Velious Leveling Help?

[Ion Blaze]

I'm trying to experience stuff I never did in the past. I always leveled in Kunark and Old World but never Velious. I also like low populated zones so I am not disrupting anyone.

Does anyone have any advice for what a bard can efficiently and safely kill in Eastern Wastes/ Great Divide around 39-45? I've been looking at the Rygor orcs, giants, and kodiaks but I don't know what is the safest considering caster mobs (rygor shamans that cast blind) and run speed of the various mobs (dire wolves that run with sow speed).

Thank you for the help.
