Guildleves create a barrier to new players

[Perrin_Aybarra]

the limitation and reset seems fine to me, on top of it the ticket system will make it even better.

Plus I will suggest this. If the rank 30 leves are not available to you yet (when you get those you'll have 6 per city since there are 2 camps) then you can do the rank 20 leves and pick up the rank 10 leves which you can do at 5 stars difficulty. They will still give you about the same SP as a 1 star leve level 20.

You have to use what is given to you and stop complaining about things that doesn't really need to be fixed.

This.

I will say that if you're a THM, invest in a shield if you haven't already. Aegis Boon is practically 15 seconds of invincibility + free healing against regular attacks (use a shield with a Blocking stat of at least 80, doesn't matter if it's under or overleveled).

Spend time getting some melee classes to 12ish. There are a lot of useful low-end abilities that will make your life easier. Second Wind from Pugilist is especially useful; turn 250 TP into ~300 HP every 45 seconds. Featherfoot at 12 PGL is 1 free dodge every minute. Invigorate at 14 LNC is free TP in battle every ~1:30.

From your mage classes, Punishing Barbs, Repose (see next line break), Poison (any Damage over Time spells), and Spiritbind (if you have MP issues) are things to consider if you haven't already.

Even if enemies having ranged attacks seems to defeat the purpose of bind, most of them are slower and weaker than their regular auto-attacks. Bind wears off when (non-DoT) damage is dealt, but otherwise lasts quite a while.

On leves with multiple enemies, abuse the fact that you have AOE casting.

Plug in your points to VIT for more HP, a little MND for more MP. Practically DEX and PIE will do almost nothing, and STR/INT don't provide high boosts. Until they remove physical, at least.

You are not limited to leves. Grinding (something you can kill easily and quickly even if the reward sucks) at least makes you money, even selling to npcs. Fur/hides go for a fair bit.

Take something from this, as exasperated as it may sound. You're not doing it "wrong", but you could be doing it a lot less painfully. In what way are the leves "impossible" to solo? Running out of MP, or getting killed in like 3 hits?
