Just wait until it dies down and then do it, it's not going anywhere. Wait until you want to come back for either crafting stuff or the relic weapon then go out and do it on your own. You should like you're an extremely casual player so I don't know what you like doing in this game but there's plenty of time between now and 5.4.

Also Dynn, the new ones aren't too ugly. And Gunbreaker and Dancer actually get glam for once....
