Well, I've picked up Vindictus again to give it another shot, and I'm just wondering if there's anything I should know, especially for my level. Recently re-joined on the west-coast server. Picked up a Kai and right now he's lvl 66. But, is there anything I should know in getting into the game? Despite my level (it seems incredibly easy to level up), I don't know much, and was wondering if there's just anything I should know that you wish you knew when you were a scrub?
Thanks.
Edit: In case you were going to give any missions to recommend for money or something here's my stats.
Around 10k attack
Around 5k defense
4.5k health.

Most bosses have attack caps of 10'000 attack above their defense. If a boss has 8000 defense, the attack cap is 18000, and anymore attack after 18000 will not make any difference, with the acception of additional damage on weapon upgrades.
I also suggest spamming contact hardmode in Rocheste. The mission yields around 115k exp on Season of Macha, and has a minimum AP reward of 20. The rewards are good to, gray officer uniforms sell for 50k+, and you get the occasional empowered enhancement stones. You can also mine for superior iron ores, which are important to.

I am a Bow Kai, I heavily prefer Bow.
So far I've just been grinding Twilight Desert for mats for my Nighthawk Bow, and Two Moons on Hero for Impending Enchants to sell for 4m a pop, which seems like decent cash.
What might I want to build gear wise? What path should I head down?

Gearwise:
Level 60s - gears don't really matter, but I highly recommend that you surpass this level range and hit 70, so you can start equiping lvl70 gears
Level 70s - I recommend you to invest your money on level 70 gears because:
a)Level 80 gears are extremely expensive
b)Getting to level 80 takes a long time (took me about 3 weeks from 70 to 80)
c)A lot of level 70~80 dungeons/raid party has "Attack Limit" -- if the boat says 16k+, they are only looking for people with 16,000 att or higher.
Also there are 3 types of armors in Vindictus (disregarding cloth):
-Light Armor (low DEF, but allows you to enchant damage-enhancing stuffs)
-Heavy Armor (medium DEF, allows you to enchant'cheap and cost-efficient DEF enhancing stuffs)
-Plate Armor (high DEF, allows you to enchant DEF enhancing stuffs, generally expensive)
Kai isn't really close-combat class so you don't need to grind for extra DEF but I highly recommend using plate/heavy armors if you are new to this game.
Some good plate armors that are cost-efficient are:
-Nighthawk Tunic
-Nighthawk Pants
-Nighthawk Helmet (Heavy, not Plate)
-Apocryphal Boots
-Apocryphal Gloves
-Apocryphal Helmet
For me, I've used 2 Nighthawk Tunic/Pants & 3 Apocryphal Helm/Gloves/Boots when I was in level 70s and I have been using them long after I've reached capped level.
Weapons... sadly I don't know much about bow kai weapons but Nighthawk/Thunderclap seems to be popular.
Also you have to enhance your weapon to reach certain Attack Limit. I would go between +8 to +10.
Enchants
Prefix:
-Twinkling
-Impending
-Explosive
Suffix:
-Valor
-Maelstrom
Hope this answers your question!
