some events you do have to grind really hard for (especially union ones depending on the union but mine can more or less get everything if people aren't too caught up in IRL matters). and assuming you're doing dailies too, you're gonna need at least 3-4....
at this point, "doing everything" even casually means raid runs, gem gacha, clearing daily/weekly missions, GO, event runs, accessory quests, farming for mats/gems you need... it's starting to rack up.
and actually, my point was to see where others were at cause apparently "first day you touched the game" > "amount of time actually invested", and i said multiple times that i can only do but so much since i've more or less been in casual territory since day 1.
where are you getting 4-5 (unless you're counting dupes, in which case you can have 7 if you fully grinded out the 3 phoenix events and 3 light pride weapons). Far as I know only the two light union weapons and phoenix bow were free ones to get FLB so far...
and not enough cores to farm Light catastrophe makes sense when RNG is still a factor. and I did need regalia to FLB the one phoenix bow I do have (would have been two, but.... that's why you lock your damn weapons... >.>). Hell, I'm sitting on over 70 cores for fire and I've nearly farmed enough for the first relic copy...
and no, I didn't keep the pride weapons cause i honestly underestimated it and, Sol is fucking OP... don't need ascension even with 14k-16k HP
yeah, people seem to forget i can't invest heavy time into this game despite being around since pre-launch....
not to mention some on here said to invest into one element mostly and that includes going through a crap ton of events... which honestly, thanks to that I've only got two SR among all my grids, I just need to level the weapons now
plus, i didn't know what i was really doing til about 6 months in (when i really started doing vids with any real info in them). assume i know what i was doing for almost 18 months now...
assuming they have a grid full of MLB weapons that is... i highly doubt someone has this high without getting some gacha weapons FLB and using Pride FLB weapons, cause 10 large assault at skill lv 30 is 210% and you likely won't have 10 if you're using a relic weapon
(speaking of which, gonna need some ori for that tsukiyomi bow i somehow gotten like 5 times...)
