considering I hit about lvl 1 - m2 in a total of maybe 2.5-3.5 hours of gameplay in grinding consistently how long would m2-m33 probably take me? Also I'm looking to trade some RPs for some items like redscale pet and s1 gears fujin.
The things you should worry about aren't the m2-33 grind but the m33-g1 grind and then the g1-12 grind
You should be able to do g1-12 in 2 weekends of 3x, just keep hitting people up in game for sups/exp pills. lots of the g12s are happy to support new players grinding hard and also helping at hsb from g1 on.
Yep there are a couple g12s that were friendly in helping me with awareness and exp boost, especially to get on my feet at first. I kinda started a guild instead of trying to get into one and it's actually going well, met some old darkshogun members from aeria unexpectedly and had some ppl from mayn sign on. Been mostly fun despite lack of other clan's players, trying to actually advertise and even stream and make gameplay vids of the server for a little potential publicity. Two of my guildies asked for best wishes to go Jin because they wanna fluff up other populations of the other clans. I'm in my end master levels now.
This. We do need more people in the other factions, this game can flourish if we can bump Jinongs player base
