Some of the best zones arent worth going to because of the dynamics of the zones. Everything in splitpaw is a caster with a pet, lizards in CT heal from everywhere.. Hell, I have never been much further than the entrance of runnyeye because nobody is ever there and I didnt know enough about the zone to solo there. That and there isnt enough loot to really justify it except for 1-2 pieces from each zone and its easier to just buy them.

Solb is also pretty crazy xp. Though you are better off in HHK at nobles til 51. Pretty sure HHK has the highest ZEM in the game and you can stay there 20-50.

Kedge Keep definitely has a high zem. Nobles in HighKeep, maybe but I am a 49 Monk but cannot kill them so I wouldn't know.

Highkeep ZEM seemed plain broken, a few months back. It seems to have something of a bonus now, again. I really hope it wasn't all my imagination because Rogean does love a good zing.

I think the overarching point here is if you need to join a group or not. If you're LFG and bound by where the existing groups are already then you'll be needing to just follow the herd...making about half the possible zones unpossible :P

Agreed on the former popularity of Mistmoore, I remember everything camped... CE camped, so a group or even two would move in and try and do some of the more tricky stuff by Dhamp or do the gypsies if CE's group wasn't able to reach that far.

Unrest is a realistic option in the basement as a trio, a tank, cleric and dps is all you really need. If the tank is a paladin, that's good for extra dps. If the cleric is one of two healers he can throw some nukes in. Things open up for groups if undead is involved. Definitely too slow for a full group, but a knowledgable trio can make quick work of the basement [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Alternatives? Sol B entrance is probably doable. Overthere used to be a popular zone for the mid-30s...not sure at the moment. If you can "bring your own group" to a zone you shouldnt rule out Nurga Mines (off FM)...though Droga is a pathing nightmare.

At 38-40 I solo'd the festering hags in Unrest as a cleric. Some well placed lulls/trial and error and they're broken and very nukable (keep a symbol up). There's no reason why a 35ish cleric and another dps couldn't hold those down if the basement is camped.

I called Unrest counter productive due to the less experience you'd be gaining in contrast to other options.
That and at certain killing speeds you'd be out of mobs.

You're right about the geographical aspect.
The funny bit is when zones become so hyped or common that people overlook the logistics of things just because they want to get there.
How many times I've heard someone say 'Kedge? Kedge is like other side of the planet man, take me forever!' 'Where are you now?' 'I'm at the druid rings in Dreadlands' <---- forever, really? 'Where you going instead?' 'Sebilis! great xp man am i rite?' 'You got OT hammer?' 'No, I'm gonna run'
'Ok, good luck with that..'
