Question about Storming the City

[LurkerBro]

I'm currently playing a Shalore Brawler and am trying to do the Storming the City quest. However I'm not sure how to proceed. The apprentice mage has not appeared near the maze to give me access to Angolwen. So it seems the only way to to the quest would be the antimagic route. Is this intended or a bug?

Also, I'm a newer player and so far almost all my characters end up getting to level 20-22 then dying. Are there any areas to level in or am I just supposed to dive into the harder areas after doing all the Teir 1/2 zones?

I see no reason for the mage not to be there. Maybe someone else knows more about this.

I assume you do know all the tier 1&2 dungeons. With Shaloren xp penalty and the missing Storming the city quest I believe your next target should be Dreadfell.

Hidden compound should be rather easy and you might want to try Ruined Dungeon before Dreadfell though. The guardians can get pretty random so the danger level there is hard to tell.

Occasionally the apprentice mage can get attacked and killed by the wandering adventurer/zigur parties. Really not sure why that can still happen - it's pretty much just a random chance to be locked out of Angolwen.

That'd have to be a pretty rare glitch. It takes 150 Ziguranth patrols to take down the apprentice mage.
