Splitpawn Lair SHM / SK / NEC 41 to 42

A full clear of Splitpaw Lair on revamp day at level 41. Every named mapped, the chain-stunning gnoll casters that killed me twice, the shields worth taking, and a sustained argument that the experience here does not keep pace with Guk.

July 15, 2026
Episode8

Splitpaw Lair on the day it was revamped, cleared end to end at 41 on Shaman, Shadowknight and Necromancer. I map every named as I find them, dies twice to the same problem, and spends the whole hour building a case that the experience here is not worth the trouble. The zone is harder than anything I have fought at this level and pays less than Guk for it.

Splitpaw Lair SHM / SK / NEC Level 41 Revamp day Full clear
From North KaranaStraight south to a hole in the wall
From Lake RathetearStraight north
Guk, by comparisonAbout 4 percent a kill
Whole clear yieldedRoughly 20 to 30 percent of a level

Finding It

The entrance is genuinely a hole in the wall.

  • From North Karana go straight south. Literally south, and you walk into it.
  • From Lake Rathetear go straight north.
  • There is no door and no arch, just a gap you step through, which is why I open the video standing outside it.
  • The mobs at the zone-in are around level 20 and do not aggro, so you can walk past them.

Get the Brewall maps first. I lean on them the entire run, and there is a video on the channel covering the install.

Instance It at Difficulty 1

Same setup I used in Crushbone the same day.

  • I make a solo instance rather than fighting the crowd already stacked at the entrance on revamp day.
  • Difficulty 1 rather than zero, because that is what stops mobs fleeing. I do not know how hard the gnolls hit yet and do not want to chase anything.
  • Respawns on, so the zone keeps feeding during a long clear.
  • The instance bugs are fixed. Buffs survive the zone in now, which I confirm on the way through.

Label the Named on Your Map

The most reusable thing in the video.

  • Edit Map, Add Label, large, yellow. I drop a marker on the exact spot every named spawned, standing where the corpse fell.
  • By the end the map is the guide. The Mender, the Deviant, the scribe, the brute and the rest are all pinned, which is what makes a second run fast.
  • It pays off inside the same session. After dying I read my own labels to route back.
  • The gnoll named have long multi-part names that are hard to hold in your head, which is half the reason the labels are worth the interruption.

Stuns Are the Zone

What actually kills me, twice.

  • The gnolls are classed. Clerics, wizards, enchanters, magicians and necromancers, and they behave like it.
  • Chain stuns lock you out entirely. I get perma-stunned with no stun reduction and cannot cast a heal on myself while it happens.
  • The necromancers nuke for 400 and stack their own dots on top, which is what finished me the first time.
  • Kill the cleric first. They chain super-heal and stun at the same time, and the fight does not progress until they are down.
  • The pet keeps working while you are locked out, which is the one thing keeping these fights winnable.

I call enchanter the go-to class here for the mesmerise-everything option, and I intend to max stun reduction immediately.

Dying, and Getting Back Fast

Invis is the recovery tool.

  • Spend AAs on a spell slot. I buy one with three points specifically so invis has somewhere to live.
  • Invis past everything you already cleared and drop straight onto the named. The trash does not need killing twice.
  • It works. I re-clears two named on the way back down without fighting through, and picks up an upgrade I missed the first time.
  • Close the door and con before pulling. I shut myself in behind a door, check the named cannot see me, and open from directly behind.

How I fight It

Dot and walk, the way I do Guk.

  • One dot per mob on the way down. Venom of the Snake, Dark Soul and Boil Blood, applied and left to work while I move.
  • Triple dot when something needs to die faster, which is most named.
  • Dots run 249 a tick, crits around 500, which I only notice partway through and which is doing most of the work.
  • Ignore enemy pets. They die with their master, so casting on them is wasted mana.
  • Turn on attack on hostile cast. Casting then flips melee attack on for you, which I flag as a small setting worth knowing.

Two Doors Worth Knowing

One needs a lever. One does not need anything.

  • The jail door has a lever that does not look like a lever. Zoom in on the wall to find it.
  • One door has no lever on the near side at all, and you get through by walking into it. I am openly unsure that is intended.
  • The jail is unchanged by the revamp. Prisoners, Brother Gruff and the Soulfire NPC are exactly where they were, and nothing spawns in there.
  • There is an underwater tunnel out of the room past the bridge that opens the next section.

The Loot That Matters

Shields, and one breastplate.

  • The Mender drops the best thing in the zone, a shield carrying a mana preservation augment, shaman usable, and I swap to it on the spot.
  • A second shield off another named beats my wooden shield by two points and adds 7 stamina.
  • The Brutish Breastplate is 28 AC and 9 stamina, a straight upgrade over the 23 AC Blackburrow one.
  • Splitpaw Keepsake Ring, 5 dexterity and 3 AC, off the Deviant.
  • Looted Channeler Gloves, 3 intelligence and 5 dexterity.
  • A heretic's ring trades 8 stamina for 90 mana, which I file away rather than equipping.
  • Augments and tomes drop here. Summoning efficiency, reanimation efficiency and an undead-summoning aug for necromancer and shadowknight pets.
  • The old Splitpaw items are untouched and now fall off random trash rather than anything specific.

The Experience Problem

The through-line of the whole video.

