oh hi gawain.

edit: btw thats a nice list of undead but a lot of those are really shitty spawns - the level estimates are way out in some cases too (eg. farmers at 40, lol)

May I refer you here for a list that includes only good camps, and viable mobs. There are times when undead are inconvenient and you will level faster on neutral mobs - for example drakorans will make you hit your exp cap (or thereabouts) every kill, and are very nice and soloable.

Soloing a necro is unfortunately not as simple as looking up mobs that are weak to spirit and checking them against your level.

Pretty typical VN post now that I come to think of it :wall:

Hmm Gawain?

Gawain has his own bw account dont think he needs mine.

Appreciate the feedback and I did check your list before wild and although it was useful , the one i pulled off the board does have a number of alternative areas and lets face it it was revised a number of times following feedback from a number of necros so im sure it has some value. I have found it useful so im sure others will.

Those mob locations don't look very favourable for soloing fast to 50... isle of glass -> camelot hills -> isle of glass -> camelot hills and all that travelling just to get to lvl 5 ;) They may be vulnerable to spirit but I think the minimal downtime with mobs resistant to spirit would be favourable to travelling so much !

Lol u dont have to stick to it religiously , its just options. Alternatively get yourself a minser bott.

I dont know i post this as ive found it helpful and people nit pick. Just really encourages people to be helpful

Sigh

Necro just needs loads of yellow spawn to get xp rate as groups. If they have spirit weakness it's easier to kill fast. Best spots so far I found where Druids outside Mithra, Disturbed Presences in Campacorentin and Danaoin Clerks in Lyonesse.

Faint grims...

I have a question bout these faint grims btw,

I only find 4 of em (stacked for that matter, lol), right near the arawnite camp when you come down from Snow fortress. too bad they respawn really slowly (and only at night for that matter). Does anyone know another spot for these lil' bastards ? they give rather good xp :)

Nerve youve found one of the many mobs on that list that although weak to spirit do not make a good xp spot for a necro.

The list is intended as showing mobs weak to spirit, and the level you can kill them at while gaining reasonable xp. It is not meant as a powerlevel guide, so many mobs with slow/small spawns, day/night only spawns etc are listed.

At that level either the ghouls in av marsh, or maybe the undead apple trees/apple snatchers in avalon isle will probably work better for you.

Thanx Draylor,

I was kinda in the neighbourhood (lvl 20 epic which I'll keep for lvl 23 or so cause of damn adds at Barfog tower...) and thus decided to check em out... Guess I'll indeed go back to the ghouls, although I'm not too fond of the way they're spread around the area and kinda pop on top of ya...

Maybe try the undead apple trees then. Large spawn - which are "planted" by the seedsmen. Initially they are grey cons, "growing" into aggro higher levels after 20-30 seconds. Unless your exceptionally talented its very difficult to die to one spawning ontop of you :p

Yeah I laughed at the grannies too at the time, even though several people who should know better told me repeatedly that I should go and do them :)

Undead apple trees are actually neutral to spirit ;)

If you're lazy and don't want to move often, then:

For ~15-22 you can stay at the roman villa in cornwall and do the small skeletal centurions -> skeletal legionaires -> skeletal centurions.

Plenty of spawn, don't need to move far for ages.

23-29 gray ghosts are easily the best I've found (3 spawns)

29-36 undead apple gatherers -> undead marshmen + gangers (all around Wearyall)


(that's more than 20 easy levels from a total of 3 campsites ;) )

Yup, the undead apple trees are neutral to spirit - but so what? They die fast and theres lots of them - I certainly levelled fast enough there :)

Undead apple gatherers are a great spot. Just over wearyall hill from the town. They arent the fastest to respawn, but there should be enough to keep you busy constantly.

Undead marshmen/gangers were a bit of a pain when I tried them. It seemed to involve too much running around for my tastes. Maybe I was just being even more impatient than usual at that time ;) Theyre marked as 32-38 on the original list, I wouldnt suggest going there at 32.

Then you were at the wrong spot. East of Wearyall (along the coast) there's a HUGE spawn of them (keep going east psat the first small spawn). Daytime you get marshmen/gangers (orange/red at 31), nighttime you corpse lanterns (will be yellow at 31).

Thanks for your excellent list WF
