Something to remember about Kunark, there are areas appropriate for every
level. As you work your way out from Cabilis in each adjoining zone the
area nearest the city is a newbie area and gets tougher the farther away you
get.
So, for the purposes of faction adjustments, greenies in the newbie area are
doable from level 1.
Hunting for experience should be fine for any level but I have personal
experience from mid teens on with a non Iksar character. I've leveled
quickly/easily through the upper teens and low twenties with my enchanter in
Lake of Ill Omen. I've leveled very quickly in the upper 20s with my
warrior in the lake and Swamp of No Hope.
I think some people come to Kunark and hunt in the nightmare that is Firona
Vie (FV). This zone is very dangerous (in my experience) and I'm stressed
out when I spend much time in there. My warrior at 26 was a quick bite for
most of the things zooming around in that zone and Verant got smart allowing
monsters to cruise around at the tops of the zone walls so there are few
safe spots. It's a rewarding zone if you are in a good/tough group but
death is quick to come if you get in over your head. Most things see
through invis and there are some really mean creatures that are very hard to
outrun. Because of all this I think people get the idea all zones in Kunark
are the same. But they aren't.
The field of bone, warsilk woods, swamp of no hope, and lake of ill omen are
pretty nice and mostly quiet. People who have the expansion but stay in
lake rathe, cazic thule, and especially oasis are missing out big time on
much nicer places. Many times in the swamp of no hope I've been the only
person or one of a handful (that I never ran into). There are still fairly
easy blue things to my 28 warrior in the swamp.
I like it not crowded but I'd also like to see a few more people here and
there to group with. If you are on Povar, have the expansion, and would
like help getting to Kunark and are in the level range of 18-30 I can talk
you to firona vie from oasis or butcher. Non-evils can be bound in FV but
I'm not familiar with how things work for evil races (other than knowing
they get bound in "Overthere". If you can bind yourself then no worries.

This surprises me. Kunark is a bit tough for teens and under (mostly due
to travel danger, as there are places that would be good once you get L12
and can bind), but once you're high enough level to even have
Illusion:Iksar, it's a fine place. I've been having a blast killing
goblins, sarnaks, forest giants, brutes, cacti, etc. in the Overthere,
Warslik's Woods, and Lake of Ill Omen with my L25 necro.
