You have to consider the time and resources invested into killing higher exp monsters. Status inflicting monsters in particular are annoying for grinding. Back in the day I used High Orcs, Anolians, Alde guild dungeon mobs with party to level to 99. High Orcs is the safest monster and you can grim tooth a mob too. Anubis is amazing but you can kill several high orcs in the time to kill one anubis and the anubis can hurt you well.
1 anubis = 7.7 high orcs in base exp
So you have to encounter 8 high orcs and kill them faster than encountering and killing 1 anubis. Anubis are not as plentiful as high orcs though but at the same time WOV is extremely crowded.
But what is plentiful in the anubis map are pasana, which gives a bit more exp than HO. So you have the same exp gain plus the occasional anubis. Its also important to note that pasanas give waaaay better loot than orcs.
If you have a priest slave, aspertio plus an infiltrator will absolutely massacre anubises, since they are demi human race and undead property. Its a prerequiste to have shadow armor though.
