Thanks for the replies, everyone. I've decided to just set up a learning party and Idk, maybe craft or level up ninja while I wait.

I really don't want to watch/read a guide. I feel it would be disrespectful to myself, and if I can't respect myself, how could I respect others? Going in blind is considered extremely disrespectful according to that one poster, so I'll avoid that for now. It may take a while to get a party together but eh, that's how it is when you're not on top of your game like most people who do Coil.
