Okay. When Vanir's Hollow first came out the day before Halloween I was absolutely ecstatic. Since then the Zombies were first Bile-able for people around level 50+phys level. This seems completely adequate because the bile ability is for those who are higher in level to have the ability to kill things in one hit. Now after Tig saw that that was possible he made them COMPLETELY unbileable. When I killed them at this time I received 2.9k~ per zombie kill. That means that even when this first came out they gave LESS experience then a Lord does that you can tract around main on a constant basis. From Lords I get anywhere from 2.9k-5k. Zombies can kill players like me, that have dual rows - 30str,30dex,27con if I am not wearing a piece of my armor, so I have to constantly have all my gear on or they will own me. I logged on i believe yesterday and I killed some zombies and noticed that still at level 55 physical I was only getting 1.1k per zombie. I log on today and now I only get about 671 exp from a zombie. These zombies can kill any normal player in 1-2 hits and can hardly be hurt by magic and you have to have directors for wisdom to even be applicable in killing them. At 700 exp per physical leveling kill killing lords is 642.8 percent more effective (4500/700) for the highest EXP giving lord or around 414.2 percent more effective (2500/700). Zombies are about 10-30x harder for ANY player to kill then a lord is at, especially at higher levels where 3 of my cause critical wounds of Ogma (level 46 wisdom) kills any lord. It takes about 15-20 cause critical wounds for me to kill a zombie, not only because of how hard they are but because of the amount of health they regenerate.
Thats just what is on the outside.
When you are in the crypt I began and received about 20k-40k per kill off of the vampiric priests and guardians. That was in a party of 5 people (Felix, me, Plasma, Tycho, and one other). Cell and I just did it and used wisdom to kill the monsters in all the different rounds with only three people (Angel, Cell, and myself) and cell received about 4k at level 60 physical. It takes about 3-5 minutes per kill of any of the monsters whether it be a priest or guardian. I at level 46 wisdom received about 5k per guardian or priest. Angel at level approximately 28 wisdom i believe got about 50k per kill. This was supposed to be a place where people could kill things at higher levels of physical, wisdom, magic, etc over the current methods. Now I get LESS experience then I could get off of ANY brutal no matter how measely the amoutn of worms is or if I just hunted lords for the same amount of time. Not to mention that since the bows got removed from the Crypt now we can't even use that, which was one of the ONLY ways to kill Kvasir or his mobs without using wisdom. Let alone the fact that you cannot target Kvasir. So not only from the beginng has the EXP been brought to about 30 percent of what it was from ALL the different monsters. There has been placed I believe a 3 hour cap on returning to the Crypt and a one and ahalf cap of time allowed inside. So I do believe that seeing as I can 1 shot a lord with bile at about 3-5 lords per minute I make around 9-15k a minute approximately at the lowest exp (2.9k~ per). It takes me about 20-30 seconds to kill a zombie that offers around 700 exp and about 3-5 minutes to kill a priest or guardian that gives me about 5k. Umm I think that I have clearly pointed out the problem and I believe that the experience needs to be returned to where it was because this was supposed to be a place to level for high levels. I cant get more EXP off of a lord that a level 20 can kill. And more EXP off of a brutal that I can finish in 5-7mins and get 50k-150k.
Tig... this place was amazing and completely USEFUL when you had it originally. It served the purpose that it was meant to and now it isn't even worth the time to walk from bomboria to there because I can get more EXP killing stuff in a level 4 map then there and the monsters are 100x harder at Vanir's Hollow. If you want to make it so you can't steal off of the Vampires and Ksavir then so be it. But it is a complete disservice to everyone for you to lower the exp 7/10 of what it previously was when these are argueably the hardest monsters on Graal kingdoms. You cannot kill Kvasir or his mobs without using a Bow if you want to use anything that isnt by way of using wisdom. Because you can't even use magic because it does almost no damage at all. So you have two choices, wisdom or phys, and not to mention that the time spent in there is worthless because I can get the same amount of EXP from 5 lords as I can clearing that place once. And I think we can all figure out which of the two is insanely more difficult.

Vanir's Hollow needs to be set the way it was.
