Well, I was able to successfully dispose of a few brinescum and mollusk on Tormenta, yesterday, before being sent to jail. But it seemed that almost each time I targeted one, another creepy character joined in the battle. So, after landing on my tush, I decided to give El Sudoron another try.
I went across the river and found a location (the graveyard area, to the left) where there are several gypsies, raiders and grenadiers that respawn. These range from level 18 to 33, usually somewhere in the 20's. I had finally put a skill point on the hex eater skill and could drain the voodoo from a gypsy in 5 or 6 shots (thanks for the tip WH), and then plug away using the lead shot until it fell, getting anywhere from 30 to 65 exp. points, usually, and depending on the level of the target. If I was careful, and backed up while shooting, I could get the same from most of the grenadiers and raiders, using a couple of bane shots to start with. Anything over level 30, I quickly took out with the cutlass or staff and hoped for a smaller respawn to shoot. Gypsies were never higher than level 28 there.
I also purchased the tri-barrel after reaching level 15 (which helped speed things along), and, in just a few hours of play yesterday, I was able to go from level 14 to 18 with the pistol. I maxed out Bane and Silver shot with some of the points I had been saving (although I dont use them to level), and can take down a high level target, with either one, in just a few shots, utilizing the take aim skill. This had been my least favorite weapon since Beta, but now I'm kinda likin' it.
