Hey everyone,
I'm newish player who made a bunch of attempts over the years to get into AoC, but only really found a footing recently with a character who got past level 20 or so (Conq). As a long-time TSW player I think the world difficulty level really hit home post-EPE nerf over in that other game. I'm loving more careful pulls and the general slower pacing of the leveling so far.
In any case I've been mightily enjoying myself, but at the same time as I approach mid-game (I'm sitting at level 38 currently) I'm realizing that I'm not exactly certain what I should be aiming for going forward. I am under the impression from my own research that a good deal of the expansion packs can be a little "pick and choose" in terms of what they offer for progression forward. This is more of a "plan for endgame 80 gearing" than really needing help with the 40+, but I still wonder what I should be aiming for when I do hit 80 and want to get started on Crom PvE endgame stuffs. I have RotGS and I believe the faction equipment is a early good step at 80, correct? I also used the recent sale to grab Turin and Dragonspine, which I believe were the expansions I gathered had the most useful gear and progression-based content?
A lot of what I've found myself is older (from 2013ish) and I believe it is mostly still the case, but I wanted to check. Specifically I think I should start with the RotGS faction equipment at 80. The other question is if it is worthwhile to do the Turan 50-55 zone when that comes up?
Thanks!
