     The jump from killing monsters in Wastelands and in Abyss is extremely high: you might not even kill a single Mammoth Bat when you were able to kill 5 Warped Tormenters (the last monster in Wasteland). They are that hard to kill. The solution is T3 gear. At this point, your goal should be to __get T3 equipment and upgrade them until you can kill 2 bats__. 4 fully upgraded T3 equipment will be enough. The reason for this goal is another goal: __Unlocking the Death of Darkness dungeon, the 2nd dungeon__. The daily mission that gives 1 run of this dungeon is also unlocked with the same //The Finished Map// quest. The jump from killing monsters in Wastelands and in Abyss is extremely high: you might not even kill a single Mammoth Bat when you were able to kill 5 Warped Tormenters (the last monster in Wasteland).

    -Now to the hard part: you will grind, very slowly, through the //Taming the Abyss// questline. It will slow your progression, since you won't be leveling as quickly and killing only 2 monsters at most means you won't be getting that much gold and loot from the monsters. Using brutality injections when you are against the harder enemies in the last few quests is recommended.+Now to the hard part: you will grind, very slowly, through the //Taming the Abyss// questline.

    -The 2nd dungeon is hard: I recommend waiting until level 70 and crafting an earring before trying out the dungeon. If stuck, the 2nd dungeon can be completed (barely) with brutality injections. 5 fully upgraded T3 or T4 pieces and a  brutality injection will be enough to clear the monsters.+The 2nd dungeon is hard: I recommend waiting until level 70 and crafting an earring before trying out the dungeon.

     +So far, we have ignored a new addition that is quickly shaking the market completely and pushing Elethor into an age of scarcity: the production of Platinum. At this stage, only produce 1 Plat per day and no more: the scaling costs are not something we cannot afford yet. For the same reason, don't level up Recyclobot. 
     + 
     +As we start max killing higher levels of monsters and can clear the 2nd dungeon, we will start making a good amount of monster drops and gold, and we are strong enough to stop pushing for gear for now. 
     + 
     +Every plat you make should go towards upgrading the level of your companions. We definitely don't have the funds to go after the companion abilities; they are also very weak for now, as their max level can only be the current level of your companions. This is the reason we will increase the level cap of the companions: we can upgrade the abilities later, but our companions weren't gaining exp to level up while staying at their capped starting level of 5, it's time to fix that fast. The passive fortitute and savagery gained by Drone and Drake are very powerful early on. 
     + 
     +Once you have slowly leveled the companions' max levels to 20, you will need to prepare for the allmighty lvl 20 -> 25 companion level jump, which features a staggering 10 plat cost per companion. As a new player, it's just impossible to get all 52 plat required to get them to level 25 (where it starts requiring 2 plat for 5 levels until level 50). Therefore, you will have to prioritize. As this guide is focused on progressing through gear and mainline quests for gear: I recommend you level up Drone, then Drake. These 2 companions give Fortitute and Savagery and they give great amounts of it when we've just started the game. 
     + 
     +Until you have leveled all your companions past level 25, don't spend plat on any ability whatsoever, no matter how tempting it is. The levels on companions are more valuable.
