Best possible paladin twink gear from 1 - 30 and 31 - 60
 

been looking through the forum for leads to twinking out my paladin, and mostly see twink items that are cost effective. thats not what this thread is about. i want to know, without consideration for the cost, what the best possible twink items for a paladin are in every slot. i understand somethings are better for certain situations than others, but try to imagine going through all the major hunting areas, and what gear would be the absolute best to carry a paladin through it. ill check back in a little bit and clarify any questions posters might have

What race paladin are you planning on making? Definitely plays a big role in potential gear decisions.

paladins are the worst melee class in the game to throw a boatload of money at.

for how much you spent, you will 100% be disappointed

fungi
haste
random weapon
time

Mostly this. The wiki is full of items for you to pick from. Beyond the things listed by Ele, the only things that improve Pally solo significantly are: 1. Mana regen, 2. STR, 3. Grey Matter.

i will be making a dwarf paladin

that is your opinion sir, i think i will in fact have alot of fun

i was hoping for specifics, probably from experienced paladins who could list off the best twink items for every slot.

Wow... If you have about 1 million plat to spend this is the way to go. But, OP did ask for regardless of cost.

Yea that's the gear of a raid paladin.

For a leveling paladin:

This will cost you several 100k less with no gameplay change. Replacing the Deepwater Greaves for Greaves of Ro saves you another 75k.

Fungi+CoF are two high value items I would suggest that change how a paladin can solo. It's greatly helped me level my paladin personally. Everything beyond Fungi, CoF and a decent weapon isn't really all that important. Stack some AC/HP, but it's not worth more than 3-4k per slot for those stats. An RBG when you already have CoF haste for example is a waste leveling a paladin. Offtanking trash on a raid it may be worth it on your main but otherwise, meh.

Pretty great points, OP should definitely read this very carefully. My only question is wouldn't it be worthwhile to reach 180-190 STR or so that with yaulp you reach 200? Maybe not the best thing for grouping but I could see it being useful combined with haste and a good wep if he wanted to solo at later levels.
