Oh no, don't power to 51, you're supposed to be playing the game at all ranks. Why not just play something that can compete without getting items from explore areas at level 35 instead? Leave the mages to the elite players. People like you should stick to warriors, rangers and assassins and bards, or empowerment classes if you're good at rp.
