I probably wouldn't be as concerned with this if I had been running dungeons while I was leveling, but I basically ran the first one for the Undounted and stopped. Now, I really need the passives in the Undounted skill line, but am having the problem mentioned above. The reason I didn't run any while leveling is it did take so long to find a group. Every time I'd ask in Zone chat all I saw was people trying to sell stuff, or people wanting to run the Vet Pledges. I don't want to start the Vet Pledges until I have a good idea of the boss mechanics and the best way to do that is to run it on normal mode first when things are a little easier and people don't get upset with you for not knowing the fights. As far as the grouping tool, I have no idea how to make it better, but I agree ZOS really aught to look into it as soon as possible.

For normal dungeons - pay off a low level 200g or so per dungeon they downscale for you, then solo them or do them with a friend.
Normal Dungeons hard to solo:
Selenes Web (endboss spawns a lot of adds, if you don't take them out fast enough or take out the boss fast enough you will eventually run low on resources and die.)
Blessed Crucible (not that hard, if you have a self heal and potions, remember to take out atronach adds at the endboss, or els she gets a shield where you can not damage her at all - so take out adds before boss. )
Blackheart Haven (endboss turns you into a skeleton with no skills slotted, so you have to take it out fast enough before he does that to you. )
Vaults of Madness (First boss will leech your health, but if you kill it fast enough you can survive that. Second boss is a harvester that will CC you for a long time, hit you and blow a wall of fire on you - so you have to have strong shields and self heals and at the same time kill her with Damage Over Time effects. The harvester also gets orbs that heal her up - which makes it all more difficult - if you have any Area of Effect skills that will give dots, it is highly recomended to take out the orbs while you are trapped by her.)
Normal Dungeons impossible to solo:
Direfrost Keep (you get to a point where you must stand on 2 stones to activate and open a door. For this you have to get at least 1 more person inside the dungeon to stand on the other stone...)
No, you've missed the boat with the XP and drops, as have I. Personally, I just want to tick off the achievement at this stage. Plenty of frenetic pledges and vet dungeons to collect XP.
I've been playing ESOTU for about 8 months now and have a Vet rank 14 dps Nightblade.
I never thought of paying off a lowbie to help me out. I have a few friends that would be interested in that. Question though, will I still get the same amount of Undounted xp/rep for completing these normal dungeons at my level as I would if I were level appropriate?
