This game sure knows how to be annoying...
Level 201, haven't got the 10 star weapon for the job advancement yet due to still using the Frozen weapon from the last burning event (and not sure if its worth pouring money onto a level 140 weapon when it won't be as good as the Frozen one).
Randomly decide to try Easy Magnus again. Magnus drops a level 90 10 star slot crossbow. So yay, cheap way to meet the requirement.
Shortly later...
"Please go defeat Magnus."

Lol, the free weapon is for only for Tera Burning characters, not non-Burning-past characters.
And hey, if you think the starforce and "10 stars on your weapon" requirements are annoying, wait until you have to fill the three arcane stones with 500m exp and then slog through the vanishing journey questline with 30 arcane force.
10 stars is easy enough to get if you've been saving some mesos since making the character. You can always transfer them to a fafnir later.
Magnus can be fought on easy, and he's a pushover, this shouldn't be a problem either.
Edit: Sorry, brain failed to process. At least you don't have to wait 12 hours for each arcane stone to fill.
I'd still consider yourself lucky to be honest.
This. I have three characters that still don't have their arcane symbol because I don't care enough to slog through that questline solo.
I filled one and a third of the arcane stones pretty quickly. I estimate I could get them all filled in 3 hours if I wanted to rush it.
So I'm guessing the Vanishing Journey questline is super painful then...
It should take roughly 45 minutes minimum if you are capable of killing mobs around your level, and you use the Legion shop or in-game events for additional 2x coupons, not 3 hours.
So yeah, could be done even faster with the right setup.
Right now would also be a good time to start doing daily commerci runs, if you weren't already doing so.
Good luck!
Can I use Arcane Symbol selectors if I haven't completed anything there yet? I've got a pile that will expire shortly (this is as bad as those expiring Nodestones) and I don't know how far I have to get to unlock the VJ one.
If possible, try and find someone who can help you. Their kills contribute to the etc drops you need for each section, and obviously they are able to kill much faster. Especially once you get to Cave of Repose, it becomes reallllly difficult to attack/survive.
If this is any indication of how the rest of the Arcane River is going to be, I'm out.
I burnt through a small pile of Xmas buffs and about 200+ HP pots to get to the Cave of Repose.
Will see if I can find someone to help me, or maybe use a Wilderness Hunter's Buff, or just not bother and let the 10 free Symbols expire, along with my interest in this game...
Welcome to the clash of "solo meta" vs "designed for party play"
Either you get carried, find a party who actually parties, or just grin and bear it.
I am sleep deprived.
That might make it fairly doable.
Does Arcane Power just affect the damage I do, or also the damage I take? I've failed to find clear info about this.
Arcane Force affects both the damage you deal and receive, to a small extent. At high levels of Arcane Force, monsters will deal less damage (as far as I've seen).
Whatever the AF force value is for that map, take half of it, add it to the requirement, and that's the amount needed for a) 1.5x damage against the monsters and b) only take 1 damage from mobs (eg: AF is 80. 80/2 = 40, 80+40=120, so 120 AF will give you full damage boost + 1 damage from mobs).
