In my experience, finishing a map was about as rewarding as....well nothing. I did a few level 30/35s and ended up with awesome tier 1-3 junk. No items found from the EPs and the climb took even longer solo. Maybe it would have been better off as a full group, but then the drop system rewards others with all the items and rewards you with rage.

Now some lucky bastards out there have found exceptional exceptional items by doing maps. LS is all about little effort for max reward. GL

Xp shouldn't be starting to slow yet...Maps are good for +25 levels to the best of my knowledge. XP should slow at 40

Most maps have a top end after which the XP is zero, (+ 25 to map start lvl)
so it is not always a good idea to start a low lvl map on a medium lvl char.

Also -- be advised: Hylian Hero is a self-described toxic individual

Just because he started a map at level 15 does not mean that it was a level 15 map. Boom knowledge bomb.
