Try the area near the zone(s) in Frontier Mountains. If you zone in from
Lake of Ill Omen near the Sarnak Fortress, go straight until the ground
drops. Head down the slope and park off to the right. From the relatively
flat area near the two big stones you can pull almost non-stop with a good
group. You will be killing Mountain Giants, Burnai's (moles), Beasts
(apes), and goblins (necro ones (bonecallers) are nasty as are the cleric
ones (cenobites)). The exp will fly too. I made it through 33 in about 2-3
days (maybe 15 hours total) fighting BLUES mind you...

In that time frame we also killed four of the MG's with 2H weapons with
goofy names... hehe I ended up with a 2HS pick that's bard-usable, but of
course our 2HS skills never improve from 1. The MG Tumps rarely drop Tump
Stumps which are used in the Druidic Beguile Plant spell quest.

Anyway, pull carefully and you will rake in the exp. Of course the zone is
right near by in case you don't pull carefully... =8^)
