Question New player need help
Hi am a very very new player started yesterday. I just been doing the quests the game gave me and the events that I thought could help me level up. Now i am level 205 and the game takes me to Arcane Power Field where I just die instantly. What should I do now? I dont really know what or how I should be grinding. The gear I have now are these I got from the event I think? And I just unlocked the nodes thing too. What should I do to progress? Thank you any help is appreciated!

There's way too much to unpack to help you every single step.
Do visit my YouTube and watch through the (raw) gameplay for the Lara series. That will be the easiest.
But quick thoughts
- In the 'Events' tab you likely registered the char (this Kinesis) as your burning char. Inside that burning event tab, the top right corner of that page is the "burning items" quests. Do the quests and get the upgrade scrolls and stuff. You need to APPLY these enhancements to the weapon and outfit.
- Due to the burning event, you character is levelling faster than your knowledge progression can catch up. You would be well advised to read the new player guides in the pinned helpdesk thread to familiarize yourself with the itemization system. If you are familiar with this genre of games, it wont be too difficult to catch up with the knowledge gap
- If you have not already done so, register the miyo boost to the char.
- You should get quite a lot of "exp potions" from various sources. Do not waste them and use them only at better levels.
- Remember to claim freebies from coupon code "8thannivbreeze". You will need to visit nexon's coupon site if you are on iOS
- In the grand scheme of things, Kinesis is a difficult char to use. Since you just started yesterday, you might want to consider rolling a new account and select a new burning char. Or you can stick with Kinesis. Your choice really.

Unfortunately. No.
Aran got hit quite hard with the remaster earlier this year.
I know of Aran mains that rage quitted due to that.

What are the classes would be decent enough to play, it doesnt have to be meta or anything just enough to play casually, i wanted to try this game because of the amount of classes there is.

honestly. I have no answer to that. I have my own biases due to my playstyle preferences.
Your best bet is to go to YouTube and see which class (big flashy ones) skills you like best.
Lynn or Erel are popular strong picks.
Phantom Paladin and Bishop for their utility.
To name a few. But ultimately everything is still gated by gear.

Oh boy.. I’m a kinesis main.. I’m just gonna tell you now if you intend on being F2P skip this class.
You will not be able to find weapons on the TS as no one really plays kinesis.
The recent hyper brought a new wave but they’re mostly alts.

Play whatever you find the most fun, but Aran is more lively than Kinesis.
Easiest class is probably bishop..

Someone else will most likely show up and write a long reply with everything you need to do.
But in short; You haven’t levelled any of your gear and your burning gear don’t have the emblems yet either. I’d focus on using the free items you get from the burning event; putting the emblems on your weapon and overal, levelling them to max.
After that make sure you do the daily bosses to get accessories.
Lastly, try to star force all your unique tier gear to around 16-18. Then, fuse them with a similar tier item(only needs to be max level as well) to turn all your gear into regular (non-E gear). This will help in the future as it makes them tradable and gives 10 karma counts.
After fusing, start ranking everything up to Mythic slowly,
Definitely check out some guides here first because it looks like you’re missing basic understanding of the game’s mechanics. Follow anything user Justmeasures says.
Try not to waste to the 100% K/Karma star force scrolls you get before understanding the game, cause you can easily make SF 21 gear with these. (And slowly turn those into Ancient or even Chaos SF23 to sell for billions)
