What to look out for?

Things to focus on?

Mistakes to avoid?

This is one of the MMOs I have recently started playing and come to enjoy in a really long time, previous MMO I enjoyed was Mabinogi.

I'm already following the Main Story quests and loving the cutscenes and lore of it, but I am curious to hear about other players on their experiences.

Join discord, channel for your class so you can see the skills that are worth leveling, skill combos, gear advice, skill addons

Follow the main story for exp, resources and inventory slots

Focus on reaching level 56 so you can do the quests for succession or awakening

Get more ap/dp, upgrade naru gear to pen then accept a quest from black spirit [Special Aid] Fughar’s Letter to get narchillan gear

Dont sell to vendors > black stones, ancient spirit dust, caphra stones, laila petal, memory fragments, advice of valks, cron stones, keep them for later

Try and do all dark rifts

Trash loot from monsters sell to vendors and not throw away, you have free pets that will loot for you, Press O and somewhere at the Suggested tab

Just take it slow and enjoy the game, and at later stages or you can just start right away is to get a free pen accessory (get the ring)

Can upgrade all boss gear to pen also from tet if you are unlucky enhancing

Try not to fall into the dark void of basing everything you do off its 'silver per hour' return.

Variety is the spice of life.

Don't rush.

Things I wish I had done, not critical, but builds up for later:

- It's ok to do world bosses early-ish.  For the guranteed PEN materials, and just general fun.  You don't need a lot of gear. (Field bosses are a bit tougher since you need to learn about 'boss trains' and find where everyone is at).

- When you talk to a work supervisor, pick up a worker. Can optimize or get them working later.

- Start collecting summon scrolls from the black spirit quests when they become available.

Yep, these are odd, and specific to things I missed.
