they enrage at 10%. Good Luck with this camp. I am lucky enough to have made a ton of plat off this camp. Time to let everyone else enjoy!!

Iceman!

 

[neo_vs_hal]

Galuvwen got the word out about this camp almost a month ago. Jan 1st. Everyone else that reads these boards could already enjoy it.

 

[PenPen]

seems the drop rate is nerfed. no rune for 15 orcs tonight.

 

[eqjedi]

whats the name of the named and ph mobs again?

 

[dougie222]

If this is the same camp , I wish I would have taken advantage of it... or at least stock piled some shadowspine runes for my casters which are finally coming of age....

They were never supposed to drop runes. Oops.

They have a bad habit of closing the barn door *after* the animals have escaped. Same with Sabotage.
