Hmm yes~ now that I'm back from my vacation I can take the time to answer posts that the rest of the community hasn't gotten to yet 8D!
Anyway, moving on.
Tips for succeeding on No Scrubs Iris.
1.) Vote. Every 12 hours, log into the website, go to the support tab, click vote, and then click on the vote banner down at the bottom. Follow the steps, and you'll be rewarded with 10 tears (a type of in game currency, very similar to Arcana Tears from retail.)
These tears are the most liquid form of currency in the game (since they are in such high demand, you can turn them into just about anything, gold, gear, items, etc.)
2.) Log in and play (or afk?). The longer you're logged in, the more tears you acquire. Two tears per hour, plus voting tends to add up at a decent pace.
3.) Since the exp rate and drop rate are much higher here, don't worry too much about getting amazing gear at levels below 65. Save up your tears so you can get Costumes (for their bonus stats) or to exchange for trophies (another in-game currency) for high-end, top tier gears.
4.) Try to be social and make some friends, or invite friends to come play with you. The more people you have to work with, the less work there is overall.
5.) USE THE FORUMS. The forums are any player's greatest tool and asset.
6.) check out the special vendors in Terminus. Figure out what items you need and work towards those with the gold you acquire on your way up through the levels. (inventory bag expansions, warehouse bag expansions are a high priority in my opinion.)
I'm kind of out of tips, but now that people have seen me reply to this thread, I am sure they will chip in too.
