Good alternates to LHC

Don't get me wrong I like LHC, but there are a lot of times I can't find a party. What is a good alternative to LHC?
going back to skeles? Bodyguarding? (I'm a 158 bucc)

Bodyguarding is, at least for the next 9 or 10 days, the best alternative, but your performance is funding/tolerance based. Whether you take 40+ min per guard like i did at 163 or half an hour per run like i do now, it's still great exp and there are a lot of ways to cut your time that doesn't have anything to do with increasing your %str.

When future ereve comes out, however, (and you get to 160) you can train on mushrooms for 10k per kill. Killing 10 is a bit more HP than a single crocky, but it's double the base exp and they drop dream fragments which is used for forging certain high profile items. It's a good solo training spot, to say the least. Only downside is they stun you and there's no party bonus.

Yeah, I only hit 40-50k per demo hit so I will probably take 80-90+ minutes per bodyguard :/

Nah it'll probably take you an hour on average. (needless to say it won't be as good exp as LHC) I think at 163 i was hitting 60k non crits? Like i said though, there are lots of ways to cut your time. (russellon's potions, + invincibility frames of any kind on your overall, even a partner to kill with would be great exp still)

This is what I'm definitely looking forward to, waiting for :15 and :45 for the free teleport to and from Leafre and El Nath or journeying to those places by foot is more hassle than I'm willing to put up to get to Oblivion 5. This is especially true when at any moment your guild/alliance/etc. might cry out "R>1 for LHC" and you are nowhere near.

On a related note, how does one reach Future Henesys/Ereve? Is there a universal portal (mirror) from somewhere or more pertinently is it near El Nath?

So I'm not hijacking your thread: Other than BGA/B, you could down 1st and 3rd Tower Anis or go back to the tried and true trifecta of Zipangu. While the event exists, CvP is pretty good EXP. In fact, I wouldn't mind if the event went on indefinitely, never thought I'd say that, but between the free intercontinental teleports and the EXP it's not that bad.

You get the Future Henesys/Ereve through one of the other two doors in the ToT, so there's a bit of travel to get there.
