Zone Experience Modifier (ZEM)

How accurate are the zems to the link below on the P99 server? Can any devs confirm or deny?

The only one that I think we know for certain is wrong is what's listed for Kedge. It's no longer super jacked up as the info at the link suggests, though it used to be.

The list is otherwise accurate enough that it would be hard to give any reason to edit the values.

The devs have stated that list is wrong, but if we want accurate values, we'd have to research them ourselves as the devs will not release that information.

With that said, I believe the relative weighting of that list is still accurate enough for you to base your exping off of it. As a simple rule of thumb, dungeons > noobie zones > outdoor for ZEMs.

Also remember the base in that chart is 75, not 100. So a value of "85" would have a zem of 85/75 = 1.133 or +13.3% over the base modifier.

People can change =). Who knows, I don't know what harm publishing the list of zems would cause.

The min/maxers would flood the best zones and refuse to level anywhere else possibly leaving other zones as empty as old world zones on live currently.

And that's a problem? Seems like it's a good idea to get some player pooling going on.

Would you like to go from camping a group of mobs to camping one single mob?

People go to Oasis and know full well it has a low zem. I really don't think this would happen as you suggest.

Unrest has a ton of things that make it one of the best leveling zones in the game ZEM aside. That's why there will always be people there.

Same with Oasis.

Eq you've been here long enough you should remember the mess with SolA when the server opened.
