Hi all, newbie question. Fire Hydra is ilvl 130 yet I see on forums recommendations to farm for it in Fauzt which is area level 125. But 130 > 125 and that means it can't drop?

Do I have to farm something like Scosglen since it's alvl is 130 to see it drop? I'd prefer Fauzt since it goes much faster for my gear/skill

The required lvl to enter fauzt is 125, but area level is 130. The required lvl to enter scos is 130, but the area level is 135. So fire hydra will drop in both places. You can turn on area lvl in the options if you don't already see it.

fauztinville is ilvl130, the required level to enter isn't the same as the item level of the area, there are other areas like that (duncraig is 120req but 125ilvl, tran athulua is 115req but 118 ilvl)

Thanks a lot for the explanation! I was looking here but I guess it lists the entry level required then! Will keep farming Fauzt :)

just as a tip, stick to the official documentation when possible, the wiki is not kept up to date

Where is the best place to level for 115-120, 120-125, etc? Obviously depends on how efficient you clear, but let's say all the same. Cow > Tran > Dunc > Fautz ?

WTK: if one has 1% chance to proc lvl 1 arrow on striking + 1% chance to proc lvl 2 arrow on striking + 1% chance to proc lvl 3 arrow on striking = (1+1+1)% chance to proc lvl 1 arrow on striking?
In short, chance added but lvl down to the lowest?

Those should all just be separate instances of there being a 1% chance to cast. Technically if you had that you'd be able to have all 3 procs go off on the same strike.

For pure XP I think that's correct.
