Most of 2002? Luclin was only Dec 01 to Oct 02.
Everything seems to vary heavily by server, but Velks seemed like a good zone where a melee could solo/duo/trio at a good rate, access easy from Nexus/bazaar, mooch buffs/heals/regen, and get a rez easily if needed. My experience is that the spiders were extinct for most of that expansion.
As an side, Acrylia AE was completely gutted circa April/May 2002? They added a bunch of mobs that were either 1) unstunnable, 2) MR, or 3) FR/CR. There was also Chardok, Sebilis (though usually too camped), The Grey, Karnors Basement, Fungus Grove prime for AE'n. The Deep and SSRA tunnels could have been as well, but I didn't see that AE'd much until PoP tbh. The enchanters I played with seemed to only bother w/ AE groups or breaking Dire Charm. Outside of AE'n, AAs came extremely slowly in Luclin.
