The Zoogie Master

Several folks have asked me what the best template for a ZOOGIE HUNTING template are. This is what a Legendary Zoogie Hunter looks like :) Normally I would drop the med for eval but I am finally getting around to taking it to 120 for inscription, so I am running Mystic for the above ground mass murder of the ants with a RC. This little excursion was 15 minutes to collect 200 Zoogies even and 13,242 gold and whatever gems the warriors dropped, also got a nice clean ring 10 int, 10%lmc 20 lrc and 3/1 not a bad lesser LOL. Took another 5 min to run the Zoogies to powder making the 20 minute run worth about 55k gold. Not as good as farming the Wolf gold but I do love hunting the ZOOGIES!

The wolf gold?

Tsuki wolves drop on average 1000 gold per plus a corpse full of unravel junk that makes a lot of relic frags. A discod Tsuki drops to a RC or GD in about 3-4 seconds and they insta respawn all around the house. A good Tsuki hunter can haul in 400k per hour it the wolf house solo, Don't have to leave the area to unravel so can just keep killing, looting, unraveling. Not a place for low levels to hunt and the 5 reapers that spawn in the general area of the house can be annoying as can the 2-3 ninjas but it is mostly wolfs and kazee's. When you get tired of farming split the gold, keep or sell the frags and go home with some coinage in the pockets. Mid level mages, and archers can do well with wolves when armed with demon slayers. Melee is just to slow and the wolves dish out considerable damage fairly fast. Nothing fancy, nothing new or exciting, just a good solid critter to earn a lot of gold fairly quickly with. Several years back a group of 7 people were farming them at the house and when I came back about 2 hours later they had stacks of 60k gold laying all over the house and the ground outside the house. Around 4 mil give or take by my counting of piles. Not bad even splitting it 7 ways for 2 hours of hunting. I liked their tactic 2 luring all the surrounding wolves into a kill zone in front of the house 3 using greater dragons and 2 looting and unraveling and dropping RCs. Wish I had taken a screeny of the hundreds of wolf corpses littering the ground in front of the house. LOL it is a lot slower solo.

Not possible to do that in Wind entrance, the spawn is to spread out and doesn't move fast enough to lure that many through a field in 15 minutes. Next hole in the story is you would have to be killing and looting 17 per minute with average zoogie drops, they don't re spawn that fast at any of the 3 above ground locations. The only way to hit the numbers you are talking is if the majority of the ants dropped max 13 and 16 zoogs, which on rare runs has happened but a max zoogie drop tends to average 1 max per 12 ants. Now had you said finding a random an hole, dropping fields on it and running back and forth over it, that would be plausible as you can keep the worker and warrior spawn going non stop and not having to wait for respawn.

Had to test this 300-500 Zoogies in the wind maze in 15 minutes nonsense and it is just that NONSENSE :) Kept fields up and lead and looted for 15 minutes exactly (Non Stop the entire 15 minutes) Perhaps you mean 300-500 per hour :) Spawn is spread out and the respawn just is not fast enough. To do more than 250, maybe 275 in 15 minutes if half the zoogie drops are max.

I loot them as fast as they die, still can't get around they don't respawn fast enough and I seriously doubt there is anything you can teach me about ants ;) I did do a run at the vesper house and it is possible to do 300 there but the spawn is more concentrated and you can lure them all through a field. Even if you do get really lucky and hit 3/4 max zoogie drops that would be the exception and not the rule. There is just no way around the spawn rate, the large spawn area in wind and the randomness of the 13 and 16 drops.
