what axe is suitable?

[-DMR-]

At the moment, I have a Lv49 axe. I want to either enter Dzemael Darkhold for a Lv44 gc quest (Shadows Uncast) and get a higher rank, or go for the big finish of the original storyline with the final two quests that end it.
On the Rock The Castrum quest where I would enter Castrum Meridianum, what axe would be suitable for it? Does it have to be a Lv50 axe, just like the same level as much of the warrior gear?

I'm currently on BRD, making use of bow and arrows abit more. I may or may not have switched back to WAR by the time many people have seen this

If a lvl 49 axe is what you have then you'll be fine. The higher the level, the better it is, obviously, but it really doesn't matter for Castrum.

If it's your first trip into Castrum, any axe will be fine. Unfortunately, your party members are unlikely to wait for you to watch the cutscenes before they initiate the battles. May as well be prepared for that when you enter.

Don't be shocked if they also try and Vote Kick you for watching them. Seriously, people seem to have this disgusting attitude when running the last two 2.0 story dungeons. Watch the videos to your heart's content, though. It's your $10 a month, do what you want.

Although I disagree with blatant vote kick abuse, the "it's my $10 a month attitude" is an incredibly selfish one to take, since it's technically "our $70 a month" too.

But that's just it, you aren't paying for their subscription so you have no say in how they play. And it's not 'our $70' as much as it's 'your $10'. I routinely wait for people to watch cutscenes because it's only decent to give them that time. We were all in that spot, running content for the first time. It's only fair to let them have their few minutes of movies. It isn't hurting anyone.

Lv 49 Axe is good enough for Castrum.
After Castrum you can start the relic quest to get a ilevel 80 axe (first relic) and ilevel 90 axe (first upgrade of the relic).
If you want a level 50 axe then buy that one you would need for the relic quest afterwards. For the WAR relic this should be the Barbarian's Bardiche (ilevel55)

This, if you'd like to GC rank up after Castrum, you can get the ilvl 55 GC weapon to ease your entry into level 50 content, but you'll quickly replace it with a primal dropped weapon, and a relic soon after

Pretty sure you have to finish Praetorium to access A Relic Reborn.

I dont remember if the older dungeons give soldiery, but you can probably purchase the soldiery weapons once you hit level 50 (Weathered Conquerer ilevel 100) , which will make tanking a lot easier. It will still be hard though since most people will probably double your ilevel.