  • Guk was paying me about 4 percent a kill at the same level, on easier mobs.
  • Light blues are fractions of a percent and I stop killing them entirely, invising past instead, because the mana is worth more than the experience.
  • I filed an in-game bug report about the yellow-con rate mid-clear, which is as strong a statement as I make about anything.
  • Clearing every named I could find got me 20 to 30 percent of a level. Not one level. Twenty to thirty percent.
  • My conclusion is to not come back unless a specific item pulls me, and the shields are the only candidates.

Context for the numbers: this is the pre-order beta with about a week left before the server came down, on my first loadout with leveling gear and no maxed AAs. I say so, and I expect some viewers to disagree with me about the rates.

What I Am Playing at Launch Instead

Thought out loud partway through the clear.

  • Druid over shaman, purely for early teleports, because the dungeons are scattered and I am tired of running.
  • Warrior as the main, two-handed, because I missed that playstyle.
  • Bard for spell damage and AoE songs, alongside the two-hander and cleave.
  • Shaman probably becomes the level 50 unlock rather than a starting slot.
  • This build is for bossing, not experience. That is my own read on the shaman, shadowknight and necromancer set I am running here.

One open question I raise: whether a two-handed blunt works with cleave, which matters for a nice ratio two-hander I saw linked in Discord.

Splitpaw at a Glance

  1. South from North Karana, or north from Lake Rathetear, to a hole in the wall.
  2. Install the Brewall maps before you go.
  3. Make a solo instance at difficulty 1 so nothing flees, with respawns on.
  4. Label every named on the map as you kill it.
  5. Bring stun reduction, or an enchanter, or expect to be locked out of your own keyboard.
  6. Kill the clerics first.
  7. Keep invis memorised for the run back after a death.
  8. Take the Mender's shield and the Brutish Breastplate.
  9. Do not come here for experience. Guk pays better.

