Also I'm kinda lost, is there a best node for grinding rank or should I be doing something else?
Best node for grinding rank: That would be Sunday AP quests. Which is today. They call it cave of gold ore I thonk.

Thunder now is more viable, although it would look otherwise considering this forum don't got much to say on current thunder. Brahma AW, Baal U, Mammon, Raiko, Marduk and Athena are all decent SSR picks (though Mammon falls short. Maybe Brahma AW, she's useable but a bit wonky). Kingu and Cyclops are the 2 most important thunder SRs you'll be looking for as well.
