No - like I said, Katta was solo (i.e. no merc).

I just did a better comparison check, Ashengate.

Merc: 6% (as above)
Solo: 11%

Which is fair, as the merc takes roughly 40% (50% of 119%).

Which means that at 87, and probably at least 85-87, Ashengate > Katta > Beza > Zeka/MG. But there's not a lot between Beza/Zeka/MG.

Katta says : solo: 8%, I like this zone!

Your comparison doesn't make sense Avno. The % AA fro Beza and Zeka are with mercs, while the Katta comparison is without mercs. That means Zeka and Beza should both give more per kill than Katta without a merc.

Also, I think the Zeka vs Beza comparision might be backwards. I've been hunting in both of them, and I'm positive that Zeka gives more per kill, as the Zeka mobs tend to be a couple levels higher.

The numbers are percentage level exp per lesson, not AA per kill. So therefore it says that I level faster in Katta than in Zeka. I only use a merc where I have to - in the SoF zones, there are large enough clumps of mobs that I can't keep up with self healing.

That's why Katta and AG are done without a merc, and Beza/Zeka/MG with.

Don't look at xp/kill, look at xp over time. Would you rather kill 10 mobs at 1%/kill in 30 minutes or 50 mobs at 0.5%/kill in 30 minutes.

That's why I always use exp/lesson as a benchmark. It also prevents me for stretching it for "just one more kill", which would bias in favour of places I like, or ones with higher exp/kill.

Feerrott is OK, and soloable at 91, but way overcrowded and fairly easy to get some overpulls.

At 91+ I personally like CoB, outside the city walls, all the animals, even named, aren't KoS, and almost always single pulls, just roam around killin em. At 91 you probably have to have a merc, but at 95 you can solo there. Also it's a decent spot to LFG, pretty popular group grind xp zone.

I'm trying to finish the Gyrospire Relocation quest but I can't pick up the damned dead fish in Kedge Keep..... It's there I can see it but I can't pick it up. I've been there twice now. Logged out in between, no shrink, no lev, no invis, infact I took all buffs off and suspended the pet but I can't click it!

I've got the hard to find ones (the tip is to turn the gamma setting right up) but this one's got me stumped.

Can anyone suggest a solution other than petitioning?
