Current RTW and Circle Pacific Fares
I swear I have searched tons of combinations...and yet someone will post the exact link in seconds to which I will humbly apologize, but does anyone have the most recent fare tables for RTW and Circle Pacific ex-US?

Yep, in its wisdom OW has pulled the fare tables from the various products on its site. If you have an Expert Flyer subscription you can pull them up there. Not much has changed in terms of price leaders etc., but you're not going to find it easily absent some mechanism like EF or access to a GDS.
In the meantime people here on FT are very cooperative in helping with fare inquiries, if you know what I mean.

There used to be a really good excel doc that showed all of the fares for different countries. I've seen the one from ~2007, but there was also one updated in October 2010 if I remember correctly. I haven't been able to find it, searched a bunch as well.

It's around somewhere, there should be a link to it in a thread on this forum. Though my understanding is that it took the data from the price tables on the OW website. As those tables are no longer there...

We've been relying on the spreadsheet (linked above) to determine the starting continent/country for our annual RTW. Now that it no longer can update, because OW has removed the fares, I'm trying to figure out an alternative. I have an EF subscription, so I can do manual queries to get the DONEx fares from any starting point, but it's starting point by starting point, which gets tedious after a few, and relies on trying to think of them all.
One thing worth noting is that all the Euro-denominated fares are identical, so searching for one Euro-zone nation does for all;
All of South America, ditto;
US/Caribbean, ditto.
That leaves a pretty long list, to be sure, but one can look at past "leaders" such as South Africa, Israel/Jordan, etc. Otherwise I don't know an easy work-around short of EF or KVS pulling together some sort of method to summarize.

Playing around now, it looks like South Africa remains an excellent starting point at ~$7k for a DONE4, versus ~$8k for a DONE3 with a Euro country or NRT start. So, for less money you get an extra continent (which is good because you need an extra one if you weren't originally going to Africa).

I assumed all Euro-currency countries would be the same, good to have that confirmed.

As mentioned by Gardyloo, generally for RTW fares historically the best fares have been from S Africa and ME. AMM is the easiest to get to for the price. Sudan (KRT) is cheaper, but not as easy to get to. UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) would be nice starting points but they are much higher fares so that is not an option. JMHO
CirPac fares are best out of HKG.
If there are changes in fares you will hear about them hear first. So until otherwise reported here on FT, I would set up EF Saved Queries for HKG, JNB and AMM. You could do the same for KRT and TLV too if you prefer.
Depending on where you want to travel, the CirPacs are a real deal ex-HKG. DCIR22 at $4997 is a great deal and so is ACIR22 at $7135. Needless to say CirPacs are limited to East Asia, SWP and North America (excluding Caribbean).
