Minimum iLvl - Leveling Dungeons

[BillyKaplan]

I am fully onboard with this. It would be harder to implement for ARR but there's really no excuse in HW onwards. The game practically throws gear at you with full HQ crated gear sets available from both MSQ quests as well as side-quests. And that's before the vendor items that are readily available for very little cost. As for Sirensong, 270 is too much but you can very easily enforce something around the 230-229 item level the the least. The MSQ gives you Lore item coffers, and that's before all the poetics you're going to get just running the story-required MSQ dungeons which will let you get Shire gear.
The biggest issue I see here is that the game's going to have to be a lot more forthcoming with information regarding this sort of thing. Mark quests that give you gear as awards. You hit x0 for the first time? Text popup telling you where to get your tome gear for this level. And of course the occasional "you're about to enter a difficult battle, let me examine your gear" roadblock like they did in frigging level 5 that everyone either forgot or outright skipped because story potion would do this game a world of good.
