Help gaining exp for a druid

Remove all ads!

Im coming to a loose end.

My female shapeshifter druid is almost out of the Drow quest bit. Ive looked at her exp, and I estimate that I will never get enough experience to get up another level before I end the game.

I have completed the main quests, such as the Windspear hills, the Shade ruins and the trademeet animal problem. Several smaller quests, ones of which are too small to mention, have also been completed.

I haven't killed the Shadow dragon or the Red dragon, however you spell his name, I forget.

I just seem to feel that I'll get my butt whooped by either dragon, and that even then, the exp won't be enough.

I simply refuse to cheat in this matter. Ive been using Shadowkeeper far too often to my liking with other games, no matter how small the alteration.

Can anyone think of a exp heavy quest which my party, cosisting of
My Druid, lvl14
Minsc, lvl16
Anomen, lvl17 not including his fighter lvls
Jahiera, lvl13 and 12, I forget which is which
Jan, lvl14 and lvl15
Imoen, lvl14 or 15, I forget which

Any suggestions?

 

You don't mention your stronghold - have you claimed it yet? You're high enough.

 

And go whoop those dragons, you should be able to wipe the floor with them at your levels. There is also quite a bit left in the game after you exit the underdark and plenty of xp but keep in mind that druids werent supposed to go higher than 14 in un-ToB SoA.

 

If you're 14th level, that's as high as you can go in SoA unless you have ToB installed. Since this is posted in the ToB forum, I'm presuming you have that installed. There is a HUGE gap in experience between 14th & 15th level (1.5M, if I remember; 15th level is 3M experience points). Why, exactly, I've never understood. Once you do get to 15th level, though, the druid gains a lot!

 

If you're still in the underdark, have you killed all the beholders/mind flayers/kuo toa?

And once you're out, Bodhi's worth a bundle. And if you take Yoshi's heart to Ilmater, I think that's worth something like 200k.

And kill those dragons.

Edit: Leveling up takes a really long time when you're dividing all your points by 6. Drop Jaheira.

The huge gap in experience to get to lvl 15 for a druid is because in PnP rules there was supposed to be only one lvl 15 druid in the entire campaign world, so it should be fairly difficult to reach that level.

 

Yeah, I'm familiar with the exp gap in the p'n'p version of AD&D, its simply signifying that the druid is ascending to the level rivalling a Archdruid.

Anyone know what lvl you have to be to continue the Druid stronghold? It reads in my journal that they will tell me when im ready.

 

Have you already become the Great Druid? If so, then that's as far as you can go. If you haven't, it's level 14. Try talking to them again and see if you can challenge.
