One cool thing to do is the quest for Nostrolos Tambourine. I did it in the high 20s. You can get most of them easily enough.

They will give it to you most of the time. And you might make some more friends along the way. Its a 22 modifier like the sharkskin drum If I remember correctly. The only difference is it has some stats. A bit of INT I think and the other cool thing is the look. It looks like a Tambourine in your hand. Plus you get the satisfaction of questing for your badass instrument. I still rock mine at 55.
This is all absolutely correct, but at 24 it'll be tricky to do the quest. However, here's the thing, just like with the lambent quests, my experience is you can start getting the pieces just by grouping in the places the pieces drop. It's amazingly easy to just look up the quest, see that "oh, for Lambent BP I need a piece from Lguk and a piece from Mistmoore; I'm high enough for the Mistmoore camp, so I'll put a group together and hang out there, get the piece while I'm getting exp, and by the time I get the piece, hey look at that, I'm now high enough to group in the Lguk bedroom so I can get the other piece. Wow, hey, now I have a lambent bp and I'm also high enough to go to Kaesora and camp in the library so I can get that particular coin for my nostrolo tambourine! Well that worked out nicely"


I didn't really know or care about the nostrolo tambourine until I was like 54 so I wound up having to solo a lot of the quest pieces. I had a couple banked in case I ever decided to do the quest, ones I'd stumbled on in the process of exping with my friends in Kaesora and foraging in EJ, but hadn't really looked into it. It wasn't hard, but I definitely found myself wishing I had gotten more of them, what's the word, incidentally just by happening to group in places.
