This guide is designed to steer you through the early parts of the endgame, including island questing, gear honing, Chaos Dungeons, Abyss Dungeons, Guardian Raids, and more. The first part of the endgame experience is called Tier 1, then it moves into Tier 2, and finally Tier 3.
Tier 1 begins at item level 250, essentially your starting gear as you finish your quests in North Vern for your Awakening and Power Pass. Here's a step-by-step guide of what you want to do first.
The world quest here is around 2 hours long but provides you with a starting set of level 302 gear.
If you'd rather just start grinding, you can complete your first Guardian Raids, Chaos Dungeons, and Abyss Dungeons. You will receive the same level of 302 gear from your first Chaos Dungeons (nice), but you miss out on the extra mats, gold, and other materials from the Shushire quest. Abyss Dungeons are available from item level 340 and should be completed immediately. You only get two entries for these every weekly reset.
These are your dailies and are a crucial part of your gear grind. Make sure to pick the quests with Leapstones and Harmony Shards - the quest from Peyto to cab ride, or to kill the reanimated horsemen in Fesnar Highlands are both good examples.
