Congratz! You have hit the level cap now the easy part is
over. There is a massive gap in player knowledge
for new players after hitting a level cap. I have seen some people sit stagnant
for even a year worthlessly existing at the cap. Some people are more eager to
learn and this guide is for you. I made this for my guild but thought it might
be useful for others.


THE PROBLEM: You are now faced with the age old problem. I
need to be geared to raid but I need to raid to get gear.


Solution:There are 2 types of people in ROM
that succeed: people that pay to win and people that work their ass off. If you
do not have the means to pay then expect to spend a lot of time farming. If you’re
broke and to lazy to farm stuff you should move on. I have seen both methods
done very effectively.You will not get the best gear right away and that’s ok. Download the add-on Character Plan and find
out how to gear your toon with pulls that are available to you. Mem pulls, Shell pulls, Myth pulls(during rare
event) Crafting gear. All of these may not be the newest hard mode gear but you
need to get to a point your guild will take you into hard mode. Tag along in anything people will let you. If
there is an easy mode farm in the newest instance ask to go.

Ask for help but help yourself. Your guild has a
few people that are willing to help but most of them are waiting to see if you’re
worth the investment. Your guild leaders have seen countless people drain
resources and then leave. Gear up a piece on your own, show it off; let them
know you’re serious. That being said, do it right the first time. You spent
tons of time farming your stats or buying them. Get online or get in guild and
figure out what your class combo needs and stat correctly. If you don’t ask you
will find yourself re-doing all your MP stats later. Read everything you can.
The forums are so chalked full of info you could learn more here in a few days
than some people ever learn playing for years.


THE PROBLEM: I need gold, how can I get anything I need if I
don’t have gold.


Solution: Find a market nitch. Someone is always stating,
someone is always card collecting, someone is always raiding and needs items.
You will not make any money sitting around complaining about the lack of gold.
Get out in the world and earn some. Make more alts, farm more stuff, sell,
sell, sell. The best free to play player I have ever seen is in my guild right
now and can haul in hundreds of millions of gold in a couple weeks. Gold = Diamonds and vice versa. So if you
solve 1 of those problems in a way you have solved both.

Once you have a piece of gear, do not take 100 years to stat
it. Learn what kind of stat build you need by asking or researching and go find
them. You should be able to get at least half of them (3 out of 6) in Shell
pulls (aka mini-games rewards). Don’t be afraid to trade stats, buy stats
either. Did you pull 3 of the same stat but only need 1 for your new gear? Sell
the other 2, and use that gold to buy an instance drop stat that you cannot get
yourself yet. You’re new, and need help so sell outside the guild at a higher
price and buy inside the guild at a lower price. When you start working hard
and your guild sees progress, don’t be surprised if they start investing in
your more. They want a endgame tank, dps,healer more than you want to be one.
Stand out over the rest and you will be geared in no time.
