At 33, there are a couple of quest series you might want to look into. The EL quest line starts with the Deputy at the bottom of the dock steps, and results in some pretty decent stuff for around that level. In Zek, there's a gnome by the merchant tent that will give you a quest to find different locations in Zek, which results in a decent plate BP. And all the quests are easily soloable (though they might get a bit drawn out.)

<DIV>If you can't afford mastercrafted armor, feysteel at that teir, find a group and hit EL and runnyeye.  Runnyeye got a ramvap a while back and loot seems just rain from the sky in there.  Lot's of real nice fabled and legendary stuff in there, I remember when I got the 2hander battle axe in there, cleaver of something, I still have that thing in the bank!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Not sure what server your on but yea finding a group some days is just a pain but keep that LFG tag up and hit the chat channels advertising your LFG.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As for armor to look for, mit > everything else is the base rule.  I only try to get my stats lvled out with jewelery.</DIV>

Thanks all.. since its late now and i had a nap.. im going to roll into rov till i get em... (especially treedog, you rock ^^)

<DIV>also when you find a group, and play with the same group for a couple hours, add those people to your friends list... i use to have a hard time finding groups but not anymore, i can log in and have a tell sent to me before i'm in game.. it helps alot with finding groups..</DIV>