Hello and welcome to uh EverQuest Legends uh pre-order beta. Uh I don’t have a series for this yet. Uh it’s just me playing. Uh but what we’re here we’re outside of Spitfall, one of the dungeons that got revamped today. And uh we’re going to go inside. I just wanted to show where it is because I always get questions on where things are. So if you come in from North Kana, you go south. Literally south. you’re going to hit the hit the hole in the wall here. Or if you come from Lake Wrath tier, uh you just go straight north right now. It it is literally a hole in the wall, [laughter] if you will. So, you just walk in here like so. Uh this is one of the zones that got revamped today. The other zone is um Crushbone. Now, uh we will uh definitely go check those out, uh that zone, but we’re going to come in here first. So, you can see there’s a ton of people here already. Uh, I am currently 41. This is my first load out. I don’t have anything else. I have not finished leveling. Kind of got bored playing because, uh, you know, it’s going to wipe. So, I was just like, why uh why continue? Uh, we’re going to do one uh just because I don’t know how strong these things are and uh I don’t like runners. So, uh let’s do that. Let’s do a respawning and then create the solo instance. There we go. pretty easy. Uh they fixed all those bugs. Uh we should we should be good on buffs right now. [laughter] I buffed I I literally ran from uh the XR starting zone since uh I was in like befallen trying to get a a better weapon on a uh I I think I was leveling a wizard so I could port. [laughter] Oh man. But then I was just like, you know what? There’s no there’s no point. There’s no point continuing that. All right, let’s go ahead and quick buff to get uh quickness and regen. Let’s take a look at the map, right? Uh if you don’t have the Breewall maps, I suggest you download them. Download them. There is a video on my channel on how to do that. But uh the way this zone goes is you pretty much go like this and you can go down here into this lower area. You can go over here to this jail area. Then you can go back here to this other area here and an area here. Um I don’t know what to expect. I don’t even know what level this stuff is. Uh looks like these stuff here to zone in are uh level uh what 20. So we just walk past them. They don’t want they don’t want to fight. I’m not going to fight them. All right. So we got a level 27 right here. Let’s just uh we’re going to throw a venom of the snake on it and just watch him die. All right. Uh, let’s keep going through here. Another green one. Let’s grab that one. And is there any named right? That’s what I’m looking for right now is named. There should be no placeholders in this uh first part right here. This is a rare creature. So, let’s go ahead and get him. And then, let’s see. We got a preserved split paw eye. That was something that already existed. Wolves bane. I’m assuming that’s a trade skill item. It is. So, there we go. All right. So, this Mener, he’s a healer. So, as you can tell, I’m I’m literally just doing one dot on each of these things. So, uh should should uh Oh, these gray ones attack. Let’s kill them. I’m assuming my pet caused them to assist. Just drop them with dots real quick. There we go. And let’s redot this guy because he is posing an issue here. We’ll put dark soul on him just in case. There we go. All right, we got our first item. We got a cap of mending, which is seven strength, seven charisma. Uh, pretty nice. Let’s just loot that. We got a spitball high tunic. That’s an original item. Let’s sell that. Let’s get some rainwater. And a spitball high belt. That’s an original item, too. Did not get upgraded. Just looks like they drop off random trash now. All right. So, where are we at? Right, we’re right here. This is the first named uh actually, can we do this right here? Can I Can I put a marker on my map? Edit map. Add label vendor. All right. Medium. Choose color. Let’s call it red. Let’s do green. Why not? No, that’s not going to show up very well. Yellow. All right. Boom. Mener. All right. So, there we go. Now, we we’ll be able to look at this later on as we go through here. All right. So, I got another one there. These are all unnamed, but let’s kill the green one just because uh like it’s like free experience, right? Like what are we getting? 2% experience. 009% experience. I mean, this is this is just lovely experience. Lovely experience. I feel like I’m in uh Terra, you know, night uh [laughter] Torment of you know, pre pre- nerf, right? Like, oh my god, pre- patch. Uh some stuff here and spitpaw necklace. That’s junk. Just sell that. All right, let’s keep going here. Oh, this guy wants to fight. So, we’ll fight through here. I I I’ve I’ve been pushing for better experience rates. Just Just let it be known. And uh I don’t feel like this experience is fun in any way. Now, these are green, so I’m not assuming that they would be good anyway, but uh see as we get down here. Oh, see what’s this way? Is there something this way? Okay, this goes to a bridge. [snorts and groaning] Green guy rooted me. All right, and we got another tanned. These are quests. I have no idea what the quests are. Uh we’ll, you know, eventually figure that out one day, but doesn’t really matter to me right now with no time left in the uh server, right? There’s one week left before the server goes down. So, um I’m not going to waste my time on things that uh aren’t really necessary. So, these ones are light blue. So, as we get to the bridge, seem to be solo pullable. There’s a third one back there. Let’s grab him, too. And you can see my pets, you know, just chugging along, not having much of a big deal. He’s not really any risk of dying. So, that’s fantastic. There’s another one here. I didn’t dot, but uh, you know, I typ This is typically how I do Guck is I, uh, I just do one dot as I go down, right? Uh, charisma necklace. Like, what am I wearing right now? Wisdom necklace. Yeah. Jump, auto sell. Let’s see here. Auto store. Maybe. Is that a trade skill item? Yeah, it is. All right. So, if we look down, it looks to be there is uh there’s mobs down there, but uh let’s not attack them and cause a train. All right. So, this is looking pretty good so far. We should make sure we have attack on. All right. Where are we at? So, we’ve gone like this right through here. And we’re at the first fork. So, the fork here goes looks like it goes down to this end right here. So, let’s look down there. see what we see. There might be a name or I guess it goes up. So, dot him. We’re going to do dog this guy. I’m surprised there’s no faction related to these guys. And like so, and uh something I found out that might be useful to you. attack on hostile cast, right? So, if I cast Well, uh I don’t have attack on. It’ll turn attack on. Uh definitely a nice little item. Uh preserved eye. That’s junk. We can just