Dungeon Rundown

I jsut typed this up on the SOE boards and it took so long I figure I may as well blog it here, as well.

Green Text = These dungeons are popular and easy to find groups for; they are good places to level and offer a smooth overall group experience.

Blue Text = These zones pose an average difficulty.

Yellow Text = These zones are rare to find groups for / hard to reach / above average in difficulty.

Orange Text = a good challenge for that level! These dungeons prove more daunting than the average dungeons!

Red Text = These are the hardest of the hard!

Loot denotations = the level of loots that will drop. Some zones can be run at levels higher than what the rewards will merit, and these are the ones I’ve denoted.

T1 = 1-9
T2 = 10-19
T3 = 20-29
T4 = 30-39
T5 = 40-49
T6 = 50-59
T7 = 60-69
T8 = 70-80
