Ok, well, first, the 2 hours were from 7-9AM EST, not much competition.
At the risk of having my favorite spot suddenly overrun by bards, here
it is: North Karana. Now, usually, I can find 2 HGs, put them together,
zone to clear aggro and go hunt wisps for a bit and wait for another to
pop, but something wonderful happenned yesterday.
I found my 2 HGs, let them fight. During the fight I saw ANOTHER
wandering near. As soon as my HG won, I turned this new HG onto mine,
(very quick fight). Then, as I was heading for the zone, what do I see
but ANOTHER one. I circle back to pick up my friend, and go after him.
VERY close fight where I switched pets twice, then bang, mine wins.
Guess what? I'm left with a Yellow HG whose health bar is down so low I
can't even see red. So I figure what the heck, I move in for melee.
Whack! for 98 points

A HG flees in terror!
You miss!

A HG winces!
A HG says "hit by non-melee 48 points of damage"
A HG's brain begins to smolder (thank you staff of writhing)
You have slain a HG!
So having totally depleted the HGs in NK, I heal up, and head for EK, up
on the hill between the HHP ramp and the barb village are somtimes HGs.
I find two blue ones and send them at it. A close fight again, and then
I move in on winner. He whiffs me TWICE, then is a helpless prisoner as
I fear, DDD, fear(resist), fear(resist), fear, DDD, whacking all the
way.
Back to NK, where I find a HG and a griffon awaiting my arrival. (BTW,
HG blue, griffon yellow, HG wins) I take my HG for a run (across
northern part away from peoples and track a blue griffenne. WHACK. Then
it starts raining and I almost run right into a HG. We (me and my
HG)decide we can take him, and we start. a Helpful level 45 or so wiz
decides to help me out as I am obviously running for my life from TWO
HGs. and starts blasting the (non-charmed) HG.
btw, what can you do here? I mean, as we discussed earlier, you can't
send the wizard a private /tell saying "pardon me, but I am charming the
HGs to fight against each other. when it wears off it looks like I am in
trouble, but I am not, thank you for your concern" because you get to
"/tel... and the HG would be on you. (since you can't autorun backwards
:)
Anyway, he figures out what is going on once he roots one and mine
starts whacking on it. he /tells "me oh, sorry, charm". I do /r "yes,
want winner?", he sends "sure".
And that is how I got 7 HGs in two hours. With over 200plat in cash and
prizes.
HG resist rate: 50%
Number of times I got hit(while not in melee): twice
Average money: ~26pp
Lowest money: 2pp
Highest money: 54pp
Number of lambent stones: 0
XP gained: Hardly any from charm victories, more from melee, total: 1/4
to 1/2 bubble.
