Quests are entirely worth doing

[Dolloway]

The new Swamps quests may be hard and even tedious at times and the xp that you gain from maps may be small, but when you finally complete the last quest (200 crystals from Xar LAT'KO) you will be granted access to Asylum Earth.

Warlord/Overlord drops up to 20k xp orbs on these maps and every run is guaranteed an orb from the boss, unlike the swamp maps. You can obtain massive xp just like in prison, although mobs drop orbs less frequently.

So get to questing, friends.
