My suggestion is to try to carefully go after orc pawns in Greater Faydark.

There is also a good, little known area right outside the port in the Butcherblock
Mountains. Zone to BB, hook a right at the crossroads, and follow that path all the
way past Kaladim til you get to the last guard fort before the port (If you hit a
little henge stone, you've gone too far). At the fort, go left. You'll come to a group
of about 6 stones, with two dwarf NPC's. This area is rife with large skunks, goblin
grunts, and rock spiderlings. There are even a few Krag chicks, which give great
exp (for level 5, anyway). Make sure you con the chicks 1st, some of them are toughies.
When you load up on the loot, you can run right to the port. There's a high elf merchant
inside and to the right.

When you hit six, you'll have graduated from this area, except for the chicks. But
for 5, it's a good area for the solo wiz.

Hope this helps!
