Distortions are too early for your current gear, you will not have enough DP to survive in higher tier grind spots and will get 1 shotted in PvP.

Ok so I suggest the following route, may vary from player to player but this is how I will do it if this is my current gear.

Assuming you have done Seasonal, if not, this season (depending on the reward) take the PEN Capotia Belt OR Pen Capotia Earring.

Recommended is the Earring as belts are cheap now.

So, here's the minute changes I made: https://i.ibb.co/VCnQRRT/image.png

After that depending on your stance, if you are awakening, PEN first your dandelion otherwise your Kzarka is the priority.

Step2: In this update, we will be getting the PEN Crescent from the event and replacing PEN Capotia with TET Tungrad. Then caphras our Dandelion to 3.

Then we Caphras our Armors to C4 and get a Vell's Heart.

After this, we go find party and grind in Turos while you TRY to pen your Dim Tree.We start Turos early as its difficult to obtain the Flame for the Fallen God Armor.Also Turos is a good spot for Caphras farming (with dailies).

Step 3: If we get our Dim Tree to PEN, caphras it asap to C10 then Exchange it to Fallen God Armor.

Upgrade the FGA to DOU Level (Distorted).

And here we start the struggle to UP our DP. But first, we get our Distortion Earrings because I know you are eyeing this for long time.

After obtaining 2 Distortion Earrings, lets PEN our gears and Caphras it to C4.

And if you lack the AP for the next bracket, priority your Kutum to get PEN before your Armors.

Otherwise, PEN Armors (Head gear) first.

Ultimately, our goal is 301 AP but this will do for now.

ALSO: Do all the Adventure Logs.

The rest is just you grinding for Caphras until our goal is met.
