You can use the way they calculate experience to pretty good effect to figure out ZEM, at least figure out if the numbers are accurate. I did a test in Lake of Ill Omen (which has a XP penalty) 2 years ago on Blue on bloodgills. I did them for 2 complete levels. They range a max of 3 different levels, so was easy to use an average level. I counted how many I killed to ding and did the math of what it should have been based on ZEM and Iksar penalties, I got within 3 bloodgills. I'd say it is pretty accurate.
