hey guys, I could really use some advice at this point. I haven't really played in over 2 years. I did re-sub when kunark came out to lvl my SK to 80, but that was only for 3 weeks or so. I would really appreciate if someone could give me some gear advice and kinda point me in the right direction on where to hunt etc. with the new zones. I am on befallen server.

Thanks in advance!

Just pick up the TSO quest lines to progress your AA to 200. The quickest route to decent gear upgrades, at least to start with, would be shard instances doing the missions. They're quite likely to drop upgrades for you anyway but even if they don't you'll slowly build up enough shards to buy the t1 and then the t2 stuff, along with bling.

Once t2'd you will be gtg unless planning on raiding but even then it would be the minimum you would need to start getting considered for raid attendance anyway.

Oh, and shard missions reward AA even when repeated so triple win.

awesome..sounds like a good place to start. with my current gear will i be ok soloing the TSO quests and tanking these shard instances? Also, is there a sticky somewhere that gives me an idea of what the instances involve and where they start? thanks again!

The quests are almost all solo apart from the signature which has plenty of heroic content, there are shit loads of them so they should keep you going. With MC gear you should be able to do the easier shard instances. If you're struggling then pick up either a different healer or maybe a second.

The instances start in varying locations. I would stick to the ones in the Commanlands (see below), LavaStorm and EverFrost first. Remember to always check on the daily double given by Ragheejb Yasir in the drop zone on Ykesha Moors, he rewards two shards and a plat for completing his mission. Then get the daily mission for the same zone, usually found near/at the zone entrance.

Completing the requirements for the above three shards will almost certainly have you kill the keyholder and gain access to the shard chest giving you a run for 4 shards. Picking up one or two of the other instances will give you a further 2-4 shards thus quickly being able to acquire the t1 armour set a piece every couple of days.

The t2 shouldn't take much longer as you will prob be able to survive some of the medium difficulty zones once fully t1'd thereby getting 10-16 per day.

Below : TSO instances are covered here, including the level of likely difficulty
