It is my understanding there are three different velious tunics - Rowyl's, Nature Walker's, and Woven Grass... If faction was not an issue, which of these is the easiest to acquire?

Rowyl's is the easiest to get. Just solo the Kael Arena or the bank area however the BP is a rare drop so plan to be there awhile.

Then for this Armor you only need kindly faction with the dorfs to get it.

was afraid of that... been trying for that one for awhile now with little success - always getting adds, etc. in that area. What is the safest way to camp the arena?

Does the Hauberk of Harmony still drop? It was comparable to the Velious quest tunics.

It was rare as all hell... I only ever saw one drop (hi Mellyn!) and saw one other person wearing one on my server.

Kill the 6 mobs that can see invisible leading to the arena ramp, kill two guards at top of ramp, kill the guard on wall across from the ramp. This is your camp. If you can't manage this part, you will not be able to handle the mobs inside the arena. Arena mobs see invisible and summon. Most of the arena mobs are melee, a few are cleric / enchanter / wizard. Best solo druid tactic is to charm one of the dire wolves near the bank. Avoid Derakor the Vindicator, he is level 70 and doesn't drop quest armor components.

Nowadays I would bet its easier to get the SS quest tunic. HoT is pretty much trivialised, and there was always a higher drop rate there than in Kael, at least in my experience...

can HoT be easily soloed now by a 70 druid with mediocre equip? would be nice to get that buckler of insight just for ****s and giggles... got a couple of the components, then quit for 2 years, and I hate leaving things unfinished (plus I am bored a lot)

You maybe able to solo the regular dragons, but I don't think theres any way a druid could kill the nameds that drop the tears/quest pieces.

Mediocre equipment denies ToV soloing.

This might be totally the wrong line of thinking here, but would it not be easier to get the Elysian tunic in Umbral Plains? I soloed for all that gear in my early to mid 50's. I think it has stats that are comparable to the Velious quest tunics, just didn't have the clicky. Plus, you will get the rest of the set fairly quickly while camping the tunic there, since they all drop off the same mobs.

I'd say no. I'm sure its doable but no way its easy. You still will quite often get double pulls, the mobs gate, probably are stun immune and if ya get a Vehement Wyvern( least I think it was them ) they still double for close to 1k each if memory serves. Also givin the hit points of the mobs, it would be long and slow and not worth it.

Thurg Tunic: http://www.magelo.com/eq_item_info.html?num=31050 (http://www.magelo.com/eq_item_info.html?num=31050)
Rowyl's Chestguard of Nature
MAGIC ITEM NO DROP
Slot: CHEST
AC: 20
STR: +5 CHA: +4 WIS: +14 HP: +30
MANA: +80 SV DISEASE: +5 SV COLD: +5 SV MAGIC: +7
Effect: Regrowth of the Grove (Must Equip. Casting Time: 9.0)
WT: 3.5 Size: LARGE

You can use it in a quest to get this:

Grand Tunic of the Oracle
MAGIC LORE NODROP
AC 20
+18 Sta, +20 Wis, +100 HP, +120 Mana
+10 vsAll
Effect: Flowing Thought IV

That is why so many people would like to get the Velious quest BPs

I would say quest for the Grand tunic of the oracle.. it's much more better than the others, unless you are going after the click regen.

In that case, you might as well go for Ornate, with the clicky Blessing of Replenishment.

Yea i agree too.

Plus the chances of getting an ornate tunic to drop from aulliffe, compared to getting it anywhere in velious is HUGE.
