Final Tips
For more tips, check Tutorials/Tips and Tricks.
 * With every new Dungeon Floor added, the Skill will become easier to level up. Because of this, it is not recommended to grind Dungeons too much and focus on other things too.
 * Most importantly, those are not rules for how to play the game, simply a very efficient means of getting to End Game. The main purpose of video games is having fun, and if building your Island or experimenting with overpriced Items is something you enjoy, don't stop yourself from doing it. Don't let people bully you because your Skill Average is low or because your networth is 1/2 of theirs, people who take the game too seriously are the last people you should be getting advice from.
