Hell Lvls

Ok im lvl 63 and i am fighting in BoT through the PoT and everything there cons white to me. But when i kill stuff there i only get 1% xp a kill. I have all my xp going towards regular xp and its just me my merc and pet and still only get 1% xp a kill dont understand it. Anyone have any idea why this is happening???

The xp per kill in bastion of thunder is garbage, go elsewhere. You might give Grieg's End a try or maybe even plane of nightmare; both are hotzones. You could try Kod'Taz but the mobs tend to hit like trucks and the xp there is really bad considering it's a hotzone.

The place to go is The Hole..

Mobs are pussies and you can even get straight to the bottom temple via Brell's Rest.

They will be much much quicker kills than mobs in BoT. They will start out dark blue in the bottom at your level but will go to light blue by around 66 but are still worth it then.

My pet shammy gets 7 AAs per lesson at 68 with a merc tank and 400AAs.

BTW Borek (see eq forums) tells me that you now don't die if you jump into the Hole - not tried it - is he telling porkies? Perhaps someone will tell me!

He speaks the truth, it was scary the first time, but you fall into the water now and don't go splat.

They also unlocked the rock-door at the front entrance. No more key or squeezing through anymore.

You're missing the point. A white con in BoT isn't the same as a white con in PoEarth as a white con in the Hole etc. What you've neglected is the Zone Experience Modifier (ZEM). The ZEM gives a plus or minus values to kills within a zones to either boost or retard the exp given by a specific mob. So there ISN'T a concrete answer to "how much exp should i get for a XXXXX con mob". You have to either ask (you did, and got good advice) or just go find out for yourself where the best places to hunt at your level are. Don't get hung up on what the mob con's to you; just figure out where the best EXP is.

There is no way to give an accurate answer to this question. Not all mobs are equal even if they are the same level. There's something called the ZEM (zone experience modifier) for each and every zone. Each zone has a different ZEM and therefor all mobs in different zones will give different amounts of XP/aaxp.

There's also the issue of killing fewer higher level mobs is not always the best way of getting xp/aaxp. In general (not always, just most of the time) it's better to kill lots of light/dark blue mobs solo during a lesson burn than it is to kill a few yellow/red con mobs with a merc. Here's an example of what I'm talking about. When I play my baby sk (level 69) and burn lesson in the hole it's pretty easy to get 9-10 aa's in 30 minutes; all the mobs in there are light blue. However I'm now working the Jonas aug in TBS now (which is a hotzone for the level). Even going all out solo on the easier islands the best I could manage was 5 aa's due to the low ZEM.

So your "xp per kill against a white mob" really means nothing but you should rather be asking how much xp over a certain period of time should you be getting.

And on top of that there are Hot Zones.

Hotzones are not always the best xp/aaxp. I would take the hole over TBS even though TBS is a current hotzone. I would also do splitpaw at say 81 over Thallassius even though Thallassius is a hotzone. However since splitpaw goes green/grey at 83 I'd say go to Thallassius at 83-85 over the hole. If you have the gear and aa's I'd even recommend places like Beza over Thallassius sometimes.
