I did like 44-51 in Grobb. It's an amazing place, assuming nothing has changed. You never become KoS with troll illusion for some reason, just dubious at worst, plus you can vendor and bank there. The guards each drop a sword, shield and necklace that can be sold for a total of like 12p, plus a bit of cash loot, and you never have to miss out on any because you can sell+bank every 15 minutes if you want. There's enough guards to perfectly match a cycle of clearing them out over and over. A few guards are tougher than the rest and hit for like 190, twice as many HP, but the same level and crappy low resists as the rest of the guard. They seriously seem to have 0 resists, I didn't get a single resist the entire time I was there. That seemed like a bug, so there's always that. Anyway, I made something like 7k leveling from 44 to 51, and I think I died only once due to carelessly letting myself getting encumbered and subsequently having an unlucky charm break. Get used to the pathing patterns, figure out which are the uberguards - there's about three of them, plus one in the bar that's not worth touching, it's level 50 or something and nearly immune to magic. One paths around down by the shadowknight place and stops near the bridge (Basher Wisthak?), one goes from the shaman guild to the middle area with the vendors (Basher Kigak) and one spawns up on the ledge near the open area by the warrior guild (Basher Ganbaku maybe? Not sure now). The XP is incredible because you're non-stop killing and a charmed uberguard will take out 4-5 regular ones or so. You can then zone out to let it heal to full or, as I did, just kill it and go charm the next uberguard. Only guards will assist, none of the vendors or guildmasters should interfere as long as you keep troll illusion up. Remember there's a few guards in out of the way spots like the froglok prison tunnels near the herbalist vendors, one on top of that little weapon/armor mall in the middle of town, two in the bank, and one in the shadowknight guild at the end of the first tunnel. You can also kill Carver Cagrek or whatever (by the butcher thingy outside the bank). He has the HP of an uberguard and the damage of a normal guard, doesn't drop as good loot, and is only worth killing if you ran out of regular guards. Towards the end I was clearing out every guard in the zone, making a level every 2-3 hours all the way up to 51. The hellish level 45 took an afternoon.
