Starting Up AgainFollow

Because of various iLevel additions, pretty much any content made during 75 cap can be done in very small groups these days.

With armor, emperian is actually less useful as there are sets from the new "records of emminance" feature that while nowhere near the best for their ilevel, are still better than most regular level 99 gear. It also wont take long to get the armor and weapon for your job as most of the tasks that give large (albiet one time) bonuses are along the lines of "total damage" "damage for more than a certain amount a number of times" and killing a certain number of monsters.

Relic and even Artifact gear are much more useful due to the reforging system, which turns them into a higher level type of armor (though relic armor reforging requires items found in adoulin content).

I'm sure other people could give you a more in depth description of various features.

Still go after and get any emp armor that was useful before SoA it is a given at this point they are going to reforge it like they have done with af and relic armor. As for af and relic you can get it to ilevel 109 pretty easy and the mats for 119 for both can be bought off the AH. Af being a little cheaper to a lot depending on slot and for relic though they can cost a pretty penny still better then having the only option being grinding delve.

Salvage was made into solo entry so if you were good at soloing it but not getting people to enter you it has open up as a good money maker. Higher level versions of old bcnm fights have been added and that is were the first stage of items needed to reforge af gear comes from as well as the crafting mats need for the 119. There are now higher level version of the AA and ZM end fights offer the EX items needed for the 119 but those can also be obtain though sparks all be it kinda slow but better then nothing and you will be racking them up doing pretty much everything.

Skirmish is still being done for base weapons, and a new skirmish was just added that takes your skirmish weapons to 119 and can be on par to better then delve boss weapons depending on luck with the rng. Skirmish 2 is still done as well for KIs for the 113 version and 30 of wings can be traded for 1 of a new wing that with 6 can be traded for the new KI for 119(again slow as hell but you can still come out slightly ahead).

Legion is done by some LSes as a money maker still drops one of the best grips in the game but don't expect to see many shouts for it.

Dyna is still a money maker with relics getting 119 they good again and two 100s can be used to take a base relic and skip all the trails when you reforge it even the exp trail. VW is the same HMP plates and mats needed for relic reforging also form them so can walk away with a good little pay day.

Sky, sea and limbus not so much right now, won't count them out just yet but nothing is said to be in the works for them. Some new gear has been added that come close or passes the last of the good stuff to augment like genbu shield that you can buy off the AH for much less then a perfect augment would cost.

Campaign is getting some tweaks making taking control of areas easier and they are going to be allowing skill ups with tags here soon, this also goes for reives as well in SoA.
