no!,
the best way is to take underwater ataragian gift for breathing and fast swimming in ember isle,
and killing drowned zombies.
veeery efficient
un-comprehensible with running by the walkway,
ps: also rare as the bonus
I can concur, I tried the pool as mentioned above at 4920, 9500 after picking up Atragarian Gift at 12000, 3500 in Ember isle for a 2hr water breathing and speed buff and at level 70 it took just under an hour and a half as a Rogue/Ranger.
Dont bother with the mobs on shore it will slow you down I tried it.
In my haul I netted from looting the mobs:
645 x Chiffon Cloth
3 x artifacts
5 x Dimension items
20 x Lanzen Cloth
10 x Empyrean Silk
17 x Green Items (Uncommon)
1 x Blue Item (Rare)
1 x Scroll
Pretty sure my invenroty was empyty when I started...
