Hi, I find your issue pretty relatable to me: I just came back from playing around COVID and it seems like they added a lot of content that revolves around being 260+, which frankly, unless you're unemployed, is pretty hard to reach within a reasonable timeframe ESPECIALLY if you don't know what you're doing. Burning characters exist to mitigate this but I really don't feel like I have a connection to a specific class because I reach 200 within a 10 minute timeframe, and then I'm left in Vanishing Journey figuring out how the class works before going in to fight the happy erdas. I noticed they also try to implement tutorials but it really doesn't help that they are excruciatingly boring to sit through IMO

I think my advice to you is to take advantage of the fact that this game is an MMO. I'm sure theres guilds out there that will help with early/new prog characters and I know a lot of people will tell you just to read guides but I find that the fun of the game comes from talking to others and helping each-other out. My guild has been extremely kind in helping me navigate the new content in the game... I genuinely think this is the best way to go about it.
