i ahve a 99ap and 112dp... lahn and having trouble with abandon mines and helms... should i just farm tell 51 and do the mediah quests???..

You'll want free stuff..

Farm the Asula set in Mediah

Get Dim Magical Armor from finishing the pre mediah black spirit quests, upgrade your magical offhand as well

Get the Black Abyssal Weapon, Mediah Merchants Union Helm and Derek's Light Leather Shoes

All of that is about equal to PRI level gear and accessories 

This guide should help.

What quest does the armor??

I cant even handle abandoned mine and helms to farm azula. So where should I go for that?

I'm used to PC lol

Also the black abyssal wep?? 

Ill check the guide see if I can find the answers there I guess lol

You get the free gear just by doing the black spirit quest line

Well ty for the advice. Been doing iron mines for a bit have to use potions. But with 3 luck and lvl 2 node. It ain't dropping 

They have an issue with azula. They don't drop atm.

I would say that gear is a good start point but u really should look at getting 2 Heve and 2 Grunil and look at getting it to +15 or higher, weapon wise each class has specific for off hand and main hand I would say Yuria/Elish advance as high as U can till U drop Liverto or kzharka, Asula set for accesories it does drop it just has a less the. 1% drop rate. 

I saw in post people say it's not dropping after the boss patch...

Is there any word of this being true??

I was at iron mines for good 4 to 5 hours with nothing. 

Iron mines would still be decent money at that level without asula. Though I might back down to hex or rhutuum just to get some volume in your pulls perhaps.

You need black stones in piles to enhance gear. 

I found the easiest way was to buy a 20k green item at plus 7 weapon or plus 5 armor and toss it into the extract option at the blacksmith.

Cheaper then buying them off the market by a smidge and it supports people leveling and dumping the trash.

Unlimited stones as long as you can buy them.
