Best new luclin zone (whats your opinion?)
What do you people think the best luclin zone is, i myself have only gone to maidens and it was fun the first week when stuff dropped but after the nerf i lost intrest and went back to velks labrynth. So where would everyone else recomend going for exp and where should one go for money loots?

Akheva ruins = crazy xp !
and more spells drop for the adventurers who go deep.
Re: Best new luclin zone (whats your opinion?)
Oh, traps, I like traps. Will have to drag some guildmates there one night.
I kinda liked Grieg's, Maiden's is pretty cool too. Some nice drops there and tons of mobs to supply the masses. Went to Umbral (sp) planes once, didn't get to see much of it. Was a 2 group guild raid and just constant pulling to the zone in area. Few spells drops and some really crap armor that was tagged Recommend level 50.
As for lvl 25 - 30, took my monk (Anolis) over and hunted in Nethbain (something like that) Lair then moved to Marus Seru which I really liked and ended up going back to after spending a level in Dawnshroud. DS was okay but the mobs hit a fair amount harder for what seemed to be the same exp as in MS.

Fungus Grove is probably the best zone for exp. It's a high level highpass/highkeep. Bank, merchants and mobs that offer exp in one zone can't beat that hands down.
Akheva is fun to run through but is much like Dragon Necropolis after the traps are seen they become nothing but a nuisance and hinder any sort of crawl. One group CANNOT go through Akheva when six of those wurms spawn on trap. Wurms can't be mezzed, are high MR to root and snare, and they mosh casters they drain the casters mana as a proc.
The Grey was the absolute best new outdoor zone pre-nerf, and is still fun, but the traps are numerous and you often feel like you're tippy toe-ing through a mine field. Hugging walls is not nearly as fun as moving about imo.

Fungus Grove *was* awesome XP until they shortened the spawn time from 5 minutes or whatever it was....now it doesnt seem that much better than other places /shrug

Fungus grove is still the best exp ive experienced in a long time.
Partnered with a monk vs shrooms I get about a blue of regular exp every 35 minutes. With a war and bard I get about a blue of exp every half hour.
In a guild group vs bandits I get a blue every 40 mins. We barely keep up with the respawn, so its constant exp
I can get a yellow of alt exp in about 45 minutes, which is like an alt exp level a day of regular exp'age.
Bandits drop loot, shrooms are faster exp. Its a toss up but both are almost never camped.
Re: Best new luclin zone (whats your opinion?)
that sux, i get 1 blue from 3 shrooms, that's in about 1-2 mins tops of fighting those lamers each.
altho yea, i'm soloing, but still.

Great experience is in Fungus Grove (level 45+), though the loot drops are few and far between...and mostly spells.
The Deep ( level 53+) is strange, many mobs see thru invis (just after the intial ones that's don't). Great zone for raids cause there is some amazing loot deep in. But it's a dangerous zone. Mobs are hard, and experience is slow.
Umbral (level 50+), now that is a fun zone. Don't just sit at the zone and pull...move out a bit and find a spot to pull to. Be careful though, the aggro range is HUGE in there. If you can get some of the better drops, it's worth the effort. Experience is average, nothing exceptional.
Greigs (50+)...well, it's nothing but unusual. It kinda feels like an adult haunted house. Fun to watch your group turn into all sorts of other critters. Loot is decent if you manage to get the named. Other than that, it's a bit too crazy for a regular group, experience is only average as well.
Tenebrous (35+), nice zone. Good exp and good possible loot. Good faction for Katta if you need it as well. Blues here for 55+ as well.
Scarlet Desert (30+), very nice zone in general. Great experience, but loot is only mediocre for the levels needed to fight there. Blues here for 55+ as well.
Acrylia Caverns (45+) Odd zone, but interesting. Experience is middle of the road, but if you get deep in, some nice mobs carry some goodies. Good place for AE groups near the entrance.
Grimling Forest (20+). This is mostly an NPC raid zone, but it's got some good other mobs as well. Experience is good and there is rarely many folks there. If you have a lower level guild and want to do NPC raids, this might be fun. Just chat with the NPC's at the Kitty outpost to get info.
Twilight Sea (20-45). Nice drops, experience is good.
Echo Caverns (20-45). Good experience, nothing too special in drops, but a few worth checking out.
LOL, well that's my opinion anyway...take it for what it's worth!
Have fun exploring!

Jenj-- The 3 kills per blue is in alt exp Im assuming?
The exp i was talking about was regular exp =p Im 57.
Re: Best new luclin zone (whats your opinion?)
I think Grimling would be more 30+. At low 30's, you could hunt there in a small group at the outpost wall. Watch the sonics, they're very magic resistant and cannot be snared or rooted; very melee-able however. Owlbears are good xp, but their screeches can do non-trivial damage in early 30's.
My bard did 31-38 between Grimling, Marus Seru (?) and DSP, usually partnered with a rogue. DSP is nice xp (small shrooms are overcons, IMO) and zelniaks are plentiful. Mid 30's the xp in Grimling was better.
I'd steer away from Mons Letalis. At 40, only things I found there were undercons, falling damage and ugly CR. Never see anyone hunting that zone on Tunare, and I think I now see why.
