Kurt's got a lot to do before he fulfills his dream of having a house(sorta) of his own. XD
Used to keep urging an RPer to try to hit the rank and level so he could get the room asap since we had the funds to get him the room but he also had so much more RP that it wasn't really a thing.
It's up to you at that point whether or not your plot(s) or not will align with your interests in leveling, etc. But honestly as a tank, it won't take you long to get to 50 either.

And MAYBE some extra abilities to be a little more flashy at the Grindstone (Circle of Scorn downward stab, kapow!).So getting to 50 is a purely cosmetic thing then mainly for looking cool/badass/godlike then? I remember Kage saying something like that back when I asked the question out of pure curiosity. Though I admit, I like how the Ironworks armor looks like *drool*
I was in all sorts of RP experiences from a lowly level 15-ish all the way to 50. The only time I felt out of place due to my level was when I RPed a one-shot NPC villain who was supposed to be robbing a caravan. I was using NIN and I only had the first two Mudras, and we had a straight little level 18-ish Lancer.
Graphically, the defenders put on a better light show than we did.Â
There's nothing very visually threatening about a little Lala ninja-jumping into the middle of the group and doing the little rain of knives. Especially after emoting up how much of a showboat and badass you are.Â
Every other time, level has never been an issue.
That's been my experience. Though, with the advent of more level 1 gear that's solely for RP and glamouring, that's becoming less and less necessary. I had at least three or four different sets of gear I could put Chachan in well before he hit 50.
Speaking of glamouring, which lets you make your gear like another piece of gear, I think that's another thing you need to be level 50 to unlock. Though, while it's nice if you want to go into dungeons IC and such... it's not so important when you're just hanging around the Quicksand or something. I don't think I've glamoured anything on Chachan yet!
Is there some sort of hoop I have to jump through for the glamouring? Aside from being 50 that is. A long assed fetch quest or a kill something quest?

Hitting 50 for RP really is pretty much for the clothes, since I've yet to see someone do some IC raid or anything. (Although I've seen RP go all the way to Dzemael Darkhold as a lv44 dungeon.)
In my experience, if a Free Company or Event is going to do some IC dungeon, and there are a lot of people, they'll have lower-level alternatives or other objectives if someone can't go into the main dungeon of choice. Like....investigating the Tam-tara Deepcroft lv15 version for signs of what was to come in the lv50 version.
The Making Connections board is also great for finding some more similarly-minded people, especially if there's an idea you have that you'd like to try.Â
If there -is- a dungeon you'd like to do, whether IC or OOC to advance the main-story, you can always hit me up as well! I cannot guarantee being free, but if say, you're lv27 and will need to get to a certain lv28 dungeon or so, I can make sure I'm free during a part of the day, or reschedule banging my head at some content. Â (Franz is also good at the whole 'swing the axe' thing. He was a combat mentor. Once.)
Thank you for the insight. I've seen people try to go IC in a dungeon(Sastasha) once, it took us like an hour or so to finish it. But that's beside the point. If he's good at the swing that axe thing then maybe if the two of them meet Kurt might get a few tricks with the axe from him after being a gopher or something of course. Well as it is I'm on the arduous road of 37-40.
