From what I've been able to pick up from around here is it looks like PoR is THE expansion as far as gear upgrades. It LOOKS like it might be more geared to the post 65 crowd though, at least from what I can tell. It LOOKS like DoDH is soloable in parts by a 54 necro. Decisions, decisions. So, as annoying as these questions are to answer every week, please humor me and let me know your opinions. Forum search was the one thing I always wished Alla would allow for all users...
1. Buy the Titanium edition of EQ. That will give you all expansions except PoR for $19.99.
2. Don't waste your time buying PoR until you are at least 68. They have a multitude of easy solo/single group quests that let you get massive gear and augment upgrades (for casual players). However, most of the gear is required level 68. There are a few things like auras for the lower level, but they aren't worth buying the expansion for until you get higher in level.
3. Not many people solo or single group in the DoDh zones. Most are there for completing quests, and that is about it. If you are looking for places to group/solo your best bet is still the OOW zones. At 54, you would want to do Dranik's Scar, or maybe Bloodfields if you have better gear.
4. Monster Missions are a great way of getting gear upgrades if you are a casual player. One of the best features is that levels are irrelevent, so it generally makes it easier for you to find groups. The problem is that SOE nerfed the experience on most of the missions, so they are less popular now then when they first came out.
