As im closing in on lvl 56 on my sh - I was wondering if there are a better place for me to lvl at.
Im running with my se lvl 56 aswell - out of party sometimes and in the party sometimes.
I got full avadon set - and +3 SOV (with accuman)
Not sure if it will be of any help to you since I'm a PR, but I've been leveling north of Ivory Tower in the Outlaw's Forest off of Elder Tarlk Basilisks and Ol Mahums of various types. I'm currently level 59 and the enemies are either green or light blue to me (my preferred enemy level range).
If green is also your preferred enemy level, then the southern central part of the forest has lower level enemies. As you move further northeast you'll find the enemies steadily increasing in level.
I'm about to outlevel my spot in one level, so I'd also like to ask if anyone knows of a good spot for a level 60 character to solo that's bereft of mage or archer enemies.
Depending on the server (how much crowded it is on yours :P), do The Royal Members ->Kail's Magic Coin Quest and go Forsaken Plains. Great Exp (especially shapeshifting shamans, I was amazed) and money! But it may be so crowded that it isn't worth it so much...
both suggestions are good. You could also just keep moving farther back in the cemetary and eventually just hunt Forbidden Gateway. Both locations have decent quests.
I suggest Forbidden Gateway, Devestated Castle area, or Valley of Saints, especially if you have an SE.
Forsaken Plains in my opinion is ok for the nuker, but there are usually tons of farmers and not enough beasts. Plus the Orc Shamans will morph on you, meaning you'll just wind up using more spells than necessary to level (picking spots where you can 2 shot mobs is always best, but that is hard to do on the orc shamans, since they like to change into nasty kitties on you after the first hit, thus gaining a fresh hp bar.)
As for the archer, I think all of the above areas, except for Devestated Castle, have mobs that are archery resist. Have you overenchanted your bow yet? If so, don't let the archer resist thing stop you. At about +6 you can still do enough damage on your bow on archery resist mobs to level at a decent rate. Just be careful where you kite. Most of the above areas have social and aggro mobs. Have fun!
