Progression and confusion

Am I missing something? I have all the drow gear from Underdark, some good rings with 2 enchants and my iLvl is still only around 7900. I can't even get to normal Demo which requires 8400. That's still 500pts I need to find. How is it that I have all the gear from that campaign, but it's not even to reach the next step? PS, did they increase the nDemo requirements? Because I used to be able to do it with my first toon, but can't anymore either.

    Here are a couple of guesses/ideas - but keep in mind that the gear you are wearing has nothing to do with the campaign you are working on.

    -You get a lot of item level from your boons. Odds are you have not completed many of the boons from the campaigns to still be that low.
    - do you have mount insignia, even green ones in all of your slots? and do you have 5 mounts in your stable?
    - what rank are the enchants on your gear? Shoot for at least rank 7's in all of your slots
    - do you have 5 companions and is the main one wearing gear/has runestones
    - do you have 4 artifacts?

    Thanks Ravenskya.

    I didn't know the boons counted in the ilvl. I am done with Elemental Evil. Nearly completed Sharandar, Dread Ring and Maze Engine. I'll tackle others as I complete these.

    I also didn't know mounts and companions counted beyond the "active" one. I'll get that rectified and add 2-slot rings to my main companion as I just found those new mod12 rings this morning.

    I now also figure my Paly can't do nDemo now because I raided his companion's gear for my current toon's.

    Originally it was all in the gear - a few updates ago they made IL off of everything. So it gives a much better idea of the character's possible strength.

    If you have VIP you should be able to pick up a bunch of rank 7 enchants from the Tradebar store to add to all of your slots.

    If you are in a guild and they have guild boons - make sure to turn them on, they are worth a good amount of IL.

    Finishing Sharandar, Dread Ring, and Maze Engine should put you in a pretty good spot.

    With your suggestions, over the weekend, I went from 7900 to 9300. Thanks!
