I can't speak to ZEMs really, but I did really well in Swamp of No Hope at the undead camp opposite cabilis. Is a good spot to rest with sneak on to avoid almost every roamer and fight there. I didn't even have a fungi, maybe had SCHW at the time.

Pretty sure I was mid twenties there or slightly higher, maybe stayed in that zone until 32ish.

As soon as you can, I recommend going to hunt Tundra Yeti's in Dreadlands. 6min respawn or so, very low agro radius (fight them on spawn point). Can hold down a lot of them with a fungi and bandages. You even make some decent gem drop loot off them. I think you could stay there from 38-46 if you wanted. Camped a bunch, but with fast respawns you can usually get yourself a cubby, also there is a lesser used cave opposite the popular one with 4-5 spawns (gotta catch one of the spawns fast else he wanders out into the tundra).
