Not sure if who knows this or not, but there is pet that spawns that you can
kill over and over and over again. The respawn time on this pet is roughly
7 seconds. It's level 21-25, doesn't run, has around 500 hp's, and is
currently camped by groups for hours on end, for the above reasons. It's a
level 29 enchanter animation. I want to know if this is an exploit in a
pathing bug, or what exactly. It's not exactly safe zone camping because
you take damage and also run the risk of dying. Plus you run the risk of
pulling the master, which is level 31 enchanter...Basically you can gain
levels 22-30 in about 15 hours..I've heard mixed results from GM's
(suprise!) stating that YES it's a bug and we'll ban, and the same amount
saying "No as long as your taking damage then you're not using a bug"....

Kinda sounds like a bug to me...I know the GM's are aware of it because the
spawn has been perma killed on most servers...

I saw a bunch of people doing this a couple days ago, and had no clue what the
reason was. Is it still available? Seems kind of boring, but going from
22-30 in 15 hours would be a godsend.

We, I guess here comes the age old debate. Do I just sit here and do nothing
very fun, but get good xp (or loot in some cases), or do I wander around
having fun?

I might lean towards doing the darned camp. 15 hours is nothing. It's finals
week and I'm graduating. D stands for diploma. The sooner I get my wolf, the
better.

Is it reasonable for a level 20 shaman to join a pet bashin group? Anyone
going to be on brell in a couple hours that wants to join me?

While we are talking about bugs, how about this one.

In Innothue Swamp, near the Guk entrance, you can train the entire
swamp of froggies to the entrance and once you get so far they all make
a hard left turn, ignore you, and head over the hill above Guk
whereupon messages of 'Frogglok fisherman slashes himself for 3200
points of damage' can be seen. I watched someone do this repeatedly one
night over and over.

Not a big bug but sure seems odd.

I imagine it would be called an exploit by Verant. Expect it to be taken
out with this patch today. On some servers, I understand, it was taken out
already, but not on the Tribunal. It is camped 24/7. The respawn time is
like 17secs. The zone, while seemingly pretty dangerous, isnt that bad. If
you med IN the gypsy camp, you are safe, as the cyclops' who frequent the
area dont wander over into the camp unless trained. Also, as long as you
make sure you dont hit the pet until it is clear of tents, Cynthia wont
come.

I have found this spot to be impractical though, as I am not a druid, and
cant compete with all of them for the kill. I heard it is good for xp up
through 31 though.
