i was in kunark doing those giants as well last night. I had my necro, was
with a 51 paladin and a 42 shaman. we were holding the fort just the 3 of
us, and even pulling from the outside, we had a great time, i even got about
a quarter of a bub of xp (woo hehe)
it was a slaughter, made plenty of cash, pet got some nice junk armor and we
got some nice items too
some of those foreman tunics (blah)
a 10 ac belt all/all
lumberjack cap 10ac 3 stam
forest loop earing 2ac 3 dex/agi/wis (not lore so expect these to be wanted
by clerics/druids)
3 10ac/+7str rings (one each and they're lore)
plus some junk weapons. Was fun, was always about 60 to 80 mana so no danger
at all to hunt em.
I love the loot system in kunark, its random, so you dont see everyone
jumping the same kind of giant. most of the rings dropped on braes and crags
Rakka / Minkin
Sol Ro
*wonders if he can trade the ring for an SMR hehe*
