Soloing Behemoths ... the legit way
Started the night bored and thought I should probably use up these runes I have laying around in my depot. I took a bp of stone shower (earth dmg area rune) and wanted to try its effectiveness against cycopolis. I would gather as many of the cycs as i could and use stone shower. It killed them pretty fast, but truthfully, it wasn't worth doing. The experience was fair at best, and the loot was ... well, it was cyc loot. I got to the bottom of the cycopolis and realized I had 2/3 a bp of icicles on me, and I had been planning to try my behemoth running strategy here in the next 5-10 levels. I thought, why not try now? So, I went down into the normal south behemoth stairs, used haste and put a wild growth as a 4-square extension for which I would run them. Because doing it with mana shield is a waste and hardly soloing, I of course met the challenge with my 88 Elder Druid. I lured the Behemoth and put down the wild growth, and ran it around while shooting icicles. Even with my low magic level (62), the behemoth fell with ease. First behemoth loot was 1 assassin star and 1 behemoth fang. Next 3 behemoths were done the same way with a little more trouble, but regardless, it was definitely an adventure and a rush. I did have to reapply the wild growth every behemoth midfight, which is a little tricky, but I'm sure more levels and better equipment will make that hunting style extremely efficient. That's another great solo spot to add to my arsenal!
