I jerked around in there on my monk around lvl 28 or so, and there was a TON of mobs there to kill. I can see kerra being an amazing xp spot for a group or even to PL.
The city in the back probably leads the old world in mobs per square inch. Possible to get some *huge* pulls from back there

Yeah, we just had our bard running aoe mez song and set up in the fire pit, or later on in the castle with High Priestess Mitty. The mobs basically pull themselves. Ended up leveling from 14 to 23 there.

Did you know that High Priestess Mitty drops the Copper *and* Gold Rings for the Paw of Opolla quest? Wiki sure didn't! (It seems to think that the current Mitty is the "new" Mitty.)

type it into the wiki, theres a ZEM zone list... if not, just think of popular leveling zones, its basically those + Kedge Keep [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Not really.

Befallen, Solusek's Eye, Najena, and Kaesora all have solid ZEMs (over 100, compared to the base outdoor ZEM of 75). Befallen's ZEM is one of the highest of the game, in fact, at 160. Najena's is also very good at 130, and it's usually empty.

City of Mist, one of the most popular leveling zones in the game, has a mediocre 85 ZEM, as does Karnor's Castle.

Popular leveling zones are a tautological loop. They are popular because everyone is there, and everyone is there because they are popular.

I rolled up a ranger and soloed in there. It's kind of annoying. Like it was said, the level ranges are all over the place. There are lots of green wanderers that will attack you while you sit, so you constantly have to kill them just so you can med.

The loot is decent for the level, but the trivial loot code mixed with wide level ranges makes gear drops problematic. I did manage to loot a bunch of pit fighter ankle wraps and gloves. There wasn't any market for them though.

The one good thing about it is that erudite alts now have something to do

I get trivial loot code messages all the time on R99. I went in there with my druid thinking I would be able to farm stuff, and it didn't work. That's why I moved an alt in there.

Is it worth checking out as a level 23 monk who likes to solo? I've been looking for Kurns v2 but I don't know it would be worth it to travel all the way out there if I would only be able to spend a level or two there.

probably not worth the travel at 23. you'd be able to eek out a couple more levels killing The Cave Bat Lord and The Mighty Bear Paw and the other top tier nameds in the zone, but you'd run out of steam pretty quick.

--

maybe people just don't understand The Warrens. there's a right path and a left path when you zone in, as you go up in levels you need to go back and forth down the separate paths in order to find mobs in your level range. if you run into too many red cons just turn around and go as far as you can the other way. rinse, repeat. i might write a detailed guide soon. it seriously is the most well designed newbie zone once you understand the place. very logical progression with something to kill from level 4 to the low 20s.
