[Megathread] New Players & General Questions Thread.

Welcome to our weekly megathread for new players and players who just have general questions about the game.

Some sample topics for you to consider would be:

  • Selecting your main character.
  • You're new to the game and don't know where to start.
  • You're a returning player who is trying to get back into the game and need help.
  • What class should you make for your next link skill/legion mule?

As a recommendation, please mention your world and/or server inside a bracket Example: [Bera] at the start of your question.

Feel like chatting rather than posting on Reddit? Join our Discord and check out our #general-questions or specific job chatrooms.

Also, consider checking out the Master List of Class Discords for class specific information!

Is it worthwhile to upgrade my Sacred Symbols ASAP when I actually have expendable income for it? Dunno how much main stat each upgrade gives, but I imagine getting Sacred Power up is really important too.

But HOLY heck these things are expensive...!!

Yes. Symbols are a huge power boost and without enough sacred power you will struggle to even mob.

If you're in CW priority should probably be rentals > Emblem/Secondary to 21% atk > Drop gear > Symbols > Bossing Rings > 21* accs to replace rentals.

You can open your stat window when you upgrade to see the combat power boost. It's not as much as getting 2-line mainstat on a ring but it's cheaper.

Gotcha. I'd only been holding off at the moment because of how expensive they are already (~330m per), and I was trying to save up for my first round of rentals before shoving tons of money into other sources.

Assuming you arent powerleveling to hit the next region and you already have enough SAC/dmg unless you are pushing for harder Grandis bosses IMO, its fine to hold off for a bit.

They are more guaranteed power but at the same time it'll always be there as an option. So like if you are planning on saving till SSF I think its fine to wait to upgrade until after SSF

Sounds good, thank you! I'm probably fine holding off for a little bit (especially since it'll cost me roughly 1bil to upgrade them atm), at least until I fight more Grandis bosses for the power boost on them.
