Thanks for these useful tips! I hit level 27 yesterday and decided to
practice on Griffeenes to get my charm. I noticed a couple of things during
my 8 successful and 3 unsuccessful attempts, 1 ending in with my death.
1) Once, the Griffeene just flat out disappeared when my pet killed it.
The only thing I did differently in this case was using one griffeene
against another. They are so hard to find, so I couldn't pass up that
opportunity. Anyone know what might have caused this?
2) If I didn't immediately give the griffawn the attack command on the
griffeene, it tended to attack lions and grizzlies indescrimately. My only
death using sirens was from a mini-train of grizzlies and highland lions. I
should have aborted my attempt and zoned, but I didn't want to loose the
Griffeene (I almost had it!). If I immediately ran up to the fawn and gave
it an attack order on the feene the first time I charmed it, then I didn't
need to give any orders for the rest of the battle.
3) It sucks when you choose a greenie too small. You tell it to attack and
it runs off... Once one brought back GF. I don't have a MM yet, but I was
able to stay ahead of GF. I did get to zone safe on that one. I've heard
stories about GF's speed? Did I just get lucky?
4) If you are like me, give it up in the rain. I killed 2 of them in the
rain, but both times I had a bubble of life left, mostly because of messed
up timings on switch back to Selo. I have no sense of direction or speed in
the fog.
Does anyone have any tips for tracking down a griffeene? Most of my time
was spent trying to find the buggers. I actually killed about 15 fawns
using charm in sheer boredom. Who says practice first on small stuff
first!! I like danger :-).
11 attempts attempts and no charms :-(. Oh well, back at it again tonight.
This was my very first Solo'ing experience in 27 levels as a bard, and I
must admit it was fun, although VERY time consuming.
