Velious armor...where to start?

[Bristlebaner]

My enchanter just hit 54 and I'm still rocking some fairly newb gear.

I've yet to set foot in Velious. Anyone have some tips/advice for starting to get Velious quest armor?

It seems like Thurg is the common choice as faction might be easiest and the city is really convenient? It does look like the other armors might have better stats.

Also - whats the game plan to start killing in the areas the patterns drop?

Explain to me like I'm 5 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
