I thought there was a thread in here for this, but I couldn't find the old one. Here's my feedback after attempting this place last night.

1) It looks hella better and I'm glad it's back inside the city. Good job on the revamp.

2) As a priest, this place was hell. Oh my god. I had 16+ CON, 16+ CHA, and about 10 STR for this.

- The skeletons the priest trainer sends at you are simply too powerful. They generally stunned me in 10 rounds. It took me around 20 rounds to kill one if I was casting cure light on them, 30 without.

- I looked for a trainer for cure light within the grounds, and couldn't find any. I ended up having to go down to the Sith temple to get it, and this allowed me to survive a fight without being stunned if I started with 50% ME. Casting cure light on the skeleton seemed to double my exp rate, but cure light was healing me for 30% and damaging them for, at best, 2-4%, which meant saving it for myself was more efficient.

- I could not find any equipment vendor inside the grounds, and given the rate at which I was killing skeletons, buying some from a city vendor was out of the question.

- After one hour I was AE to level 2. Oh my god.

I appreciate the attention to detail brought in to the revamp, but I love the Zhensh grounds for one reason: simplicity. You get your standard-issue leather, you go into an area with a shitload of NPCs, and you hack away and you're novice in an hour, almost regardless of class.

Just my experience. I'm sure it's different for other classes.

Alas, all good things must come to an end.


I've already reported the bug involved. I wanted to GM him but miscalculated the XP required. :(

Regarding equipment in that area, you don't need vendors. Just pay attention at what the quartermaster says. :P The gear is awesome.
