Hi guys,
I've read a few of the solo guides around and they've done me well I believe. I am sitting on 52 but I think I've had enough at the TD Spirocs, a full set of provens is 2% of level, which is pretty great, but throw in a lightfoot or watcher and its pretty crappy XP.

My query is this, anyone got any good quad places? Somewhere a little off the map is fine with me, I've been travelling to and from TD since mid40s so a boat ride isnt out of the question.

Thanks in advance.

I dunno exactly what the level range for this is, but lava duct crawlers in Solusek B are a good quadding target. There's a nice open cavern area where you can quad them. I haven't done it myself but I've heard that it's a great camp.

Hhmmm interesting. Never tried quadding inside a dungeon before

It only takes one stone spider to ruin your day (100% MR).

Ravishing Drolvargs outside KC are your best bet probably. At 52 some of them will be light blue (get the Ravishings only) and you can get a couple levels out of them at this point

Burning woods can work, just have to pay good attention when and where you pull and kite. I think some people have quadded dwarf guards too

Just bring it to the Royals camp, evac to drop aggro, and congratulate them on their 300pp loot!

Raptors in TD - Annoying trip, okay EXP, no loot
GFay/Kelethin Guards - Easy access, good EXP, 10pp per from swords/fine steel, (requires many trips to vendor/bank or lots of WR bags) lose wood elf factions
Seafuries - Annoying trip but you can bind there, okay EXP, good cash loot, have to deal with complaining shamans that your quad is taking up 4 spawns but them root rotting 4 Seafuries is totally acceptable...
Burning Woods/Skyfire - Have to selectively choose mobs, ideally all the same type so similar HP, exp is meh, drops rarely spells but that's not worth it.

Personally I've done GFay guards and Seafuries. People will ALWAYS complain about quadders at Seafuries, comically so as I point out with the shamans who take the same number of mobs and take longer to kill them. GFay Guards are pretty easy to find open, you have to have levitate and if you want to loot you'll need to find lots of WR bags... But that's mostly for DE wizards only.

Raptors I recall being good but that zone is very annoying but worth a shot if you're still there from doing Spirocs.

Some great stuff there. Raptors sound great but they outrun sow right?
I am happy killing dwarves, but I'll need to look to see if I need that faction for any epic or any type of quest... I really like the ones outside KC as I am bound there for group work.
Thanks for all the replies guys!

I quadded a ton of raptors on live from lower 50's to 60. I *think* I had jboots at the time but perhaps not; regardless I didn't have an issue with their run speed. I would aggro them with a tflux staff and run them out into the water to gather them (with levitate on of course) and then run back onto the island to cast Atol's.

My main challenge early on was mana. I had no gear and if I got enough resists I could end up with issues being able to kill the last mob and there is literally nowhere to go if you're on those islands OOM with an aggroed raptor.

A recent patch changed the runspeed of the raptors and they outrun sow. I heard they were going to fix it though I really have no idea if they did.

I used to quad in Burning woods on live. Been there are few times on my wizard here and pathing is all kinds of fucked compared to live, not sure if it's more mob population or just bad pathing. Makes it less of an option imo.

Not sure if it's doable here, bit on live starting around 56ish I was quadding in Skyfire. Just gota be careful on what you pull. Pathing is likely different so may not be as doable in some areas.

make sure you have a ton of mana to do this

those bastards are alpha mobs and have a ton more hp than the rest of the mobs in the zone ( i think )
