First character, my monk, was mostly solo and occasionally duo in Sol B. He had solid gear from classic, and back then fungi robes still had regen and were plentiful, so it was pretty easy.
For my bard, I did mostly groups. I found a pretty solid group of people who liked to grind long hours and we did a lot of KC and Seb. Dont remember all of them, but Aatmos, Citrua, Crowds and his brother Infinitive were a few I grouped with a lot. I especially remember Aatmos and Citrua putting in stupidly long hours with me. I'd say those two were in my group like 70% of my way from 52-60.
Warrior I did casually over a long period mostly soloing or duoing in KC. With KC being a major hub I could almost always get decked out with buffs, and fungi + regrowth + bloodpoints (until epic at 58) + VoG worked well. Whenever I could find a shaman or cleric I'd duo basement or pit.
Went full on lazy with ench and mostly did chardok. Early levels I did a lot of CoM, but by 56 or so I just wanted to get 60 asap. Also leveled this guy with a friend, and he did a lot of the early levels. I mostly did 52ish+.
Cleric on red I did almost exclusively with the same chanter (forget his name) in HS north.
I think Bard was the most fun, but it was also the most taxing. I was in my last year of college and played a ton during the winter months. Sometimes we'd do 8+ hour long grind sessions with the same group of people and by the time I finally hit 60 I was a bit concerned about repetitive motion stuff, so took a long break from grouping on him and just raided a lot.
Warrior was a lot of fun too because I got to meet a lot of lower level people. I'd pick up clerics and shaman that were sometimes 6 or 7 levels lower than me since I really just needed them for CH or slow, and unlike the bard I actually had time to chat with them.
