East Commonlands is pretty much the second stop for low level characters that dwell in Freeport.  After spending some time hunting those annoying rats, young necromancers head to this area for a wider variety of creatures.  Besides the hunting, this area has a few different Inns known by those that hunt here as Inns number 1, 2, and 3.  The first Inn is located closer to Freeport while the third one is located just near the zone to West Commonlands.  As you might have guessed, the second Inn is right in the middle of the three Inns.  These Inns sell a good variety of simple things such as cloth armor pieces, food, water, common weapons and even bone chips.  Most necromancers will have trouble getting into one though as the merchants might attack you on sight.  Make sure you consider them before attempting a trade.  In addition, a few guards are located in the first and second Inns, as well as some roaming the roads of East Commonlands.  Thus, if you are zoning in for the first time, make sure you cast invisibility until you leave or make sure they are not aggressive towards you.

A good tip for necromancers that want to trade with the merchants in this area or NPCs in Freeport is to attack the Orcs located both in this area and the surrounding zones.  They will improve your faction standing with merchants, NPCs and guards from Freeport.  Of course, it might take quite a lot of time before you can walk freely around Freeport.

I would most definetely recommend that only necromancers that are not KOS to hunt here.  It is bad enough to be slain by a small snake so don't get yourself into more trouble by having to stay on the watch for a roaming guard.

You can find all sorts of creatures in East Commonlands, ranging from the low level Decaying Skeleton to the tougher Young Kodiak.  If you have just reached level 4 or so, you should stay close to one of those Inns where guards stay and hunt small creatures such as Snakes and Fire Beetles.  As you progress move to tougher creatures and feel free to leave the vicinity of the Inns.  At level 7 or so, a good but often crowded spot to hunt at is one of the two Orc camps located here.  They will provide you with reasonably good loot, good experience and improve your faction standing with the folks from Freeport as a bonus.  Higher level characters also have quite a few things they can kill, including Darkweed Snakes and Young Kodiaks.  These characters can also hunt undeads such as Skeletons, Zombies and Lesser Mummies at the undead cemetery.  Simply Ward Undead them to death (note that as this is your first spell that uses the evocation skill, you will need some practice before it can be an effective battle spell).

As a zone for low level characters, East Commonlands provides a good range of creatures.  The merchants located here also help as you do not have to go back too often to town for basic needs such as food and water.  The only bad thing about this region are the nasty Griffins and Air Elementals that insist on showing up when you least expect.  Both will attack you on sight and specially the Griffins can kill you pretty fast.
