Halls of Honor

This is just another idea of SoE's attempts at a joke imo. 62-65 the exp is decent, but after that you'll have better luck hunting pretty much ANYWHERE as compared to here. You have to be doing massive amounts of killing here to get good exp post 65, and as over camped as it is, being the only 65+ hotzone, that's a hard thing to do w/o ticking people off.
This batch of hotzones was pretty horrible period, but this one kind of sums them up.
Mistmoore, 20... hrmm, not bad if you're a well twinked toon, but my preference is to go straight to Warsilk Woods, which I believe they made the 35 hotzone... There's another joke... At level 27 most mobs are light blue at best, so I normally go from 17 to about 25 here. Next stop... Dawn Shroud Peaks... The zones between that are either too tough to too easy for decent exp. If you aren't a twink, temp and ds pots are your friend here as always, and ds pots must be your friend here anyways if you come at 25 as I do. I forget, but the deformed horse looking things are easy to kill, no adds, but they run so hopefully you can either do some dps quickly when they run or root/snare them. I prefer root because it means they continue to beat on you and your ds does all the work. Now, I slowly work my way towards the hopper cave starting at the GE zl. About 37 I'll start looking for a hopper group, unless you're like my necro and finds a way to solo them at 37. Then, about 40ish I head to Velks. One of two of the only zones I feel deserve the title "hotzone". The zones pretty good, has various level mobs, and is overall a very interesting experience. The deep... oh I hate this zone... I get the mask and shard if my toon needs those items, but otherwise I go from 50-52 here and if I can get out earlier I do. Now on to Droga... Only other hotzone imo. Good level range, something like 43-61 on the mobs, so you can, and most likely will, spend a good deal of time here. Drops are rewarding in certain areas as well as the hotzone items. You do get tired of staring at goblins and spiders after weeks upon weeks of leveling alts through the 50's though. Then NC. *sigh* This zone is something else... Basically the mobs are almost as tough as the WoS mobs, but con lower and have less chance of dropping something valuable, albeit there are some VERY nice 60ish items that drop here for those that can't get better or just need something to carry them over until they upgrade at 65. Tough zone, and again, I get out as soon as possible and head to HoH when I can get 85'd in or I reach 62. Problem being, once you get into the upper 60's there's no 70 hotzone atm, and HoH doesn't cut it, period. No real drop table here except for parchments, and even BoT has a better drop rate on them. At 68 almost everything turns light blue and it takes a very quick killing group for it to be worth your time. WoS at that point is a better alternative, about the same regular exp, but slightly better aa exp. Loots, runes, etc made it possibly the best hotzone lately, but sadly no more.
Anyways, sorry about that late night vent session (it's 5am, waiting on a spawn atm), but I feel it's time that SoE puts it in the players hands about what should be the new hotzones. Maybe do a survey and go from there, because I can guarantee you HoH, Warsilk, and most of the other current hotzones wouldn't be hotzones now, not to mention they wouldn't be for the level they supposedly are for.

Someone posted thaat a Rabid Wrulan, a Recuso Degenerate, and Undead Inhabitant dropped Ornate Leather Glove and Wrist Patterns. I farmed these mobs for 4 hours tonight and not a single drop other then Serverwide loots; such as the new tradeskill items. Please fix this so someone else doesn't waste their time =/

Eldon Starkorp. Dark blue to level 65. immune to snare. Was told he doesn't summon but could not confirm.

ran into a lvl 65 mob named Alden Koden in the NE basement in the room past Anthone Chapin.

didnt get to kill him, but i know that he summons, which is fun, because i was there with my wizzy..heh

i wish i had more info on him, i will post more as i get it

Nope both factions are on seperate. Don't ask me why but I am still indiferent in pov. Max Kos in hoh.

There is also a level 72ish mob at the north shrine in the same relative position also Valorian Guardian something.
These guys epic related?
Hit my monk for up to 1650 btw.

Where in the south shrine was this guy? Was he in the area with the 3 new mobs?

New mob in SE basement named Anthone Chapin, level 62 or 63. Its a human model just like the Valorian guards, guardians, and sentry models.

He is indifferent to all apparently and doesn't assist other mobs on pulls. I assume he is part of a class epic 1.5 or 2.0, but he wouldn't respond to hails of a shaman, warrior, or druid. He does turn in the direction of the person hailing, but other than that no response.

would a paladin be kos here? the screen shots of the mobs look like pallies, so would they attack one of their own?

'A Protector of Valor' <- needs to be added to the list above.

Dark blue con to 65.

Does not summon.

Mini-wrulon, about the size of the DC pets at entrance, which can spawn near the path on the way to the NE basement (Rydda`Dar trial).

It shares the same spawn point as Wrulon Guards.

If you are walking towards the NE basement, go past the first four wrulons and you will reach an area which has two wrulons on one side, and two guardians of marr on the other.
This mob will spawn in the place of the left wrulon.

Hits about the same as Wrulon Guards, but the only difference is it isn't snareable/rootable, and only partially slowable.

Just to aggregate some info about trials triggers:
Trial #1 (Rydda`Dar) trigger: Trydan Faye
Trial #2 (Villagers) trigger: Rhaliq Trell
Trial #3 (Nomads) trigger: Alekson Garn

A Valiant Spirit is incorectly denoted as monster in bestiary - its actually undead and cab be slowed with necro undead slow (partially) also undead nuke works on these. The white variety which are much more rare than black drop Windblade and the Girdle of Mithaniel (sp?). First two of white variety I encountered - first dropped Windblade, 2nd dropped the Girdle - suffice to say we visited them on a number of occassions. None have dropped since - think we just got lucky that day.

both these items dropped 27/10/03
