I don't know, I have never found anything worthwhile to hunt above Holtburg besides Frags. How can you refer to Banderlings, Mites, Shreths and LV 30 Tuskers and low-level shadows as quality creatures? :)

Though the horde nests are broken which is tough on me, you can try the Lair Of Death or Crater Lair (both of which can't really support more than two people, however) or Incunabula Vault (nothing but Soldiers on a 2 minute respawn, you might see some PKs though). There is also Dungeon Of Corpses or Halls Of Metos (you might see some PKs in either of these places). The Olthoi Tunnels isn't bad, neither is Crater Caves (lots of PKs though).

The BSD near Ayan is working as far as I know, though the Teth and Obsidian Plains ones are indeed PK controlled as far as I know.

-Dungeon Of Corpses (Stalkers, Lurkers and Ravenors on a fast respawn)
-Incunabula Vault (Olthoi Soldiers on a fast respawn)
-Halls Of Metos (Golems and Undead on a fast respawn)
-Olthoi Tunnels (Olthoi on a slow respawn)
-Crater Lair (Olthoi on a slow respawn)
-Lair Of Death (Olthoi on a slow-medium respawn)
-Ayan BSD (Tuskers on a medium respawn)

And Aerlinthe. But seriously, what LV are you, 41?

I used to hunt the LoD ALL THE TIME at LV 41, and I would make plenty of cash :) It is a great dungeon for one guy to try. Crater Lair and Olthoi Tunnels aren't bad either, though I didn't see enough of them to really compare. I could still run through it now (I can clean the LOD in 1 or 2 buff sessions) and grab 25k before I bail out of there, 35k if the Noble is nice to me.

Oh yeah, the Olthoi Horde Nest closest to Holtburg WORKS. Sagacious and other neutral guilds level there and I'm sure you guys would be welcome (JFK also hunts there but he is a cool guy)

And Incunabula is HARDER than the Horde Nest. Tons of Soldiers with huge respawn.

Yeah the Dires blow, but I think once we all make another 5 levels we will own the Obsidian Plains :)

You don't need health potions, just pump up your HP :) I fight all Shadows without using health potions, I'm sure you can do it too since our characters are the same :)

Got my first SIK off one the other day

Yeah that's rough, Olthoi dungeons are just FUN, and forget the loot and XP...I would love to rumble into a bad-ass OHN with you guys and make it all the way to the bottom.

Doesn't really bother me, once you can hit Aerlinthe you kill Banderlings for 17k XP and 5-10k in loot each :) (ok, sometimes they are empty) :) With your SoCS, you will have no trouble. Just try to avoid quitting the game for another 4 levels :)
