piggybacking, the mobs don't give enough exp, adena, or drops to warrant bringing a party. Dragon Valley East gives comparable XP (500k ish for solo DVE/500k ish for Gourd canyon per mob and similar kill speed). Perhaps give a unique party buff (like a better rune system from live?) where xp or kill rate is improved. The 1000 mobs is fine if it was actually good to hunt there
