Now career lvl 12, and renown rank 11.
Unfortunately Destro controls all the T2 Keeps in all 3 realms.

My understanding is that T2 renown gear is sold in the keeps?

Hochland has low order pop, so it just may be a little time until enough 20+ are available to take back a keep.

Yea, it's in the Keeps.

ps: Career Rank 15 (Runepriest), Renown Rank 10 here

Have you done the Mourkain Temple scenario? It's a pretty cool one, even though I haven't gotten the artifact yet.

That's the only Tier 2 scenario I've done so far, I'm looking forward to trying the others out. It's a great concept, I'm slightly bummed by the map design but I do like the fact that Mythic has offered a wide variety of map styles with no holds barred. My favorite map by far is still the Tier 1 dorf/greenskin Gates of Ekrund keep map. Least favorite probably Khaine's Wrath, but even it is still fun at times.

The Tier 2 High Elf/Dark Elf one is a capture the flag scenario. I got 12k exp for a win at lvl 15 one time (but we won 500-22).

It's a bit irksome as destro already has an advantage in numbers and now, they can block our T2 gear. Maybe setup keeps to reset to neutral after a period of time and give folks a chance to sneak in.

Does add an interesting twist to the game.
