What do i need to do now?

I was playing the game for a week and a half now. I recently finished the mq and is currently lvl211. And now, im following the guide for lvling, and is now at
( dark dragon [ultimate] ). The boss is pretty hard to beat, and theres literally no one who will let me join their party. After doing some research, i found out that choosing katana basically means i shouldn't expect that a party will want me to be part of them, and merc isn't that effective rn even if its high lvl tank or high lvl with high attack. I have a guild but i cant really say that im friend with them, they aren't helping me too, well atleast there are 1 or two of them that actually talk to me. I thought that MMO games will be fun as i'll get to meet amazing people that'll play and help me with the game. But as of now, i hardly encounter a player that is willing to help me. If u guys have any suggestions please tell how i can lvl up or get stronger.

Btw when it comes to spina, i farm minotaur skin. The highest amount of spina i've grind is 1.5M.

 

It's currently the time for anniversary and summer event. People are farming anniversary items and Summer Shell like crazy so the grinding areas can be empty nowadays. In other words, everyone is busy.

There's an alternative grinding spot in Recetacula Sector, a mini boss called Canemofish. It has crazy fractionals though so mercenaries will melt if you're not careful. It has simple patterns on the plus side, but it will still be a slow grind. Another alternative is watching out for livestream codes for a chance to get Adventurer's Diary. From there, you will do boss grind + main quest so you won't get stuck again.

You should get an equipment upgrade before your continue grinding levels.

 

Thanks for the advice!
