I don't remember exact number. IC is better XP grind, but you do have to accept that you are going to get ganked by enemy players, especially when you are not max level.

otoh, a player can kill the mobs in wrothgar in greater numbers much more quickly, while i.c. has a greater density of mobs (although this can work against you, running solo).

Yes, IC is a more challenging grind for sure. You need pretty good AoE DPS to burn down the mobs fast. If you can go through those mobs fast, the XP is fantastic. But it can be tough, especially at lower levels or without tons of CP gained on other characters. Battle Leveling only goes so far. If you are wasting time dying, or taking a long time to kill the mobs, Wrothgar could ultimately be better XP/hour.

How do those numbers compare with cyrodiil delve mobs? I grinded my last character to v16 in there and I'm doing it all over again. Don't want to be wasting my time if the XP is ridiculously low.

I believe Cyrodiil delve mobs are pretty close to Wrothgar mobs. In that 400-ish XP area. But they are a lot easier to kill than IC mobs and even a little easier than Wrothgar mobs, I think. So if they are 3x less XP but you kill them 3x as fast or faster, the Cyro delves could be preferable. I can't give good info because I am DC and DC does not seem to have a good grinding delve in it's corner of Cyrodiil. There is a vampire delve in the Northwest (Lipsand Tarn) that is not bad, but I don't think it is anywhere as good as delves in EP and AD areas of Cyrodiil.

@DannyLV702 Capstone Cave (north side of Cyrodiil, near Dragonclaw) has a relatively high respawn rate and several spawn locations for aspect runestones and treasure chests. I used to farm this area, however it's been some time since I did so. This was prior to IC and Wrothgar, and since then they've boosted the exp gain in those delves and added the buff from killing delve bosses. It'd probably be worth checking into, and I'd be interested to see what it is now. I will go in and check later if I have the time.
Get about 455 xp in wroth gar. Mobs have about 30k HP
Get about 1200 xp in IC. Mobs generally have 70k/100k HP. And an endless stream of copycat magblades coming to gank.
Wrothgar is prob more straight forward. IC prob more exciting if you don't care about the stones.
