First few level 50 dungeons fall in the range of "after Darklight and before AF1.5"? Those were my exact words, and I mean them, I am talking specifically about gear like Shikaree's Doublet and Shirt Of The Divine Light. Crap from Amdapor Keep and Wanderers Palace are perfectly valid for a newb 50. Gear drops from Lost City are not. At that point you have vastly better options available to you, and even if you didn't, that gears drop rate is so pathetic that you'll be buying gear with tomestones before you see any of it actually drop.

FATE farming? Who'd bother with that. Go buy a stack of Hippo Leather and Sinew and just earn 1k seals/minute.

As for desynth. Darklight and Heroes/AF1.5 are great. Everything in between is fairly irrelevant. Again, my exact words were "after Darklight and before AF1.5".
