The DoN progression which leads to the AA rewards starts with 3 tasks,
which each person must get an receive. You can only get those tasks when
indifferent to the relevant camp, and when are you are level 65+.
Once you have completed those single tasks, you need a group with an
average level of 68+ to get the single group mission.
Any average lower than that will prevent you from obtaining the mission and
will halt your progression.
So you must be 65+, you must be indifferent, and you must be able to field
a group of average level 68+ to really start the progression in a
meaningful way.

I wonder what this is good for,I hate leveling with a passion,didnt
make a level since 1 month after release of OoW,when I took my
Ranger to 67 to qualify for "Origin" AA.
My 65 cleric with now 100 AAs can heal fine in a mission which
yields 56 crystals,let me add I did this without Enchanter mana
regeneration buff and the group didnt notice it,in fact I was fm most
of the time.
This is a thing really capable to make me quit,I already lost the
ability to make my own groups,most people dont want "lowbies" :p
in their group,so there is not much point to start one as a 65.
I alrerady had the pleasure in a NC group to meet a 68 cleric with no
AAs or gear(I assume) to speak of,who was screaming oom after every
mob,with my Ranger.
Fortunately for Sony I found some linkminded people,who think that
quality(AA and gear) and fun is more important than quantity
(levels),and am in a "lowbie" "family-style" guild.
Playing the game only relying on pickup groups like I did in some
phases of my EQ career is now impossible,thanks to EQ2 and the
stupid level requirements in Don.

Note I was talking about the viewpoint of a 65 Cleric.
