spend a whole lot of time killing any of the eyeball mobs, simply because they
creep me out, but I hear they are good soloing fun. I like to hit the
Aviaks. It's not hard to find single and linked solo mobs for your
adventure and skill level. Once you've outgrown mobs on one isle, move to
another, and you are bound to find more that suit your needs.
But truly, I would recommend spending some time with a good group within
the instanced zones. The Palace of the Awakened is my favorite, but any of
the zones that I listed above under "Zones Located Within the Barren
Sky" are great choices. They provide challenging mobs, nice loot, and
lots of fun.
with this guide, take your sense of adventure into this zone, or any of the
zones in the Kingdom of Sky expansion for that matter, and have some serious
gaming fun. Happy gaming!
