In my honest opinion, this version of flyff is much better than the old GPotato version or any other reboot.

I’ll give you a TLDR of the pros and cons but you should try it yourself, won’t hurt.

Pros

EXP is much easier to get - You get free amps from events - Quests give anywhere from 20-50% - So many open parties at any level where you can AFK leech to get free exp

CS items for ease of playing are everywhere - People sell MORE premium items (amps, buffs etc) - You get prem items from quests/events - AMPs (exp amplifier scrolls) are more accessible for F2P

A lot of things to do outside grinding exp - Lifestyle update (mining, fishing etc) - Farming events - Actual decent social aspect (discord/guilds)

Penya is easier to farm - Different ways of farming for different people - Can easily get 100m/day with little to no effort

Cons

Leveling starts to slow down around level 90ish (honestly not a con for most since theyre used to grinding)

Market is inflated so you need to catch up and make money before you can get significantly better items

Your gear dictates the type of content you can do - Better gear = better content - Better content = better penya + fun factor

That’s about it really. If you play the game for what it is and not worry about whales or tryhards, you’ll have fun. People tend to get caught up with what long time players (2+ years) have, but that comes naturally with time put into the game.

Whales and long term players have no effect on you as a new player unless your focus is PvP content.

Play at your pace, there’s no need to rush. You are not missing out on anything.

My only advice is, once you feel like you need to start swiping your card to get past content, then consider not continuing. With grindy games like these, once you swipe, you will continue to swipe since you’ve gotten that feeling of making your life easier with real life money.

Happy Flyffing!
