* Use a blocker. This way you can hunt larger [[Creatures|creatures]] that you would not normally be able to take on alone. This will most likely cost you quite a bit in [[Runes]], since druids do not have many instant attack spells, and you may need to pay the blocker for their services.
* Hunt with Summoned Creatures. When hunting with summons, you do not need to use as many [[Runes|runes]], and you can stay in your hunting area longer because you are not using as much mana with your [[Rods|Rod]].
* Use Defensive Fighting when you are hunting with [[Rods]]. Changing your fighting mode will not affect the damage that your rods will cause, but using Defensive Fighting will cause you to take less damage from any melee attacks. Note that the damage from Rods does NOT increase with level or magic level.
* Use your surroundings. Since most [[Rods]] cannot attack as far away as a [[Bow]] or [[Crossbow]] that [[Paladin|Paladins]] use, druids need to use trees, stairs, and other obstacles to help maintain a distance from strong [[Creatures|creatures]]. With some practice, you will be able to fight strong [[Creatures|creatures]] without taking very much damage.
