Anyone have information on the ZEM for other zones, like Pualdral(sp), Kedge, LoIO, etc.

I'm just curious what zones reap the best reward regarding ZEM and I'm not looking at the PoP stuff so much, I realize all PoP zones have a ZEM like 150% :p

Other than the ones you have noted no others have been released. The ones you have were released by Verant when they were encouraging players to go to unused zones, also to encourage people to group also. ZEM is one of those things that Verant keep hidden. Not sure whether one of the ShowEQ type programs would tell you, but thinking its a server side thing I wouldn't count on it.

Yeah it's a server side calculation, but when eq sent actual xp numbers to the client it was possible to figure out various other zem's, which people did.

There is a list over on the showeq forums somewhere, use the search button on em! hehe

FYI xp numbers are not apparently sent now, but rather a percentage of your xp bar or something.

I was just curious about zones like Kedge for example. Most think there is a high ZEM there.

One would think that if they annouced the zones like the ones I posted, they would have told us all of them :p

Nope no luck with that. Although Kedge did have the highest ZEM prior to all these zones getting boosts, not sure where it sits afterwards, but people still never hunted there.

Anyone ever notice how epic pieces were put in little utilized areas. Good try Verant.

I thought City of Mist had a bump in the ZEM.

Anyone know what that one is?

Those numbers are <strong>not</strong> ZEMs. They are the amount that the ZEM was changed for those zones with a particular patch. I know that EQAtlas lists those numbers as "ZEMs", but they are wrong (Muse is well aware of this, BTW).

Verant/SOE has never, ever released ZEMs for any zone.

It is still possible to calculate ZEMs with ShowEQ (the servers do still send the raw xp number to the client - but only on zoning) and therefore it's possible to come up with relative ZEMs, and the aforementioned ShowEQ forums have some of these numbers. I don't use ShowEQ, but I have read the thread on their boards, and their explanation of how they come up with them sounds like it's probably right.

Yeah, I think most ZEMs were listed in that thread as 75, dungeons at 85... a few, like the Hole, were 100... PoP zones were 145.
