Hmmm, orcs sound interesting too. Might have to go there.
Me and some guild brothers found a nice spot in the Great Divide. Actually
a few nice spots, but this one we stayed at the most. There are some caves
with bears in them at about neg 6000, pos 2400ish if I remember the loc
correctly. There are a few cave openings for multiple camp spots. A little
ways up the mountain from the caves is the Labrynth Dungeon. Outside the
caves are wurms of various types. Lots of mobs. Got a Velium Spear off a
wurm and got claws off the bears, not much if any coin. There are two named
bears: Icetooth and Bloodmaw. I heard via ooc that Bloodmaw is a major
miscon and he was tough to the groups attacking, but no personal experience,
so beware. Icetooth we did see and kill. He was white and then blue to me
at 38. We had broken the cave and were keeping the spawn under control
without problem. If we got two, shaman rooted or I charmed or we used druid
harmony pull - not a problem. If had a lull in our room, we simply walked
back out a little and pulled one in. But back to Icetooth - he dropped a
better claw 11 damage, 29 delay, Magic lore, primary only. I like it a lot.
General impression: I really like it a lot and am having fun. Just not
getting enough sleep this week. Hehe.

Actually, those necklaces are pretty common. I've seen 5 or 6 of them
already.
I keep having to pass
them around to people since they're lore.
The earrings drop off about 1 of every 15 orcs (can drop off the oracle,
centurion or mystic). The necklace
can also drop off the oracle or mystic. The centurions can only drop the
earrings.
The Oracle also drops the Ry`gorr armor. At least the boots, bracer,
sleeves,
coif and collar (that's what
we've seen so far at least).. It looks VERY VERY cool on a bard. It looks
like the old Hot Rod symbol.
It's a flame that covers the chest and goes down through the legs. Probably
the
best looking bard armor
I've seen yet. To get the BP and Legs, however, you have to go kill the
Chieftain (named mob) that spawns
at the Rygorr Fort in the middle of the zone.

Ladt night while camping the orc oracle in Eastern Wastes (near the bridge),
we had 3 of those nifty earrings drop (we were pulling cougars, griffs, etc)
and a *very* rare drop from the oracle, a necklace that was like AC 8 (or
was it AC 5? Think it was 8), +3 str, and +2 dex.
Loot is nice and randomized :o)
Will prolly strike out on my own tonight (just under a bub and a half from
level) and try charm-kiting those roaming giants ;o)
