Am I missing something at level 70? I only have one lvl 70 character currently and in practically every quest enemies are way to powerful. I went to Chult and the crabs on the beach killed me pretty dang quick. I must be doing something wrong. I try to use the best gear I can get, but it's obviously not helping.

Also, if you're not already, you should be leveling Leadership. Pick a set of tasks that give as much experience as possible and that complete on a schedule that is comfortable for you. Some people don't mind baby-sitting their characters' professions. Personally, anything that completes more frequently than every 4 hours annoys me and gets to feel like work after a couple of weeks. Leadership is important because, beginning at level 22, you can do "Guard the Clerics of Ilmater" and that awards a container that has unbound refinement stones in it (peridots, greater enchanting stones, moderate enchanting stones, etc). You can then use these either to refine your own gear or you can sell it on the auction house to get more AD. At level 24 Leadership, you can also do the "Guard the Wizard's Seneschal" task, which awards another container that has much the same stuff in it. These containers accrue relatively quickly and opening them during a 2x refining stone event makes them that much more valuable. (As a bonus, at level 17 Leadership you can generate labor for your guild, and at level 23 you can generate crates of astral diamonds for your guild.)
Then head to Sharendar. This is, at least to me, the easyiest Campaign to run (outside the Starter one). The Dread Ring is just a bit more challenging, but not that much. Elemental Evil is a really good third, with Underdark as being about the same. You should be running your Dalies for Tyrany of Dragons while doing all this.
As you do Daliy Randoms, you will accumulate Seals of The Protector. Use these to buy and restore an armour set from the Seal Vendor. Once you have a full set, you can use that to start Stormkings Thunder. Stronger characters won't really need it, but if you're still only around G.S. 10,000-12,000 all the special resists will be a real lifesaver, especially once you can Empower it.
Do the Cloked Ascendency whenever. It can be a TERRIFIC way to earn those Seals VERY quickly.
'Wen considered the nature of time and understood that the universe is, instant by instant, recreated anew. Therefore, he understood, there is in truth no past, only a memory of the past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore, he said, the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.' Terry Pratchet The Thief Of Time
Chult (Soshenstar in particular) is pretty demanding - and if you are not well prepared, you can get slaughtered quite easily. This is not just a matter of reaching a particular IL, although it is an indication.
- What is your "Resistance Ignored" percentage during combat. You really want it to be at least 60% for solo play.
- Which campaigns have you finished before?
- Do you have a decent stable of mounts, with good insignia powers?
- Do you have a decent set of companions, including a good summoned one with bonding runestones?
- Do you have armor/weapons/ring items with double enchant slots, and decent enchant levels - something like R10 in all slots?
- Do you have a full set of artifacts, and at what level are they?
Now, how well are you able to handle solo content in easier areas like Sea of Moving Ice and the River District? If you have problems there, you are just not ready for Chult. Also, even if you have the IL, your build might be all wrong. I remember one person who had a real problem killing things, turned out he had a "Healer DC" build, and was not even using the "heavy hitter" powers available to him.Basically we need more information to determine where the problem is.
Then, the tactics will flow better and more flexibility.
If you have any trade bars, you can buy decent chest/arm pieces pretty cheaply.
Seals can easily be obtained in river district by doing HEs there for 50 a time, 300 gets you a ring which will do till you get better in chult/omu.
Do the content and campaigns in the order they are listed in the campaigns window.
What a player contributes is up to them and is according to the goals they have for their characters. Improving their characters is more important than leveling the guild, and that is how it should be in my opinion. I don't want there to be any pressure on my members regarding how much they contribute or how often they play. I don't want them thinking that there might be some negative repercussions because I think they're not doing what I think they should be.
but don't worry everyone who quit because chult was to hard are going to come back to Ravenloft only to find more of the same
