PoR is perhaps the worst expansion in EQ, and this is one of PoR's worst zones. I am sure there is someone out there who enjoyed their time in this zone, but it wasn't me. Mob difficulty is all over the map, lots of random AE's and AE affects from catapults and mobs, and very difficult to judge aggro on pulls. Did I mention the proliferation of mostly useless quest drops and lack of loot? I have not met anyone who likes to xp in this zone, they go for their saga skins spells (or the other equivalent task, whose names escapes me) and leave as soon as possible
I just have right now a Bolvirk in my target called Jarl Kernal. As I am just here to forage I cant tell you more than that, because the easiest mob here is yellow to me )) Perhaps someone can sometmes add more information to him.

What would you consider to be the best exp zone out of this expansion and the Serpent's SPine for AA grinding? Just curious to where people go to AA/exp grind now-a-days.
Hey all, just as a heads up, some of the trash mobs are now casting a DD 7500 AE spell. In one session (and several deaths!) we pulled Fury's, Undead soldiers, Barbarians and they all cast the same spell. It must be a bug (currently i have sent 2 bug reports. Nothing mentioned yet by SoE so im not holding my breath on this one.
Completed this mission today, it's not actually that bad, any of the named in the zone count towards the 3 you kill, just clear in as fast as possible. We had the rogue character train things away as the group ran towards the 3rd giant named towards Vox lair. Sped things up a little bit, King Sverag was also rather easy, with a 7.4k blood elixir its easy to keep any of the characters up. 6 crystals dropped, along with a ring, was like 120 hp with some stats, going to try again to get the item link for sure.
Both are red (colored) yellow con (to 70) shiliskin, who had spawned in the western region of the zone, in a group of about 15-20.
Update: I don't know how long they were up for beforehand, but within 10 minutes of spotting them the first time, Vooersalor the Crafty had spawned nearby in his trademark fort with a Ballista, and all but one stonemason had despawned.
