Been in Gunthak the past couple of days (awesome zone, love bein able to get groups easily, haven't figured out where to solo though) but I've also been told that doin druids/rangers in WC is good xp/cash at that level. Now, cash is always a good thing as I am still a k or 2 short of pickin up my earring of the solstice, among other needed gear upgrades (still without any shoulder slot item :(). Do you guys think that the xp in WC is comparable to XP in Gunthak, and if not is the cash well worth the difference? Can anyone give me a better estimate on how much cash i'll be able to make in WC? Thanks in advance for everyone's responses.

Hehe, back in the day, when i had my old human Necro (my first character, everyone said humans were the easiest to play...give me a break lol) I absolutely loved the druids in WC. Dropped finesteel everytime and the druid merchant right there would buy em off ya. I was even able to solo my first HG there, dropped about 40pp in cash and 2 FS 2handers, i dont' know how he managed that one.
Exp is nice there, albeit two static spawns. It's easy to break too. Just try to get the druids aggro befoer they start to buff themselves when they pop. Makes it a lot easier when they don't have SoW on em.
I've never done any of the LoY zones yet. Hoping to take Thraxxor there in a week or so.

Gunthak was absolutely the best for me. If you go to the back of the beach you will find an unlimited supply of non-roaming single pull undead mobs that drop decent plat... I solo'd from 34-41 there.. great zone..
Heres sequence:
Darkness
Root
Venom
Enternities Torment/Boil Blood (depending on if they were UD or Not)
You may need to recast Root if they break it before you finish dotting.. Then once you are done dotting, rest until they break Root again, then when they break it, send in Pet (turn off taunt) and just run in an oval with the pet whacking at its back... You may want to cast some Spirit Tap or Torbas' Acid here and there to make it go quicker.
Rarely does Darkness drop before mob is dead, Especially the Non-UD mobs since they will retreat at <20% HP, unless you are <50% HP. But be sure to keep an eye on it, because it can happen.

Great, thanks for the responses both of you, but can you give me any kind of an estimate on how much cash you brought away while you were there?

Gunthak seemed to pull about 100+- pp/hour between coin and lewt. IMO was the best lewt/XP zone for this level I could find.
After that, you can go to the next zone over, Dulak. I killed 5 mobs once and got an Emerald ring (61pp at NPC), and Mantle of Stealth(100pp in Baz), plus about 5pp in coin per mob. Stick to the front corrider and you should be fine. and if things get hairy, its easy to zone.

Gunthak you can also pet tank the undead. 39 undead slow is big step up but can be done before. Snare, slow, dot, send pet with taunt on. Med and soak up xp. Besides the plat and rare gem drops a big plus is the bonechips. Save a couple of bags full in bank and you are set for a long, long time.

Hehe still have a trader's satchel FULL of bonechips in the bank from spending a couple levels in Kurn's :). Thanks for the suggestions everyone, went to WC last night and tried the druids after doing Gunthak for a little while and although the xp isn't quite as good, the loot is amazing so I'm probably going to level enought here to finish buying my earring of the solstice and then get out of town :).
