After the Dragonbearers in DV, I'm stuck. Theres certainly stuff I can kill (Vanor Stilenos, Cemetery, Forsaken Plain, etc) but, so far, it all sucks. All of these things are LESS exp than the high 40s Dragonbearers, which is dumb. Especially since I can one shot the DBs and not this other stuff. Suggestions please!
52+ SH/SpS: where to hunt?

All I know for mages is Cem till about 58 then goto FG.
I was getting 18% an hour on Wack3d in the cem up the back at level 58, didnt really try much else sorry

Which mobs were you killing in the Cemetery? I tried the cemetery and was killing those punishment of undead (BM coin drops) and roving souls and whatnot but I had to 2 shot them for less xp than the DBs. My exp rate was sucking. I think at higher levels it reaches the point where you can one shot (I certainly saw a sorc of some unknown level one shotting them) but two shotting less xp is sucky.

The Orc supply captains at the back I was targeting
2 Nukes with the 2nd being overhit 6.5K - 8K XP per mob, drops pay for BSPS costs and you get ok mat drops.
They are in little squares of 4. As a SH as I would kill the 4th the first would be respawning. If its quiet I stand between 2 squares and kill from both.

hmmm such a bind your in, 2 shotting mobs for 5k+ xp.. :p :p :p
nah never took my necro past 52 yet, but in c2, valenor silenos area was da bomb!!! got my stiletto drop from them too.
As coco said cem is prob best as its got a good concentration of mobs in small area. After a cple more levels it prob gets more efficient and worth the trouble.
Also maybe ask the other big mages in the alliance with vil.

Do you mean the Taik Orc Seekers that are to the left and right as soon as you enter the Cemetery from the West (when coming from Aden)? Or are there other orcs there somewhere?

I take wack3d to the back of cemetery near Forbidden gateway and kill the orc captains? i think they are about 6.8k XP 2 shots. I started in the front of the cemetery killing the little orcs. At about 54 ish went to the back but i could have done it sooner.Past cemetry is a little better but there are aggro archers. If anyone knows anywhere better then let me know.

If you mean the Taik Orc Supply Leaders, then yes, I've found them. They're only about 5k xp though. I don't recall seeing any captains?
Post 10

Post 11

Post 12
Well at 48-53 I was getting 5k from a one hit mob instead of at 53+ where I'm getting 5.5k from a 2 hit mob.

vilnya unfortunately xp will never be as good as it was when you were lower lvls you just have to get used to it.
I used to go up .08% for a seal angel, now .01% :(

I'm not so concerned about the levelling rate getting slower. What annoys me is that higher level mobs give less absolute exp and take more effort to kill. Why should a level 47 mob give 4500 xp and some level 56 mobs I know give 3800? Neither mob is exceptional in terms of ability.
The biggest problem with this game is that the exp system is retarded. Big groups are penalized and you're rewarded for bottomfeeding (ie killing greens). There is no incentive for, say, killing reds. It's retarded.

Yeah xp curve is retarded also.
The only saving grace for groups is that you get an xp bonus with each member that joins the group, and if you have a full 9 man party you get a little extra xp bonus on top again.
But yeah farming greens is the most efficient, ie mobs are easiest and there's no xp penalty. You're right there's no incentive to kill reds anymore(for xp anyways.)
