XP it can make a difference yea but drops no last time I checked. But you dont need to focus baal til 93, TZ should always give more XP regardless unless youre like lvl 83 and below since places like pits, chaos, sewers are I/clvl 85 to begin with. Anything after that you can TZ whenever since it should be 2 levels higher than you no matter what.
Thats just last time I really looked in to it unless they changed somethin
