Elder Druid Guidance
You will waste, it will be harder than a Elite Knight but you will have a lot of fun.
Now that that's out of the way let the guidance commence.
I started my ED the same as the other but used a different rook script so they wouldn't steal each others exp.
Once you're in main I'd suggest getting a Spike Sword, if ones not available get a serpent sword and you'll be heading to Darashia Rotworms or Hidden Larvas, the poison damage lost by serpent is no big deal at larvas, it's still a viable weapon.
At around 22 when you get the Northwind Rod you can head Peninsula -2
At 35 and above you could try Earth Elementals, they're supposed to be good but it's heavily botted so I went to Port Hope Tarantulas instead and did the task, it was a waste but good exp and got me a few task points.
Around 50 I moved to the Stone Tomb beyond TP, it was good.
You can also try Dragons in Ank if you can find a script or Darashia Dragons
At 80 I headed to Water Elementals, dying a few times but worth it once I figured to add thunderstorms and use a magic ring if more than 3 WE on me.
At 100 I started using Nakuu's Ancient Tombs past flame, good exp and profit on rares.
At 150 I've been botting Port Hope Hydras for task points, mega waste but good exp and for task points.
As you can see I didn't really know what I was doing so I might one day do another Mage and see how I can level it again and see how it goes, I'm sure I'm forgetting several places though.

Paladin
For my Paladin I started it as facc using Salamanders til level 30.
From 30 to 90 I stayed at Yala Minos with the 2x voucher, it was risky at first but after 35 the exp and skyrocketed and there was no danger.
At 90 I used Stone Tombs RP and then at 95 I started using Cemetary -1 and I'm still there at 130, 2x exp voucher allowed me to stay at Minos getting 100k exp an hour.
I may do another Paladin some day again to get a better feel for it too.
