Try the Treants and Ravens in PoN around the graveyard when you zone in. Once xp slows down there, try gargoyles on the other side of PoN.

A fine place for necs is Veksar. Your slow undead spell, IVU, and other undead damage spells and such work very nicely here. You could easily solo stuff from the front end of the undead mobs up to tougher camps into the early 60s with decent xp...and the AA xp is still pretty good for my necro there at 65. Same goes for the undead in Nadox. Higher lvl mobs made doable because you can slow them.

/agreed on Veskar and Nadox. Nadox hidden hallway zone-in is a great place to start. Easy to root rot till you clear enough room to kite, then work it up the hallway by killing patrolling guards and pulling from the adjacent room off the left side from zone in. Exp prolly better in PoN but killing seems more steady Nadox and the zone out can come in handy as a backup to FD.

Veskar also fun and lots of opportunity to crawl and kill. Veskar also good to try to get Words of Agony and Asylum for Dead Men Floating spell combine.

Charasis (Howling Stones) is a very good spot for the mid 50s, and the key is easy enough to get.

The lightcrawlers in PoD are really good xp at that level, higher then ravens in PoN. Just stay away from the defilers, they are casters and occasionally will cast a darkness on you. I'd be fighting there right now only the zone messes with my video card. Everything will be fine for 10 mins or so and then my framerate takes a dump.

Plane of Mischief is pretty good too. Most of the time the zone is empty and there's a nice kiting area right as you zone in.

Btw, I tried the gargs in pon last night but was having problems. I could not get darkness to stick for some reason, (59 necro). Kept having to fd the garg off of me. Then one time I somehow pulled 2. I'll check it out again, mabey read up on it first.
