Yeah very thing seem to poit to FG and they tell me there a good quest for this parts
XP is not good, but its pretty safe and straightforward and the recipe quest can be good money indeed.
There's usually people soloing there with their buffboxes - usually don't mind sharing buffs with a solo'er - just don't compete with them for mobs after they buff you.
well...not realy. I soloed there with Buffs (oop SE/PP) as a TH, with -10 con. I think I died there once in ~7 levels or so, cuz of chain stun. If i aggroed 3 doom knights, it was time to be a bit affraid. 2 doom knights was just fine, even if they stunned me it wasent that big of a deal.
