It should be noted though, that once you get all of the nodes, you really know your stuff. Not to mention it's a serious feeling of accomplishment. Getting The Wanderer's Shadow is still one of the happiest moments in the game for me. The best advice I can give is, don't keep bashing your head into a wall. If something doesn't work, try something new. I know when I was trying to get South Bloodshore, it took me almost an hour to realize that I could just walk past the crabs. I was getting so frustrated I just kept running in headlong and didn't think to try walking (it was one of my first nodes, so I hadn't really gotten a feel for the aggro mechanics).
