A very excellent guide Master Zentile, hats off to you!

I am quite tempted to make my own guide with some additions! I have at least 4 more spots in the Hole (and most likely others) that are great solo EXP in the Hole:
Castle Ledge (near that big bridge at pit)
Town Entrance basement (similar to your guide, but you can go in the basement to break up pulls)
Library Staircase (best group camp in the Hole IMO but never used)
Yael Pit / Cave
Fallen Erudites in Crypt
Area between Golem Tower / Ranger Cave entrance

When I make my dramatic return to in game (in process of buying a house atm) I should demo those in some videos. Would need to give tips on how to solo the named elementals, can be a pain.

I should say, Kedge does deserve some mention. Mermaids are like never camped and suuuuper easy to get to. Splitting them isn't that hard either despite being casters (and I don't even use Eye of Zomm cause I'm old school, ridiculous easy with eye since they have sow speed).

Mind you this was before the nerf to Kedge ZEM, so not sure if as worth it, cause you get some light blues and even an occasional green. But money was very good (mithril amulets are uncommon drop, 100pp). I was also able to solo my +10 MR mask. Damage shields hurt there so a good 2hb helps and dispel stones, but once split it was cake.
