, now at lvl 107, i thought i'd be happy .. right ?? 
but turns out that there are limits , whilst i wish for my charatcer to get stronger i realised that no matter what i did i couldn't , i got to a point where i couldn't independently do quests myself ..so i did what i've never wanted to do .... and that was asking to be carried through dugeons to complete my quests .. leaving me with the quests that are level impossible for my charatcer and a large majority of other players to be honest 
.. because i was being carried all the time , i ended up with bad magatama , weak weapons , and no helpful ability , no one wanted to carry me any more , i realised that having a high level in name didn't make me "strong" , what makes your character strong was being able to carry yourself without the difficulty , i mean asking for help from time to time is not a bad thing , but doing it all the time .. get prepared to get to a point where your character is lvl 100+ in name and lower than lvl 70 in skills , i had two options , be patient and farm for better magatama , STONGER weapons ... USEFUL abilities ...or give up.. so you know what i did ... i tucked in my tail and ran from the game .. i came back a few times .. you know to check it out .. with the new updates every month the game seemed to be getting even harder .... so i left .. for good ... BUT today that changes , i took a long hard look at my character , this was the character that I MADE , if i want her to stand with the strongest then i can make that happen !!! ... but how ?? 
please share some tips that helped your character build in strength , and abilities , and don't be hesitant to be honest on how long it will take , or the difficulty to get it !! your opinions will really help to a lot of people , a game is only fun when you achieve things yourself , whilst that is true , you really can't enjoy the game when your're stuck in a bind , so share some of your tips that helped you when playing onigiri !!
