need some help for group exp and lootFollow

Griegs End. Its a hotspot now (meaning you get bonus xp for killing there). Should be perfect for you. Just be prepared to have a lot of people there with you due to the fact it is currently a hotspot. Good luck.

GE is a not too bad spot really. the gear below drops there (you should be able to handle most of the mobs with your goup).

If you don't have it yet, you should think of getting it. TSS is one of the best expansions IMO and offers zones, equipment and quests for all levels.

Grieg's End and CT would both be good choices.

Also, you may want to look into the DON expansion. The Broodlands & T. Delve should be good experience zones for you, plus they have a number of decent loot drops in each zone.

When you are high enough, talk to the Wayfarer's Brotherhood and start doing missions for them so you can raise your faction. DoN merchants are somewhat like LDON, where you purchase them with a special currency (radiant crystals) that are tradeable. You can also upgrade your augments through them. The difference is that you need faction with them first, before they will talk to you. If you have a steady group, DON missions would be great for you to do, once you are high enough levels (sorry, don't know offhand how high you have to be to start doing missions for the Wayfarers).

In about 2 weeks, EQ issues a new compilation pack to retail stores with every expansion including TBS. It will cost about $19.99. If you can swing that upgrade for each account between the two of you, I highly recomend the TSS zones designed for those levels - Goru`kar Mesa and Blackfeather Roost. The zones have tons of quests which add nice flavor and pacing to the game besides jsut grinding mobs.

The quested gear is a great upgrade for those level ranges. My necro is 56 and beneifits from having a large bank account to leach off of my main a 75 rogue, but even so, a few of those gear drops are better than anything I could buy in bazaar, and the quests are not that hard.

Examples of such from my necro:

The stats on other class gear are similiar, and the mana regen, HP regen and focus effects are the same. For the toons listed, all except warrior would benefit from the quested armor for the same slots. There is also an improved healing FE on another slot that would benifit the cleric. For the warrior the Masters Armor plus Symbol Aug for that armor, would have better AC/hp, and would be available in BAZ. If you do not want to buy the expansions, the Masters Armor plus Symbol Augs is the way to go for gear for each toon. You would want to hunt in the zones where the ingredients drop and find someone to make it for you. The cost can get expensive for those levels in bazaar if you want to buy a whole set. I would check in the bazaar though first, as sometimes people make the armor for skillups and sell it for almost nothing. (not the symbols though)
