Current character level: 27
Current class and level: Fortegunner 1
People finally joined me on a GBR run! Mostly running B missions got me up to Fortegunner just as I was getting sleepy, so I couldn’t be bothered to sort out my new equips or do any shopping. Meseta seems to not be as much of a problem this time around, even though I’m only permitting myself to spend on tokkybot what tokkybot generates, so I think a Phantom rifle and a nice Shotgun are well within reach. Also, reaching Fortegunner means I can start using Laser Cannons. My only previous experience with them was as a low level Guntecher when A ranks first came out but I’ve heard they’ve been beefed up quite dramatically since Ambition of the Illuminus.
An annoying observation I made whilst running the GBR is that there are a lot of people still scared of challenge. A low level Techer (with a low ID number I might add) entered the party, he had quite good equipment, a nicely ground Ranpegi and a Tesbra, obviously someone’s second or third character. He fired off a few Ramegids and stuck around for a bit, but I assume he just got bored as there was no level 80 guy there to one shot everything after he “got hits in”, stating “This is taking too long man, I’m so bored”. It was a slow process, sure, a couple of low level guys taking on White Beast B, but if you stick with it then sure you won’t level up quickly, but you’ll grow in terms of knowledge of your class, your limitations, and the properties of your Photon Arts. In my opinion, this is more important than getting to the level cap as quickly as possible.
