Hidden: XP Efficiency Table
The most XP-efficient hunting spots by level:
- Lv 1-20: Starting zone (50-200 XP/kill, fast kills)
- Lv 20-50: Whisper zones (200-800 XP/kill, medium speed)
- Lv 50-100: Third tier zones (800-3000 XP/kill, slower kills)
- Lv 100-250: Endgame zones (3000-10000 XP/kill, group recommended)
- Lv 250+: Soul War zones (10000+ XP/kill, group required)
Key insight: XP/hour matters more than XP/kill. Fast kills of weaker monsters often out-pace slow kills of strong ones.
