Leveling Gear

So, how are we supposed to get that "Eternal" leveling gear if it is basically impossible to do anything in Well of Dragons at level 61 to earn the fangs for it? That doesn't seem right.
And if I ask in zone chat for help all I get is silence. People don't even help when they see me die there. All I can really do is lure enemies into other players so they kill them for me and I get some credit, but that's kinda rude.

    The old purple T1 and T2 gear should get you through to 70 with little difficulty. Zone chat is and always has been pretty much useless...

    The new Mod has forced people to party up.. hopefully you have friends or a guild who can help you out.

    The well has become a ghost town. But to your point, that is another epic screwup in this Mod. My friend and I tested on preview, and saw this coming. So we made sure we had what we needed for the Eternal armor AND the Burning PVP set before this went live. Not every one was able to do that... nor is that their fault. Not to mention paladins never had a chance to do that.

    In my opinion... they need to change what is needed to get that gear. It is absurd that in order to get level 61-69 leveling gear, you have to have campaign currency from a level 70 area.

    Epic.. Epic Fail.

    You are my guild :P

    I think this could be solved if you could give the fangs to another character on your account, so you can use your level 70 to get fangs for your alts.

    Yes, I know I am. ;-)

    A lot of stuff is "Bound to Player" to prevent bot farming for this sort of stuff. I do have a few ideas that may help, but that will be shared in the Guild forum. ;-)

    There should bring back the drake/unicorn seals vendor so we can spend our Ardent coins on them and buy blue lvl61-69 gear.

    Kinda pissed I didn't cash in all my coins for purple salvage before mod6 dropped.

    Is there any generic vendor that sells 60+ gear, for gold or ad. Aside from epic gear that requires campaign items?

    Another thing that is messed up, you manage to lvl up to 70 to work on campaign progression. You look into the Sharandar and Dredring shops and all they have for sale is lvl 60 useless epic (epic useless) gear. Gearing up pre-70 was an uphill battle, gearing up post-70 to actually be viable for working on your campaign progression is scaling a skyscraper during said battle without a harness or rope.

    Keep running dungeons (doesnt matter which one of the 3 available at lvl60-70) and you will get all your rares there. Next step is pvp gear once they bring seals back for daily quest. MH + OH is from new areas after finishing 40+ boring quests or so. After that you should've enough item lvl to queue for 1600 dungeons, but... expect to get kicked a lot as people expect you to overgear the content.

    At lvl 61 you're supposed to be in the drowned shore. There will be an occasional blue drop or blue quest reward with the extra hitpoints you need, if you follow the quest line.

    Yeah, if you can't afford Eternal gear, the vigilance task force quests reward decent green or blue gear with stats appropriate for the new paradigm (i.e., lots of HPs).

    I understand that the 3-man dungeons can drop blues as well.

    No? They don't give "decent" gear at all. Just a piece here and there that's obsolete after the next level up.
    Also my concern here was why level 61 characterbound gear is only obtainable by doing the hardest level 70 quests. It just doesn't make any sense...

    How can you say that it's "obsolete" since you're only 61 and may have seen at most ONE of these pieces of gear we're talking about? We have seen all of this gear. And it is ok for levelling. You haven't.

    Do I know you? Maybe I have more than one character?

    Well up to L63 I haven't had a single decent drop or reward. In particular, NONE of the drops (even at higher levels) feature an Enhancement slot in the chest. So that means a choice between more HP (required) or your Armour Enchant (also required).

    Just one more half-baked idea from Mod 6.

    I agree that HP is required if you don't have an epic armor set from pre-mod 6. But armor enchant? Handy, yes; required, no.

    The old Drake/Unicorn Seal Vendor now has "Bags of Raw AD" for sale, one PgDown down his list, for 20 Seals, respectively. Rates are fairly decent...

    Those are the only items still buyable with those Seals, and slack Seals below that 20 will probably remain in your currency inventory until they shut the servers down.

    But your problem should be somewhat resolved by this...

    Agreed, that's why I got 80 linus for boons before mod 6 comes out o.o
