New player tips

Between 1 and 101 Player level
 * All stages cost 0 AP
 * Unit level is restricted to Player level.
 * You need level 85 for one of New Player milestones by your 7th day
 * Use Mercenaries it is much easier to clear stages! Visit Discord #friend_codes to look for friend or ask using in game chat!
 * Story quests give lots of player XP!
 * Do not rush to level 101 once you hit level 85!
 * Clear event stages, obtain milestones, farm gear, unit shards. Some stages cost up to 60AP after you hit 101.

Don't be afraid to try out stages you may not clear, check global Discord or Youtube for guides. InvoFang is doing great job to show how to clear EX/EX+/Hell Stages!

Retreating from Events/Quests with 0/X daily limit doesn't count against your limit!

Remember to do your Daily Events/Quests Raise your unit main job levels  This is where your unit get most of statistics from, also it is much more important than unit level! Once job level is at 11, you can fill all equipment slots to obtain Job Mastery! Here's small comparison:



Don't forget about other jobs!


 * Once you Mastered your main job - if you have resources - master other jobs for unit you want to use!
 * Each Job Master bonus is applied to all jobs - It's additional % to few unit stats
 * You can check Job Master bonus for a Unit on database
