Quick Answer
Pick a school gear direction after you know how you want to fight. Do not chase every diagram immediately. Start with the set that matches your build, check quest levels, gather materials while traveling, and upgrade in stages.
School Choice
| School | Best for | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Griffin | Sign-heavy or hybrid play | Works best when you actually use signs often |
| Cat | Fast attack and aggressive sword play | Rewards dodging more than tanking |
| Bear | Heavy armor and safer trades | Can feel slow if you dislike stamina management |
| Wolf | Flexible hybrid route | Usually better after the site can split a dedicated Wolf page |
Diagram Route Rules
- Buy or find map leads, then check the suggested level before riding across the world.
- If a treasure quest is far above your level, mark it and return later.
- Keep monster materials until you know which upgrades you need.
- Upgrade one main set instead of crafting every set at the same time.
- Use gear pages with build pages, not as isolated collection chores.
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Better route |
|---|---|
| Starting every scavenger hunt at once | Choose one school and progress cleanly |
| Ignoring level warnings | Save overleveled diagrams for later |
| Selling rare materials | Check upgrade needs first |
| Wearing random higher numbers only | Match armor, skills and playstyle |
