Protip: Do not sell or refine common items at first, always wear them if they are above your level and then increase the level you fight with, wear them increase level, repeat.
@loxleyt You play wrong :D. I got first vet item in 7 hours or so and I didn't know which level it was. With full vet items, I can make 100 level in 1 second :D
Hope it's still enjoyable! :D