auto sell that for now. All right, what do we got here? We got another hole there. Nothing there. All right, you’re dotted. And so the the reason I dot versus just letting the pet fight them is that it will Okay, where do we end up? Oh, okay. We’re this little uh crossway here. I’m stunned or something. He’s a cleric. So there we go. Now we got this little crossway which is right above the zoning. All right. I didn’t know this area even existed. So, what do we got here? We got Okay, so here’s a named So, the de Deviant. All right, Paul Mask. That’s the junk. Let’s sell that. Let’s do you. And back to you. We’ll just whack this guy down. He’s a rogue. So, let’s go ahead and just like turn around right here where he was and let’s edit the map and let’s add a label. We say large yellow and his name was Devant. All right. So, you can kind of see there’s a named there, named here, and then he dropped a dagger of dropping, which uh to me is a pretty weak weapon. All right, let’s just loot that. He probably dropped something else, so we might come back for that. All right, so let’s let’s drop back down here. And then we can just run back through here. Kind of a shortcut, right? Cuz if we go So, there was nothing that way. We went through that door. Now we can go through here. Now, where does this take us? This is another door. Uh, looks like it’s another little sub area. So, let’s go through here. See what we see. I think we came here for this. This is the section we came to for uh soulfire on the other server. Uh, so these are all [snorts] these are all light blue. All right, let’s get these things dotted up. Maybe easier to explore while in viz, but I ain’t about to do that. I mean, this experience is absolutely horrid, but they are light blue, but still I would expect a little bit better. All right, junk out of cell and Oh, good. I’m getting a little bit of platinum back. I bought all the wizard spells and blew all my platinum. So, there’s a null tongue. That’s a quest item. Not sure what that quest would be, but uh you know, we’ll figure it all out eventually. Hopefully, uh it’s actually something useful. [snorts] All right, now we’re up here. This is the jail area. So, we’re going to dot him. And then he is an enchanter. So, oh, lever around here, I think. Right. I’m just not seeing it. Right. Let me zoom in here. Pull lever to open door. All right. So, if I look in here, there it is. Doesn’t look like a lever, but uh All right, we got some prisoners. Prisoners, prisoners, prisoners, brother Gruff, and the Soulfire guy. All right, there’s nothing changed over here. No, Indiana Jones slide didn’t work. All right, go back down here. So that that path nothing new, right? So that’s fine. Not everything has to change, but uh it’s good to document it. Look, I know uh people have asked me asked me before uh to show everything. So we’re doing everything no matter how long it takes. All right. So if we look at the map again. So we’ve gone down this path which takes us here where the deviant spawns. We went down over here where the mener spawns. Nothing changed in this section. So now we can go like this. Look over here. And then uh you know go this way. Go down under here and uh explore more. So, just keep going through here, right? These are all just normal mobs. I mean, I feel like I was getting better better experience in uh Guck so far. Um, unless they uh change that one to Mitchas, but the blues and the light blues and lower gucks seem to give better experience than these ones. I’m taking a lot of damage though, I just noticed. So, I’m going to start doing some life taps cuz I’ve been yapping more than paying attention here. Come on. There we go. All right. So, we are right here. This is the bridge. Let’s make sure we get that guy life. Stupid pet got targeted. Waste of mana. And I think I have nonchalant memorized. Spit paw. Another uh older item. to sell that. Don’t care. There we go. All right. So, if you look down there, there’s some blue items now down there. There’s some guys over there. Don’t see a name. Let’s look down here. Some snakes down there. And it looks there is a like a beach over there. So, we’ll eventually get there, but don’t need to jump down there to fight snakes in the water. All right. Uh, so we have a choice. We can go this way or we can go this way. Now, that’s the real choice here, isn’t it? So, let’s go this way. I don’t know which one the higher level is. Right. So, it says at the end, uh, there’s higher level mobs. So, I guess as we find things that are not light blue, I thought they said this this stuff was going to be like level 40ish, which is uh apparently not what it is, but I mean point4 experience for a light blue. Is Terror of Luckland level experience for a blue? All right. Nas nishkvakola. I don’t know. I’m just making up words now. All right. We got another Rash Mal. Let’s get him. And then we got a biscuit in there. I don’t know. It came from where the biscuit go. He’s dotted. He’s not dotted. I’m just getting like perma stunned by one of these guys and I think I’m getting bags out. Oh my gosh. Which one is it? Wizard. Cleric. All right. Cleric’s the one I’m going to actually No, we going to kill this wizard. Then we want to kill the cleric. Stuns are fun. Stuns are fun. [groaning] [screaming] Oh, you’re can’t even do anything. It’s just like like it’s just such a dumb mechanic. All right, let’s uh let’s throw a heal ourselves because we’re actually being stunned so much I can’t get anything off. There we go. The cool thing is is that that pet is still doing damage while I’m not able to do anything at all. So, it works out pretty well if you ask me. All right, I’m healed. Oh, the pet did the uh healing nerf, too. All right, let us uh let us get some mana. All right, so what where were we at? Right. Like Oh, here we go. We can There’s a named right in this room. Um doesn’t look like any there. So, I’m assuming let’s walk up this way, right? Yeah, there’s a named there. And if we walk over here, I’m surprised there’s not a named up in there. Let’s just go up here and kill this one first. All right, don’t do that. Don’t like wasting mana casting spells on pets. As soon as you kill the master, the pet dies. The pets don’t usually do too much damage, so they’re pretty much ignorable in my book. All right, let’s open the door here. Let’s see what we see. All right, let’s just walk in. What’s his name? Rash something. He’s got such a low aggro range, he’s not even attacking me. There we go. Now he is. Let’s go right here. Here. I want to do his name thing while we are a stupid pet getting in my way. Can’t cast. So, it’s just I’m just hitting buttons here. My pet’s about to die. [snorts] Pet is dead. heal him back up here in just a minute. Let’s get rid of this CL. Damn. Let’s go. Spell damage. Let’s get this guy. Oh my god, something is nuking me down. I just noticed that. Look at