At 61 with new pet you should find Charasis (howling stones) pretty enjoyable. Depending on which wing you get to, you may even get some decent exp. Well maybe not decent, but exp none the less. You need to kill the chancellor in LoIO sarnak fort for his prod and then head to Kaesora for Xalgoz for the Tooth (nodrop), all of this to be turned into Durgoz in Swamp of no hope for key to HS.
On HS zone you will find 2 roaming mobs, both usually in agro range. If your lucky you will get 2 undead, though dont count on it. Zone prepared to deal with 1 of each. I head in with Virtue, hit one with ST and charm the other. If all goes bad fd or have DMF up and run of the edge and gate or fd. Once mobs are dead your all set. Unless you have master key you'll need to start from 1st wing. Key drops from the floating sperm. Tallow marked candle, norent. 1st wing is North I think. North, West, South, East. Each progressively harder than the last. At 61 I had gate, ST, FD, shackle of spirit,Shadowbond, lifetap and DD up as a must. Some quick selling drops all through HS and lots of fun to be had.
Old Seb's always a good pp earner. Gems and drops.
Velks at Frenzy is ok. Silks, Velium and SCHW. Some rarer drops of named at FZ also.
Veksar is tough at 61. Tough to hold named camps. Once you hit 64 and have Touch of death its all downhill from there. DC is nice but without some decent pet healing it can be a tough ask.
Hope that helps you some.

glauron I went to howling stones per your suggestion, not cause im 61 (im 65) but because i had never been there. Hunted for a bit, pretty tough at times, Dark blue adds can chew thru your Pet, some can't be mezzed becuase they arent really undead. Plus, i killed some golems while i was there, didnt have choice. only hunted there for a little bit but when i procced my weapon back to OT, i wasnt welcomed there like i once was which really kinda irks me.

WARNING, if you want to hunt howling stones, you will more then likely screw up your Overthere outpost faction. this is a big deal for me since i like to bank there and other things.

Second, I think they did a zone revamp a while back, things can be tricky, certainly not the small agro radius that veksar has.

Well JAnarr, everything comes at a price. I never said it was easy, only enjoyable. If your serious about hunting a new zone theres plenty of sites around you can check, for faction hits, zone strategies, mob guides etc.....
As for the undead thing, well there's plenty of them in HS but not all. Can't be mezzed Janarr? Why not use Screaming terror? Its really quite easy to control adds here once you learn the lay of the land so to speak.
ST is good on mobs to 55 which means you can use on 99% of mobs in this zone with little or no resists.
The revamp was quite a while back.
You can single pull most mobs here(Well the first and second wings anyway.....North and West), and if your really worried use rest the dead for the first wing at least. Its good to mobs at 45 I think.
Yet again, if your serious about your hunting, do the homework before you dive in.

HS was my B*tch not to long ago, I can't really imagine a 65 necromancer having a problem in that zone. A good old friend of mine (in ToV gear) trampled through that place NP...screw OT faction. POK book plsthx!
