The briefing

No class takes more out of Stranglethorn Vale than a paladin.

No class takes more out of Stranglethorn Vale than a paladin.16 of them drop from creatures living only here; the other 43 are rewards the zone keeps to itself.Zandalar Freethinker's Breastplate is the pick of the board, paid out by Paragons of Power: The Freethinker's Breastplate.

Paragons of Power: The Freethinker's Armguards starts here at level 60, and hands a paladin Zandalar Freethinker's Armguards for it.The Alliance board here runs to 65 quests against the Horde's 53, so the two sides are not walking the same zone.By level 60 another 738 world drops can surface here, but they surface anywhere in Eastern Kingdoms and there is nothing to chase.That is enough to clear the zone out rather than pass through it.

206 world drops could surface for a level 32 paladin — anywhere at all, so there’s nothing to chase here.

Something in here is wrong.

Say what it is. It goes straight to a person.
