The ZEMs in the wiki are from the stock EQ Emulator. P99 doesn't use those numbers, but they're (arguably) better than no numbers at all, so the wiki uses them (typically with a footnote at the bottom of the page, saying what I just said).

In some cases, people have updated them to reflect the P99 changes, but that still doesn't make them accurate. If P99 said "X zone now gives 20% more" that doesn't at all tell you what "X zone" started with. You can add 20% to the EQ Emulator number, but that number might be very different.

The fundamental problem is that on live (where the EQ Emulator numbers came from) people could use the cheat program ShowEQ to see the exact amount of XP a mob gave, which let them infer the ZEM with a bit of math. Here that program is blocked, so either:

A) someone needs to write a cheat that gets around P99's anti-cheat code (and then use it while killing a bunch of mobs in various zones)

or:

B) someone needs to kill a lot of one mob (that has a consistent level) in zone A, then kill a lot of another consistent level mob in zone B, then do the same in C, D, and E, and then do some slightly fancier math to show the relative differences between them.
