Hunting Spots

[Aeeri]

<DIV>There used to be a great group of threads on Mage Compendium for EQ1 hunting spots. Given that there are not many of us on each server, do folks want to share good spots for levelling? I am currently 52 and play only 1-2 hours a day max and when I am not grouped I could sure use some good suggestions for mobs that have decent xp and are soloable. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help out.</DIV>

Hunting grounds should be picked so that you can solo AND not be to far from heroics if you want to start a group. My illusionist is level 32 so I find it easy to do the solo quests in Zek and in EL and heroics are in bunches in diffrent areas.

<DIV>It is somewhat interesting that there are numerous posts asking for support from the Illusionist community to "right wrongs" that have been bestowed upon us yet a thread purporting to help this same community gets no response.</DIV>

<P>Thank you for your post. I was not aware of the Tears Grifter quests. I appreciate the time you spent outlining some easy to find areas. I guess I was looking for "there is a spot near soandso that has level 51 single up mobs that provides better xp than the normal blue trash in SS". I am content with your response as writs and the quest you mentioned are better xp than mindlessly killing 1000 blues to level. </P> <P>Thanks</P>

Tears Grifter EXP was nerfed, now about half of what it was pre LU16.
