I was content in BDA, and it was already the largest raiding guild on the server when I stopped playing. As I understand it, it got that big because it didn't kick members whose RL situations prevented consistent raid attendance. With such a membership policy you pretty much have to have a loot council or dkp bidding system or some other way to distribute gear selectively. I just don't really plan on raiding anything at all anymore, so I don't know where that puts me as far as guild options go.

Thank you guys for the advice you've given so far. I'm kind of surprised Velious isn't a bigger draw. People would rather sit in the same dungeons they've been farming for years? I vaguely remember a lot of small group quests with pretty decent rewards being talked about before velious's release.

So far we've got: ToFS, Velks, Kael arena, and WW dragons. Any other suggestions?

As sad as it sounds, people want the quickest path to 60. So that generally means lots of people on the path of...

Unrest > Mistmoore > City of Mist > KC > Sebilis

Though there's something to be said for substituting in Upper Guk and Sol B along the way as there's people there too.

as a 58 sham you should be able to find a group that is willing to raid places like kael arena for thurg quality armor. it doesn't require a raid to kill most of the giants that drop armor (obviously some of the harder ones needs a raid).

You can 1 group places like velks , dragons necropolis, some parts of kael, some west waste dragons.

you can find pick up raids for plane of growth and roll for shaman armor as it drops. Only 2 guilds are able to kill Tunare at this moment and they usually welcome everyone on the server help clear the zone.

it is hard to say if you would have access to anything above thurg quality quest armor. This answer depends on a couple of factors.
What guild you will play with?
If they raid places like halls of testing during your play time & how they distribute the loot.
a 3rd option is purchasing multiquest.

Hmm, turns out I was 59, not 58, and after two brief play periods I went from 30% in to 40% in. I'll probably grind out the rest of the trip to 60 where I'm at before going exploring.

But I'll still only have about 30k saved for torpor, so I'll need to grind plat for a long while. Fortunately, it seems BDA wasn't bothered by my sudden and prolonged absence, so I should have plenty of people to hit up cash camps with.

How busy are the various Velious dungeons I could solo in? Can I solo anything in siren's grotto without (or with, for that matter) torpor? The feel I'm getting from this thread is that velious is a veritable ghost town, which seems promising for finding a place to grind out some plat.

Velious mobs are harder than old world/kunark stuff. I'm not sure of great solo cash camps unless you're 60 with torpor. SG is hard but also probably overtuned (much like many velious dragons) even if you're geared to the teeth with all your spells. Think everything in there hits for 230+, is very resistant, and there are big clumps of enchanter mobs and then some cleric mobs that will ch through walls. Oh yeah also elementals that dragon ae for 400 +dispel, quad for 280, and will just plain wreck your shit.

Maybe some stuff in velks can be soloed for cash, but I'd still say duos open up more options for you. Velks even is pretty open, I rarely see more than 5 people in any one velious zone unless some raid is happening
