  you probably don't want to be able to do 'all' the dungeons the t3 are mostly for players 13k iL upwards
  and you would need to almost finish 2 campaigns to get access to them
  
  I guess getting some pets to legendary and ranking up their bondings and all your offense/defense slot enchants , all the artifacts to mythic ,get in a guild with GH20 boons for 1500 iL .. etc
  
  getting as many boons done as you can will also now help your iL... armor kits and jewels on all pieces.
  
  run t2 dungeons and get some of the iL450 chest/arms/head /feet piece drops before you go adding any kits
  
  I think that might cover some of the basics

  I am still a little blur..... which are the tier 2 dungeons that I should be looking into? Can 10 Million AD settle getting artifacts to mythic level and if someone could please tell me which are the new items I should be trying to get from Tier 2 dungeons?
  
  Sorry if I am still blur.

  If there is a Double Refine event, then you should be able to get 4 artifacty to mystic level for around 6-7 million, perhaps even less. Sadly, you just missed the last event. But the next should be here in a month or two.
  
  Also a good iLvL source is your companions. Everything you summoned one wears adds to your level. Try to get a mercenery or something else, that attacks frequently and has a nice buff (Or start with an epic one, as you save a load of diamonds for upgrading). Give it 3 Bonding Runestones (normal one should be relatively cheap and already adds 105% stats), aquire some decent companion gear, if possible with 2 enchantment slots, and slot rank 7 enchantments. That should be possible for less than a million.
  
  Then try to get some decent mounts with good insignia slots, and some blue insignia to slot.
  
  The next important source are blessings. A very easy way to get a good deal of iLvL out of it is to join a guild, that grants 2-3 blessings. You just need to be a member of the guild and then you can access the stronghold map and activate one blessing in the categories offense, defense and utility each. If being a guild member is not your thing, perhaps you find one, that is willing to let you freeload for a month or two, using their blessings, until you had the time to upgrade some more equipment.
  
  Also, do not forget the campaign blessings. Sharandar, Dread Ring and Underdark take some time to finish, but the daily commitment is not much, and in case of Underdark, doing the Throne skirmish two times a day nets you also some additional AD and Rings.
  
  For your existing equipment, first aim for artifact gear. A necklace and belt that match with an artifact for a good set bonus, and one of the elemental weapon sets, (If with Earthen Symbol you do not mean the artifact one and not the one from Elemental Evil, then you are good for now), which you can craft or buy for a moderate price. Your armor slots have quite good equipment. There is nothing better that you can buy for a small price. You could try to get some Masterwork Equipment, but this will cost you much and with the next Mod in about a month you can aquire some 420 iLvL equipment for small amounts of AD.
  
  
  I think, with companion, mount, and guild blessings you should be able to reach your goal in a very short time without investing too much for short time gains (especially as these usually do not become obsolete with new mods). Upgraded Artifacts and artifact equipment also is a good long-term investment, but you really should try to wait with the refining for a double event (and then use cheap artifacts, that ou buy in advance to maximise your refining). Campaign blessings will take time, but some are really worth it. Also you should think about doing the River District campaign for very good artifact weapons. It will take some time to farm the bound items you need for that, but in a month (or even faster with additional farming) you should have what you need, and you will be able to buy other needed items from the AH.

  You probably will want to mostly do Castle Never because it has two chests and gives you the chance to get high IL rings there. Strive to get to 9500 fast and do Demagorgon for rings as well. You can find really cheap purple mount insignia that will give you a quick IL boost, they will not be the most desirable stats but as a cleric you will don't need super stats for even master Svaborg, the dps classes have that problem more.

  Purple Insignia for mounts is a good idea. Making sure you have a full stable of three slot mounts is a good idea also. As is raising Enchants as these can be removed and added to new armour pieces as you get them.

  here's a list of the t2 dungeons iL450 chest/arms/head /feet piece drops
  from here

  also if your guild or alliance is able to build the mysterious merchant
  there are these items available for guild marks

  I need some help remembering, what keys do you need for different dungeons and skirmishes? Does the daily dungeon key open everything?

  The soft way to increase item level without spending AD or too much AD.
  
  1. join a guild who has a decent level of guild boons.
  2. get the boons from campaign.
  3. pets.
  4. 5 mounts with insignia filled.
  5. Artifact belt and neck. They are pretty cheap unless you want the really best one. Fill them with the gear you pick up from the ground.
  6. Get gear from SH merchant (after you join the guild).

  *** The game can read your mind. If you want it, you won't get it. If you don't expect to get it, you will. ***

  so far i would recommend you to get r12 bonding and a sellsword companion(maybe try to get him to epic quality at least) from the pet shop were you first did the comapnion quest(cant remeber the name of the building ). and would recommend get a good amount of runic bags from ZEN store when 50% or 40% discounts are active, because dc class nowadays is most wanted/needed class in game, about mounts the green mounts give you some bonus like protectors friendship and artificier influence for you to begin, later one will be protectors camaradarie and artificers persuasion, dont just addd il for that item level dont say much about players potential (some player have high item level but suck on playing the class other have low item level and play better).
