Paladin solo spots-with grouping potential

[tarkhis]

So the newest member of my alt army is a dwarf paladin. I have him decked out in dwarf cultural armor and wielding a ghoulbane and shield or argent defender. In leveling him I grew tired of sitting in Unrest lfg with 10 other paladins, sks or warriors competing for tank spots in the 3 main camps and hunting in Dagnor's in between lfg in the dungeon.

I moved over to Antonica and have been having fun in Najena, I have the whole zone to myself and there is enough undead to keep me leveling up to 25 now.

Main problem is I do plenty of DPS to undead but the other fights such as tentacle terrors, ogres, magicians, goblins etc. take me forever to kill.

I was looking for some viable camps as I outgrow Najena, where there is sufficient room for a pally to solo but will also find some occasional groups to join.

Is TOFS a good option to fight undead, any other options out there other than the usual unrest, MM, CoM, KC route?

also recommendations for a non undead dps weapon for a pally like Venomous axe?

Ghoulbane is trash after 30. And pallies aren’t as good against undead 30+ as everyone thinks. Until you maybe get a dawncaller from tov.

My advice. Get a reaver. Can stick to guks/sol a until 50. Highkeep after for continuous zem xp.

If you want a 1h, try to get a rotting sword of blessing in velks.

Yep can agree this is 100% true, ghoulbane is trash after 30 for soloing - and unless you have a bucketload of $ those nice raitio velious weapons or a baton of faith can take you from 30-60.

L guk is a bread and butter Paladin zone.I would venture to stay Unrest 20-40, lguk 40-51/52 in for a solo Paladin.

Assuming you have yet to level beyond your mid-twenties...

Lake of Ill Omen is a good enough spot for soloing, ideally in and around backdoor (close to the Frontier Mountains zoneline) until a ledge group forms. Granted, old word mobs are easier than the majority of what Kunark has to offer, but the gems and rare loot from sarnaks (earring of station / bracer of the hidden) make it worth the effort. What's more, you can be bound one zone over in Firiona Vie which, conveniently, happens to have a Paladin trainer along with a class-appropriate spell vendor or two.

After leveling beyond your twenties, there are roaming drolvargs back in Firiona Vie. During normal hours the odd duo partnership can be found out along its coast and occasionally even a small group, which will likely be comprised of classes that can solo just fine; this should make for some relaxed but memorable grind sessions. The drops aren't as good as in LoIO, but bronze and fine steel do drop semi-regularly and, with merchants not too far away, the platinum can really start to add up. Also, canines give very decent experience, though they are on the rare side.

Sword of morning (or was it mourning?)

Ghoulbane was fun to play with at low levels but as was stated above it’s actually not good dps as you put on much in the way of levels.

16/27 ratio puts up much better numbers.

Paladins really aren’t the undead specialists many people think. Undead nukes help in the unrest level range but not immensely so. Slay undead from Luclin and onward changed things a lot.

Thanks for the advice!!

I will definitely grab a sword of the morning, any 2hs worth getting or just keep skill up but go sword and board.

Guktop will be fun to revisit, can pally's do orcs in CC solo at around 30? TOFS worth visiting or stick with non luclin zones while leveling?

I really enjoy TOFS, you get to discover basically every druid and cleric on the server that has a set of keys when you die [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I dinged 40 in unrest Hag Tower and some basement.

Also a slow 2h would be ideal even for undead. I switched between a SoTM and a Baton of Faith in Unrest. Found it way easier to cast stun and nukes between swings with the 2h. An Iceflame is another great weapon, about 700p.
