It gets better. I did too there, just powered through. Depends on class, though. BD finally gets enough points/tools to do most stuff.
Also, if you can hit 36 to get all the gear and the soulshield set from Tomb, it's a lot nicer to drive around with 12K+ HP.

This stops later. It's not ever truly 'hard' per se (sans 1-2 fights or a shitty class/gear) but it certainly gets obnoxious enough when a mob interrupts your rotation with a block and you are forced to press other buttons.
In fact the game is made for you to aoe trash, that's why every class has aoe abilities, before buying the game I was told, if you're killing 1 at a time, you're doing it wrong.

Yeah basically you're supposed to pull large packs and aoe them. Difficulty comes from boss fights, never trash. And even then difficulty currently is kinda low(and especially in the leveling dungeons). Soloing the daily bosses stuff is interesting enough though. Get first ones in Jadestone, the scorpion and the poison mite thing, but those are still fairly meh. The sentinel dungeon in the first cinderlands desert town is where it starts getting fun I think. Well unless you're a summoner then it's like whatever, business as usual.

Decided to upgrade my weapon today. I had enough mats to go straight to True Siren +10. I had some 20 or so Cold Iron Offering weapons saved up, I figured that would be enough to get me there.
Haha... nope. Didn't even get me to Stage 3 of Awakened Siren. So after transmuting most of my Soulstones amd Element Powders away, I am now sitting on Awakened Siren +10 and it's absolute garbage compared to the True Profane weapon.
Afterwards I farmed Blackwyrms for 6 hours straight to try to recoup some of the money I lost. Unfortunately, no claw, Starling, or gems for me.

Jesus.
It's not no trade until I equip it.

1) Yes, just like AA levels. We will get 5 before we get the lvl50 content patches. Then there will be up to 20 HM lvls, depending if we get them all at once, or in stages.
2) There will be a daily, should be worth 1g or so. Difficulty will vary depending on how well you play, and your gear. The 7th Floor boss is Junghado, the BM we see in the later stages of the Story. His difficulty should be on par with fighting Naksun at lvl42 in Dreadtide Arena. You will need to farm MT for 2 weapons to upgrade from True Siren through to True Pirate. There is at least 1 SS set, which combined with BSH SS will be the best you can get (I think), along with a couple outfits (Junghado can drop his hat).
3) No weapon upgrades to the Hongmoon until we get Spiral Labyrinth (next content after BSH), which will be a super rare chance at a Legendary. You will need to farm 4-man BSH for your Hongmoon skill item, unless you can afford to buy it off the Market.
4) Zen Beans are a new currency that comes from Arena PvP. There is no daily cap, but you can only hold 20k Beans at a time. You can buy a costume, and most importantly, you can buy Soul Stones with them.

Hit 45 then you can upgrade by doing daillies and getting 10g a day or whatever you end up doing. They'll probably go down in price soonish though, hell they've been steadily going down. I think first one I bought was 8g, and I started late, first ones were like 15g from what I understand.

Yea, right now the Siren weapons are pretty bad compared to True Profane, especially for classes that need to burn Chi (mana), the proc for True Profane is super nice, and the weapon is perfectly fine for all Mushin Tower / BSH. Though with tomorrows patch, the Siren/Pirate weapons will get a buff in the form of a Skill bonus for each class. I don't know what skill bonus each class will get, so it might be lame, but it could also be really nice. I think the bonus will increase as you from Awakened into True version.

Most surprising thing to me right now is the price for Moonwater Tears, in NA they seem to be going for 70+sp each...kinda insane. You can make some steady money buy running Monkeystone dungeon and spiking the bids on the Tears (ape king dungeon is the fastest to run, unless you get a good/strong party for Tunnels).

I just solo Brightstone. That said on EU they're only 40silvers. I only do it a few times a day when I'm bored, I already got the recipe so no real need to other than making money.
And are we getting the skill stuff? It was supposed to be already in, but apparently isn't, maybe because we're on a higher version than intended and the skill stuff was removed at some point? But yeah the focus regen is a big deal on the upgraded weapons. I probably wouldn't be able to run the builds I run on my KFM without the profane procs, and even then every now and then I run dry if I don't get lucky enough. Although with more skill points I'll be able to get Smite on more builds or whatever, and Smite's buffed to give more focus too.
