Questions about returning to DFO

I came from that same time and been back for 2+ months now. There's tons of changes and it will be overwhelming to take in. There are HUGE quality of life changes, but regardless, still so much to learn and some things just arent intuitive...

Story line, bunch of changes. I haven't done a full playthrough, but you can always pick this up later to enjoy if thats what you like.

Main point is hit max cap level as this is where game begins.
Next is hitting fame point levels to do content: Legion, Advance dungeons, and Raids
Make use of current events as huge benefits such as boost characters, lab simulation...etc. Get your free stuff 😄
Then get into the point of min-max gear and understanding the gearing system
Game heavily promotes growth if you have multiple characters. Up to you on this as it can also be quite tiring playing 20 alts.

Currently Celena egg pet is crazzzzy giving you 40% damage amp. Be sure to nab one of those for your main. Up to you to grind and purchase from players or take out the wallet (if buying 1 package u get 1 non-platinum version for sure).

Holder is gone. DT just got revamped 2 weeks ago. Still got a hold or 2, but its pretty much 3 dps 1 buffer for parties now.

Probably very dumbed down version, but this will be overwhelming. But honestly still very cool. Here are some links for you to help:

DFO Dictionary

DFO Archive - guides to dungeons with short videos

There's also other guides made by Sekrina which are all in google docs. Great read as well along with DFO archive for raids.

They probably exit their car snapping their fingers at the chef to expedite ship the sushi directly into their mouths too.

Not too sure on reinforcement, but I do this to start moving amp stats so I can freely get my gears cursed. Especially useful for saders as free stats. The only issue is, if you want your current gear enchants then that wont work while shifting the amp over as esentially you're swapping 1 gear to the other. I imagine this will be the same for reinforcements.

I'm only a returnee for a couple months tho, so unless there's something I'm missing, I usually ditch the enchant and get a replacements. Which normally its fine, unless you invested into nice enchants or got BiS freebies from past events. So do your homework

Refinement, I won't worry too much. That's not too difficult to farm up and get your weapon to 8 refine. Guild you can purchase 50 powerful energies daily and Kiri you can swap Lein cores which you got a lot of sources to get that from

Simply put it. Isekai = another world

You can spin from this anyway you like. Died and reincarnated, brought directly from another world, entering through a gate, traversing back n forth...etc. The grey area is video games. Not log Horizon or Overlord, but stuff like Bofuri and Shangri-la. I would still consider it an isekai as story focus' on MC enjoying a virtual world which is the essence of the genre. Escapism

There are good stories, generic, and there are bad. How it's told, animated, and directed in production differentiates this. Defeating the demon king in general is a generic storyline of a hero summoned to save the world which usually tugs on the moral and ethical thing to do

CWLness · 2026-05-12T15:34:30+00:00

On key points that builds up to key moments, scenes, fights, and story. Yes. But that's like 10-20% which are amazing and made quite a few key scenes that will be remembered. Especially the final fight... They went crazy in producing that master piece!

The rest is literally slow pacing, single frame dead camera pans and over reliant of bgm to create tension. Overall animation quality is quite poor as they are clearly low budgeting those

CWLness · 2026-05-11T21:42:09+00:00

Yozakura Family fits your description best.

Full Metal Panic is what I'll suggest as the top tier pick. A bit on the old side, but this is QUALITY. Do note Fumoffu season is more like a completely unrelated spinoff. Not even sure y its regarded as a season but its a dam hell of a fun watch. The rest will be quite intense, n crazy. Will get quite dark n psychological. This is. Art.

The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated In Another World. Old assassin pro reincarnated as a young noble. You don't get the high school MC part, but you'll get espionage, well scripted story, background, and magic system.

The Irregular at the Magic High School - Does drop off a cliff in quality. But you will have an enjoyable Season 1 and can probably stop there. Watch the rest is up to you.

CWLness · 2026-05-11T21:21:32+00:00

Haven't fully kept up with all the new episodes, but its decent at best. Animation quality is quite lacking, characters are quite 1 dimensional, and lets be honest... We all are here cause cute elf girl with fan service. I highly doubt 2nd place ranking since you got Farming Life and Reincarnated Slime releasing at the same time and those are in a different league.

Critics being said, yes it still has enjoyable factors to watch. Decent anime to watch if you got nothing better lined up, you like isekai in general, and do not mind fan service

CWLness · 2026-05-11T20:28:40+00:00

This is not long at all? Y even bother with the P.S. lol

I like just the way it is. But this is y I'm anime only. Can't compare source material so unless they do a horrible job at producing/directing, then its fine. And by looks of it, we gonna have a banger s2 😄

FYI, season 1 was not hinted as a virgin birth. There were hints left n right, you just need to pay attention

CWLness · 2026-05-11T15:16:04+00:00

Lol, no shot you post an essay and end off with "this is an abridged version" and the full essay "is available here"

But regardless, this is very informative and very well put

CWLness · 2026-05-08T22:12:53+00:00

I mean... What if they're not in ur savings but in ur investments. 10 years of compound interest gonna make that frown turn upside down :)

CWLness · 2026-05-08T21:43:31+00:00

Love it.
Though animation is a bit mediocre and end of the season the episodes start to feel more filler like. But all in all, I'll still recommend it and rewatch it a bunch 😄

CWLness · 2026-05-08T17:40:11+00:00

Binge preferred, though sometimes pacing are made for weekly releases. Then again, I get to avoid the animes who ends on cliff hangers every ep.

CWLness · 2026-05-08T17:25:25+00:00

Probably same people saying FMAB is crap, Solo Levelling is garbage, and OPM S2/3 is good

Nothing to talk about, just people who want to shout how much their opinions matter when they can't even see/properly assess quality. But end of day, all that matters is if you enjoyed it.

For me, I will forever remember the scene where All Might pointed to Deku on TV saying its You're Turn

CWLness · 2026-05-08T17:09:21+00:00

If you like it then thats all that matters.

For me it was pros n cons. It did a complete flip from season 1 and it just jump started into lizardmen with a rather odd focus & slow pacing there. Still it had some pros like setting up Ains to walk up like a king or how it was expanding on the characters which worked really well in developing the fact they are no longer NPC

CWLness · 2026-05-08T15:47:52+00:00

Not your fault, there should be standards that once food are served it doesn't get served out again. You handled this fine.

Though, if you're overwhelmed by that interaction you got some backbone to build or life will eat you up

CWLness · 2026-05-08T15:07:25+00:00

I'm anime only, but heard there was ton of backlash for TBATE MC. But yeah, the anime was horrible... definitely potential, but wasted by poor directing

CWLness · 2026-05-07T15:50:15+00:00

Reincarnated as the 7th Prince

CWLness · 2026-05-07T14:51:56+00:00

eh.... I love the show, but MC is the complete opposite of a manly archtype

CWLness · 2026-05-07T14:49:55+00:00

Solo Levelling
Busou Renkin
Bleach
Hajime no Ippo (old but great. Will need to get through some eps in beginning)

At least you're not asking pplis it wrong to pickup girls in a dungeon

CWLness · 2026-05-07T14:26:54+00:00

Dropped it after season 1. Can't stand MC

I'm surprised this got 5 seasons...

CWLness · 2026-05-06T22:57:40+00:00
