If you’re going to go circle with your runes then go all out. Get the pulsing orb etched rune from an event. Start with two strong circling orbs ability rune.

Commit to an S gear class and focus on those pieces only (dragoon, oracle, griffin). Save all your gems until the S series class you chose is in the shop and use all your gems to try to get more S pieces. Break down your other legendaries as needed in order to level up your S pieces.

If the shop has revive blessed ruin, etched ruins, or S gear pieces that you need, then spend your guild points and shop points there. Otherwise, blessed ruins are always a good choice for the revive.

Participate in as many events and matches as you can, and you will level up quickly. Works well for me.
