Rate per hour, as others have mentioned, is hugely variable. Some classes will be much faster than others, but it’s gonna be slow for pretty much anyone.
In general:
-classes that solo effectively do better than those who can’t
-for those classes, solo is generally faster than a full group
-duo/trio is almost always better than a full group
-availability of mobs is more important than ZEM
-velious is typically terrible compared to classic/kunark
-highly desirable group classes will net more xp/hr compared to less desirable classes
Thankfully most classes that are less desirable (ie druid/wiz) have alternative solo prospects that in many cases is superior to group xp.
Best advice: don’t focus on your xp bar. Regardless of who you are and what you’re doing 54-60 is going to feel like a crawl.
