Endgame PvE Tips to Keep Going

About This Section

I have a strong belief that there is almost always something to do or grind in Trickster, you just either lack the knowledge or the desire to continue your gaming experience
This section is for those that struggle with the former, not the latter. If you are the latter, that is an internal issue that you should look within yourself for answers for.
Trickster only limits you as much as you limit yourself in terms of end game content. There is plenty to do, it is just not nearly as instantly gratifying as the early to mid game.
Try to keep an open mind about Trickster. It is a very old game but your limit is genuinely your imagination and will to grind, but there is plenty to do (and flex, if you're into that) when all is said and done.

MAKE A NEW CHARACTER!!!
Figure out things you can grind to in terms of level and the quickest path of least resistance to your goal
Try researching different ingame events not yet implemented but are vanilla (i.e. the karu event) and figure out a swift path to grinding characters to the minimum level for that event so you can farm it later
Try seeing if you can figure out a better quest leveling system than FastLane for event/episode/mail reward spam!
Try different builds, try different equipments, try different skills, try different classes
Make a whole zoo of colorful, varied characters!
Make a Driller army to hoard wealth and resources
Make a wind sheep army to farm cards, Eternal tickets, and galder, depending on how powerful you make them
Make a Paula to farm Kronos/special event bosses (i.e. GM Stella’s Janus)
DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Yes, EVERYTHING!!!! EVERYTHING YOU CAN STOMACH!!!!! >:3c
