Gold side contact level cut off range

[Redletter]

So, Im trying to do all the contacts on gold side, but i've out leveled like, two of them at least by now. I know I can go back and get them through Oro in another 10 levels or so, but that's further away than I'd like. So, when do contacts just say "ok well, go on to the next zone, you dont need to do my missions, who would want to take part in this story heavy content anyhow?"

You'll get directed to Imperial City around 8, but I think the cutoff for Nova is 10?  Not completely sure.  Imperial cuts off at 15 or 16 and forces you into Neutropolis until 20.  20 is when you're encouraged to go to Primal Earth though you're allowed to stay for First Ward and Night Ward.  First Ward will cut off at 30, including side contacts, if you're not done, Night Ward stops at 40 but generally wraps around 32-33 if you do everything without EXP Boosts.  Night Ward can start around 26, but the second main contact, Ward, will not speak to you until 30.  The side contacts, Trilogy and Fireball, do not have cutoffs, but Sir Lionel and Atherton Cromwell will stop around 40.

 

If you run out of missions from Trilogy and Fireball, that's it.  No more Praetorian missions.  If you don't want to go through the Rift, any further leveling will have to be done by joining others or going to Pocket D and running AE content as there aren't any enemies in Praetorian zones past 40 either.

This is pretty useful for following Praetorian content.

 

If you stay Gold until Night Ward you can, as @ZorkNemesis says, do AE content via Pocket D - and I recommend (EGO!) the dedicated Praetorian content in my own signature - as well as taking part in the Summer Block Buster.  If you make it to 50 then you can also do Incarnate Trials, provided they start from Praetoria or Pocket D or Echo Plaza, as well as the Cathedral of Pain. Holiday events are also possible, depending.  Delivering Valentine tips doesn't work for instance. And then there's a set of missions from Belladonna Vetrano at 50 that have to be done via Ouro, but they're there too.
