Level/Key to enter zones

[Lance Berg]

Recently I started a cleric to run as an alt/bot. Got him up to 62 so
far, engaged in reasonably vanilla activities.

But now that he's coming along, I want to be able to take him to some
more interesting places, either alone or grouped with my SK.

THing is, some of those places are locked, and I don't know which or by
what means.

Since the latest Hot Zone change, for example, the POP zone HOH has seen
substantial traffic. I'm familiar with the flagging process of POP, and
haven't run him thru it yet to get him in there. However, a group
which was short on clerics and looking for some time finally asked him
in; at 58 and no flag, I knew he'd have to be Gimped.

Turns out as long as we had 5 people of sufficient level in the group,
in zone or not (only 4 were) he could zone in. When one of those people
dropped out, he had a 2 minute warning message, getting a substitute let
him stay.

There was some discussion about when he could zone in without a flag, I
tested at 61 he could not zone in, however at 62 he was able to stay in
the zone without a group; I guess that answers that question definatively.

What I can't seem to locate on the net, though, is a list of all the
level required zones, with their minimum levels.

Also, a list of which zones allow this same "Gimp" entry; five people
with flags allowing a sixth to zone in (or 85/15 for raids)

Then there are Instances; LDoN I know requires all members be within 10
levels of each other; at a 62/70 split I guess this is no longer a
concern, but I couldn't find this info for other instanced zones like
DON ones, back when a 55 cleric might have been of substantial help;
could I have brought him along or would I have had to wait till he hit
the 60 line?

Earlier my son tried to bring a low 50's mage to help out/soak exp in a
guild group farming a cleric drop somewhere in OOW, only to find his
level wasn't sufficient (Somewhere off Barundi I think); again we'd
never even tried to bring in someone that low level, hadn't had to do
any flagging to get in, so we had no idea till he got there that it was
locked to him!

If anyone has such a list, or knows where it can be found on the web,
I'd love to see it.

First the 85 rule was changed, it's now 5+1 for everywhere that allows it.
For every 5 people in the group or raid you can bring 1 unflagged person.

For PoP (assuming NO flags)

PoTranq 46
Storms/Valor/CoD 55
BoT/HoH/Torment 62
Tactics - Flagged only
Sol Ro - Flagged only but the 'new' alt-access flag is trivial (kill 1 mob
in Western Wastes that doesn't summon)

For GoD not sure but heard there was originally a level 60 requirement on
Qinimi, and Tipt/Vxed *might* be restricted somehow.
Kod`taz 65 (I think, but not 100% certain)

For OoW
MPG 65
RSS 69
Others not sure

DoN - 15 level gap but the average must be of the right level to get the
right mission and some progression tasks require a minimum average level to
get them
