Up, Down, and Up
Started off the day's activities with a quick hunt in TOI 11f. As always, this is something I saw frequently on my screen.
Hunt lasted only 50 minutes, but netted me a lot of 21f scrolls plus a few other things.
Then I decided to focus on experience by going up to the TOI 30's. Had gotten as far as 32f when I was jumped by two 3-packs of Pikemen, several of whom also had popped hastes. Stupid me, rather than venz, I was stubborn and refused to escape since I had probably been up in toi no more than 3 minutes. Result? The pic speaks for itself.
This marks my 5th death since reaching 49. That's something I really need to change, or at the rate I'm going, I'm going to have to earn 150% experience before I hit lvl 50. :-/ As you can see, my 3 minute hunt did net me an nzel. Hardly consolotion for the death, though.
So after that, I went on a hunt with JaegerSpirit to dvc 6f. Especially after a death, it's always nice to hunt with someone else. Sadly I don't have any really good pics of us actaully hunting, only this one.
Nor do I have any ss's of any of the drops. Nothing special; 1 ndai, 1 nzel, and adena. Used very few pots, however, so all in all a good hunt.
Last, I did a little soloing on 42f to end the evening. Lots of people up there tonight-it was like Grand Central Station. At one point I counted at least 6 other people hunting up there besides myself. Since I didn't get any valuable drops, I thought i'd share some of the unusual-but-not-really-valuable ones.
That's it. Here's my exp bar, up just a tad since yesterday. If it wasn't for the death, this would have been a pretty good experience day.
Hope everyone has a good week. Halloween event is coming up, so start planning and stocking accordingly!

Hey fin,
The mops up on 31fl hit a lot harder at night (since they're undead). Try heading up during the day, and it might go a little smoother. Best of luck, and keep up the xp!

Thanks for the reminder...as soon as I was moaning about my death on bp chat, someone else in the pledge said basically the same thing ("You mean you went up there AT NIGHT?!?") But from now on, ya, I am gonna keep my eye on that.
Lol, I never bothered to worry about the night thing; I figured that the experience there was too good not to use my time there.
Then again, I am (was) a kick-ass Dark Elf, so bleh. =p You could take Jaeger or someone up there and you'd own the whole place, but the experience would be a little lacking and the drops are crap.
Keep it up. ^_^
I don't know if you'd be willing to do this... but if you really want to hunt 32f+ effectively, you have to use orange potion from inventory.
Also, if you can get a strong fighter with lots of pots, 38f/39f isn't a bad place.
Hmmm I always found 31+ at night a challenge and there for was more fun... At first your going to die as you can already see... I died lots but youll get better at it and learn how to hunt there
If your going to hunt up on 31f+ my suggestion would be to stick with 34f. You might plan on using plenty of oj's. Now people are always talking about 34f being overwhelming at night. The great thing about 34f is all the different 1v1 spots. Once you learn how to use those effectively then 10+ mops will never be a problem (if thats what you run into at night). I've been hunting up there from lvl 49 to lvl 53 and like Tekniko said, you will have your share of deaths but once you get it down its a walk in the park. Oh, I dont wanna forget to mention the skele archers. That could be a different story if you dont know how to handle several of them. Usually a 1v1 spot which blocks their line of sight does the job fine. As for summons... I can't comment on that seeing as tho I have no exp on 34f hunting with pets/summons. I bring as many dogs as I can with 150oj on each and post them in a safe area away from 1v1 spots.
Thanks for the advice all! Haven't been back up there yet but when I do I'll keep a lot of this in mind.
