If the combat and the dungeons are enjoyable for you then you're in for a treat later on. The later dungeons, abyss dungeons, and combat mechanics are all superior in every way. If the terrible Asianness of the game and questing process doesn't result in you quitting, you generally find LA enjoyable would be how I describe it to folks.

That's probably some of the most important rewards you need to go after. That's just my guess, but it seems logical. I think everything is just about slowly grinding and improving your characters in any way possible.
I could be completely wrong though.

Yes. You generally prioritize rewards that provide skill potions (such as giant's hearts) for this reason. I'm at 303 skill points as I prioritized it quite a bit, which ends up being able to +10 two additional abilities compared to a fresh 50 (which is huge). Don't skip these.

Don't worry about it as Knowledge transfer will always be an option so long as you have 600 gold.

Something i keep in mind is, this game has a ton of content, it's overwhelming but it's because we have years of content that's been pumped out to keep the tryhard koreans busy, imagine if this game only launched up to vern and only one chaos dungeon and one guardian.
Some tips: mining and tree cutting lead to ship parts.
The astray is the best ship there is and you should find out what to do to get it, it's a long grind that you have to be working towards. There's a good YouTube video of how to get it.
Do your awakening quest line, those skills are bonkers if you haven't done it yet.
Still having fun at the post 50 game, i miss a lot of events but there's just so much to do that it's hard to know priorities!

It'd have launched with up to shushire, that's what they did in russia, but yeah that'd be barebones. Beta was up to Rohendel though so they'd have likely launched with full T1, and 1month later T2, so it wouldn't have been that bad. 4 abyss dungeons per week, 2 tiers of guardians, and plenty fo time to spend upgrading your gear to 15 while still having time to clear out side content at a leasurely pace. Sure the last week might have been pretty meh and for hardcore people who got to T2 in less than a week they'd complain there isn't anything to do, but it wouldn't have been bad that way.
It is what it is though, just the "race" it creates from releasing with full T3 then saying "btw raids are coming in one month" is somewhat poor execution imo, especially since we don't have the full catch up mechanics. Granted with full catchup, even casuals would be in T3 2weeks in, so maybe it makes sense, just kinda weird. Also class release schedule sounds really fucking ass, they better be releasing more than one class at a time, 2/3 months per class when we're missing like 6 or 7 but they're planning to release raids really quickly is dumb as shit. People want to play their "real" main for raids, not some char they know will be an alt 3-6months from then.

I preferred the original implementation. Used to be once you reached like logging level 5 you could buy a saw instead of an axe.

Yo one of you two russian expert bois, what's the point of T2 gathering nodes? Is it just the purple nodes that are better? The normal nodes seem the same so wondering if there's any reason I should bother gathering in T2 zones instead of T1, seeing as how I can't get the purple nodes anyway.

I hit 50 last night with leisurely play.
Now begins the 'real' game, I guess.
I had a question though -- a couple pages back, someone commented that it's common to level 1-50 without using a single healing potion..wtf? Maybe, I'm careless or maybe it's a consequence of me having done every dungeon (solo, on Hard) that I came across. Because I, definitely, had to use healing potions in those.
Soloing the leveling dungeons on Hard is standard fare though, right?

That's awesome. I'm going in completely blind, and just using the in game tutorial until I hit 50. I had no idea there's tradeskills

They changed some things with gathering. I don't know if its unique to NA/EU or not, but I haven't seen it in RU. Nodes with "10" or "20" just refer to what level of that gathering skill you need, and they give you a few more resources than a normal node. But, as far as tiers, I have no idea. Basically, when you want a specific item, like say a certain fish. The tooltip on that fish says what zone to catch it in. But, the zone map, the gathering info at the top right, is also supposed to tell you what you get there, but for the blue rarity fish it just says "fish." I'm still figuring out the changes, just haven't been focusing on it much yet.

Soloing the leveling dungeons on hard is not standard fare. This is because there is no reason to do them on hard (the gear upgrades get replaced rather quickly and there is no exp or advantage to do them on hard, especially since it doesn't really add much challenge). Most people speed through them on easy and skip past most mobs (thus not requiring any pot use).
It sounds like you're leveling and enjoying the experience, which would certainly require you to use pots. If you've done the process a bunch and are skipping ahead / avoiding most things, it's normally to have minimal pot use.
Congrats on reaching the actual game though, happy the tutorial wasn't too bad!
