Create a Season Server Character

Creating a season server character is a fast way to start a character. You will get a lot of good rewards when creating and leveling on season servers. You will get additional experience and rewards for playing on the season server. There are free and paid paths that will also give tons of rewards. You will also get Tuvala gear which is awesome starting gear, especially if you manage to get Tuvala to PEN, which equals to TET boss gear after converting it. All these rewards will essentially make your progression a lot easier. 

Quest or Grind

There are 2 ways to get to level 61: grinding or questing. After level 56, you need to do your awakening and succession. How you want to get to 61 depends on your goal. If this character is your main, then you should focus on grinding / AFK training, to make sure you get skill points as well.

If it is not your main character, then questing is recommended because you will get to 61 much quicker than grinding. You will make money and the crucial skill points when you grind. You also can meet Jamie at any city and AFK train with dummies to gain experience in skill and combat.

Fughar’s Timepiece

Fughar’s timepiece is essentially a way to duplicate the experience that you have got on your season character to a different character. Make sure to use it to progress on 2 characters per season instead of only one.

Optimizing Your Game

The graphic on this game is pretty big so it can get laggy or hectic on some people’s computers. So the best way is to optimize it so it can run faster and with the highest FPS. Since it’s a combo-paced game, you might miss out on crucial hits when it is laggy.

So optimizing your game is the best way to tackle this problem. AMD Super Resolution is great for increasing FPS, which for some classes with high APM can increase your damage by doing combos faster.

Trial Characters

You can try out a maxed character by going to the character selection screen and pressing the trial tab. This trial character will be put into the battle arena, an open field with many dummies and other players to fight if they are present.

You can test every class through these trial characters. This might help you when choosing your main character. You can test the character with their full kits and abilities and switch between awakening and succession.

Guaranteed PEN Accessories, Boss Armor, and Weapons

Item Collection Gauge

There is a scroll in this game that can increase the number of items or increase the job the drop chance for rare items to drop. Before this, you can use this scroll, but you might get flanked by other players and get killed, and you will keep losing these scrolls.

Home Base
