EQ:Mid levels  

Welcome to level 36,

This is a continuation from this

By now, you may have started to see the next batch of defiant gear dropping, Rough Defiant again, these will help you survive, and in this part you will start to see your experience bar progress more slowly.

If you have not been to Stone Hive yet, you may want to consider heading there, and doing these Quests to help you out.

At this point, you may also want to start consider joining a guild. That will help you get groups, as well as increase your network of friends. in this game you can never have too many friends, as you definately have an unlimited number of enemies.

Once you hit the 40's you have a few dilemma's to address.

First, most spells for casters will be dropped, or quested, or otherwise more difficult to obtain(aka buy). You may need to search the Bazaar, ask your guildmates, that is if you have joined a guild, learn to research, or go to out of the way places, usually by yourself, to kill the mobs that drop the spells.

Helpful hints to buying in the bazaar, i have had the best luck checking the Bazaar just before i go to bed at night, before i head to work in the morning, and as soon as i get home from work.

As stated earlier, XP will slow down, however this is mitigated if you stay in the hotzones, as you will be more easily able to get groups there, and in a group you can kill faster, and get more XP.

By now you are level 45, and may have seen Ornate Defiant armor and weapons dropping. These are definate upgrades to the previous set, and you will need it.

At this point there are some spell quests from the LoY expansion, i.e. Temperance for Clerics, that come in handy if you have not been able to get the spells made for you or found them for a reasonable price in the Bazaar. You may have been able to do them earlier as well. Take advantage of the current hotzones, look up what quests you can do while there, and make the most of your time.

Level 46, you can access some areas that you have not had access to before. The older raid zones were unlocked as of 4/17/2008, making it easier for people to access them for older quests that are not done as a raid any more. Most of these zones are fun to check out, and explore, however on the raid zones, just because you can zone in, you most likely will not live long there without a well geared group.

At level 50, you will want to start looking up your Epic 1.0 Quest, and consider starting that. The 1.0 is mostly one groupable, and some have said they soloable, but they will take a bit of time. Most of the items are outdated, and it is easier to get the 1.5 bypass quest to start on your 1.5, but a few are useful, i.e. Water Sprinkler of Nem Ankh

At level 51 you can start earning Alternate Advancment points.

New gear as well, Flawed Defiant armor and weapons should start dropping for you.

At level 54 you can now group with a level 80 character and get experience. You cannot do an instanced mission with them, but in an open zone you cangroup and get experience (usually at a BIG increase in XP)

At level 55 the spells are harder to get, you should start collecting all "Parchments" and "Scrolls" and the like that you find, i.e. Fine Runic Parchment and Shabby Fine Spell Scroll that are tradeskillable. These can be used to make spells, and most casters will be glad to make them for you just to get the practice in.

Level 57 is where you will be able to group with an 85th level level toon and gain XP, if they do increase the level cap next expansion.

You may even at this point have participated in a "Raid". This is when more than one group get together to take out a mob that cannot be done with a single group. These are generally the more challenging events in the game, and additionally, reward the best gear.

Level 60, you may want to look through the hotzone chart again, and hit up some of the old hotzones to get some Augments to beef up your armor if you have not already.

You will also start seeing Intricate Defiant armor and weapons starting to fall.

At 66, you may want to hit up some of the Omens of War zones to start getting the runes for these Spells

In no time you will be up to level 71, and ready for the next stage of the game.
