Where to solo comfortably at 80?

[Yandroz]

Where should I try to solo at level 80?
I have mostly Anguish level gear and I'd like to be able to comfortably grind some AA's without being in too much of a high-stress location.

Thanks;

I've been doing a bit of soloing in the hotzone lately, Sunderrock Springs. Its a level 70(?) hotzone I believe and the fact that they are all light blues makes killing rather fast. XP has been rather good.

If you haven't done the hand aug quests, try Buried Sea. There are multiple quests involving each of the islands there. You can solo almost all of it.

I found the beach on the northeast island, killing snakes and lizards on the beach next to the bay, to be particularly low key. The normal mobs are 72 to 76, fully rootable, easy to kill within the 2 minutes of VP. Start from the little shoulder-of-the-hill plateau overlooking the north end of the beach, work your way south for 25 minutes, invis, and head back to start. You also have the odd chance of spawning a named snake or lizard; they are level 77-78, and only slightly harder than the regular mobs. The named snake drops a nice AC / HP aug.

spiders in icefall should be pretty comfortable for you in just about any gear.

Ruins of Illsalin is still a great place for a pally to get AA's. It has the highest non-hotzone exp modifier of any zone in the game (heck, even with it no longer being a hotzone it may have a higher exp mod than some of the new hotzones)... and it shouldn't be crowded anymore.

[Macnair]

Bah.

I don't know if you can solo in Buried Sea or not. Your "I am a paladin" emblem is right there, but I guess I was blind when I wrote because I assumed your were a shaman, and gave you advice on how to solo your shaman.

Still, the mobs in Buried Sea have relatively few hitpoints for their level, so it might be worth a try.

If you are looking to slum, then Direwind or ROI is your best bet. You may run out of undead mobs in Direwind though.

[Yandroz]

Two last quick questions.

Where in ROI would you suggest I go after zoning in? Left, Right? Straight?

Secondly, is there an undead camp there?

I've been soloing Loping Plains Zombies but I have to be really careful with them, I'm looking for a place where I can get exp faster.

Thanks for the help;

There are only a few mobs in illsalin that are not undead: the deep orcs, maybe a few more. All the spiders are undead.

[Zorbee]

Spiders are in the middle (need lev to get up there) and to the right are the shilliskin. At 80 either are acceptable.

I have a paladin friend who solos undead in arcstone, I'll try to call him to night and find out where they are. He says they die very quickly with his slays (11k or so) which I dunno if that's a high slay or low. 5% aa or so per kill solo.

Ok, I've checked out Arcstone and RoI. The skels in Arcstone give ~3% exp per kill and the spiders in RoI give ~6% per kill. The difference is that the mobs in Arcstone are much easier to kill and don't hit nearly as hard. As for which gives faster EXP I've not done any parsing to see. I'm thinking it is going to be very close either way.

Do you guys have any other suggestions of good undead camps for a Paladin?

Peace

I don't really pretend to have intimate knowledge of paladin solo spots, but what either the Direwind Boneyards (Probably comparable difficulty to Loping plains zombies?) or the Undead Murks in WoS (Probably comparable to the arcstone undead?)
