The advice to go to a place like KC is lame because almost everything is camped and you are waiting for a group then competing for most spawns. Groups are fuller and you get less exp.

Take Kedge. Can easily duo most of the zone where level appropriate, or do a 3-4 group quite easy. If you take the time to learn and recruit a few folks it's pretty cake. Some semi-decent loot left in there as well, with mermaids having uncommon vendor trash drops that sell 50-200pp.

I'm not holding my breath for the meta to change, people want crowded zones where rez is easily available and can sow / train to exit at drop of a hat.

Fair enough. Don't get me wrong, I love Kedge. You're totally right, the mobs there are lower HP than mobs in Kunark/Velious, and it's never crowded. Plus it's got some fun quirky gear, like the somewhat heavier tink bags (driftwood treasure chests) or the enduring breath shield.

It's just that personally I was underwhelmed by the XP there on my Druid, especially after hearing so much about the place's ZEM. The XP was good (well, when I wasn't dying). but I just didn't think it was great. /shrug
