I have been level 70 since just before the last expansion and I have not yet gotten a group that I have been able t o get a level 70 rune. I am looking for ideas on how I can get these runes in when I only have about 1KPP.

Also I was wondering what the druid chat channel was for across all servers so if needed I can ask my fellow druids for help if needed.

Level 70 runes are Ancient Runes and can be difficult to get unless you are in a raid group. Although I have heard of them dropping in RSS. Level 70 runes are NO DROP and will not be found in the bazaar.

Correction Kin, level 70 runes are Glowing Runes, either Muramite or Shadowspine. I can't really help on where to get them since I only have 2 myself, damn group oak eludes me. The Ancient Runes are drops from Anguish and those you will need a raid for.

The various named in RSS, MPG, RCOD, WoS can drop Glowing muramite rune (check http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=30539 for listing). I preferred the statue camp (top of stairs near Queen) as there are a number of named within easy pulling range.

For Glowing Shadowspine check http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=44497. I had some success with various named in RoI.

There are only very few groupable Mobs that drop Glowing runes in farmable marges. I spend a huge ammount of time in RSS and saw only 3 glowing runes drop so far.
Even the "easier" raidmobs in RCoD or WoS drop Glowing Runes only on a 30 to 50% chance from my experience.
A steady source for Glowing Runes for my guild were MPG Raidtrials, but they were not trivial at all.

In MPG Grouptrials there should be a 20% chance for a glowing rune on a victory.

Good luck to everyone who need them.

I feel your pain Laythorn, I myself have only gotten 1 level 69 rune and no level 70 runes (and I have been 70 for over 6 months.) The hardest part is finding a group. I am not part of a raiding guild (actually I am the only member left of my guild - hehehe) and finding a group to hunt in the places that the runes drop can be daunting to say the least.

The Druids Grove does have a cross server channel - /join serverwide.druidsgrove [the password is password]

I wish you luck!!

I have heard, - but nor confirmed, that Dreadspire drops a decent amount of Glowing Runes.

I would suggest trying Fear (Bard, SK, or Nerco needed) and Destruction (need solid DPS) trails in MPG. These are the two easier trials imo and dad seen a decent drop rate on these.

I know a few people who also camped Bluespark for hours and seen a few there.

Dreadspire does indeed offer a lot of glowings, and there are a couple camps in Stoneroot with lots of rune droppers.

While this may be true, one would still need access. And that is priceless. Trying to get a decent XP group, let alone a mission arc group is damn near impossible. Wednesday night I was LFG for about 3 hours with only 6 people including me in the LFG tool. I swear the server was deserted, even if Netura claims he was busy farming with his "clique". =p

Duder, you gotta just start quadkiting while lfg ;p. You will get an invite right in the middle of a quad, guaranteed, everytime!
