[SewingMachine]

So I hear that Soloing really takes off at 18. I have been practicing, but since i am 18 I really want to hit it hard. Were would be a good place to go. People say go to lake of ill omen but were do you bind >? Because I imagine that i am going to die alot. Any input at all would be great, I have been trying to find a place to rake in that good exp. but cant find any.
