3.x MSQ iLvl block

[Pori_Dessu]

I found PotD to be fairly quick for tomestone farming, but pulling it off in a few days (along with the MSQ) will be difficult. I'm sure there are faster methods, but PotD is mindless and less stressful, so it's easier for me to spam it.

I also sympathize somewhat with your plight. If SE wants to go the route of providing augmented quest rewards to help people catch up (a la ARR's 2.x quests), they should really make the change a few months before the new expansion launches. That's the window during most returning players will be catching up.

Yeah, it's just kinda weird that they gate pretty much all of the expansion (Which attracts a bunch of new and returning players to the game) behind 422 (Literally) quests AND gear grinding, without making it easier for players to catch up to that (At least gear-wise) before the expansion launches (One month prior, or even two weeks).

Or vendors.... they don't have to give you free gear for them to make gear easy to obtain.

Yeah, but to get access to the vendors that sell those items, you have to get to the expansion areas, which are gated behing the previous MSQ.

I think someone mentioned it, maybe, but the new areas in SB should have vendors who sell cheap i255 gear (just like the first HW vendors in Foundation and such sell lvl 50 i115 gear). If you have a friend who has access to the new areas, maybe have them buy the i255 vendor gear, which should be pretty cheap, and mail it to you. That way you'd get a full 255 set pretty fast on SB early access release day ^^

I would do that, but since I've been away from the game for 3 years, and actually got a server transfer, my friendlist literally has only my sister (level 40 BRD lol), and a guy I kept running on during dungeons, which is in the same boat as me. lol

PvP is probably your fastest avenue right now. You can get full 235 with several hours of frontlines. You will need to speak to the disreputable Priest at the Wolves Den Peir to purchase the gear. At the very least you should be able to get enough pieces to get into the next dungeon and then use lore, dungeon acquired gear and more PvP stuff to get to the next step.

The alternative if you have a lot of gil available from a friend or saved up previously is to just buy crafted gear.

Will spam some PvP tonight (Probably pull an all-nighter). As for gil, I have like, 300k or less, can't remember at the top of my head, since I never got into crafting, and had to buy gear for leveling my DRK to 50.
