Might help you, add the missing info you get to the wiki in exanche plz!

[ahpook]

1500 kills in Ataraxia's Haven gets you 12,912 XP
100 kills in Menechtarun gets 1090 XP

[Clawstorm]

Sorrowdusk is lvls 4-11, not 7-11

[Conejo]

thanks for the info and corrections.

updated.

[wemery73]

thanks for the info

[jkm]

for gianthold

the 3000 (cap) is 30870
#8 is lord jax (fire giant)

[Conejo]

updated.

[jkm]

verifying that 400 was the slayer cap for ww for 1770

[jkm]

the second level in the desert is 385

[jkm]

750 in the desert is 6370

[B_Moses]

750 is the slayers cap for searing heights

Where does Hazai Drop?

[Falcone]

Nice work on this post, here's a few more details to fill in:

All three Desert Slayer quests cap at 3000 kills. At 1500, the XP awarded is 13,630. At 3000, it is 27,990.

The complete list of Rare Encounters I have is:

Stinkpelt
Yurrugh the Swift
Den Mother Fheena
Lieutenant Ayurro
Commander Errulf
Haraja The Firedancer
Vorvand Darkfur
Utach Sandcrawl
Wokran-Kull
Volrune the Curate
Mendaxethazz
Thumok the Mad
Palumak the Scourer
General Tanakh
Whirling Ozann
The Thirsty One

I didn't do all the math, but I believe this makes the Desert worth almost the same total as the Gianthold Ruins.

Falcone

[Karranor]

Anyone know where rare 6, 8 and 9 are in Searing Heights?

Thanks!

[Conejo]

thanks for all the extra info.
updated.

the only piece of info i do not have for the current setup is the 1500 Slayer XP in Gianthold.
with that everything will be current.

if someone has that info, sooner than later would be appreciated as i will be on hiatus starting early september until december due to work constraints.

[Conejo]

thanks to Falcone for getting me the last bits of info.

if/when new zones come out before i get back in December, i believe he'll be picking up my slack either in this or another thread.

Has anyone thought about leveling a character solely through adventure areas? What quests are mandatory to run now, other than sully's grog? Conceptually you could get to lv11 without ever having run a quest... for some reason the thought amuses me.

[Matto]

What an awesome resource. Thank-you so much.

Not quite need 200K to get to level 7 (min level on Ataraxia's Haven). Add all exp from adventure areas with lower min level then 7 you get 89,256K exp only.

max exp very top heavy. 75% of it comming just from desert and giant hold.
