Finally managed to get another lvl on my paladin, at 49 now, halfway 50.
I was in Gorukar Mesa, doing the armour quests there although none were replacements I could use but anyway. Slow but steady xp, not many drops but some of the items dropped do vendor for over 20pp each. Got about 800 pp, definitely not bad.
After that, I started to roam through Norrath. Somehow I thought there was a fairly decent zone I could level in past the Paludal Caverns. Ofcourse, there aren't that many zones near there for a lvl 49, but going through the Grimling Fores, I did end up in the Tenebrous Mountains, where I spent some time on Sunday butchering the vampires. Darkblue named mobs there, a bit tricky but not impossible. Drops are only coterie materials, I doubt the market is still strong for those.
After that, I decided to roam some more, managed to really find a corner in the middle of nowhere and after I found myself in the Grieg, on the wrong end, I just used a gate potion. I also discovered that Keg Keep isn't the only underwater zone, luckily the zoneline was nearbye.
Fun, but ultimately a bit of a waste of time. Apart from Grieg, I never encountered anyone.