that. I don’t have I don’t have leech touch yet. There we go. Is it this guy? Oh my god. I could can’t even All right. Well, we died. [laughter] We died. I couldn’t heal myself fast enough. All right. Uh let me rebuff. I got to reummon my pet and all that stuff. We’ll go back down. All right. So, we are back. What I’m going to do real quick, I’m going to use my three my A’s. I’m going to buy a spell slot since I didn’t have it. And I’m going to put invis here. We’re going to we we’ve already cleared a lot. So, what we’re going to do is we’re going to invis to the names we’ve already cleared and kill them on the way down uh and get back to where we were. Theoretically, this should work. I don’t know, though. So, kind of to, you know, make it a little bit faster getting back to where we were. I also uh you know fully buffed and stuff. So now like here’s the mender like no need to clear all his trash, right? Like we can just skip the straight the names. Throw another dot on him just to be sure. And there we go. We got a cap of mending which we already got. So you can see there six strength, six charisma. Let’s just merge that in. and reather shadows. [laughter] All right. So, we’re going to go to the other named now, which was this way. I’m so confused. Like, if you look up, there is a rock ceiling. [laughter] There’s a rock ceiling. Oh, wait, wait. No, there. Okay. It’s on this side. Okay. Okay. All right. Now, all right. Makes sense. Now, let’s go this way. And we’re going to take this first door that we went through before. Just cheat around here. And then here is the deviant. Okay, we’re going to stand right behind him and we’re going to drop a dot on him a dot on him and a dot on him and then they should all die here momentarily. Right. And this time we got a pit spit paw keepsake ring which is five dexterity which is better than the ring I am currently wearing which is nothing. [laughter] Uh 3 AC also. So let’s go ahead and put that on. Nice. All right. So we killed those two. Uh we skipped this whole jail section we uh discovered nothing spawns in. And we can make our way back to the door. Take this door. All right. So that’s the jail. We don’t want to go there. Kill that. All right. And these are all just the same mobs we were fighting before. All right. Whoa. That guy see me. No. All right. We’re going to start with this one and try to clear out some of these bombs. Now, the assist range seems pretty low on some of these things, so that’s good. Now, I was being kind of lazy. I I went in there with a little bit of low mana, right? I wasn’t I didn’t I don’t think I went in there with full mana. What we’re going to do is we’re going to actually try and uh we’re going to triple dot some of these things just so they die uh a little bit faster. All right, we’re going to reinvant if you upgrade it. All right, we can probably ignore this guy. We’re going to shut the door. We’re going to con him. He can’t see us. So, perfect. We’re going to stand right behind him. Uh, I’m going to drop Venom of the Snake, Dark Soul, and Boil Blood, which is my Well, got slow trying to remember where where things are right on my UI. All right, so we got him pretty much dotted up. He should die. And we got this guy dotted up and this guy dotted up. So, we’re just going to throw some more here. Let’s get this guy actually dotted up. There we go. Okay, so we got some white gloves of some sort. Let’s look at those here in just a second. I’m going to put his name on the map, too. I think that’s what I was trying to do. I was trying to be like all all cocky thinking I could do it, but I could not. All right. Edit map. Add a label. Choose a color. We’re going to go yellow. Accept or do large. And his name is Roash Val Lor. All right. Pop him right there. There we go. And then these gloves are looted channeler gloves. Three intelligence, five dexterity. Not too bad. Let’s loot those and some tan spit paw stuff. All right, perfect. One down. Now, [laughter] uh let’s look here. These all look to be the normal ganolles. Uh yeah, those are all normal. So, we can skip that path. We can go down to this path here. Can I not cast? There we go. Now, doing this with invis is probably just going to be a smarter move for us since these are light blue. They’re not even worth honestly killing to me. Like that’s how bad it feels to fight a light blue. All right, what we got here? We got Nish Valour Mashak. He can’t see us. What do we got in here? We got one. We got a We got a lot of mobs in this room, so this is going to be a little bit harder. He’s a cleric, too. Um definitely uh going to be a challenge. So, all right, we got that. Let’s go ahead and uh I don’t have I don’t have Yeah, I don’t have anything that would work for uh [laughter] just splitting this. FI faint death’s not going to work. All right. One everything dotted up here. All right. And we’ll target this guy. We’re just going to like tap him down. just to get a little health back. And then we’re going to do uh boil blood actually land it. There we got an AA point. Nice. And just to make sure he doesn’t heal himself up and looks like we did not I cannot tap target this guy. I don’t know why it’s not going to him. All right, we got a shield. So, let’s take a look at that here in just a second after I kill this guy. And he spawned like right here, like right where he rooted me. So, god, he’s got a long ass name. All right. Edit. Add label. And then his name was Nish Val to bash K. Right. Large. Choose color yellow. Accept. There we go. And seven stamina. Seven. [laughter] Holy gosh. All right, let’s loot that real quick because I think that’s another upgrade for me. I’m currently using a wooden shield plus six. Uh, and this is a nice little upgrade. So, let’s pop that on. There we go. Nice. Look at that. It’s only plus two, but it is better than this one. So, that is fantastic. Nice little upgrade. What does it look like here? Oh, it’s got a nice little uh shield. I don’t think I’ve ever seen. Let’s take a screenshot of that. All right. Now, that’s nice little upgrade. So, what does that mean? We’ve cleared this section. Now, we need to go down into this section. That’s stupid. Didn’t I go the right way? All right. So, we need to go straight through this door. And then we can follow this path. All right. Go through there. We got some ganoles. What are you guys doing? You’re doing nothing in here. Just standing around boppinging about. All right. What do we got here? We got a door with a single dude. It’s not even named. I love this little tracking like showy cue looking thing we got going on here so we can kind of uh kind of figure it out a little easier. All right. So, all right. There’s a lever here. Maybe I can’t click this door. Can I walk through the door? [laughter] Oh, wait, wait, wait. There it is. [laughter] Okay. I don’t know if that’s intended, but I don’t see a lever on this side. So, yeah, if you walk into the door, you can walk through it. Now, these ones are blue. So, let’s see what kind of experience we’re getting from a blue. >> [cheering] [screaming] >> So we are getting what? 1.5. All right. Perfect. Yeah, perfect experience. Oh man. All right. Again, not worth killing any of these things probably since it just wastes mana getting to the main. Let’s go check over here. That That was a previous name, so that might be something here. All right, we got nothing there. We might have to go in the water. All right, I’m going to get some healing off this guy here. >> Now, I’ve been doing dots this whole time, not looking at dots, but you can see here how much dot damage my dots are doing. 