Quick question about Geonids

[Dolaan]

I an working my way thru the shawls myself and was wondering if the geonids are possible to solo for a 56 SK?? I can get friends but I like to leave them out of tedious farming, especially since I will need them enough already for sirens and other parts that seem un soloable at least for now for me.

thx for advice

Probably, but many were blue/light blue @ 61 for me. Definately grabbing Aego/Virtue and KEI would definately help!

The question is more of, can you solo spiders in velks?

These seemed to be somewhat harder than Velketor spiders...these have somewhere between 8-10K HP I believe...and they do like getting hasted/sow from the shaman that spawn in there.

But to be safe, I'd grab a friendly druid or cleric for this.....

Just a little advice.

If you do fight them, be sure to keep your faction up. Every time you go there, stop at Thurgadin first to run the little quest for the crystal to bring with you. Each trip with the crystal fixes faction for at least ten geonid kills... actually I suspect more like twenty.

If you aren't KOS to the geonids, you can easily find places to get solo pulls, and you can go in after a patch when there are plenty of shimmering geonids up, not just normal ones.

I solo'd lots of them as a 58 or 59 enchanter. I imagine you could do it too if you can get single pulls.

Great info

Thx for the info and I can solo the spiders in Velks easy but I usually fear kite them, but if necessary I can straight up kill them with taps. I am not sure about the amount of room I have to kill with, do I have room to fear kite. Also can anyone link me to info about the geonid faction quest?? I am not KOS to them but real close to them, because I used to kill the ones in CC.

Well, if you can invis yourself, forget about the faction. I did. I just invised into one of the corridor junctions, where no wanderers come through, and could easily single pull mobs to me to kill (no harmony required) at level 60. Found a few nice spots with 6-7 spawn points nearby, and just rotated through those spots. Spawn time is about 20 minutes.

The non-shamans are trivial, and the shamans are trivial at 60 if you buff up your resists. Wearing my raid gear, about 1 spell in 50-70 actually stuck on me.

I'd place their HPs at 7-8kHP.

PS - RE: fear kiting. Probably not when you first clear the spawns, but once they're broken and staggered, probably yes.

The faction quest I have used is the first part of the Phenocryst focus quest (also gives you Dain faction).
