On Povar, my Dwarf Paladin recently hit 40 (woot) and I've been following the DoN cultural armor path, so I've been thinking about gearing up towards the expert level. The task to get your symbol book for that level has you going into Kedge Keep and killing 40 mermaids and looting 10 Deepwater Inks (this is all I can see so far...so who knows what comes next). Last night I poked my head in for the first time to check it out. I 2 box with a chanter (level 38). I realize I am probably a bit low and need to level some more....but just wanted to check out the entrance area. I cleared the first room of swordfish, and as I expected, the whole environment is going to take some getting used to.
Since my goal is the mermaids (I don't even know where they are), I'm looking for some tips on how to go about this. Has anyone done this task? Any tips on aggro in this place? Will greenies leave you alone if you leave them alone? Is it even doable with the combo I have (once I get them a little higher of course).
Anxious to hear any and all experiences here.
