ZEM different for camps in certain zones?

[Legidias]

A lot of people debate about LoIO blood gills specifically for area specific ZEM bonuses. Personally I don't think its true, and that they just mistake the goblins low health for added xp bonus (per hour)

How would one test this theory out? I've personally felt the gnolls around the Splitpaw spires were an increased ZEM camp. Same with the Aviak guards by the arena entrance.

It's easy, all you have to do is ...

1. Repeatedly kill (a whole lot ... I dunno, maybe 50 times? probably more to be statistically relevant) of the exact same mob of the exact same level. For a camp like the gnolls in SK, where (I believe) there are no fixed-level mobs, you'd pretty much need an appropriately leveled (ie. same level as the mob) character to con each one when they spawn, and another character to clear all the ones of the "wrong" level, so that your main character can kill 50+ of the "correct" level
2. Do the same thing with another mob (eg. some Aviak or the Hermit or something) elsewhere in the zone
3. Do the same thing with two other mobs of the exact same level as those last two, but in another zone (ideally a zone that you know has no modifier)
4. If you really want to be sure, I think you'd need to do it again (with the same exact level mobs) in another zone, so that you can triangulate

See? Easy [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
