Return of a rollback survivor (need assistance)

Sup guys, i kinda miss this game, even though they killed off my high lvl chars.
Ive noticed the new cap and skill adjustment posts, so im wondering if its a good time to play again.
I have a 174 2hs and 164 brawltank + unlucky 150 blacksmith.
Any major changes for the past year?
Critical need of new gear for being decent?
I still remember me being a good tank up till Seelee last year and an average dps.
Where do i even start, or should i do resets?
Current spina: 5m
Eq: mostly average with 1s and xtals
Friends/guildmates: all ded
Will be very grateful for any useful tips, cheers

 

Well, the big thing right now is the 5th anniv event. Apparently, equips/stats will become cheaper once summer event comes out sooner or later so keep that lil bit of spina left for later. In a meanwhile, focus on leveling up your characters. And lastly welcome back and have fun.

 

Thx. Well ive noticed the anniversary, but the prices/economy here in toram always hits me hard, lol.
Guess its lvling time either way, since im using almost basic eq on my chars. While tank can live most of the time, the 2hs didnt quite satisfy my expectations (when i was still playing). Still have like ~20 books with xp/drop, so i guess i'll manage to hit 200 on at least 1 (or both), but where do ppl lvlup these days, venena?
Any info i should take notice with anniversary event? Like, drops that can be sold later or...? (Still have ~50+ easter eggs from 2019 for the dyes lol)

 

I suggest you make a farmer for now. its easy to make spina as there are a lot of options availble.

- anti deg 350k per stk
- crafting recipe (deformed blade + heated sword fin, diomedea suit recipe, ignis blade recipe) 30k - 100k per stk
- anniv cloth 50k ea( do anniv 2 ex battle and get boxes you can get first anniv apps 1h and bow is 100k ea)
-anniversary silk 100k ea
-energy bottle 20k
and lots more.

other than that you can go grind some levels till 190 (better if 200), make a blacksmith and farm like hell once ex mode is released on 5th anniv area 5.

 

Yes, venena as always from 154 to 177 (preferably) hard to nightmare then altoblepas 'til 183 then venena(ulti) again to 198.
Then from 198 to capped (210) there's finstern. A lot of players lvl up there so you shouldn't be having a hard time looking 4 party.

 

Ok, well...what can i say...venena parties dropped in quality for the past year. If im playing my tank, we mostly managed 1.45-2.45 runs, but after ive done my tank and went to dps its hell. Tanks rush boss ignoring towers, laser shoots all around the map, whole party wipes, 4-8min if finished at all.
Rip

 

you got paired to leechers party alliance or some of your party members are bs in disguise rushing to gain level so they can craft anniv weapons. average time on ulti I got prior to anniv event was 2:45 on ulti
