Make sure if you ever plan on soloing 1-60 you buy a lumi staff. Not even worth meditating while you can utilize that sucker, at least not until you 'graduate' to the higher dwarf guards. It works for the low level dwarves, the birds, and much of the Dreadlands.
Been awhile since I did it but I soloed the entire way. I did the docks dwarves at 39ish. You can incorporate another two groups of dwarves when you get more efficient. There are three more a ways down the shore, and two more outside the wall of the docks. The higher level dwarves actually have quite a few spawns.. I would run them from outside the docks, to just outside Kaladim, to another two huts along the road. Many people don't know all the different dwarves you can add to your routes so even if someone else is there, there should be decent experience to be had.
Whenever you're able -- and I don't remember exactly when I went there the first time, but probably 48-49 -- switch to aviak island. Never stop pulling and just kill them with the lumi staff. You can ride them to 53 even though many will be green at this point.. I do believe that is smarter than going to the bear pit at 52 because your charm is ridiculously unreliable at that point, and the pit can be rough if you're not honed in, even 55+.
Whatever you decide to do, definitely be in the bear pit by 53, where you'll be till 60. Bind down there, obviously. I realized quickly that any time another druid showed up, it was far more efficient to offer to group with him or her. That stayed true until I was maybe 57-59 and could hold the entire pit down by myself. Once you get to that point, the place is a blast, in my opinion.
I do recommend you level your druid solo. It's the most fun I've had on the game -- you're constantly developing new routes/tactics and then mastering them. I think you'll also become extremely attached to your character as a result.. Like when you work super hard to save up for your first car instead of your parents buying it for you. But even more so, because the game is a ridiculous grind even if you're grouping, haha. Good luck! Feel free to message me in-game if you need any help as I'm more than willing to share what I know.
Edit: If you really want to do the mammoths, try playing at off hours whenever you can. But that goes for pretty much everything else, too, lol.
