what are things I need to upgrade a Beast Fighter?

[robinhood]

...what are all the things I need to upgrade as time goes on? I'm a Beast Fighter.

-Weapons
-Armor
-Photon Arts

Is there anything else? It's just that until now I didn't really realize that I should be equipping more powerful armor, and have been dying really easily. My Force friend is more durable in battle than I am, with less HP, so I was like what the hell? Then I realized I was wearing the standard armor I got at level 1, and I'm level 22.

Also, where do I go to buy new stuff? In Cylez City shops, their best items aren't that great at my level.

That's pretty much all there is to upgrade. Also better armor allows you to equip the armor units to boost your stats further.

EDIT: Player shops should have some good deals, though with so many people at high levels the economy has more of a shift toward high level gear leaving lower end gear scarce and overpriced. The shops on the planets have gear up to A ranks, but before buying anything check both the NPC shops and the Player shops to get the best deal.

For Armor you need to look at the Elemental % it works for you and against you. For Example if it's 32% Light this means that Light Enemies will do less damage to you and Dark Enemies will do that much more. The higher the percent then higher the protection/weakness.

For now I'd upgrade to some b-rank neutral armor with an arm slot. You won't be at lv 22 for long.

During this even he will be at lvl60 in no time with 22 waybehind him. My buddy got his char up to 62 over the first weekend of the event. I would just say live off of drops from the monsters.

Also you might wanna consider what class you want to go to. That usually helps you decide on what weapons and such you really want to look into.

Thanks for the replies guys, that's really helpful.

A few more questions:
1. How can I check player shops? And what are all the most common NPC shops to shop at?
2. How will I know whether my armor equips slots or not?
3. Can I buy cool outfits in the shop and wear them when fighting monsters? Or do I have to just be wearing standard-looking equipment when out fighting?
4. What's the fastest way to level? You're saying your friend got to 60 in a few days, I don't seem to be leveling that quickly =/ I have AOTI, and am level 22, what planet should I go to? Should I solo, or play in group? What missions give the most exp and mission points?

Thanks.

--also, I plan to be Fortefighter.

Alright here gose nothing

1) You can check player shops by going to your computer on the opisite wall of your bed, also there is another spot behind the counter in your shop if you have one.

2)When you are on your armor you can either push RB or RT (Xbox360) and it will shot what slots are aviavable. Not sure what the buttons are on the Computer.

3)If your talking about the Cloths shops where you buy different shirts, pants, and shoes for your character you can always have different looks for that, and you can take them into battle as well.

4)Right now the fastest way to lvl is by going to a high populated universe and doing the event. Go to the third floor of the gardians collonie and the last door on the left to the back (if your running from the 2nd floor to the 3rd floor) it will say event area. Im off lunch now and im sure there are a ton of spelling errors in here but if your on the 360 add my GamerTag (Chaos320) and ill help you out a little bit

1. How can I check player shops? And what are all the most common NPC shops to shop at?
~You use the vision phone in your room to access the menu to check player shops.

2. How will I know whether my armor equips slots or not?
~On the second page of the armor description it will show what slots it has and the elemental %.

3. Can I buy cool outfits in the shop and wear them when fighting monsters? Or do I have to just be wearing standard-looking equipment when out fighting?
~There are clothing shops. On the colony's 3rd floor there is a shop that sells all of the purchasable outfits in 5 colors, while the clothing shops down on the planets have 5 more color variations.

4. What's the fastest way to level? You're saying your friend got to 60 in a few days, I don't seem to be leveling that quickly =/ I have AOTI, and am level 22, what planet should I go to? Should I solo, or play in group? What missions give the most exp and mission points?
~There is currently an event going on. You can get to the event area from the colony's 3rd floor.

Thanks everyone. When does the event end? And when it does, where then should I go to level quickly?
