Are you having trouble feeding your distillate habit? Are you addicted to new augments but can't seem to get the platinum to get them? Worry not, my poor Ranger, for I have a new spot for you to make some cash and earn experience along the way.
If you haven't been to the Paludal Caverns, you are missing out on a wealth of items and armor that can be worn or sold. First cast Camouflage to help you get past some higher level mobs. I'll explain later. To get to Paludal Caverns, take the portal to the Nexus, then use the Nexus portal to Shadowhaven. Shadowhaven will take you to Paludal Caverns. Now comes the hard part. You will zone into an area that tends to get camped by players, and the mobs here can kill you quickly because they attack in groups. If you used Camouflage(and even if you didn't), hug the right side of the tunnel and enter the main cave. Run up the side of the cave wall as far as you can, and you shouldn't attract anything, but if you do, zone out and try again. Paludal is an underground zone, so any outdoor spells won't work. After you get past the bandit camp, you'll see a ramp leading north. There will be a big mushroom-like mob called a sensate reishi, or as I like to call them, sushi mushrooms. You can begin your hunting here. Be careful of the lizard-like mob that wanders up and down the ramp. He's hard to avoid unless you plan ahead and stay out of range of where he wanders. Remember to rest between every kill until your health is 100%. The lizards help each other and can quickly cut you down in a few swipes. These mobs drop all kinds of fungal armor and other items that can be sold for quick cash in Shadowhaven. Being a wood elf, I had no one of my race in Shadowhaven and had to hoof it back to the Plane of Knowledge to sell, but it was definately worth it. Good luck and happy hunting!
