The maps for Nordr are good exp gainer for people who wants to get from level 30 to 31. Anyone lower than...perhaps 27 (?) is going to have a bit of a struggle to get through maps. Attend to WTs until level 30, then repeat the areas in Nordr map. (without killing the boss, you can, but it's a waste of time). So you would Get exp in Crystal Cavern. And yes there are ice golems, yeti and spiders
