The Hole rocks!!!Follow

Ding level 50 Chanter!!

Soloing and grouping in The Hole absolutely rocks! Of course, I don't make it that far into it since most of the time the groups are guild powerleveling some new alts, but I did get a chance to venture a bit farther into the zone last night.

There was a group pulling elementals to a safe spot and they had no interest in having me join them so I took advantage of a fairly mob free area and explored.

Got a bit excited when I saw the huge beasts walking around in a pit beneath an elevated castle so I did what any good enchanter would do.

1.) cast tash on Mob

2.) Run like hell back to zone line praying that the elementals I had previously done away with had not re-popped.

3.) Turn around and wait till mob gets in range and cast slow.

4.) Waiting....

5.) waiting....

6.) Then all of a sudden I see brief movement and the giant is now on top of me!!! Good old graphic hitches... I run and let pet tank. Fight is going well. I am slowing, Dotting, and Nuking when I know I won't get aggro.

7.) Then I experienced something new! I was standing far away and the next thing I knew was being beaten on by the giant, fat monster. I always wondered what the term "summoned" was and now I know!

Anyways, long story short, the mob dropped and looted some coin. Nothing special but was definately worth the experience!

It's fun exploring and learning new things. Now just wait until a mob blinds you.

I like the hole, there's a lot in there. It goes pretty deep and there is danger lurking around every turn. It's a maze to get around. Levitation and SoW doesn't work. If you fall down in that pit with the monsters it's hard to get out if you don't know the way. The hole also has some epic mobs and npcs in there; Chanter, Ranger, Shaman, as far as I know.

I go there with my monk in the 40's. It's a nice zone and right now it's a hotspot, but even before the xp was pretty good.

The Hole has always been on my list to level new toons. After around level 52 The hole starts getting a bit slow from there I usually move on to Chardok B. Gotta love mobs that are willing to stand and fight to the death. BTW a day or 2 in the Mines of Nurga will get enough faction hits and Skins/Salts to get your Chardok faction to a safe level to walk down to Chardok B. Also Chardok B is a current hotspot also.

The Hole is great xp until level 60 and beyond. I still get good solo AA xp there at level 70.

The thing about the Hole is, once you think you have moved deep into the zone, there is more...It is simply a huge place. The truly deep mobs are still dark blue at level 70.
