I think that Sol A would be a little too tough at that level. You would have to
fight near the entrance, and a) there aren't enough goblins there to be useful,
b) you'll be trained, c) you'll fall in the lava and d) the goblins you can beat
will not drop much of interest. (I had a GREAT time in Sol A the other night,
though, grouped with 5 other level 30-34s, and a level 42 ranger. We kept the
King room, the foyer and the next room clear with the 30s - the ranger soloed
stuff deeper, pulled some for us, and used us as backup. Got an Evil Eye bag
full of FS, about 60pp in cash, arms for the Bard armor, and the Ring of the
Goblin Lord (we had three of them drop). Plus 2+ bubbles in maybe 7 hours.
Perhaps the best pickup group I've played with, even if the entire party did get
wiped once. I couldn't even COUNT how many goblins there were...)

I also think that Cazic is too tough at your level, and Permafrost is too empty
- you would need to prearrange a group. Your best bet is probably Unrest, and
maybe Upper Guk (train city there, too).
