Does anyone have a list of the current "hot" zones?

Thank you

50 - 55 Griegs
55 - 60 Chardok
60 65(?) Torment

Are all I know also sorry

I have never really spent much, maybe a few hours, in Torment. Do you think a 65 bst of average+ gear could solo there? I seem to remember there being alot of 2+ pulls on the bridge-ways past the ravens at the zone in.

60-65 Plane of Torment
55-60 Chardok
50-55 Grieg's End
45-50 Nurga
40-45 City of Mist
35-40 Kaesora
30-35 Dalnir
25-30 Hollowshade Moor
20-25 Runnyeye

I would speculate this this will change at tomorrow's patch.

Yep thems the ones.

I am in City of Mist and it really sucked until I learned the stables is the place to be if you start there at level 40. With a group by the way.

When I saw folks in their low 50's hunting here and they were not after the reavers, I was not surprised to see such a wide range of levels on the mobs in that small space.

I think CoM is worse than Paludal Caverns.

I've done a lot of farming in this zone and other then the ravens at the zone in and some roamers, pretty much everything comes in 2 or more.

I did most of level 60 in GE. I estimate it took me about 2 hours to do the entire level in a full group. Level 61 is going quickly as well. I estimate about 4 hours in a full group in GE will take care of it.

If you have some way of single pulling I highly highly recommend GE. Nothing runs.

Well Pofire is a hot zone for exp, PoTorment isnt (not even with whatever boost they gave it).

Yeah, GE is a hotspot. I heard someone was getting 3% AA XP per kill, 30-40 second kills, not sure what level though. I might try it out sometime.

GE is great at level 59 with a full group I got a little sigh of a full yellow worth of exp in an hour. It made level 59 go so much faster.

Also GE is a very fun zone to exp in.

Hm, Torment is a hot zone? Doesn't seem all that spectacular solo, although it's steady xp at 70 - I'm getting about 3% AA per kill. I've mostly been soloing there for a couple of quest drops, it doesn't really seem worth it as an xp camp. (The 20k hp clerics are fairly irritating.)

I am not to sure about this but I think to get the HotSpot EXP bonus you need to be in a group.

Aeluder · October 13, 2004, 05:38:41 AM

How do people find out what the hot spots are? Does sony print it?

shnaggle · October 13, 2004, 05:46:11 AM

I beleive as soon as you enter the zone a message will indicate that the zone is a "Hot Spot". Also I beleive that you have to be in the intended level range to get the Hot Spot EXP.
