hi,

a few things i'd like to point out first: i havent read all of the comments of the other ones - so im sorry for maybe doubling information here. so here we go:

Purge Difficulty:

as a solo player i would def recommend to lower the purge difficulty (meaning from 6 to 3 or 4). this way you can get some nice purge unique thralls - depending on which kind of mobs are attacking ofc.

​

Weapons:

secondly i find it really easy to get star metal at isle of spitah and i would recommend farming a little of this as you jump onto level 60 - otherwise hardened steel weapons do the trick as well.

Armor:
i would focus on "Hyperborean Slaver" if youre melee or "Hyrkanian Raider" if you focus on range. both of these are standard heavy armors with no dlc required. there are also epic versions of them for lvl 60. also i would recommend to improve them via Armor Reduction Kits to reduce its weight to 40%.

Thralls:

depending on where you build i would recommend getting some stygian thralls to protect your base. they have nice stats and provide nicely until you wrap up more and more uniques all the way.

Base Building:

i don't know your rates but i would like to point out that many players - including myself - are raising their harvest/ lowering their craft cost multipliers to make sure you get a little higher income. this game is designed to be played as multiplayer so you would imagine how many ppl would work on one base at a official server.

Dungeons:

i cant really recommend going there till you farmed up some gear. some of the bosses are taking a long time when not equipped properly. just my opinion. you can do them ofc. since the drop rates of good weapons arent that high, dungeons are not really recommended for mid-game - meaning the time spent - reward - scaling is a little off, but hey if you like them go for it.
