Weapon experience areas

[fixxer1963]

I just saw a discussion in world chat about leveling weapons. I have seen similar before, but there is a lot of speculation.
19.1. 05:24 Silverbane: whats a good area to level a weapon these days?
19.1. 05:25 Ishamael: anywhere with lots of critters, quality matters less than quantity.
19.1. 05:25 Ishamael: I would recommend dungeons in fel, double xp
19.1. 05:26 Kara Zor-El: Double XP depends on the spawn, I hear.
19.1. 05:26 Kara Zor-El: If you kill orignal spawn, normal XP, if you kill the Coli/Nyx added spawn, double.
19.1. 05:27 Melephycent: what is coli/nyx added spawn please?
19.1. 05:27 Ishamael: [c anything umbra, but beware, they are tougher
19.1. 05:27 Kara Zor-El: Coli and Nyx added spawn to dungeons to help levelers.
19.1. 05:27 Michiko: gm added spawners
19.1. 05:27 Melephycent: sweet thanks
19.1. 05:27 Kara Zor-El: and doubled the XP in Fel dungeons for the NEW spawn only.
19.1. 05:28 Kara Zor-El: But, yeah, leveling in Fel just got more economical.

I figured I would go straight to the source and ask the admins...
What exactly are the details here?
Are some dungeons better than others?
Are these dungeons up to individual players to discover by trial and error?
There would be more, but the first few questions need answers to determine any more questions.

Generally it's always a good idea to scroll through the Excelsior Daily thread when looking for info on such changes, and failing that (sometimes we forget to post there), a quick forum search.

I did a forum search, "weapon experience"... 34 pages to look through, and none on the first page that included both words. Thank you for linking all the info in one compact reply. This will be tons easier to point to when people start speculating on the subject.

Look for the Excelsior Monster Compendium. It lists monsters by type, gold, token and weapons experience points and facets. To tell somebody that a certain area is a great place for experience gathering could be misleading. Great for me, insta-death for you. So, look at the compendium, find the mobs you can handle and go from there. Also, if you are scripting, then Felucca is out though they have the better dungeons to level in. Good luck in your search and your leveling.

And thank you Cygnus for including that in the thread. I am sure future searchers will thank you as well.
