Scared to start any level 50 stuff.....any suggestions where to start?

[Hycinthus]

Finally hit level 50....but I read too many horror stories on here that I'm scared to start any level 50 content, and intimidated. Everyone in revenant toll is glowing in high armor aura.

What should I do first? Just grind the level 50 dungeons (Meridianum, Praetorium, Wanderer palace) to collect Mythology for my Allagan set pieces?

Are these places OK to enter with level 50 gear AF? Any other suggestions how and where to start?

I would start grinding myth tomes for the AF2 gear, and upgrade your weapon to at least the lvl 80 relic, then 90 through more myth tomes. The hardmode primals are easy and have an echo buff now (Can also get 80 weapons from titan hard). After you gear up to the 80s range can try the extreme primals etc. Just join learning parties or make your own. Alot of people still join learning pts pretty fast.

I don't remember the ilvl requirement on some of the 50 dungeons but I think they are around 47 or so. As you gear up more you can enter the higher ones for even better gear.

I'd suggest getting started on your relic weapon ASAP, running Amdapor Keep (It's been nerfed pretty hard by now, also need it for a step on your relic line) and most importantly, unlocking CT. You can jump in CT in AR gear pretty much and with the weekly limit lifted, you'll be swimming in myth and iLvl 80 left side gear in no time.

As I started as a tank, I typically felt the same way you did when trying out new dungeons especially since, as a tank, I'd hate not to know what I'm doing. I typically watch guides like MTQCapture's (https://www.youtube.com/user/MTQcapture) as she gives a nice simple overview of the dungeon and lets you in on most of the intricacies so you're prepped going in. The only way to really get comfortable running these dungeons is by running them a few times, experience is the best teacher even if you fail once or twice.

Also looking at your lodestone page you also might want to lvl PUG for the additional skills such as Internal Release (Crit hit up) and Second Wind. Both are extremely useful for Drg.

I would suggest you continue the main storyline (it will unlock things for you). Then do the level 50 related side quests (for fun). Then pull up the list of 'quests that unlock things', and go unlock things (so you have more options of what to do).

Once everything is unlocked, you can pick and choose what you want to do. One of the things you really want to have available to you is the daily roulette, so if you only have a little time to play you can do that and get bonus stuff ^.^b

Reccomended route if u already finished story in my option is :
1. CT - repeat this until full gear up 80/90 items , this will take a day or two
2. Relic - Grab ilv55 weapon from CG or better one from AH and with CT+mytho gear - this will be more than enough to finish relic in 5 or less hours (max 1day)
3. Work on all ->Dungeons<- that not done (do them at least 1ce , get in Brayflox to cap Soldiery + more myth)
4. Congratulations , now you "overgeared" to do EX/Coil content

No. This way is overgearing every content since you started with CT....

Relic should come when you're around iL65-70. getting there at iL80+ is a nonsense. Both not needed and overkill.

Recommended route should be :
=> WP and AK to get a few stuff and some myth. Do a couple CT too if you really want iL80 stuff but it's not needed at that part
=> when you're iL65 or so, do your relic quest (you can begin around iL55 up to ifrit IMO)
=> to upgrade your gear further, do all the other lv50 dungeons.
=> around iL75, enter Coil

55 - loot from Wanderer's Palace, Amdapor Keep
60 - loot from Pharos Sirius, Copperbell (hard), Haukke (hard)
70 - loot from Lost City of Amdapor, Brayflox (hard), Halatali (hard)
80 - loot from Labyrinth of the Ancients
90 - purchased with tomes of myth, loot from Binding Coil
100 - purchased with tomes of soldiery
110 - loot from Second Coil of Bahamut

You can skip right to Labyrinth to start getting i80 gear if you want since it is relatively easy, is 24-man content so the burden on each person involved is reduced, and requires only an average gear level of i50 to enter.

I'm kinda in the same boat. I'm almost done with the main quest. I've already tanked wp dozens of times. Is there some gear I should get before going there because everyone says I'm under equipped?!

[Milmoko_Gemoko]

I'm in a simlar boat - I finished 2.0 on Wednesday last week and because of work havent had time to start Lv50+/Chronicles of a New Era (whatever you wanna call post end-credits), I've been doing daily roulete, beast quests for my Myth tombes and already had most the Darklight iLv70 gear before 2.2 - currently iLv63.
So yeah I'm wondering what route to take since so many quest markers have appeared!
Suggestions please?
