Where in TOB can you grind XPs?

Usually I don't grind either for gold or XPs but I've just finished TOB with Sarevok dualed to thief (my first time doing so) and I didn't gain any HLA yet. I read that some people do this to enable him to use Carsomyr so this means there are enough XPs, right? I've already done Watcher's Keep but in the end he's got only like 2.4 million something. Where do people grind in TOB? (Or is this not for a 6-people party?)

so what you need to do is set 7 traps around your party, and then have some chain contingencies set to horrid wilting ( or chain lightning or the such)
then when you are all set up and ready, press the rest button as fast you can, if you do it fast enough you should be able to spawn in huge amounts of enemies, sometimes the battles can be hard, but if ya win, you will get HUGE XP
worst case scenario you can just go to the first area inside yaga shura's enclave and just rest spawn the group in there, with the 3 fire giants 2 hell cats and fire elemental that battle is worth around 84 000 XP or some such
so that would probably be your best bet
If you don't have Sarevok, then you shouldn't need to grind much (or maybe not even at all) to max out a full party by the end of the game, if you play a completionist game with all the quests etc. However, if you've done all of SoA (except WK), then Sarevok will join at a much lower level than your continuing characters from SoA, so there's no way to max him out without serious grinding.
The walls of Saradush are the classic grinding-place for ToB, with infinite Fire Giants. There are some other places you can grind as well, but in some locations which were infinitely-spawning in the original games, the EE seems to have introduced a finite (albeit non-trivial) limit on the number of re-spawns - enough for a small grind, but not the sort of heavy-duty grinding needed if you want to max out Sarevok. If you're too late for the walls of Saradush to be still available when you decide that you want to go grinding, then there are still some other places which have unlimited spawns ... the North Tunnels of Sendai's Enclave, for example, where infinite re-spawning (until you kill the local boss) is part of the story.
Otherwise you can rest repeatedly in areas where you encounter high-XP monsters (like Fire Giants) though spamming the button for a screen full of enemies could probably also be substituted with the above-mentioned.
Nevertheless, there are many of us (perhaps even most of us) who like to win by actual gameplay instead of resorting to editing-cheats.
