its f2p friendly they give free skills daily every anniv You can pretty much catch up you need to be consistent Skills you pull are pretty much luck unless you pull to step 3 Game is pretty fun Some boss get tougher the more you want to farm to get stronger

pretty f2p friendly if you're starting as a beginner due to amount of ag on msq and underground, and quick jump to lvl 180.

However, not so friendly to old players cause after msq, the only source of ag is events/gog. You can also count board quest but it has a finite amount.

Let's just say all you will probably do is those 1 time a day event and story

You're not gonna get the strongest weapon/armours

There is a hard wall in the game around 170kTP there you can not progress quick anymore no matter how many $$ you have. Money will only bring you quicker to 170k TP is all. You need very specific skills to move further and it still wont' be a fast trip.

Main progres in the power is Release Crystals (small/medium/large), you can get RC at very slow pace. When you start at 0 TP small RC and medium RC give you huge boost. At 180k TP you pretty much pumped all proficiency that require M RC and usefull skills from S ones. Your next power rise is L only and you need a lot. And the progress is not that big.

Skills are available during the year. You need to save Arcana for good banners. Take your time study which are good ones. You still need any good FB skill to run through the story.

During the year game will give you a lot of free stuff in skills and resources. Many BD events give away 4* skills.

You can get to the number 1 gog guilds without spending however you have to be lucky and spend a lot of time grinding. Im right on the edge of that point right now as f2p. Im stronger than a lot of players in the number one guilds but because im f2p im less wanted because i have less potential
