Is Grip of the Hidden Hand any good?

I'm relatively sick of the normal 18-20 slog and looking around. I am wondering if the adventure pack Grip of the Hidden Hand is any fun to play? Since I'm never buying DDO points again I really have to be careful I don't waste my remaining nest egg on crap like Myth Dranor.
  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

Gameplay wise it's kinda meh. The usual stuff with forgettable quests. Look at the loot on the wiki and decide if you feel like buying it.

The chain is not part of any saga so I skip it every single life unless there is a group running it on reaper (exp is exp). Tried farming a couple of augments solo between R1/R4 everyday or and gave up like a couple of weeks later.

I almost never see any lfm for this up anymore btw.

I'm mainly looking for some fairly easy quests to farm for XP when leveling from 18 to 20 with an otto's rock. Since I don't have VIP XP bonus anymore its about 600k I have to farm. I know there are staples but I am SO FUCKING SICK OF THEM.

Looking through my banks, it appears I did run this entire chain back before VIP expired(I have a Legendary Thirteen. Which is meh.)

I guess I'll grab it. At the very least I can use it on that grind towards 34 since I ain't buyin MD.

Ok. My brain says Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" is still a great song and under appreciated, but gives me shockingly little information about the Grip of the Hidden Hand adventure pack.

Two of the quests are blitzable, so it's a good backup to your backup when marching to 20. I'd still hit the Sharn Docks first.
