Root-dotting 49-60
Since the pet EXP nerf I've found it somewhat simpler to root-dot on my shaman rather than to tank. In recent levels I've been soloing in the Emerald Jungle (I also group, but sometimes I need to solo), which has been nice because (1) there's pretty much no competition, (2) single non-caster pulls are plentiful, and (3) there are safe spots along the edge of the map. More and more of the monsters have been turning light blue, though, so I'm wondering where to go next. Any suggestions?

If you are using root rot then you should move into higher Zone Experience Modifier locations.
Check out: http://wiki.project1999.org/index.ph...s_and_ZEM_List Based on these numbers and your level it may be beneficial to look into The Hole, Sebilis, Karnors, or Skyfire. The Hole in particular as you do not need to run around much to kite per se and has a very high ZEM. Also as a bonus the drops of mercury are very valuable for dwarven cultural smiths. | ||

The Hole is still good; invis past the first 6 of which some can be wizards. Then you should be able to grab singles in the open areas before the castle and the few roamers.

Since you're already in EJ, I suggest you check out City of Mist. Can be crowded at peak times, but it's full of non-caster mobs that are easy to split or pull single. Plenty of safe areas, too.

The mobs get higher in level as you move through the zone. Heck, I know a Druid who root-rotted there a lot up to 60.
At 49, the stables will probably be competely light blue. You could try the temple, the houses behind each courtyard, or the mobs along the moat in front of the castle. You'll have to split some of the spawns, but you generally have plenty of room so root-parking one shouldn't be a problem. Also, the only casters I've encounted thus far have been the Iksar ghosts that occasionally proc a lifetap, similar to spectres. Nothing to be concerned about even if you were tanking them. | ||

root/rotting in KC is easy. outdoor zone=harmo. at 49 you might want to stick to the zone in. but you can pull to the sides of the moat so you dont get trained. after a few levels, you can move to the box room. obviously root/rotting gets a lot better at 52, since thats the most efficient dot you get (the 53 dot is a waste for exping, imo). at 52/53 the box room should be good, except that the skele bezerkers will give u a hard time til as high as 56/57, the other mobs will be great exp and a chance at drops.
don't see why you couldn't root/rot something like perma pits, but its out of the way. root/rotting the undead tower basement (just the four skele mobs in basement) was how i spent most of my time at 59. was a consistent group of kills with a fast repop and no casters, the only hard part is getting down there solo to bind yourself, thats takes creativity. i'd stay outa seb unless you are 55+ and really have a ton of resist gear. even at that, its gunna be rough with so many shaman/wiz mobs around. you could solo the ent of HS. zone in fully buffed and with full mana, and either invis or IVU, and run straight for the stairs. again, dont try this at lvl 50, lol. you can get unlucky and take two HT's when you zone, so it can be rough, but otherwise nice exp and easy pulls. you can also invis run around chardok root/rotting golems and janisaries at higher lvls, but you want to avoid the casters, esp the ones that summon not so sure skyfire is a good idea, lol | ||
