It kind of sucks being a new player

But they give green gear that she can trade in her GC for seals she need to rank up in the GC for hunt.


Clear every day 2 dungeons (they only take 15 minutes) and at the end of the week you have it. Don't force yourself to clear everything in 1 day.

I don't understand. If you think having to do dungeons to unlock a dungeon roulette is "harsh" instead of "fun", why play a MMO? Honest question.

Now say you get your law and you wanna upgrade it by doing hunts. Oh you thought you just go to the forgotten knight and start hunts? Nope. Gotta go grind your grand company rank and do their whole hunt quest chain. And since you're new you probably didn't save any of those pink dungeon items did you. Tough break, you gotta earn that ****. Dont be so lazy. Anywho Im off to get luck drops in alex that I "earned".

No it's not that at all. It is harsh when people need story stuff done mainly, and ANYTHING they appear in that gives that god aweful "new player" message that often makes people cringe because heaven forbid we explain anything, and think "oh god I have to carry someone". You have to start somewhere.

Now in the OP's case, it can feel overwhelming and discouraging to be so far behind because there are those that have unfair expectations of other players. This community lacks one glaring thing: Consideration. I am looking at all ends, while you're all judging her and looking at one thing.

Why? I can do 51-59 dungeons in 15 minutes and get experience for it.

Or do low level roulette, and most of the time get a level 51-59 dungeon.

I can do a level 51-59 dungeon and get 450k experience.
I can do a 50 dungeon and get 0 experience.

=D

This more or less sounds like you rushed the content and skipped alot of it.
You were gonne run into these issues eventually anyway, no matter the content you planned on doing.

Take your time with the game and enjoy the activities.

The dungeons you still need to do shouldn't be seen as something you NEED to do, see it as a new experience! :-)

Why? They are fun dungeons. AND you need them to unlock the roulette. If that's not reason enough, then don't bother, nobody is forcing you to do them, you won't lose much by not having HM roulette, and you can just do a second Expert roulette instead, just slightly less LAW, UNLESS you get a new player bonus.

I feel sorry for new players coming to this forum expecting any kind of sympathy. This community is like a bunch of old people screaming "back in my day blah blah blah"

Sympathy for what?
For "having to" (you don't have to) run some of the most fun dungeons?
Hummmm, I wonder why...
