OK, this works for all the lowbie zones. All you have to do is enter a high number instance for the zone during. Let’s say it’s Oakmyst Forest and you’re given Oakmyst 1-6 to enter. Enter five or six. Do a /who and check the zone population. If it’s above 20, walk out and check one of the other zones. You’re looking for a zone that has 10-15 or fewer players.

Now you can hunt, or compete with the other players for resources….

Or…

You can walk away and play Halo 2 or get some dinner or kiss your girlfriend or do whatever it is you might do when you’re not playing. Come back in 30-60 minutes and do /who again. It’s very possible that you will be the only person remaining in the zone, or at least you will only have 2-3 others competing for the difficult to get resource spawns.

I held a zone all by myself for over two hours before the server finally crashed. I was able to grind up all my resource harvesting skills and gather huge stacks of good low-level resources. Considering how long it takes to skill up in Trapping and Forestry, this is the only way to do it in my opinion - otherwise you have to compete for limited spawns with a ton of other people chasing them down.

Another side effect of this is you can gather all the "shiney" spots in the ground. I completed five collection quests and got some great loot and silver for finishing them all! Woot!
