Can you bring me up to date, please?

I am back after 2.5 years.

For my character, I am playing my BM (156 now)

Honestly, I feel lost. Can y'all just update me on what I MUST know? In respects to making my BM complete. I don't know if I have any job picked.. Forging? I am really behind with my MS knowledge. Nebulites? Monster cards do something now with my Codex?
Am I blind and can just find all I need to know in the game?

I have familiarized my self with hypers and already know how and where to train.
There just seems to be a lot I am missing..

Thanks! Look forward to some MS discussion with fellow BM's!

Surprising no one mention secondary weapons.

Secondary weapons are just weapons that you can add potential, so pretty handy to have for an extra 20% dex, and it's available to all classes I believe.
There's also Pantheon, with the 2 new Nova classes (Kaiser and Angelic Buster) with new equipment (which is pretty useful, considering that it adds att.)
Also the Sengoku classes (Kanna and Hayato) with lvl 150 weapons.
And future content, new classes like Xenon, Demon Avenger, WA ARE GONNA BE REVAMPED, and other stuff on google.

Every class is good in their own way.

Thanks @ Mr Jurgenn for the words.

I am really diggin the running hurricane.

How about pocket items? If I am not mistaken, I quest for a slot? Then I can make my purchase?

How do I choose a job?[/quote]

Pocket Items are obtained from a guy in the Henesys market area. In order to do the quest you need to have Level 30 charm. To raise your charm level, change your appearance, wear Nx items or certain equips (ex. Zak Helms), gain de/fame. You'll also need a rose clipping to complete it, which you might be able get from harvesting herbs. Jobs/Professions can be learned at Ardentmil after you do a quick quest. You can choose 1 primary job (Mining/Herbalism) and one secondary jobs (Smithing/Jewelery/Alchemy)

That's your opinion, I love Bowmasters. Yes, we don't have the best damage, but it's not that bad

Nebulites are like an extra line of potential, there are 4 ranks, D, C, B and A. D is the worst, and A the best.
They have pretty much the same stats as normal potential has. You can make a nebulite slot on your item, by using an alien socket creator, it opens the nebulite slot, after this you can put a nebulite on the item. Not every nebulite can fit on every item, so be carefull with that. You can get rid of the nebulite by buying a nebulite diffuser in the cash shop for 500nx.

As for monster cards, pretty much all monsters have their own card. You can collect these cards by killing the monsters. You can see your cards in your crusader codex. The crusader codex is worn automatically, and you can't drop or unequip it. The more monster cards you have, the better your codex gets. The max is 8 all stat. Further, every region has its own set. When you complete a region, you unlock the set, the set has 1 or 2 lines of ''potential'' which u can apply to your codex. You can't cube this potential. The crusader codex should be somewhere on your keyboard, if not you can look it up at your keyboard settings in-game.

Furhtermore, there are a lot of new bosses and options. A ton of new classes, which are all very strong compared to the old explorers. The hyper skills did make the explorers a little bit better though, especially the marksmen. You just have to explore the new things yourself, and Welcome Back!
