I played AoC for a while and loved it. Took a long break and then came back. I created a new character and it asked me "do you want to start at level 50? One time offer" so I accepted. I also had a ton of offline levels lying around so I boosted the Barbarian to 80 immediately. Problem is I have level 50 gear. I was told to go do faction quests in Khatai to gear up but those level 80 mobs kick my butt. Have I painted myself into a corner and will need to spend $ in the shop to gear up? I bought the level 80 PvE sword and the PvP sword. Helped a little but still can't hang with level 80 mobs. Do I need to go back to 50 or 60 and just grind anyways. Thank you in advance for your help
