You might want to experiment with some of the Oow named also.
If Vindi is a raid for you all, I'm guessing that some of named that are single groupable for those of us that have been gearing for 4 yeasr, might prove to be a pretty good target for a raid.
Honestly though, unless you are just having fun raiding the old stuff, your fastest gear progression would be to farm NC/WoS/DoN for single groupable named.
If you are just looking to raid, then ya, after Velious, you can always head to Luclin and try out Akheva/Up/Griegs type mobs.
But I'd really consider doing some DoN if you just want good items.
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/item.html?item=36168 for instance. 340 crystals (about 7 hard missions, or 10-14 regular missions at lvl 70).
Thats a 125 hp tunic that can be aug'd for 250 crystals (or so) with a 55hp aug.
What size and average gear level is your raid force? It might help us pick some more specific targets for you.
