Part of the reason people were leveling so fast in Kedge back in march/april was because of charm, which was also nerfed. They would charm the named sharks (which have high MR) to kill mermaids + seahorses. Before the charm nerf, I did 59-60 in about 20 hours of played time in permafrost as a druid. (all without boxing a cleric and mage to plevel me, too)
After the ZEM reduction, kedge just isn't worth it. I found sol b dogs to be much better for the low to mid 40s, then karnor's. It's important to look at other factors aside from exp per kill. Kedge mobs have a wide level range, named sharks and all horses have highish MR, aggroing through walls is a problem, AoEing cleric and druid buffed level 1 fish increase downtime, few mobs are single pulled without lull, and just plain running out of mobs that are level appropriate are all issues.
The old ZEM might have been a bit much, but the current ZEM is too low if you want Kedge to match the exp rates of alternatives.
