Hmm, i should give nihlahtak run a try. Been skipping him since hatred.

I always thought he dropped signet of exp / gold only.

Hes a bit of a ball bag and his zone kind of sucks for melee, but he drops a LOT of loot even on Terror.

I see, ill do some Nihlathak then i guess, still need about 480 more signets of learning X_x perhaps while i work towards that 500 goal i will get at least SOME Pantheon set items :;(

Thanks for the information you all have shared btw, really appreciate it as i am new to Meridian.

It's actually the storm shamans (fairy ring) and rust monsters (-75% defense debuff) that are dangerous. I think storm shamans also create swirlies on your head which means any hit will put you into FHR, although I'm not 100% sure it's them or some other monster.

Storm Shamans doesn't possess any skill apart from Lightning Wall and Fairy Ring.

Yea i noticed that, tried to farm nihlathak but i always die to Storm Shamans when they use that bone totem thingy that just rapes me in about 1,5 seconds due to having 0 defense, so...not really viable for a bowzon to farm nihlathak until they have mid-game items i suppose, which is quite ridiculous as mid-game items are what drops there the most it seems, frustrating really.

You could experiment with 100% reanimate skeleton/fallen farming setup to see if it blocks them from casting fairy ring.

It doesn't, i have reanimated on my gloves for 5% chance to reanimate skeleton, and Shamans actually has a longer range than my Wyrmshot, how fucked up isn't that, longer than 26 yards range X_x problem i face a lot of times when i tried to farm nihlathak was that i did not know where the Shaman was, so i couldn't run and kill him fast (since they do die quit fast if you can get to them), they can also cast that Fairy ring over walls it seems? rather strange, stood on the other side of a wall and he cast fairy ring on top of me X_x
