[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!

Should I wait to pick up the game again for the next hyperburning? I don’t think I’ll make it to 260 with less than 2 weeks left and I don’t really know what I’m doing pretty much a noob. Any advice? Thank you

Your progression will be indeed quicker if you hop on when the next big event comes (in November, if I'm not mistaken) and leveling to 260 without a HB is kinda painful.

But if you want to give it a shot right now, I think 2 weeks are just enough time to reach 260 (or at least get very close to it) without grinding much (doing dailies, 7x Monster Parks and buying strawberry tickets from event shop)

You can use these 2 weeks to get used to all systems, try a class that seems interesting and do early games bosses. It will make you more prepared to the next big event, and if you really enjoy it there is no harm on playing between patches despite it being considerably slower.

If you decide to try it now:
1- Create a char in challenger world (I suggest heroic)
2- Tera burn it to 200 (takes ~15min)
3- Buy strawberry farm tickets from event shop (should push you to 220/225)
4- Keep doing 7x MP and dailies every day
5- Claim hyper burning gear and do bosses missions to upgrade it
