Yes, it is difficult for new players at the beginning.
But don't expect to become an instant mob-killer unless you buy some gear to upgrade your char as you level up
Trying to MQ with lvl 20 gear, for example, just will not cut the cake
Every one of the so-called ''elite'' players started from scratch,
and managed to achieve their current status by wheeling and dealing, not whining and pining
This is from a player who was in it from the beginning, with no team play,
no running from the well-mob, no swapping of gear except thru the MP
where it was simple to sit in the weeds and snipe gear, and no vault.
If you want to get to MQ, I suggest you get involved in group climbs, keeping an eye out for helpful drops.
Most players will appreciate a tank, esp one who responds positively to advice
I dont expect to become a mob-killing machine at all, I've already traded some stuff to make my climbs easier and avoid too much grinding...
But I really want to try and play the game without investing tons of fg into it from the beginning.
I reached a point where I can reach the mq within a sufficient amount of time, but the MD just puts a stop to it, which is a bummer.
Well, actually I was here at the beginning as well, when there was no multiplayer aspect if LS - But last I played was back in 2008...
You might not remember me, but I actually was handling the "Ladder spreadsheet" for guild points on your request
I think its a bit unfair so say im whining and pining, Im simply stating that this MD thing is a real dealbreaker when grinding solo in the high lvls, especially as u unlock new characters.
I will gladly join any group that welcomes me, but most of ya'll are already tight knit groups who do your climbs together - so its a bit difficult to get in there hehe.
As I previously stated I will lvl some feeders and put my ninja on hold for this event.

this is a good strategy if you're best items are for mage/barb. Alternatively climb your main character as a barb to work on proficiency and to make use of your current proficiency.
Sorry if my first comment was a bit negative, as i fully agree that MD is a complete nuisance to new players and i think the game is better off without it, although last time i suggested that, i got shot down too :P
Thats good advice, but I have my ninja lvl 67 currently, so I think I'll just lvl some feeders for now and wait out the event.
I didnt recieve your first post as negative, unlike other certain posts, so dont worry about it
Thanks for your feedback!
