Well, not for nothing, but there aren't many instances that allow you to mount up and farm. Are there? SM was popular for shard farming at one point (small brilliant shards I believe for fiery enchantments back in the day). Even so, you couldn't do it by mounting and the mobs would still reset even after following you a good ways (unless you did cathedral and went straight in to the boss which pulled everything inside the cathedral). Mobs still reset in most all instances after following you a good ways. I know this firsthand from running lower level friends through places and finding it a pain in the rear to have to double back because a mob dropped or reset. That's also an amusing way to get your lower level friend killed Anyway, onward and upward.

I can think of 2 or 3 spots inside instances where it may be possible to gather 20 mobs. There's a couple of spots in purple Mara where you might be able to get enough imps and satyrs. There's a spot or two in Gnomer where you can get a good number of troggs. There's a paladin picnic to be had in Strat, especially around the fountain near the piccolo guy. When I was farming AD rep, I pulled entire map segments of Strat. That's about the only spots I can think of for this kind of farming and none of it can be done on horseback Anyway...happy farming.
