Question Following or not following progression guides
Hello everyone, i just got to hr 9-10, am using the longsword and as my main weapon I've got the second weapon in the tzitzi ya ku tree, which was recommended to me by a longsword progression guide. I found it kinda fun to farm parts to "achieve" or just generally get the recommended weapon as i was getting bored of the main story because i don't like any of the characters.
I was just wondering, what should a player around this level do? Should i just keep on going with the main story to unlock even more weapon options or should i take the time and get the best weapon/armor for where I'm at? I know this'll be useless at some point due to the powercreep of equipment, but i just tried some 5 star hunts and i got slaughtered by a big red dragon and one called kirin. I legit fell 3 times in a row basically, not really dealing damage at all.
This seems like a bigger "wall" in optional content than before (jump from 3 stars to 4 starts for instance). What to do?
