Lament is a must have song. What this song does is give you the ability to
single pull mobs from groups of up to 4. When a mob is hit with lament it's
agro range is great reduced, this allows you to pull the one standing next
to it with out the lulled one joining in. It's great for breaking up large
camps, like the bandit camps in West Karana or the Orc camps in the commons.
Save your coppers and get this song as soon as you can.
One way to make the money for this song is to do the Qeynos to Kelethin
trade run. In the Qeynos Hills you will find a pair of NPC's near Surefall
Glade (Baobob and Chanda Miller). They will make wolf and bear hide armor
items that are usuable by the caster class. This armor has the same or
better AC then Leather, and the finger wigglers in Greater Feydark will pay
very well for these items. Here is a breakdown of who make what:
Baobob Miller:
Wolf hide belt AC 3 - Low quality wolf pelt + 5 gold
Wolf hide boots AC 4 - Medium quality wolf pelt + 15 gold
Wolf hide cloak AC 5 - High quality wolf pelt + 21 gold
Chanda Miller:
Bear hide belt AC 4 - Low quality bear skin + 5 gold
Bear hide Boots AC 5 - Medium quality bear skin + 15 gold
Bear hide cloak AC 6 - High quality bear skin + 21 gold
Typical selling prices in Greater Feydark:
Wolf hide belt 2 plat
Wolf hide boots 3 plat
Wolf hide cloak 4-5 plat
Bear hide belt 25 gold
Bear hide Boots 4 plat
Bear hide cloak 5 to 10 plat (these are high sought after)
When I used to do this in the first few weeks of retail I would net at least
50 plat a trip, sometimes over 100.
Good luck!
