Well I have seen many guides so I thought I would finally put one together since I have used some from the community.

The green path is the way to the camp. If you have never been in this zone it is found off of Katta Castrum. Thalassius I believe was a zone dedicated to swarming back in the day.

I believe I first went to this zone at 75th and stayed there until 82nd or so. I obviously leveled, but what I got the most from this zone is that I went from about 1100 AAs to maxing out my AAs for the levels I had.

You zone in at the center of the zone. If you following the green path in the image it will take you to an elevator. As you go down the green path, the critters get higher level and eventually there will be some that see invis. You will have to enter water wtih my path that I have listed, but if you take the opposite path (not highlighted), you will not enter any water.

The green path ends at an elevator that takes up up one level. From there follow the red path to where I would set my camp at. Before you do that I highly recommend you stop where I have "Campfire here" and do all of your buffing or launching of KA. If you do that, ensure that you do /camphere so that camping is off, then move up to where the red path ends and do another /camphere. In this hallway are about five spawn points to the South and to the North across the bridge are about 4 more. I nevered use a mess file for this zone, so I do not know how well m2nav would work for the side rooms in the Southern hallway, as if you enter these rooms, you will be swimming and can pull between 2-4 more critters per room. I want to say the respawn was about 12 minutes and you do have a chance to spawn a named Kraj Iurolapos. I can't recall how much loot was available, but I did gets stacks upon stacks of Shimmering Kedge Scales that sold well (30ish pp). There is also lots of defiant armor drops and well as a few doodads I can't exactly remember.

I spend weeks here with my Bard/SK with two healers mercs. I eventually swapped out one of the cleric mercs with a wizard merc, and eventually when I created my wizard I brought him here too after a short powerlevel session. This zone was my first time to really use KA and this is where I had a steep learning curve on what I could and couldn't do. If I remember correctly if you set your /maxradius to 400 it can pull everything from North to South. I initially did all my fighting on the bridge, but eventually got tired of finding my corpse's in the water below when I ended up falling off when I would AFK.

If you are semi AFK it is easy enough to jump off and pull critters from the water and then come back up the ladder and fight them from your camp. Or you can take the other elevator that takes you up and do the same as what you can do in the water.

It is a good spot thanks for the post.
I didn't even bother going all the way to the spot you posted. I stopped at the big room where you make the first left in your picture.
The respawn rate is so fast that I never had large breaks from pulls. My pull circle was at 450 and that covered lots of area.
Getting 2 or 3 in a pull was pretty common so some CC is needed.

Loot for selling was pretty good as well.
