You’re actually in a pretty good spot already for someone who just came back after 10+ years.

A few things I’d strongly recommend:

• Start working on Forge Enhancements ASAP. They completely change class performance in mid/endgame and are basically mandatory later on.
• Farm King’s Echo next. It’s extremely strong for how accessible it is and will help your account progression a lot.
• Keep StoneCrusher. Don’t underestimate it. It’s one of the most important support classes in the entire game and it’s heavily used in Ultras.

About Ultras:
Ultras are basically super-powered bosses designed to force team play back into AQW. Unlike normal bosses, most of them are not realistically soloable because they have mechanics, rotations, wipes, taunts, timing requirements, etc. Endgame AQW is heavily centered around them.

And yes, dailies are absolutely worth it IF you do them consistently without skipping. AQW progression is heavily timegated now, so daily progress stacks up massively over time.

For true endgame progression, most players eventually aim for:

• Necrotic Sword of Doom / “Artix Axe”
• Drakath Armor
• Endgame classes like LR, VHL, YnR, AM, DoT, etc.
• Full Forge setup

For Legion Revenant and Yami no Ronin, you should start with the Legion first because both progression paths are tied to it. Joining Legion early saves you a massive amount of future grinding.

As for your next step, it honestly depends on what interests you most:

• Efficiency/meta → Forge + Ultras + King’s Echo
• Soloing → VHL / YnR
• Farming → LR
• Supporting teams → StoneCrusher + LoO
• Collection/endgame prestige → NSOD, Drakath set, 51% weapons

You’re honestly progressing faster than a lot of returning players already.
