The purpose of SoW/JBoots is for travel, yes. As I said, I solo a lot too as grouping isn't always the most efficient, even as a Paladin.

I understand that I don't *need* Jboots, just like I don't *need* many things in this game. However, I was just pointing out that it is literally impossible, barring any sort of spawn miracle, for first time characters to be able to receive an item that should be obtainable for a lvl30 player.
That's all. Sorry.

I will concede that it is not
always the most efficient, but it is
almost always the most efficient. I solo probably 85% of the time due to short, frequently interrupted play sessions. Paladins
can solo just fine as you are obviously aware, but grouping will almost always yield better xp unless it is with someone 9 levels higher in a hell level or something...
As Dald has broken down, sow pots are vastly more economical than JBoots. Runspeed is not needed for Pally solo and in groups you will likely have it from someone else, or someone else will be pulling and if neither is true it still doesn't matter much ^^ BUT, if you prefer JBoots that is your choice ^^ I can understand that.
So, like you said it basically just comes down to travel (to/from groups/bank). Vendoring/banking sucks in general, but you can minimize travel time by 'banking' gold with merchants via market maker type items such as gems. Doing this you can get away with only needing to travel to a bank maybe every 3rd or 4th trip to a closer merchant.
Most of all, don't despair! You have an opportunity to do/get whatever you want in this game, but not necessarily on your terms. What you do/get is up to you ^^ good luck!
