Necro Leveling 54-60?

[astrocreeper]

Hello. I've been looking around at various guides for 54+ leveling spots and nothing is looking all that appealing.

Can anyone recommend something decent for an iksar necro? I like to solo stuff that drops plat or plat vendorable items. Thoroughly enjoyed killing druids and guards up to this point.

Here's what I've seen:

City of Mist - Undead here, I don't know much about it other than it's often been pretty full up with players and it took me forever to get there.

Karnors - Seems to be a busy place as well. Looks like a good level range. The problem is I like to bank/vendor in the OT outpost in skellie form and I hear this lowers the outpost faction. If I tank outpost faction to it's lowest point would I still be apprehensive in skellie form?

Sebillis - Need a key, don't know much about it, seems popular.

Howling Stones - Tough dungeon, need key, tanks OT outpost faction?

Burning Wood - mob density maybe a bit too high, mobs maybe too low to get good xp at 54+?

Various Guards - Been doing this for a while, the stuff I've been killing is turning green now though. Fine with tanking any factions other than Cab/OT/Neriak. Any guards out there still blue at 54?

SKyfire - mobs have lots of hit points, summon, tanks some dragon factions, potential for spell drops

Chardok - Usually cleared out by the AOE groups, out of my price range, maybe more trouble than it's worth

Neriak Ogres - Tanks queen/dead faction, don't want to do that

Solb - tight quarters, probably need group, pretty busy zone.

I'm sure I'm missing some stuff here. How about Velious zones? Any decent outdoors spots to fear kite.
