Revamped in 2006, this zone is now higher level on average than the Mines of Nurga. A good leveling range for the zone would be 50-60. The named spawns were relocated in the 2006 update. Mapfiend has indicated as such by labeling the new spawns in Blue. The previous locations no longer spawn the nameds to my knowledge and experience. Gear in this zone will be worse than Defiant, however it is on average going to be better than The Howling Stones for mid 50s gear. For plat farming, the higher level mobs in this zone tend to drop about 20 plat a piece.
