I'm at a point where I have a lot of things to do in this game, but I'm not sure what to do first. I've played PSO pretty casually over the years, from the official Gamecube servers rife with hacked and duplicated items, to Scht's private servers and now here. I've never really got too much into hunting items or grinding to a high level, I never made it higher than ~130 before now, so when it comes to high level play I'm pretty green.
I got a 174 Pinkal FOnewm and a 116 Skyly HUnewearl as of writing this, so getting to 200 is a definite goal of mine, but they're both undergeared and I feel like better gear will help me level up quicker.
However when I'm running quests for EXP or items I feel like I'm dead weight getting carried by the veteran players, or I'm wasting time in solo mode. So when I'm hunting the gear I need I feel like I need to either be a higher level or I need stronger items so I'm not just getting carried every game.
ES weapons are also a far off goal, but I'm a bit intimidated since I understand how Challenge Mode works, but never really played it. I tried it with my friends way back on GC, playing split screen and getting wrecked every time since none of us knew what we were doing. I don't want to waste other players' time floundering around helplessly through CM, but without doing it I think I'm holding myself back
So far the important items for my Force and my Hunter that I don't have are:
V101, V502, any of the good mid/late game shields, most of the important weapons with any hit% or good %s in general, or any ES weapons like I mentioned before.
Then there's the fact I'm stuck with 2 section IDs and no Ranger character. I want to get some more diversity with SIDs and classes but starting another character feels like I'll have too much on my plate, especially since I've seen how many weapons Rangers need, and the thought of raising a mag and climbing up to 100 with another character feels daunting, considering the gear I have so far.
Apologies for the long-winded post, but I just want to know from some more experienced players-
What should my priorities be for a newish player who's trying to step up?
