Well - they do not simply "poof" at 7am. I need to look again but I have
seen that some mobs linger thru the day. Even going to the ranger place at
10am - I see EnragedDreadWolf (bad wolfie) patrol near the path and some bad
skellie is pathed near there as well - you have to be heads up and avoid em.
But essentially, players try something and if they are not sucessful - give
up (like me and kiting or me and charming - but hey I am getting better.)

I had great xp time in Kith and if I could get 2 tanks, cleric, caster,
druid or sha - we could sit at the WC zone and have great time - good xp for
mid 30's. At Rivervale, there are so many mobs - it really takes 2 groups
to hold it thru a night's attack.

Also, there are spots that these mid to upper levels avoid because of the
danger: Sea Fury Clops in OOT, Deep Water Goblins in Lake Rathe. Like Kith
too hard - esp for those who 'grew up' in HighKeep where all you do is beat
mobs senseless then wait for the next spawn. Where is there any tactics
required?

Plenty of mobs

Less bang for the buck. A L40 enraged black wolf can
eliminate an
entire party of L35s. For a group of L45s, the wolf is
still a very
tough fight. Too tough for the exp given. In the time it
takes to
find + kill those undead, you could have killed 2 or 3
sonic bats
in SolB. When 7am clicks, poof undead go ahead and you
are stuck
waiting until nightfall. It's not worth the time spent.

pimp.'
