A lot of the replies are geared towards grouping or PLing, not soloing. Fear kiting is not recommended in most dungeons, for that you are best off doing it outdoors, and most outdoor zones do not have ZEMs worth noting.

For soloing, find a place with mobs you can single pull and a clear place to fear-kite at. OT has a lot of that for the 20-46 range, but you will have to fight against bards for mobs. FV is decent in the 30-40 range as well I'd imagine.

Basically, fear kiting is much different than grouping/PLing, you need ROOM to fear-kite. Please don't get pissed at these posters when you follow the recommendations to grind in dungeons and then die when you fear and end up training yourself.

If you are looking to solo with fear kiting, you DO need to stick to outdoor zones. As a Shadowknight, I have never solo'd. Tank classes are frequently in demand so it's a question often of tossing up the old LFG tag and while waiting, start trying to assemble a group for the zones mentioned. The Kunark dungeons mentioned are great spots for grouping as well. I've just found that it can be a challenge getting a well-rounded group together WITH crowd control. You will really want CC in these places (especially Droga (closely placed mobs = multiple pulls and lots of casters) and other zones which force you to go further into the dungeon before you can access an exit (Droga, Nurga etc.) Cazic Thule is another great place for XP however you also really do need CC there as well. SolA I know doesn't need crowd control.

i know what im doing ive lvled, PLed, played and geared countless race/class combos to lvl 60 in classic/kunark/velious and led guilds of 20-30 players raiding all end game content in classic/kunark/velious in just the last 3 years BUT it was on vztz and things are a bit different here most specifically the experience gain.

and agro is weird here.

and FD....

honestly just looking for something to do till i get a GD PL lmao

ill try solA/solB ive done them before and i can deal with being bound in neriak. maybe ill try lguk ive lvled so many toons in there clearing live side 35-45 and the whole dead side around 45-52. the mobs had lower HP and didnt hit as hard as solB and kunark shit at those lvls but not sure how it is here.

This is it, pretty much...I pretty much soloed a monk on live to 60 (little bit of grouping here or there). Lguk and Sol B were very kind to me in that regard...Lguk in the first part of my 50s, Sol B during the latter part, doing LDCs, etc...

ok so im in solA and i can do about 2 to 3 goblins before i need to rest at lvl 21 but i can handle the casters which i wasnt sure if i would, just need to time my bashes and use my FR/CR gear. if they were all young goblins would be a different story.

it still is a train fest because i just zoned at 1% from the biggest fucking train. already noticed a few pathing bugs when i pull the goblins to solB zoneline, they can often pop out of the wall behind me and this instance i pulled a goblin from the first door to the castle and ran back and somehow he pulled like 30 other goblins by the time he got to me. >_<

sadly there is no one else here so its not as fast as it could be but i def see a larger exp amount for dark blues in here.

Best no nonsense grind xp zones are the ones you don't tell other people about [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].

There are 3 very, very good ones esp for solo and duo that have not even been mentioned. I did some grouping and duoing with my warrior, but also soloed from 51-55 (getting just as good xp as group or duo). Oh and might I add: no fungi tunic, no fungi staff, non-troll, and buggy bind wound (could only bind to 50%). The bind wound cap and buggy damage tables hampered me from soloing 55-60 though

It is contributing. It tells anyone smart to figure good zones out then not go and tell everyone and their grandmother.
