All mobs (and players) are scaled to CP160 since One Tamriel. But even with level 48 gear you should not "get slaughtered" by overland mobs. Except you're talking about world bosses, those have been massively buffed in One Tamriel.

Can you be more specific? What race, class, role and resource do you play? Which skills do you use, and what mobs specifically do you have what kind of problems with?

Thank you @Loc2262 and @Taleof2Cities ,

To be a little more specific, I've been playing a stamina-based Nightblade as my alt. I've done Savior of Morrowind and Bane of the Gold Coast, and all of Glenumbra solo (minus the World Boss requirements - they are tough nowadays!). So playing up until the lvl49 / Champion Point transition hasn't been an issue at all.

Playstyle: Stupidly casual, solo, PvE, storyline / lore hound.

It went down like this: Doing a generic overland random quest and killing groups of three cannon-fodder when I level up mid-quest. Spend my points, tweak my skills, and go back to it. This time around, these same groups of three are seriously wiping me. Repeatedly. Embarrassingly. I manage to kill a few solo mobs and when I see that the white deconstruction-trash they're dropping is a significant upgrade to my blue PvE / Crafted / Set gear. Then it hit me what happened.

There's just no real way around hitting that wall, is there? Every alt I play is going to have that same issue, huh?

It just seemed unnecessary and very frustrating. Was just looking for some insight on how to deal with this step-change in difficulty. 'Cause... you know... stupidly casual and all.

It's good to know that things cap out at CP160, though. I guess I just play slow and cautious until my gear and skills catch back up.

Have a groovetastic weekend!

There is nothing weaker than a CP Ranked Character wearing Sub 50 Gear, even L49 stuff. You have less than half the stats you would if your wearing on level gear, even trash gear. Your a paper tiger, wearing toilet paper armor and wielding a wet newspaper page as a weapon.

If nothing else, use the drops that you get in the game. In the meantime, go join the Alikir Dolmen Zerg, take a Bow, and tag every mob you can. In not too long you should be at CP160. I say a bow because that is the quickest firing weapon in the game and you only need to tag the mobs once. Other weapons it will be harder to tag a lot of mobs with those zergs. You can still have your regular weapon skills or class skills on the bar for leveling purposes if you need to.

Anyway, the zerg will insulate you.

Or, scour the guild stores for CP10 to CP120 gear, but that stuff is rare.

Crafting doesn’t matter that much at your point in the game. Just wear whatever drops for you as you quest.it will work much better for you than very underleveled gear.

Another option is the craftable set "Vampire's Kiss" which gives you a strong heal-over-time every time you kill any enemy. I usually use that when leveling up a stamina alt.
