Recently came back to the game and decided to level my main hunter. I noticed however that after reaching a certain level (100+) that gear drops stopped happening and also gear rewards for quests (just getting rep rewards for quests now). I don’t do any group content (or PVMP) and am having a hard time trying to get gear for my Bow Master Hunter. I don’t have a high enough level tailor to make him gear and the auction house never has any to purchase. I am currently at level 141 and most of my gear right now is around the 418-426 item level (and one piece at 405). Other than rep grinding for certain tokens (or having a tailor craft them) where can one get gear? My hunter character name is: Zarion
I honestly just follow the epic quest line and those quests reward gear good enough for me to keep going.
Other than that, I think doing missions is possibly another good option.
Thanks Whisper for commenting. I will keep following the epic book quests.
Maybe do Annak Khufru missions and turn points in for quartermaster gear?
For the current level cap of 150 and the solo player, Delving gear from doing missions at the Bloody Eagle Tavern in Umbar is the answer. The auction house usually will have jewelry for sale even if you don’t have any kind of guild (Fellowship) support. Embers of Enchantment for your cloak and maybe another odd bit or two depending on your class. From there, you should be able to get past the expected minimum requirements for running group instances for better gear. That is, Tier 1 instances, but by soloing alone i was able to meet the stat requirements (225k+ Critical Rating and Tactical Mastery for my Loremaster character) to get into Tier 2 instance groups. The active Fellowship i researched and joined on Glamdring runs instances with signup rosters every day of the week but i’ve found that I wasn’t really interested in gear farming for a bit better raid gear to be able to run instances better… but the option is there for you. It can be done solo. The item level on Pristine Delving gear is like item level 521+. The game’s loot system has a chance to drop better gear as it detects you are better geared so some of my Pristine gear from Level 9 solo delving runs is item level 527 but the item level by itself can be deceiving where the Instance raid gear might show up with the same or often slightly lower item level but its the gear set bonuses that end up making significant differences.
If you’re on North American servers and need a server and Fellowship recommendation, I’d say Glamdring’s Defenders of Helm’s Deep is a superb choice if you want to have a very large, active group of mature people to play with – instances, battlegrounds, leveling groups, and/or landscape.
Ideally, the stat caps your looking for are outlined in the attached screenshot depending on your class. Ooops. can’t attach an image.
