Ok so I am guessing with the nerf to the campaign zones you can't do any skirmishes from 60 to 70 as you can't unlock the dread ring or shar skirmishes because you can't go there.

I don't do them often but decided to do the daily on my 63 paladin today for the extra ad and guess what she has no skirmishes at all she can que for. don't beleave me took screenshot

very annoying that the made this change in first place so now I can't even do vault of nine with her to get the artifact now I can't even do the skirmish daily either.

    Don't you *just* have to do the introductory quests, where you talk to the NPCs and such, to unlock the skirmishes?

    It was pretty sneaky the way they did it. They added a one-liner that said "say that...70's zone" and somehow that meant that most of the world was cut off if you were between 60 and 70.

    Recently they changed very core rules to PVP without even a one-liner in the patch notes, let alone a warning.

    Cryptic does things without warning or notice. Insofar as I know, they haven't even admitted to PVP rules changes after several weeks. I doubt anyone from there will say anything about this as well. It's a pretty sloppy way to run a game.

    Awesome. More broken HAMSTER that makes me glad my main is lvl 70 now but also annoyed that my alts will have to be lvl 70 to do the Vault and apparently 70 to do the skirmishes as well. The HAMSTER is the point in having a lvl 60 char if all you can do is invoke or elemental evil (aka Spinward) all day? At least before I could pretty easily work on stuff in Sharandar at 60 but now you can't even go there unless you already had it unlocked.

    ya pretty annoyed with this myself still my pally could handle all these zones instead of making them 70 only they should of took time and made them more like tyranny of dragons so that you can work on them as you level being they take so long to do anyway. and would give ya something to do rather then just run the same vigilance quests over and over.

    I guess I was lucky with my sub 70 GWF... he got the zones opened before the changes were made. My question is this... why offer 120 iL gear in Shar... for new 70's if you can't get any currency before 70?

    I have one guildie who will be buying the gear before he hits 70... because we have been taking him with us when we run Shar.​​

    I think there were people complained about that but with reverse argument. They asked: how can they get iLevel 120 from Shar if that is for completing Shar? Normal player would use the Shar campaign reward to get boon to progress way before they have extra to buy the Shar gear. That is they would not get the gear until they finished Shar. That does not make sense if that set is meant for fighting in Shar.

    So now, because the mob hit not as hard, I assume a new Level 70 character can use common level 70 gear to complete Shar in order to get the iL 120 gear in Shar so that they can use that set to go for the next campaign.

    meh, a set of 115's costs 15k in the ah, why bother farming for 120, easier and faster to farm black ice and get 122 from iwd ) can get a full set quick if you do the HE circuit and farm nodes, or just run VT till you get the alliance set,
    shar was the easiest of the 3. and plenty doable sub 70. they should have left it as such so at least the 60's have a break from the monotony that is EE grinding.

    The campaign zone gear should have set bonuses that give you buffs in the campaign zones, but lowered stats. So you get the gear from doing the campaign so you can do the harder parts of the campaign. Makes sense to me.
