a good T5 harvesting spot?Follow

I am looking for a good place to harvest in T5. I don't need for you to give me a set of coordinates just a rough idea of where your favorite place is...

So far in tier 5, (lvl 44), I am unimpressed by the zones I have been hunting in. Feerott is ho-hum and Rivervale has way too much heroic aggro wandering around for my comfort zone... Haven't tried Everfrost yet... maybe that's the place to be...

What do y'all think?

Feerott is the safest place for me. Everfrost and the lavastorm?? both have too many aggro mobs where the harvest point spawn.

I actually did all my harvesting in Rivervale when I was about your level. It's the only T5 harvesting zone that has an area where the MoB's are non-aggro. You do have to keep your eye on the heroic aggro types and know where they are, but I found it doable.

I didn't like Feerott, too much foliage hiding the nodes and critters.

I also bought a lot of my resources off the broker because when I was in T5 DoF wasn't out yet and lots of nice people looking for rares put their common harvests on the market for coppers. Thay may have changed now that many will have moved on to looking for T6 stuff.

Generally on the eastern side of the river, around the large round Tavern building heading over toward the tree-women on the ridges. Lots of nodes pop around the dryads, not too many right by the inn. Going towards them, the huge bees and the dryads on the first ridge are non-aggro. (Unless maybe you killed some of them in some darker past, then maybe not.) The corrupted dryads over the second ridge are heroic aggro, but you can harvest near them if you're careful.

Nodes also pop around the roads in the area, with the grassy areas on top of stone walls. You can harvest many of them from on the road and not get attention from the scorpion rats that congregate there. There's also a little house with solo con rats and wolves around it where quite a few nodes pop.

There's a rare spawn Epic X2 Dire Wolf that wanders around the area. I saw him twice, the first time he 2-hit me to death.

Unlike in Feerott the halflings keep the grass trimmed; so you can see nodes and monsters from a long way off.

Finally, do NOT cross the river. Here be monsters. (Everywhere.)

LS is doable. Past the tunnel straight up to the lavafall, avoiding the group of aggro goblins near the top by the rock, is all aggro free.

Any node is easy to find in your field of view with the TAB key.
