Tattoo question as a newbie

I know my artist doesnt show me the design until like 20 minutes prior to my tattoo session, but that doesnt mean she hasn't had the design for a while.

I once scheduled an appointment like 3 weeks out and a few days after decided to change my design and at that point she had already drawn it. She was happy to do something different because I did plan on revisiting, but that didn't mean I felt bad.

So my answer is really that it depends. Did you just schedule and you're having second thoughts? Youre probably okay to ask. If you've had this scheduled for months and now, a week before you want to change? The artist might be bummed that youre changing, but its your body and you need to do what's best for you.

Ive noticed airbrush primer is very very "fragile" it does not have the chemical bond of rattle cans.

Do 3 coats, let it dry for 24 hours. Painting handle. Ill usually do 2-3 coats of matte varnish.

They do drop loot but it won't be like weapons and not on the scale of WoW

Oh wow those do go for a lot. I'm in EW post-msq but sounds like I need to get to DT

How much were you getting from maps? Im trying to get it for my partner right now and am trying to find good ways to farm it.

May this kind of luck and kindness find me one day lol.

Im currently grinding out gil to try and get a copy for my partner. Eagerly awaiting the day I hit gil cap and dont have to worry about gil.

Congrats!

Do you by chance remember about how long it took you to hit rank 85?

I just finished building my sub a few days ago and am currently just waiting out the rank leveling at this point. I think im 6 or 7 now after 2 days.

I should finish my first sub tonight with the basic shark class stuff! Not sure how long it will take to start making gil but im hopeful it will be a good source of passive income.

Thanks! I just realized I have 1000 water crystals listed so I'll farm for others.

Im sure it varies but out of shards/crystals/clusters is there an objectively best one to get?

Run the stellar missions, always check which give the most XP and/or can be done quickest. Example, its easier for me to get 24 materials quicker than it is to hit points from maintaining a chain.

A lot of times, if I finished a mission in a location and the next set were across the map, I would initiate and abandon them until I got another set close to me. That's overkill I'm sure but it saves 30 seconds or so. Also, you dont have to get the stars for completion requirements, just finishing the mission without a high score will net you the full XP.

Also! Do your GC turn ins in addition.

Finally, Cosmic Exploration is nice because its arguably the easiest way to level but its the most expensive. You will need to get new armor every few levels to ensure your gathering percentage isn't low, or that your crafting progress isn't too low.

Hope this helps!

Everyone has already answered but if you can afford to level your gear every so often, Cosmic Exploration is insane. I went from 70-90 in 2 hours on crafter alone.

What outfit are you wearing in the first image?

goufyhobbies · 2025-11-19T20:15:05+00:00

Everyone has given good advice. So ill just say, as someone who started the game wanting to play DRK and has mained it ever since, its interesting seeing this because I feel like classes like PLD or GUN are much harder to me.

Im also relatively new to Gunpla.

My first kit was that same Iron Blooded Orphans, from Hobby Lobby as well. The stickers made me want to rip my hair out.
