Hello there, I am completely new to endgame. I recently leveled 46, my highest yet, and I am sick of CoM. I understand I now qualify for end game, upon doing some research I got a bit overwhelmed. I was hoping someone could answer some questions in order to help me better understand. I have very mediocre gear, iksar Shaman, and a great guild - I just got on their Discord channel.

1) Which armor set should I go for first, and how difficult is it to obtain? I discussed with a guild member Kael, yet my understanding is that you can obtain Thurgadin armor through Kael...but not the Kael armor, Kael armor is in Veeshan, the hell?

2) Does one start with faction high enough to obtain the Thurgadin armor quest, or do I need to farm? If so, where?

3) Shaman's role in raids? (If not, can do some digging in the forums)

4) Whats up with the "necklace" or "tooth" of cobalt scar? Can someone provide education around where to obtain this?

5) In regards to Velious, where should I start and what do I need to know? Should I just go right for the Thurgadin armor? Its quite an upgrade.

6) Any other advice from gear, to dungeons, or anything else relevant, I would greatly appreciate it.

1. Thurgadin easiest to obtain. Kael armor is hardest to obtain because it isn't heavily farmed, and Skyshrine armor is easier to obtain than Kael. Skyshrine has better overall stats but kael has more AC and looks way cooler as well, although Shaman Skyshrine is pretty legit fashion.

2. You need kindly for Thurgadin armor with Coldain faction(con the roaming dorfs near thurgadin to confirm faction). Kill giants/dire wolves to do this, research Coldain faction wiki on where you'd like to hunt, GD/EW are common places. Or get in a ring war in GD or plate cycle in Kael to get factioned quick. Skyshrine/Kael need ally faction with Claws of Veeshan/Kromzek.

3. Torpor/buffs. Get 60 asap.

4. Cobalt scar tooth also acts as the GD & WL tooth. Get a port iceclad, find a druid to run you to CS that can click through skyshrine to get CS tooth.

5. Go for Thurg, the rest wait until you start raiding more heavily or acquire a ton of money to buy the MQs.

6. Shaman pretty straightforward. Just keep leveling up, hole groups will be easy for you to get 50+ with. I'd probably do LOIO bloodgills at your level to hit 51 then try heading to KC/hole.

Also for the CS tooth. You can just ask a Wizard for a TL to CS and then pickup the tooth. No need for a druid port and running around.

Thank you for the responses. Is it worth going to Velious now to farm rep as a level 46, or, farm Bloodgill, get into Kael raid groups on side, get the equip for the quest, once I have ingredients then farm up the faction?