249 per tick with crits being, you know, 500ish. So, I mean, it’s pretty pretty strong and it’s kind of the the way this build works. Now, I am going to do a different build on uh release because I’ve come to the conclusion I really want to have teleports really early with all these dungeons being all around. So, I’m going to be doing a druid instead of a shaman, but I am going to do a main as a as a warrior because I really missed the warrior uh warrior play that I was doing. I really like that a lot. All right, we got some snakes. got some hiding ganolles over here that are all just hiding ganolles. So, they might have a placeholder there, but none of this uh none of this feels like it’s worth clearing to me, right? Like there might be something there, but uh I’m not seeing it right now. Let’s just say that. All right. So, we’re in this room here, which, you know, looks to be, you know, just a room, right? But I believe there’s an underwater tunnel. We go right. Where’s it at? Here. Go right here. There we go. Underwater tunnel, which will take us into this room. All right. We got a ganole there. A a yellow canol. All right, we got some yellow ones. Let’s see how good experience a yellow is. I mean, the target ring looks It’s like they did something to the target ring for sure. There we go. All right. 8% experience for yellow. All right. I’m going to bug report this cuz this this feels terrible. Let me see. Yep. Ah, feels terrible uh to me. I mean, you maybe like getting terrible experience for uh killing uh killing these things, but I don’t. All right, looks like we got a named in here. All right, we got an apprentice, Ishiva Moss. So, this is going to be this is going to be be a dick of a fight, I’ll tell you that. All right, [laughter] so we’re going to start over here. He’s a necromancer. Uh, let’s see what everybody else is real quick. All right, he is a necromancer chanter or Oh man, this will be easy. All right, I’m going toh start with this guy. Dot him up. Hopefully we can get two dots on him. And then we’re going to switch to the next one and then switch to the next one and switch. No, that’s the same one we already did. All right, we’re switching. [laughter] There we go. This one here. I’m going to drink some drain spirits because I am taking way more damage than I was expecting. Look at that. I feel like I just got bigger or something. I don’t know what the hell just happened. There we go. We killed that one. Spell high tunic. I cannot cast at all. Oh, I’m getting I’m getting absolutely choked here. Yeah. Now, do I have a I don’t have a combat one, right? Oh, they were incinerating bones me for 400. All right. So, that’s [snorts] plus all the dot damage because they stacked me with dots. and a little bit of a melee thing, right? All right, so that’s how far we got. Now, the cool thing is is I can just take a cut and run back down there once I buff. All right, I fought my way back down. Now, the mender dropped this item here. Now, look at this item. This is a This is a sexy, sweet item. Uh now uh if you look at it really close, you can see it’s mana preservation too on a shield. Uh this one here cuz shaman usable too. So I can take it out of this one. And u actually like it’s look at this. This is this is this is a cho choice right here. I could use either shield and they’re both good. Like the wisdom one’s going to give me more mana. So uh we’re going to switch shields real quick. uh instead of taking the AUG out. I don’t really need dexterity. My melee is not that great. But the uh the guy who dropped the white gloves dropped this tome here, summoning efficiency, which is mana reduction on summoning uh of u stuff. So that’s definitely uh something there. Can I Is there a focus tab? Oh, there is a focus for the primary. So you can put that into your weapon, too, theoretically. All right. Now, we’re going to try this pull again. Um, I tr I truly don’t know how I’m going to survive this, but uh uh we’re going to do it. [laughter] All right. So, um I’ll start this with a dot. Start this one with a dot dot. And then we’re just going to life tap the named so target him. But uh we’re getting interrupted here. Like look at this. I can’t even cast cuz I don’t have uh any of the stun reduction things yet. So definitely hard. Uh and we’re and we’re casting fast, right? Like we might actually kill something here, but I don’t think we’re going to be able to. That’s going to lower the damage we’re taking. That’s good. Oh, we killed the name. All right, perfect. So, we got an apprentice heretics ring. Uh, we’ll see what that is here in a second. We actually did it. We got some crit drain souls. So, uh, or drain spirits. So, that’s definitely uh helping us there cast. Uh, but we got 08.8.16. So, it still feels terrible experience to me, but uh you know, whatever. Apparently, people don’t agree. Add label large. Choose color like that. And we’re going to call this guy printiva boss. There we go. Now, uh I did go back through and kill this guy. And this guy is a placeholder. So, I’m assuming there’s placeholders up here, too. So, uh definitely something. Now, this ring, negative, uh eight stamina, but 90 mana. Uh interesting item there. Maybe worth uh thinking about later on, but uh not on my to-do list. Let’s put that there. And I don’t remember who dropped that, but uh come on. [laughter] All right. Now, where are we at here? Uh let’s go up here. There was a named up there that I saw. So, if we go like this. So, you see these guys are just common mobs, right? Nothing fancy. There’s that named right there. It was a 45 necromancer with one guard. So, we’re going to stand right behind him. Venom snake. I’m going to try to get slow off on this one. And blood boil. [laughter] Did Did none of my dots land on them or did they all get interrupted? There we go. Guessing they were interrupted. And this guy’s a cleric, so we’re going to double dot him, too, just because the cleric mobs are uh annoying. Obviously, he just stunned me, so I can’t can’t even do anything. Uh there, but let’s tap. cuz look at all the we got two dots on us plus recruit. So can’t really do much about that. But if we can kill this uh cleric, this