    Not sure if it was said between page 5 and here (got sick of reading the ridiculous back and forth) but one such instance Ved-something-or-other was being vague about is the Ixali camp north of Treespeak node. If you have a light party from 34-39 you'll do all right but if you have 2-3 people max there from 39-44ish you will get a lot of exp with quick kills. You could also split your team up into 2 teams there. One team (preferably smaller) fights on the ledge above the camp, the other team fights in the heart of the camp.

    Hope this helps!

    Was actually going to try those Ixali's tonight or tomorrow. Is the respawn rate pretty fast?

    Also, there seem to be more even further north (according to yg). Are those any good?

    I haven't tried the ones further north. The respawn at the camp is pretty good but you can be left around waiting ~30seconds for repops sometimes if you bring too many people. The ones on the ledge are lower levels (40-45 I think) and the ones in the camp are higher (up to 48 or 49).

    As 7 people R32-35 we would clear the camp, use Return to go to Treespeak node and then clear some Efts/Ixali on the ledge/boars until the camp would fully respawn. We managed ~24k SP/hr. I'd suggest having 3 of those (healer+2DD) to just hang on the ledge and kill those while the other 4 hang in the camp though. The higher the level the less you should bring. 4 or 5 people max R37-39, we just sat around and waited 30sec to kill repops, was slower SP/hr. Duo/trio there 39-44 would be ideal.

    ok because i said id comment on this camp

    yes i have used it, BUT its one of those camps where there just arent enough good close mobs to keep it going. you end up either running a long time to transition between the 3 "camps" the ixalis spawn at(and they are in no way close to each other, 2 are up top on opposite ends of the crystal and 1 is below) and what ends up happening, is you are running so much you are losing out on sp that could be gained better at another camp.

    granted this is a nice relaxed camp you can still earn 15k sp an hour at even at rank 42 or so, if you justs it in the lower camp(the upper camps have rank 40 mobs, the lower camp has high 40s mobs)
    but it isnt the camp i was thinking of
