EF is the best place to solo 40+ when i was you level i was able to get very good xp. id start by going to the docks and speaking to marta terillion (?) she give quests to kill 8-12 mobs. if you dont get stags delete and get another til you have stags. next head up to the stags area killing everything you can on the way. kill all the stags, evac back to docks, hand in and repeat. each run would give me 5-6% xp (with vitality). each run can take 15-20 mins depending on how many you need to kill and if there are other people around. if you end up waiting for stags to pop you can harvest, there are loads of nodes in that area. <div></div>

That quest is good but i'm not sure it's worth the time it takes to travel back to the killing area after you turn it in (from a pure xp sense).  At lvl 43 I go to the area with the mammoth calves and glacier bears and just kill non stop.  I try to find a high lvl bear or valkerye and use ring of cold on it, then while ROC is recharging I pull a lvl 47 bear or mammoth with tether and frozen manacles.  I don't like the frozen gales though...they seem to break root a lot more than the other mobs do.

<P>if you can solo grouped mobs you can fight the single group heroic laminas in rivervale, near the wax bees.  about 1.5% per kill shouldn't take more than 4 min a fight with roc.  they also drop nice adepts and trash loot from chests sells for 1-3g.</P> <P>they should be white/blue to you at your lvl. </P> <P> </P> <P>if thats too tough for you, then you can solo the single group heroic blight rats(or name equivilant) in rivervale also they should be high/low green cons to you their  lvl range is 37-38.  hell you could probably take out the named blight rat called blightwhip several times as he pops he drops good loot and adepts.</P> <p>Message Edited by IllusiveThoughts on <span class=date_text>06-09-2005</span> <span class=time_text>12:53 PM</span>

<DIV>Killing heroic mobs just usually isn't worth the time/risk when you could kill about 10 solo mobs in that time, getting 10x the chance for a 2g chest drop!</DIV>
