Hello whoever's reading this, I played in 2014 and have finally logged in after so long. Fortunate enough, there's an event for returning players. I'd just like to know if anyone could give me any tips for the game, and what it's like now. Is it much quicker to level now? Do I still need someone to carry me through certain dungeons multiple times just so I can reach the next area? Better yet.. is it possible to send/trade costumes? What's new, I mean it has been a few years! I'm considering making another character so.. I need a little head ups. Thank you!

Welcome back to the game. I'm still catching up on things in the game myself but here are some changes in answer to your questions:

Yes, because the exp needed for levels 1->100 has been decreased, the exp rates have been increased and there's an exp ticket dungeon which helps you level ridiculously quickly.

Skills of ranks 5+ have had skill force increases so you shouldn't need as good a char to progress far in the story. There's also a skill card dungeon and weapon dungeon. (the exp, skill card and weapon dungeons are all Warding dungeons for which you need to do this).

Nope...

Yes, there is exp ticket dungeon which make lvl to 100 a piece of cake.

That still depends much on your gear. Also there are some *restricted* story dungeons: you cant get carried unless the carry one actually reach the same story progress as yours.

No.
Many things are also added into the game: new types of partners, new weapons, more story, a bunch of shitbugs, and new sublime ougis. Oh, and a bunch of shitbugs lol (much has been fixed)
