I forgot about another nice spot that's underused. The gnolls in lake rathetar right next to SK zoneline. They even drop nice things for their level, but you need some sort of CC (or lull, druid harmony would be great). If things go south, the zone line is very close. Here is a link to the gnoll embalmer, have a look.
