Hello everyone!

I just came back after a long 2 years break. Remember the collaboration event with Milky Holmes? I was playing around that time.

I want to ask some questions to keep me up-to-date.
- What is the latest area that you can proceed with the main quest line? Is it still Edo?
- What are the current end-game gears? How to obtain them? And what weapon type is the best currently in your opinion?
- What is the current level cap? And a good way to leveling? (I'm currently at level 99)
- What is the current max affinity cap?
- What is the current max stat cap?
- My friend is also a cumback player and he's starting from scratch. If you have any advice on how to proceed with the game currently, please let me know.
- I've seen that there're a lot of people doing the warding. Is entering dungeons outside the warding have any meaning beside doing it for the main quest line?
- I really like the Miko Enma set (Red & White Miko outfit with no fox tail), but its look like I wasn't aware of it by the time it was released. Have you ever see that set came back?

Maybe there're other questions I wanna ask, but I can't remember them all so if you guys have any other advice you wanna say, please let me know.

Thank you! :">

I Just got back to playing as well, but it's only been about a year for me.
1. You've got quite a bit of story to go after edo. I remember 100 being the cap, but now it's like 130. The story pretty much re-uses old dungeons so you'll end up back in kyoto where the story is currently. That's a bit off from edo though.
2. End game gear is allllllllll event gear that was from previous events that are no longer obtainable like the magatama of knowledge. You'll still be okay with the El or El Sin weapon, gargoyle weapon, or even dragon ark weapons. The gargolye weapons and dragon ark weapons are warding. There is no best class because everyone just uses a mount or partner which does cap damage for you. Best class is OC or an event partner that's not obtainable anymore. Go figure. Spears used to be the best, then it was sword/ts, then axe, then wand/bow became popular. Really everything has a chance.
3. 130. Best way to level is the "catch up" mechanic Onigiri placed for leeches or people that took a break. It's in the warding under "daily dungeon" (in red) and you can do the exp ticket dungeon. Hard mode will give you exp and it's absurd. Take a drop boost to get more tickets, and an EXP boost before you consume them. Pair it with login boost for maximum efficiency. Hard mode does take 50 energy so you'll need energy restores to level up quickly.
4. Too damn high to worry about
5. Still 100
6. Um? New accounts get a legendary gacha so they should get a free vanguard partner. I'd keep making accounts until you get a good partner.You can take them to event dungeons and power level them if you want them to play with you and they don't care about actually playing through the game.
7. Warding is used for a lot. It's psuedo content really but it's important anyway.
8. Outfits are rotated all the time in the normal gacha. Back in the day there was just 1 kind of gacha, now there's like 7....

Actually written " L. " and " L. SIN ", so no one has a hard time searching it.

Well theres Oushuu Highway area which is next to Edo, then Marigajima with island dungeons (next to Onigashima) and Tanegashima before you build a rocket and go straight to the Moon (literally). After that... just like Gravedigger said.

Be careful about that, EXP boost may not actually work with EXP tickets... or so I believe.

Hinotama wrote:- What are the current end-game gears? How to obtain them?

The best and obtainable ones that I know are the Sovereign weapons (recipes obtainable from Lancelot shop in Onigashima, it never closes btw). Also Tempest version of lvl 105 magatamas (recipes obtainable from Shuten-Douji, in Yellow Dragon Spire: Purity Space).
Side note: 1. Consider carefully if you want to craft Dragon Ark weapons or not, these lack attack power and cost more material compared to Gargoyle weapons (exclude the Datenryuu and Abyss ones).
2. Supreme version of Sovereign weapons actually require an event item (named Divine Protection Incense, it is still available in Gawain Shop till June 20) while Reverance III version do not.

I guess that makes axe best since, as I remember, partners take your maximum attack regardless of what weapon class you use.

Edit: Or whatever has the highest attack adding in atk/aff accessories.

Little known fact the El versions come with sombreros.

I believe they do because I've tested them by taking the tickets without a boost, then taking them with a boost. The boost yielded a multiplier in the "all" tab. Unless it was purely aesthetic and I was robbed, then it should work.

Ya you were robbed, when using exp tickets, it does say like its multiplied in the chat but it doesn't actually multiply it. Exp tickets grant flat exp and can not be multiplied

I'm pretty sure it does, too. With Exp III tickets and a 5.03x boost, the exp caps out and you can't use 300 tickets at a time (but 200 works -I've sent in feedback about this so it may be changed soon...). Or does this problem also occur when you don't use boosts? I haven't tested it out since there also seems to be a noticeable difference when you have large boosts.

I used an EXP Ticket II while checking my Exp in Status before and after, had Daily boost on for 30%.

The info says "Gained 2000000 Experience Points (x1.3)", and the actual increment in Status is exactly 2000000, not 2600000.

Just tested out the EXP Ticket III with magatama/title/login/accessory/weapon exp boosts and got the same result. Looks like the boosts aren't getting applied :/. Hoping that CS notices this bug or miscommunication when they're looking into the 300 EXP Ticket III problem.

it was brought to their attention a long time ago and they're probably not going to do anything about it because you could stack boost and make the tickets super broken
