Just got to 50 yesterday for the very first time but am confused on what to do. There are a few things that I can't do (because I'm waiting for my small group of friends to catch up) and there are things that I'd like to do (housing? housing.) but what do I need to do?
 
Here is what I know:
 
- gather elder gems which can be obtained by leveling and doing dailies(?).  After asking I found the place to even do dailies at (and there was a quest but until I knew where to even go the game didn't actually point me towards it). However, when I tried to do some dalies on my own I got my butt handed to me by the lvl 50 mobs! D: Seriously I logged off after dying twice I was so ashamed of myself. It might have been because my average gear level is 42 and my weapon 47. How do I obtain level appropriate gear? Are crafting and the AH my only options?
 
- need maxed rep with my faction. I didn't finish every quest in every location (I got lost and wondered around a few times so I didn't bother to finish quests that were about 3 levels below me). From what I've picked out from here and there, I won't reach max until I actually finish dailies correct?
 
 
Here's what I am planning to do to entertain myself:
- Craft. I just took up two gathering tradeskills instead of crafting but I'm going to try it out. Crafted gear, from what I understand, the current best but that it subject to change with an update. Still I like crafting if it's interesting and people have been saying it is so I want to try it out! But I don't want to have to hold doing dailies because I need crafted gear. :/ It's more of a side project for me.
- Decorate my house. I am so embarrassed to have visitors at my plot because it really has nothing but the barest of things to give me buffs and some basic plugins. Still thinking of a theme though so this one is merely on the back burner.
- Achivement hunt! I am such a sucker for achivement and I do like hunting them down.
- Map competion. I hate having those blanks.
- Quest in the new area added from Drop 1. Haven't gone there yet. :(
 
So as you can see I am kind of excited. @__@ So much to do, so little time to do it in! However I'd like to sprinkle in the need to do with the want to do. Just that I am not sure if that is all I need to do while I wait. If there is anything else that I've missed or any suggestions on interesting things for me to do let me know! :)  I'd like to compile it and share when the others get to 50 as well!

Welcome to the Endgame!
 
But when you come to the forums and mention you made 50, what you're *supposed* to do is whine, cry, scream, stomp your feet and threaten to unsubscribe unless the Devs fix all your issues RIGHT NAO!
 
I mean, that's what all the cool kids do. :lol:

LOL! I'd rather be a square then! :)

Awwww. You must be a filthy casual, then. The truly hardcore make sure to make a huge scene at even the smallest issue. And unless you threaten to leave, no one will ever take you seriously.
 
Maybe Wildstar isn't for you?

You should have gotten perfectly good level 50 gear through quest rewards.
Otherwise you can always check the auction house for decent gear. It's very affordable.

			AND NOW, WE RABBLE!

			You may also want to do the Adventure PvE if you want to earn loads of renown and have fun earning elder gems and dropped loot.

I'd love to do Adventures but I can't. :(  I'm waiting on my friends to catch up to me (maybe 2 or 3 more weeks depending on how much life likes them) before doing any group content.

No wait! D: No rebelllions!
 
 
I'd love to do Adventures but I can't. :(  I'm waiting on my friends to catch up to me (maybe 2 or 3 more weeks depending on how much life likes them) before doing any group content. There is a lot of laughing, poking fun at each other, figuring out the challenges together that we like to do. If I go in and learn how to do it before them it will make it less amusing when we start making confused noises at all the red circles appearing below our feet! I know Adventures are easier than dungeons but I don't mind waiting for them. :)  Thanks you for the suggestion though! :D  Knowing this will make it easier for them to get renown, gems and loot so they don't have to fall too far behind to get the genisis key.

			I carried on doing any zones what I hadn't completed quests and finished all the settler quests even though I was max level, I explored each zone fully when I leveled up so I had already done that.Try the dailies again, the new ones in northern wastes aren't too hard and lots of people do them.  In crimson badlands some of those mobs do a lot of damage if you don't stun them during their casting.I bought level 50 crafted items from AH, you can set a filter for quality and stats you want.  Bid on them and wait you may get them cheaper.If you do all the zones you should get level 48+ items which won't be too bad, probably enough for dailies.You can get dominion/exile rep by doing dailies and adventures.  And also from any unfinished quests you missed (I think low levels quests will give the same rep as high level quests)If you play often enough you should cap the elder gems each week without thinking about it, if you do all dailies I think you can cap it in 2 or 3 days?I started on cooking and got all the easy parts done I think, you will need to save a lot of octopod, heartichoke, poultry, meat, fish, bug meat (can be got from thickets if survivalist) also lower level herbs for cooking like flamefrond.I haven't even got around to decorating my house and I've been cap for month(s)I started killing rares, I have all the high level zones done up to mulgrave (all grimvault, daily quest zones, blighthaven, mulgrave high level zone).  Theres lots of achievements to unlock!Oh and join a gathering circle for miners, survivalist, relic hunter, you set your plot to 50/50 then you get half and the person harvesting gets half.  Good way to get extra money when you are offline, also if you harvest other players mines/thickets/relics you can get a good amount in a short time.

			Iirc you can buy some decent level 50 (blue?) gear from grimvault rep vendor.