will become easier cuz he’s casting super heal and just chain stunning us. In all honesty, it’s it’s glorious. I feel like an enchanter would be a good combo for this zone because you’d be able to uh ite me everything and uh keep them stunned. Oh, there we go. Jeez. All right. This guy has no dots on him, so let’s fix that. And there we go. All right. used all my mana. [laughter] All my mana on a level 45 cleric which only gave me 1.6% experience. Oh, you’ll you’ll you’ll notice I’m going to be complaining about experience probably for uh a good while. There we go. All right. So, we got a robe of the uh ishiva, which is uh I think the same item it’s always been. I don’t think that’s been updated at all. Reanimation reanimation uh efficiency, which is u I believe necropots. And then we got the brain, which I don’t remember what that’s for, but we’ll leave it right now. Uh this one, undead spells, summoning undead. So, this is for necromancer and shadow knight pets. So, kind of nice. Uh, you know, it’s a chest augmentation, which would require me to wear a chest that a pure caster can wear, which probably not going to do, right? So, we should name this room right quick before we move. Uh, edit map. Totally forgot what we’re doing. Uh, large color yellow. And this name was the Shiva. All right, there we go. So, we can kind of see where those guys are now. Now, let’s get out of here cuz I see there might be a name that like spawns up here, but uh I’m not going to sit around kill placeholders. Honestly, if I want to do that, I’ll go to plan eight. Uh this experience is terrible, so it’s not worth farming in my opinion. Uh but uh you might have a different opinion. Now, we want to go down here. I I invertly ran down this way and ran into this area of the zone, which looked a little different than what we’d been to before. Uh so, let’s check this out down here. Now, we look over here. Just some uh just average null down here. Nothing too fancy there. This is the bridge at the entrance that you can drop down to. And then we get some blues down here. So, let’s see. We got that guy. These are all up here. All right. We got a little second layer up here. What’s down here before we go up there? Oh, we got a scribe. All right. Con him. He’s rare. Let’s kill him. He’s an enchanter, so he’s obviously going to stun the crap out of us. There we go. And then we’ll just melee this guy down. Perfect. So, not too bad. Where are we at? We ended up in this room right here. So, A and he’s got a weird name. So teeth ball scribe. The teeth ball scribe. And he dropped a journal of greater enchantment. All right. So let’s put him on my map right here. Add label large a and his name is a l t of all scribe. There we go. And then this is a quest item. It’s not even not even uh not even a real item. Okay, so we got that one. Um, we did skip this one. Ro. So, one of these is probably a placeholder, right? Uh, let’s kill them both cuz we’re going to be here for a few minutes in this section. So, might as well get what we can, you know. All right, not too bad. 6% experience. Lovely. All right, so we can come out here and go back around this corner. And there was stairs up, which gives these two and two doors, right? Um, let’s go straight. I’m assuming all one of these is a placeholder. I’m going to guess this one. All dotted up. [screaming] Some dot didn’t land on that guy. There we go. Perfect. All right. Pets Pet’s doing good. I’ve only lost him once, although when I died. Uh, so as you can see, right, like this is this is like un untweaked. This was this is like my leveling gear, right? This is not uh anything fancy uh like I had in the uh pre-order beta where I mean not the pre-order beta, the uh the private beta where you know I’d been going through it a few times and I already maxed everything out. So definitely a little bit more challenging. I feel like enchanter is the is the go-to class for this zone because of uh the ability to crowd control a lot easier. Uh now some classes like have lol and stuff like that. So those are going to be really good here too. pets about the time I don’t feel like healing her because it like I got the implied target thing on, right? And that thing is like kind of annoying because it will uh it doesn’t do what I’m I want it to do when it when I want it to do it. And I really wish I really wish there was a different way for them to do it. All right. So, we cleared all that and didn’t find any named. So, let’s uh pop out of here. Go back down here. And that’s everything over there. Let’s go back this way. So, this is the drop down. And then there’s nothing over there. So, we can go back up this way. around here. Go up here. Click the lever on the wall to open the door. Otherwise, you got to jump into the uh door from the other side. And we’re almost done with the zone. Like, in all honesty, we’re almost done. Now, I’m not wasting my time killing all this lay blue stuff because, as you saw, the experience is just lackluster in every possible way, and I’m I value my time. So, all right. Junk, junk. Some of these might be Oh, yeah. The brute looks like he is named. All right, let’s stand up here. Oh, look at he’s got an axe in his hand. Let’s see if he drops it. He’s got a cleric buddy right here. So, we’re going to dot this cleric up with three dots if we can land them. Jeez, I can’t even turn right. Something to be said about being an ogre from the start. I’ll tell you that right now. [screaming and laughter] But, uh, Xar is Xar is where I’m going. I have to use those experience potions to double my AAS. Max out stun like immediately. I think that’s probably like what everybody’s going to do. There we go. All right, we got a breastplate. Brutish breastplate. All right, 28 AC, nine stamina. uh compared to my black burrow which is 23 AC like this is a direct upgrade over the black burrow and plus nine stamina. All right, let’s get this guy on the map real quick and then uh go see what else there is. Add label a tesh valute go. We’re going to do large yellow. There we go. And loot that. So, this is direct upgrade over the uh black burrow breastplate. Perfect. Nine stamina. Gives us a little bit more hit points. Right now, I’m guessing his other item is an axe since he was holding a axe that does not find steel. So, that’ll be uh interesting to find out. All right, we can go in here. This is the last room. All right. So, we got an executioner. It was a rare fighting a another rare. What the [\h__\h] [laughter] This is hilarious. All right, I’m going to dot this guy. I mean, he’s not attacking me. Oh, I lost that one. All right. Let’s get a curse on him. I was hoping I’d be able to kill that guy fast enough. All right, we got a nice great axe. I can’t use it. But uh 0.5 ratio at plus one. That is going to be a that is going to be nice. All right. What do we got here? We got that guy. What is this guy? He is a