I played free to play until now.

2. Sure, but most of the time that isn't the case when people use a default set. 1. Why not? Free to play it's the only way to get ahead. I've had people argue no, spend it on x, and that's great let's hear it. 3. Awakening crystals are good yes. Souls help too though, which do you think are going to be more profound long term? I can see awakening your class sure, but they have upwards of 20k plus gains in pink souls id rather have. 4. Sweeping isn't that good if you can get better drops ranking up, it's dumb to sit at level 20 when you could be at 30. The only time it is logical to sweep is when you can't progress up the floor, I hate how people are sitting at such a low level, it's such a waste when drops are higher at higher stages, and even in rush that just seems silly

@@Dakanoth Levels 1-100 are super easy. Everyone should get those in the bank. The difference between 100 and 120 are marginal. Pink souls do well but only 4 of them are worth having and only 3 will provide global stats for your character path. Combo/counter > Attack > HP and Def. The rest are fine as red. Awakening Crystals once all 6 are had, the attack, def, HP etc all massively boost. Fully awakening is an absolute must. I am making these comments as a Level 125 Plume Monarch fully awoken with 3 pink souls. People from my server rarely have 1 default set. We have PVP/PVE/Boss/Grumpy etc and also 3 different armour classes. 3 different statues for PVE/PVP and campaign. Practice whilst great when you know they are set up right is great, otherwise useless. For Cross server arena, you would be better clicking their picture and really comparing the stats before fighting them. I would also only do my fights towards the end of the day so the weaker people have climbed the table and you have easier pickings. Can talk more on discord if you want - Kamikaze Al is my discord username.

@AlexGateshill okay sure thing, I'll hit you up. I love learning more and frankly I like the discussion. I'd rather more people proceed to point out where things can be done better and this ultimately helps everyone anyway. I see your point regarding awakening - I'll have to compare the changes myself sometime and see, and that makes sense for sets. But yeah, in my experience I ran into more noobs than I have skilled players but I'm also on the mid 100s and not in like the top 10.

What do you use gems on?

@@Dakanoth server brawls

i am a whale and do not use any gem on gold. Its a bad return

@@mikeverners183 👍 I'll look into using gems this way going forward, the return is bad yes but if you aren't spending it's one of the only ways I know to creep to lamp 24 fast

Idk wydm. I did that free to play and got up to this point without going P2W until just recently

That's 1 of the big differences in f2p we need to be way more careful to just compete that's probably why old mate said what he said

lol 😆 Considering I was F2P for weeks give me a break 😅

It is 100% though all the best things. Especially the things you do daily, they apply to F2P just as much if not even more
