Just go to every area and make sure you've covered the whole map. And talk to everyone with a name. Don't worry about getting EXP, there's plenty to go around. At the end of my last game, each of my 6 party members had around 165,000 points, which is more than the experience cap for ToSC--and I was playing straight BG1, without the expansion. If you're playing a party that's mostly Fighters or Clerics, the loooong periods where nobody's Leveling Up can get very dreary. Make sure you've got a Thief, Mage, Bard, or Druid in there to keep things jumping. [img]smile.gif[/img]
But yes, the Basilisk map is my favorite place to go get Exp quickly. Also good are Winter Wolves (tough to find, though) and Ankhegs. And the Sirines & Golems in the Lighthouse map are indeed yummy.
