This is a great post that has been a lot of help. Like a lot of lvl 85 paladins I have decent 25+ AC augs in all slots and I'm looking to bump the 25s to 30 or 35s where possible. There are a lot of good groupable augs in UF but I play at odd times so I end up soloing a lot. I don't box and its hard to get a group to play in old content, so I'm looking for suggestions as to any good ac augs that are soloable (with merc) or maybe duoable based on current player capabilities, including ones that used to be considered "groupable" or even raid-required.
I've found a few myself, which I'll recommend here (comments based on 85 paladin, max defensives roughly 6000 ac fully buffed):
Prismatic Gemstone +35 (random Crystallos) - I'm soloing there now, pretty easy but slow, waiting for it to drop
White Dragon Scale +35 (OMM vendor, not exactly soloable since you have to group to due missions but those groups are easy to get so I'll include it)
Red Dragon Scale +32 (OMM vendor, see comments after white dragon scale above)
Sphere of Purest Ice +30 (OMM vendor, same)
Polished Moonstone +30 (OMM vendor, same)
Frosty Gem of Enhanced Protection +35 (Frozen Nightmare LDON raid, technically need 6 to get the raid but the others can afk or even drop, I duoed this with a similarly equipped SK and it was overkill, two of these augs dropped, it may be soloable if you can dps enough on the last mob to overcome his regen when he banishes you)
Crest of the Scarlet Legions +30 (Argil Opressor in Ashengate, slow camp easy fight)
Forged Froststeel Ingot +30 (Rallosian Acolyte Aemon in Frostcrypt)
Illsalin Enforcer Medal +30 (Last Migration in DoD, need 3 to get the mission, but you can easily do this alone and have fun slaughtering the undead while doing it)
Jewel of the Stalwart +30 (Royal Cryptguard Zerakt in Valdeholm, kind of hard to break this camp, may help to bring a puller along)
Blessed Shard +30 (from any of the Primals in Yxtta)
Any other suggestions? Maybe anything from this list that is soloable or close to it?
Ksathrax's Amber +30 (Old Bloodfields random)
Drop of the Dead +30 (Library Director Eslisar in Kaesora Library)
Warleader's Pearl +30 (Minotaur Warleader in Gyro Beza)
Guardian's Stone of Enhanced Protection +30 (Scion Lair of Fury in Mistmoore Catacombs, raid so you would need 6 to get it)
Geartop Gear +35 (Geartop)
Charged Alloy Bolt +35 (Station Attendant Sparkbolt)
Curator's Treasure +35 (random drop Old Bloodfields)
Coleoptera Mechanical Beetle Eye +30 (Coleoptera Assault Sweeper in Mechamatic Guardian)
