Druid at 24 needs adviceFollow

If you're tired of PC I'd say head to the highkeep basement, at your level you make a decent healer or nuker...the good thing about your class is you can actually solo till you find a group.

Try HighKeep Basement, Sol A and Unrest, and LDoN until 34. Then learn how to quad in Iceclad, it's a very important skill for a druid. http://www.rpgexpert.com/992.html

Echo Caverns on the low side

lol - was just a joke all. funny thing is that my main is a 65 druid with 280 aa's (ya - i've enjoyed some time playing that char). i will say that my 56 bard is a bit more fun for me to play now though. they ability to mezz, charm, mellee, slow, haste, kite, etc makes bards by FAR the most versitile class (and imo the most fun) in EQ. there's also not near as many bards floating around. may be easier to get a group that way. everyone and their brother playes a druid. -)

the above advice is very good. as a druid though, take your time and explore. the ability to sow yourself and then gate out if things get hairy lets you expererience everywhere. i think DSP is your best xp for the next 10 lvl's imho.

GOOD LUCK!

Gargamelot, for hunting in DSP there is a wide range of levels..
If you look at the map of DSP: http://www.eqatlas.com/luclin/dawnshroudpeaksmap.html

The zone gets harder going from left to right... so at your level you should be hunting on the West side of the zone near the Sanctus Seru Zone. at that point you will be fighting Lightcrawlers, and small zelnaks.. FYI, Lightcrawlers can blind you on occasion when you are fighting (melee) with them. Root rot or kite em around is the best bet.

Good hunting

well said! boy those aoe groups are fun. mines in ssra as well as the coirnav event in PoW come to mind. nothing like scrolling up and seeing 5-10 of your own crits mixed amoungst your other nukes. of course - sometimes i'm doing the scrolling from my bind point - but - fun none the less!

again - i don't want to talk you out of playing your druid garg. my personal experience is that druids and bards ability to solo is fairly equal. where bards shine above druids is in groups (especially before level 58 when you will get your CH). i'm sure many of you will disagree with me. it all comes down to what you enjoy and your play style. i just love the ability to go from puller to slower to MA to CC and back again. all depending on the group makeup and unexpected circumstances. bards aren't the best at anything - but they have their hands in more cookie jars than other classes (hehe - yup - sounds a lot like druids, i know).

and not to totally derail this thread - i started grouping my druid near the NL entrance at about your level. as you progress in lvl's just seek out the more difficult mobs. you will eventually move to camping at the other zone entrances in DSP (very nice to have a zone out close if things go bad!). there is a cave which you can get xp at up to mid 40's at least (maybe as high as 50 - i forget). then - at lvl 50 or so - head to Umbral Plains and you will be able get some Elysian armor. fun place to duo/group with other druids doing the same thing. but - i'm getting ahead of myself! with all the expansions out there now - make sure you explore as many as you can. regardless of your class - exploring is always fun!