normal mob. Normal mob. Normal mob. All right. Got a wizard. This is a cleric. That one’s a wizard. Oh my gosh. Never mind. But 8% experience for a yellow is feeling kind of low. As you can see, I haven’t even come close to uh leveling. I think I got like 20% maybe 30% of a level. Clearing every single named in the dungeon that we found plus everything that we fought. I mean feels underwhelming. Now there might be some stuff up here we go check out [screaming] as we work our way through here. Now, uh, I’ve hinted at it and I said I’m going to play a warrior. I’m going to try to do a two-handed warrior, right? And so, I haven’t done that yet. I haven’t done any the two-handed warrior stuff. So, that is going to be kind of like the the the concept I’m going for with the bard and the druid. So, you know, bard is going to be my my spell damage class. Warrior is going to be my tank AOE damage class, and then druid is going to be my healer/porting uh ritual thing that I’m, you know, going to pick up, right? And I think it’s going to be pretty fun. Now, shaman, like shaman start is absolutely uh just fun, right? like what I did with this one. Uh, and we’ll probably unlock Shaman as our unlock on the uh in the uh at level 50. But I feel like this build is a bossing build. It’s not a experience build and I think warriors warrior bard is more getting experience in doing it that way. I feel so uh I am working on uh a video on uh what I what I plan to do like I’m going to show my whole path of what where I’m going to go. Um this new zone kind of changes it up a little bit since it does have uh some two-handers in here it looks like that are pretty nice. [snorts] I saw I linked a few that I saw on uh Discord. There was like a.7 two-handed blunt but I don’t think a two-anded blunt can be used with cleave. So, it’s uh less less ideal for me, but uh definitely uh going to see how this goes. But the concept is like Bard AoE songs, bard melody, single target along with the uh the cleave and the bash cuz we’ll need to get two-handed bash. And it’s it should be a fun little little experiment. I haven’t done that yet. And so that’s to me sounds like it might be fun. These are all like terrible terrible mobs, right? Okay. All right. Let’s look here. Is there a named in there? Guard. Guard. Guard. Guard. I feel like they’re all placeholders, right? Let’s gather shadows and go inside need mana anyway. All right. So, those Oh, there’s a guy right there. Tosh Vald Mac. All right. All right. We got a guy. H I feel like that whole room is going to aggro on me. at the same time. I’m gonna get some mana before we do this recovery. Well, so we don’t have to go into recovery, right? So, it says 58 mana regen, right? Uh, this was last patch. They should have made it so even though if it doesn’t show there, which I doubt it actually works. 1,500 mana per tick. guessing it’s working. I just wish it would show that you’re getting your, you know, the double mana regen. It’d make it a little bit cooler in my opinion. But, uh, let’s see if there’s anything we can buy to increase our [laughter] our effectiveness right now. Combat fury, natural durability. None of these are going to help me right now the way I need it. So, let’s take a look at this. These are all yellow. So, what do we got here? We got a wizard, a necromancer, a magician, and a warrior. All walk into a bar and say, “Get screwed.” All right. So, that seems fine. All right. that warriors. I mean that uh that guy’s dying real quick. So I must have got a crit or something. I don’t know. Go another AA. Oh yeah, these necromancers, they cast this huge fire nuke on you, right? That’s what killed us before. All right. So, that gave us another aa dead messa mesmerization. Oh, yeah. That thing that thing was bugged before and uh when you use it, it resets their uh health, so [laughter] it wasn’t that useful to me. All right, he’s a warrior, so we just need to uh get some kills. Maybe I’m going to throw a slow on him. He’s 43, so he’s one of the higher level mobs here. Tesh Val Deval Nuck. There we go. [screaming] Thick amber temporary healing potion. What kind of crap is that? All right. Uh, let’s put him on the map here. Large. Choose color yellow. And then Tesh Ball. inbox. Okay, there we go. And sell that. We’ll just go ahead and loot. That might be useful. Temporary makes it less useful in my opinion. Oh, wait, wait, son of a [\h__\h] I didn’t want to fight these guys, but here we go. blood. Just don’t triple dot these guys to make [laughter] this go slightly faster. Now, um I think that’s it. I think that’s like everything we’ve done. We can go back into this council of judgment here where that executioner was. It’s probably going to repop here in a second, but I don’t think there’s much else to see here, right? There might be a named or two we didn’t see because they just weren’t up. Uh but for the most part, that’s that’s Spitpaw uh revamp. Let’s go out here. Yeah, there’s the executioner again. So, uh could just sit here and swack him, I guess. Yeah, can’t steal that kill. I think you’d have to kill him or engage him beforehand. We didn’t even get loot for this guy. I guess uh we didn’t do enough damage to him. I mean, that’s kind of lame, but uh whatever. All right, this is probably a good spot to uh take the screenshot and say our goodbyes. Now, that’s Spitpaw. We’re going to do Crush Bone. Obviously, it’s going to take me a little bit of time to get there because uh I can’t port. So, I got to go back to Freeport and run all the way through uh there. There might be a few things I might hang out here for, but uh experience-wise, I am uh utterly disappointed. There’s just such low experience rates here that I would probably not come here in all honesty, unless unless there’s an item here that is super good. Like these shields would be the only reason I’d come and get get one of these if my build was a shield build. Maybe the two-hander or something like that. Once uh once we can see all the items that drop where it might not be worth coming here over the befallen one, right? I don’t know the stats, but uh you know that’s just my opinion. You might be like, “Oh, 1% experience. That turns me on. That’s where I want to be.” You know, right? This stuff is harder than uh anything I’ve fought at this level so far. Uh Guck is definitely better experience-wise. in my opinion from the last I saw. But, you know, it definitely could be because I was getting like 4% gawk, right? A kill. Uh I I was going to go off to Soul B, but I decided to level a wizard, but now it’s it’s pretty much the end, so I haven’t really thought about it too much, but uh you know, let me know your opinion if you’ve gone through the dungeon and had some experience here. Is there some items I missed, some names I missed? Let me know. And uh yeah, so uh again uh thank you very much for watching and please have a fantastic Okay.
