So, what would be a good first piece of harder content to dip my toes in? I would consider myself a very casual player. I would also consider a piece of content easier if (mostly) everyone else knows what they are doing since it means the content will eventually get cleared somehow. Though, learning with everyone else can be fun.

I vividly remember a random group trying to introduce me (on my main) to that one Eden Extreme that has a version of Titan but he is on wheels (I forget which). I think at the time it may have been a poor choice as a first piece of harder content because I wasn't ready- Though now I feel a bit more ready.
AH ha, I just answered your question about astro in your other thread. It's always fun seeing people interested in getting into harder content. Based on the question you asked about astro, I would highly advise not doing ultimates yet, they are in a completely different league of difficulty compared to savage and especially extremes. They are longggggg fights and you will be heavily discouraged if you aren't prepared. I love them, but I also cleared a bunch of extremes and a few savage tiers before I threw myself into that ring.

Honestly, here is my complete recommendation. Watch a guide or two on how you should try and play your job in harder content, you will not retain and understand everything immediately, but having an understanding of your job that is more than just surface level will be very helpful. After that try the extremes in endwalker, especially the more recent ones since you can't cheese them as much with gear levels. Once you are comfortable with it then give anabaseios a shot and see how you like savage content. once you are comfortable there then give UWU a try. It is by far the easiest of all of the ultimates, but don't get it twisted, it is still an incredibly hard fight if you go in expecting to just breeze through it. It took me about 4 weeks of casual-medium farming to get that clear.

Best of luck!
