Storyline dungeon Antitower question.

[WeekendSoja]

Right thanks for the help, still I don't get the logic of putting that high of a wall on the storyline quests. Though I doubt I'll get an answer to that one.

Sad to say but it's time to grind tomes, Gil, or void ark (if you can figure out why it's not opening for you).

With your explanation it's easy to see you've just hit the 3.2 storyline, thus the reason for the ilvl discrepancy. Patch 3.1 had a lot of venues for people to bolster their ilvl. The development team made the dungeon according to the achievable ilvl at the time with a variance down spec (plus or minus comes to mind for this example, except I believe the development team always chooses -10 ilvl to compensate player capability)

King, I actually have to travel today and won't be on. Soonest I'll be on is Wednesday evening.

Do your daily hunt bills to get super fast i180 gear with centurio seals. I am currently doing the same thing as you with my alts in prep for 3.3, and in two days I've already half geared them out in i180 gear and upped their item level to around i177 or so with no time or effort. In one week of just doing 15 minutes of hunt bills per day you can have a full i180 character ready for Antitower.

Those dungeons are somewhat hard to balance. It might take some effort for new players to catch up, but for anyone keeping their gear up to date, they were a joke to get through on day 1. If you want my opinion, they should have been another 10 or 20 ilvls higher considering the gear available to everyone when they were released (mix of 200 void ark and 210 upgraded eso).

It is pretty much same situation I and supposedly many others had when I was leveling through the 2.x. Since I had come in a bit late, when I reached level 50 the main story continued straight through to, I think keeper of the lake back at that point. Had to do some catching up before I could get on par with the end of the main quest line. Back then you weren't even handed the i90 gear on the job quest, nor the other equipment I hear they now give out on 2.x storyline. It was soldier gear (the lower tomes at that point), lucky dungeon drops (yes, even darklight items were an upgrade at first) and gradually getting ironworks as much as I could get my hands on poetics.
