Don't feed your MAG till you do research

Don't go to block 69 if you're streaming Block 69 has been removed. RIP hentai lovers. (I think they are migrating to block 34 because you know...rule 34...)

Being a Male is a LOT LESS expensive than being a female (cosmetics)

Don't play around family & friends since 85% of all females are basically naked with the other 14% being "kawaii lolis"

Don't go all out on your armor and equipment, you will reach endgame needs pretty fast

Don't horde your Bonus Quest keys forever, they expire after about a week.
If your Silver Bonus keys expire, you can trade 5 in for a Gold, but if your Gold expires, then you ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up and should've used it sooner.
[EPISODE 6 UPDATE]: UNLESS THEY ARE ABOUT TO EXPIRE, SAVE YOUR RAINBOW KEYS FOR YOUR HIGHEST LEVEL CLASS. Rainbow Keys give an INSANE amount of XP and AMAZING Loot, BUT ONLY IF YOU ARE HIGH LEVEL (80-90+ minimum recommended)

DO NOT TRUST DUDU

The best elements you want to go for on your weapon are Light and Wind at the moment since MOST of the enemies in Urgent Quests are weak to one of them (when Episode 6 comes out, get a Dark weapon as well for those enemies)
[EPSIDOE 6 UPDATE]: Light is still the best weapon element to get since MOST Episode 1-5 monsters/bosses are weak to it, with Dark now being 2nd best since almost all EP6 enemies/bosses are weak to Dark. Wind is now the 3rd best element since only SOME of EP4 monsters were weak to it.

FEEL FREE TO ASK FOR HELP. VETS WILL GLADLY GIVE HELP. IF YOU DO GOOD, THE PARTY DOES GOOD, WHICH MEANS YOU ALL GET BETTER LOOT.

If you want to SELL items without buying Premium, buy a LOT of FUN points by exchanging Ex-Cubes. FUN Scratchers have a chance to drop "3 Day Personal Shop" passes

If you can't make it to every Urgent Quest to try your luck and get the best weapons and armors in the game with non-existent drop rates, just got with the next best ones that are farmable 24/7 unlike Urgent Quest drops, and they are also player shop purchasable (for a couple million). I recommend the Nemesis and Raven series weapons, which are farmable from the Ultimate Quests. and for armor, either the Ray or Saiki series. These are possibly the best endgame weapons and armors that DON'T require you to try your luck at EVERY Urgent Quest pop-up.

The new Hero class that will come out with Episode 5 will ONLY BE AVAILABLE if you have leveled any 2 classes to level 75. Keep in mind that Hero DOES NOT allow a SUBCLASS (it would be too powerful if it did).
[EPISODE 6 UPDATE]: To use ANY Scion class (Hero, Phantom, Etoile) you will need to do the above. ALSO unlike Hero, Phantom and Etoile CAN be used AS A SUBCLASS (but cannot HAVE a subclass).

Getting classes to Lv.75 will unlock a title which will give you a PERMANENT Stat buff to your character across all classes, which at one point may be necessary for you to utilize. As a Lv.90 Hero, I was unable to equip the new Elder Pain Omega sword. Despite being max level, my MEL PWR stat was too low. By leveling up FIGHTER to Lv.75, I unlocked a permanent +50 MEL PWR and other stat bonuses, allowing me to go back to Hero class and equip the weapon I once couldn't.

If you wish to get MIN/MAX DPS with weapon and unit Augments, look up a guide how to do it. Explaining Augments and which ones are ideal will take about a 3 page essay. So please go look it up on the PSO2 Subreddit, or something like that.
[EPISODE 6 UPDATE]: You can now get a LOT, if not, ALL weapons required to turn in for a powerful top tier 15* weapons by simply turning in Rising Weapon Badges, Unique Weapon Badges, or even just doing Collection Files to get the necessary trade-in materials. The grinding for 15* weapons has been HEAVILY REDUCED (you can even get some DECENT 15* weapons from trading in).

Feel free to throw anymore QUICK advice and I'll add it to the review! Enjoy your time in weaboo hell!

Feel free to check out my Personal Quarters or check me out in the Lookbook! I'm always AFK on Block 1. Sometimes B-34 or 42.

Lastly, please give this review an award of any kind if you found it useful! Thanks!

Final Update: After 6000 hours of playing after this first launched for NA, I have finally stopped playing. I am currently cashing out in my shop. If you want me to add any advice to this review, feel free to leave a comment, because since I stopped playing, I don't know how to update this any further.
