Gustav's crypt is one of my favorite areas in the game.

Perhaps we need Isle of dreams back and geared form 20-25

on that note, what are good places for level 20 gear drops? the only place i know is epic zons/dwarves/goblins. I cant imagine a low 20s crew taking those on profitably (and goblins are absurdly difficult for their gear drops).

sunken is just about perfect in terms of good challenge/xp/drops for the designated level range.

There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of L20 gear, except MA crafted gear. Non-named items go from Imbued Mith (L16) to Golden Mith (L25), unless I'm wrong? I was asked this question the other night, and could only come up with a few named L20 items (Crystal Necklace, Ice Ammy, Storm Kamas).

However, I'd vote for a new area over L20 gear any day!!!!!!

you've got drinking plate at level 20, dwarf burial shield, and the dwarf burial chain i think. some of the epic zon armor is 20, and so is the slavemaster stuff iirc. but yeah, i dont think there are any level 20 generics.

the main issues with these is that a level 20 crew is going to be hard pressed to win these on their own. by the time you can, you're 25th or 30th.

i'd love a new 20-25 zone along with a 35-40 zone with crittable creatures. drop in an alternative to dwarves at 30-35 and we'd have a nice alternate level path all the way to 40.

edit: i think i read somewhere that the lack of generic 20 gear is by design from back when the game only went to level 20: there's no generic level 20 gear in order to make crafting more attractive.

weirdly, the planar store sells level 16 gear but doesnt appear in frostdale where most people that level congregate (talk about lost profit for the shopkeep!). and its hard to get to the planar store pops i know of until you are at least 30.

Certainly does encourage transferring and muling, doesn't it?

I thought they didn't want to encourage that stuff...
