Hi all,

So after over two years I want to give this game a go again with a completely new character. I understand that leveling parties are non-existent basically and now there are trust npcs that can be used. I'm not looking to power level, but to grind my way up on my own as far as I can.

So basically my questions are:

1. How far can you get leveling, completing quest and missions with only trust NPCs?
2. As far a servers, which one is the most active?

Thanks in advance...

1. 99, every expansion except Adoulin (and even that, after some time, if you're good enough). Real endgame is probably out of reach, but you can do almost everything except the very top of the pyramid once you put the work in and get geared up.

2. Asura and Odin are currently the largest that I know of.

1) All the way. The only things you'll have a hard time with are endgame things where trusts just can't keep up with either the complexity or stats (like accuracy).

2) Asura has the highest population, but every server is active in its own way. The real issue is really finding a good and welcoming linkshell, which you can probably find if you ask around. I personally run a linkshell that functions this way, and I know several other people in this site do the same thing on other servers.

Thanks for the response guys... I guess I'll go to Asura then.

So taking into account that I will be leveling with trust npcs, with which job should I start with? One of my immediate goals would be to unlock BST as soon as possible.
