I've found that killing the lvl 50/51 ^^ skeles (vision seeker-types) and ^ ghouls near the Eye of Anuk in DoF gives me about .35% and .15% exp respectively at level 50 (was still easy to kill at lvl 48/49 for more exp) and as a very good bonus, the ^^ count as heroic and drop chests in about 1 out of 4 kills AND there are rock harvest nodes in the same area for that chance of a rare....Looted 2 necro lvl 50+ spell recipes there in a night =) Anyone else finding good spots? <div></div>

I run in circles in Maj and kill anything that I can. Lots of different named mobs spawn and drop 1-3 pieces of junk loot that sell for like 20g to vendor. Also gather coins and sell them for about 1g on the broker. Should be about 50g-1p per hour depending on how many people in Maj are doing they same thing at the time. <div></div>

I send in the pet, wait a sec, calmly fire off all my dot's and dumb pets, maybe throw a pet heal if it's taking too much damage, wait until the mob gets to about 35% health, then burn it with snare (dooming darkness), siphon life, accursed cloud, skinrot. That gets me aggro of course, but the mob dies before it can do any/much damage. Reliable and reproducible, I only have to use FD if an add spawns on top of me. Usually the thrall finishes at < 50% health, and I just scrap him and cast a new one... quicker than healing. so say 30 secs downtime between fights. Green ^^^ are usually doable but too dangerous and slow for good XP... spent 3 hours in EF proving that to myself last night.

<DIV>When I solo, I kill the solo harpies in PoF, there are 2-3 names that spawn in that area and the xp is good for solo xp, and they are easy to kill. You can kill them fast and you can make a pp in 2 hours or so off of just body loot. </DIV><p>Message Edited by MrGrimm999 on <span class=date_text>09-29-2005</span> <span class=time_text>07:51 AM</span>

I was messing around that same area last night and really enjoying it. I saw 2 of the named harpies - lvl 55 and 56 heroics iirc and easy as pie. Just root the named, kill the 2 vv adds (takes about 40s for them so root is still up) send pet on named and burn it down (only a ^^). Only problem I had was that they dropped lore items in the chests. I had a guildie meet me and take on bracer and helm off me that he could use, and then got another set. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But the xp on the regular groups of solo harpies is nice, and they give 5 different positive faction hits, nice body loot, pages for quests, pieces for L&L quest, language quest and of course hunter titles. I'll probably hang out around here for awhile longer for all these reasons.</DIV>

<P>Gobbies or Harpies in PoF are good exp and loot.</P> <P>They are not heroics but you can plow through them so very fast and the loot drops come in a very good rate.</P> <P>Sentient so they drop coins, body loots, and chests.</P> <P>So far I have found destroying solo mobs gives better exp than grinding on heroics.</P> <P> </P>

I was killing pretty much any solo mob in poF last night, but I think I am going to just concentrate on the harpies tonight. One of the positive faction hits you get is actually for the sandscrawler gobos iirc! Also, be warned about the Guerrilla whatever gobos. They are lvl 55-6 ^^ gobos that can dish out a beating. I killed a couple of them and they were definately not worth it xp/loot wise for the difficulty of the mobs. Harpies also give good faction hits for the Ashen Order and the Ortillians which I believe both give quests (not sure if the quests are faction dependent but cant hurt).
<P>LOL,</P> <P>What am I doing here :smileytongue:</P> <P>I play a ranger / mystic dual box and since LU13 it seems be basically equivalent to a necro of the same level (you guys are tough) and have done all three of those camps also, often sharting with a solo necro.</P> <P>Exp seems best at harpies in PoF tho loot seemed a little lacking.</P> <P>Sandscrawler camps thats spawn the chieftan shaman and trooper give by far the best loot, made about 1.5 plat in 2 hours. Easy mobs thos pesky lil level 50 adds can be a nuisance, and exp is a slow but steady grind</P> <P>The Heroics at Eye of Anuk make no sense, exp and loot seem to hange on a daily basis, sometimes seems good and sometimes its horrible. With vitality its a good place to see some real gains and without not worth it and plowing thru solo mobs seems more effecient</P> <P> </P> <P>Lol and heyas Handlebars ... Leave my coin guards alone !</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

Priestess Court - just as you drop down the sewer into teh priestess court you are in a small area of solo mobs all around the pool. Up to the right is a dirt ramp with 3 groups of mummies, up the top of that is another group at teh back - the Mental Mason can spawn here, soloable named drops a couple of caster items (legs/hat). Make some decent cash/loot here and the xp isnt too bad. You can keep going around in a circle killing everything. If you get time, there are some single up arrow jobs of those tentacle mobs that hide in the ground (called rubble bashers here) nearby/ <div></div>
