Best item you killed/quested for, solo.Follow

32 is really a rough spot for shaman soloing. I did it in Dawnshroud Peaks on the patch of mushrooms near the rockhopper caves. They can be single pulled if you're careful but watch for jerks training you as they try to run along the walls from the caves. Once you hit 34 and get your pet you will find yourself to be a very competent soloer again and will remain so throughout the rest of your career. Scooby really does make a great roadblock once you get used to him but don't expect him to tank like a warrior.

It depends on your class really. A good soloing class(necro, druid, ect.) can easily solo mobs that drop nice gear for thier level.

A harder soloing class(warrior, cleric, warrior ect.) you're right, is going to have more trouble obtaining items useful at thier level soloing.

I've always had decent luck camping The Great Oowomp in T.D., he drops several INT items that always seem to sell in the Bazaar.

Queen Nyhalia finally coughed up a Guardian of the River for my young mage to loot. Looks like a mighty water crystal staff when equipped -- yay!

I don't know if it's the best, but it's nice to have something a bit unusual. I don't know anyone else who has even heard of the thing, much less owns one.
