Probably shouldn't post this as they are bound to get nerfed, but I seem to
get fantastic xp for these guys in Everfrost - at lvl 10 they con all around
me (they are lvl 9,10, and 11 I believe) but all 3 are pretty easy to kill -
I lose 1 bubble of health on the toughest one. I must have made about 2
bubbles of xp in no time (seemed like an hour, probably a bit longer) by
smashing these mobs - they seem to respawn almost instantly as well!

Also, having completed the quest to return the pages twice, I now have a
brewing list containing around 20 drink names and a book of secret brewing
recipes! Unfortunately I'm at work so can't post them here!!!

That's great for you, but sucky for all the lower levels trying to
deal with a gnoll pup or a polar bear cub.

I feel sorry for anyone less than L10 who wants to play Late at night
(RT) in EF. The vengefuls seem to get bored of wandering around near
the BB gates and make their way over to the newbie areas. I regularly
see them chasing people all the way to the EF gates.

Likewise, the disappearance of One Guard (I heard he's back) was no
fun. It's bad enough there's little mid-level hunting in Everfrost
(Hm, ice goblin whelps or baby mammoths and orc centurions?), but
losing a safe spot on the Tundra border really hurts.

While I'm whining, what's the deal with the weak guard at BB gates? A
couple of gnoll guards chased my character while on the butt-naked
corpse run, I ran for the guard's help, and the guard ran away after
only a round or two!

I do like Everfrost more than Qeynos hills, but I think the game
tuners need to pay attention to the difference in terrain. Holly/Cros
and rabid grizzlies are a pain but at least you can go in almost any
direction to avoid them or find help. In the twisty canyons, it's not
as easy to avoid the Vengefuls...

I killed one solo with my level 6 warrior. It fought like it was level 6-7.

Must be nice.

I'm a L10 Rogue. One's blue, one's black, one's yellow, so I assume
they're 9, 10, 11 respectively. Shockingly, amazingly, *weirdly* I
can successfully fight the Composer (the L11 one). This is the first
Yellow /CON critter I've ever been able to fight (and win; I've lost
to many). However, when I'm done with him, he's nearly done with me.
I always have less than 1 bubble of HP left.

Must be nice to not worry about dying while fighting one.
