then the fastest exp you'll find is soloing blood gills in LOIO.

100% wrong. Fastest exp is going to be undead charming frogs in Lguk. You cannot beat charm dungeon ZEM exp. Is it way harder than LOIO? Yes, but better exp.

I actually tried it last night. At 43 I seem too low even. I killed a few but there was a lot of resists, especially on rest the dead which just ends up getting annoying.

I would assume once it's do able with no interruptions the XP is good. But referencing ZEM the fact is as a comparison to Kaesora for example Guk's ZEM is only ~7% where Kaesora's is 47% so Guk ZEM isn't really like other dungeons. Upper guk on the other hand is bomb XP.

Unless of course the Wiki values are wrong which is what I've always gone by.

The wiki values are wrong.

What's in the wiki are the standard EQ Emulator values. I'm not sure if they're even based on the classic era or not, but either way the devs here didn't want people to know the official ZEM values, because people in live didn't know. So, they've changed some amount of the ZEMs from the EQ Emulator amount to a different amount.

No one knows what they changed, or even how many zones, and researching it is a giant PITA. So the wiki just shows the ZEMs it shows as a "best guess", knowing they're not 100% (or probably even 80%) accurate.

Eh, while it might be true that in theory you could get better exp charming in a higher ZEM dungeon if everything went perfectly, in practice the much higher risk, difficulty and variance of charm breaks, lull resists, and the shenanigans that occur when fighting multiple mobs at the same time will make your average exp per hour roughly equal to or less than what you'd get at a rock solid simple camp like blood gills. At least in the 40s, especially before you get Paralyzing Earth.

54+ there is nothing that competes with charming in HS, but then again there's no equivalent to a dead simple blood gills camp at that level either.

Btw, to wrap up the leveling suggestions: once you hit 49 off blood gills (or whatever else you decide to do) I'd hit HHK nobles/bards til 51 then once you get splurt, do felwithe guards til 54 and get rich. Nobles/bards will be better exp til 54, but the guards drop a minimum of 20p each, so you'll make about 5-7k per level or so. Once you hit 54, the real fun starts in HS.
