Easier to blanket-deny everything than to set up specific exceptions. See: Belgian players circa two-ish months ago when they, on reboot, lost the ability to buy cubes and circulators. With mesos.
More than likely this. Too much extra effort to either give us just cosmetics (which doesn’t make sense to me cause it’s just more money in their pocket), or to give us Marvel Machine for an insane amount of mesos (100bil for one roll?).
Oh, I forgot to add. Make sure you’re doing Commerci and Gollux daily. Sweetwater gear isn’t as good as it used to be, but it’s a great way to bridge the gap for AbsoLab and Chaos Root Abyss gear. Superior Gollux Accessory set is also an endgame set, so once you get those you’re set.
EDIT: Probably better to just link this video for a full, comprehensive guide to gearing on Reboot.
Not sure how hard you actually looked but one quick Google search and I found this Ark skill build. AyumiLove has builds for all, if not most, of the classes in the game.
As far as increasing your range, you may want to look at taking a break from your Ark and getting link skills. AyumiLove also has a Link Skill guide here
What gear do you have as well? If you burned your Ark you should have access to the Frozen set, which gives you some pretty awesome gear for that stage of the game. Otherwise, at 200k range, you could start with trying to get boss gear (Black Metal Shoulder, Pink Bean Cup, Chaos Horntail Necklace) for some range. Get the treasure set (Hayato, Kanna, Ayame shoulder, ring, and belt respectively). Do Yu Garden dailies for 50% Epic Potential scrolls for your gear, as well as a chance for 30 day totems that are BiS outside of event totems, and make sure you’re actively starring and flaming (green bonus stats on your gear) as much as you can.
Aim for 11 ~ 12 stars on as many items as you can, and aim for 4% all stat on your flames. For potentials, aim for Epic potentials with 6% attack preferably, but 6% main stat is fine too.
I’m not the best mapler in the world, so take some of this with a grain of salt, but going off what other people have told me and what I’ve been doing to boost my range, this advice took me from about 400k ~ 500k range to 900k ~ 1mil range.
