You've helped so much, thank you! I think I'll purchase the game when I get home tonight from work. While it does sound grindy and a long term investment of time, it sounds like once you hit a certain point, everyone is kind of pooled together in this grindfest for those +20 pieces.

One last question. I noticed on Steam last night that there were 3 different packages when purchasing the game. One is just the base game, and then there's Traveler's and Explorer's packages. Are either of these worth it for my initial purchase, or should I just purchase the main game and then buy what I need from the cash shop afterwards? I will be a player that purchases the boosts and buffs while I grind but I'm unsure of how all of these different from each other.

I just don't want to miss out on a quality deal if it's available at the start of the game when I purchase it. Or take part in a gimmicky overpriced package.
