raids is where this game differ from gbf, cos no matter what this game will never be popular until u can join and leech 60 raids within 1hour for 2bp each during magnafest and of course the nutaku servers will die lol.
most people now are still grinding ranks. the sp quests and main quest 15-4 are best spot for rank points. but the best grid before events is as many sr atk item as possible and the only place to get reliably is from hosting or mvping raids which is less rank points. thats a hard choice to make. more rank before event comes out so u can sleep longer before ap waste, or more power in ur party if rng likes u and drops u a lot of sr atk item
if compared to gbf, then current short goal for any player is to success mvp own hosts to double the chances at atk sr for ur element using same hosting ap. that shit hurt even if u can land 2x atk debuff
