Did i miss any place?
If you have emp then BS works. Otherwise the only other place I can solo is FOTD.
If anyone has any other ideas I'd love to hear them.
Blazing Swamp was the only one I had to add to that. Forest of The Dead as well. Both places are much better with a buffer/recharger. BS has the advantage that you can hunt there for the reagents quest.
I was at forest of the dead with a spellhowler *once* - it seems easy to get in trouble there, if you aren't paying proper attention. Even more so when the SE isn't actively played. But it sounds like it's a pretty good place, from what other people are saying :)
When I was 72, there was only Blazing Swamp. It's a decent place, but it doesn't have the field xp bonus.
There is a ton of places. but they tend to thin out once you get past 75.
you can get going some small partys you can can try FoG. and do the S/g weapon quest. I think you need to be 74 for the quest.
I think quest wise eather BS or WoA is best.
FoTD has a quest you can do that will net you free XP from it. you don't make a ton of XP but it's a fair bonus..you get 305k XP which at 70+ isn't even 1%, on PTS it was worth about 15 mobs.
I'm sorry I totally forgot to add, that silenos are a good place for a 72+ to hunt as well. they are like 2X HP. the ones out side the place are 1X but very hard for meely.
With a buffer, a SH would do well killing Antelopes in the early rooms of Wall of Argos. Antelope Slaves will need rooting by the SE though. Great XP solo.
You will kill even faster in Garden of Beasts (NOT Beast Farm) in Goddard. Mobs are 1/2 HP so you can kill many in a short time - buffalos, bandersnatch, and grendels.
Take a trip to the Hot Springs with you SE and nuke antelopes, buffalo and yetis. The best area surrounds Chef Jeremy's tent. If you use Dawn Priest, port to Hot Springs entrance and run up until you see the tent in the center. The lower areas and upper-most area are not solo friendly. Mobs there cast beneficial disease (malari/cholera) buffs that help cast speed and such, but ouch they hurt when they hit.
At lvl 71, get the Finest Foods quest from Chef Jeremy. You will kills the three mobs I mention and have a chance at getting S-grade jewelry recs.

i done the quest 16 times and only got 1 recipie
the rest i only got xp (equivilent to about 20 mobs)
cdling those guys seems to be a popular choice with SH and necro they are all non-agro and only communal with the same type of mobs
could also try shrine of the loyal
All the areas just outside Goddard are decent as well. The 1/2 HP mobs give ~4500 xp and you can 1-shot them with Empower. The mobs in FOTD give a bit more xp, but I dislike competing with all the other people that go there.
I scanned through and most of the advice is good. Assuming you have emp3, here is my two adena for best XP solo spots:
1> Forest of the Dead -> My favorites: Bone Slayers, Requiem group mobs. Level 73 is a bit tougher to find a good XP spot with no purple but even with the XP penalty this is a good and safe area to level solo (note: Requiem group mobs are risky to solo but still works out OK). This area spawns fast so if you don't have an SE recharging you will need to use Death Spike to control MP to avoid downtime.
I get about 3% / hr in a duo with SE here.
2> Wall of Argos -> Canyon Antelopes and Canyon Antelope Slaves. Root is not needed. Suck it up and use Vamp Claw. Only takes 3 shots (4 for the slaves) without using CDL possibly 2 or 3 with CDL but I haven't tried since not worth the risk.
I get about 2.5% to 3% / hr in a duo with SE here.
You can go in deeper and hunt the 3X mobs and the Eyes for good XP but this is tougher in a group. If you have an SE that can root the XP is way better deeper in.
I also like the 1X mobs near Imperial Tomb (ants and beetles) but the XP is not quite as good. It is a lot easier and you could probably CDL here although I haven't tried it.
3> Hot Springs upper area as already described. Haven't done this enough to know if it is good XP or not. CDL is 3 shots for about 15K or so XP so it is decent. But have to have fast cast speed.
4> One area I am now revisiting...Silent Valley group mobs. The mobs I'm trying out are the Black Shadow group. I think it is about 25K to 30K XP per group in 7 shots so good XP / shot. I have just tried this last night so don't know what kind of hour rate I can get yet. Maybe 3% to 4% per hour. I'm going to try again to see since I'm sick of the Forest of the Dead right now.
5> Blazing Swamp I don't like so much. It is the least XP / hour of all the others I've tried and the drops not very good either.
Thanks alot for all replyes, think im gonna give shrine of loyal a shot once i ding 72, the mobs seem to be 73 - 75 so i hope maybe they are good til im 78.
I dont feel comfortable when i have to 3+ shot the mobs since i lag alot.
Well im guessing that SotL is crowded.
And another question is it worth to lvl the SE farther than 72 - 74? Or do all the other duelboxers lvl their pets as high as it gets?
Just double checking there is no quest there? shrine of the loyal that is?
Does "arcane protection" protect against stun sleep? Also what happens in c5 when the max lvl is 80 since recharge is only good +5 lvls, does the eh whats it called thing "enchance skill"? work like new skill lvls?
btw there is no new skills 79 80 so is all u gain a higher succes rate when enchancing the skills? Or maybe its a bit to early to ask?
An alternate place where you can kill nonestop in an insane speed is to hunt 1/2 HP mobs
Where is that?... well I'm thinking about the pits under Giant Caves.
All the group mobs are lvl70-77 (I think) they have like 2.000 - 2.200 HP and you get like 7.500 - 9.000 XP for each kill.
A few of them even has weakness to wind attack.
I think you can one-shoot those with ease, and if you use CDL you will have more power and more MP so you can go longer time between recharge.
Actually me(lvl62 SH), my buddy (a lvl63 Sorc.), a DA(lvl57) and a lvl60 PP+SE for out of party buffing is thinking about testing this area right now :).
The plan it to let the Sorc. mass sleep the mobs, then I nuke them with CDL and should any mob come past the sleeping cloud, the DA will pick it up with the Hate Aura.
I don't know if it's working... but we will try to test it later today.
Under Giant Cave is the Silent Valley area I mentioned above. The lowest level group can be one shot except the Golems which are matk resist take 2 shots.

The lvl difference of the Recharge skill affects SEs and EEs, and I've not yet read what, if anything, is planned to resolve it.
My SE is 74 now and I would only level him beyond that IF it meant his mana regen skill would be positively affected. We leveled him to 74 simply to max out his regen, heals and root. Most people stop at 72 for Vamp rage 4 or 70 for Wild Magic 2.
Arcane Protection: Temporarily increases resistance to buff cancel and de-buff attack. It's a magic defense buff an SE/EE can give.
