dunno if I wanna waste our time in there at low levels again if the runes are gone. never did the zone prenerf so didn't even know about runes dropping at loower levels.
1) PH's are not 60+. A named in these expeditions is always higher than it's respective PH. At 66 the mobs in this expedition (had a level 50 toon start the expedition to farm runes) were green and the named were light blue. Had they been 60+ they would have been dark blue.
2) The murkgliders in this instance are undead you can easily IVU up to the PH's. So it is rather easy to take 2-3 people in and hunt the areas near the PH's.
my mistake. You are right in that the ph's are slightly lower level than the named.
What i should have said was that (like u said) these are Instanced zones so the mob's level will be close to the average level of group. Thus this cannot be solo'd (easily) because a lvl 70 entering zone will spawn a much higher than lvl 50 named.
