If you're anything like me, say goodbye to your life for at least a week!
Well, I wouldn't say "chapter" since you can opt to ignore the main story for a good while (but you'll need to proceed with it if you want a Skell).
If you go to Noctilum, I recommend being about level 12, and if you swim to Sylvalum I'd say be at about level 20. Some of the higher level monsters will either ignore you, or you can navigate around them with relative ease. Otherwise, the story or other side missions will direct you to go to one place or another anyway.
I believe Oblivia is also relatively easy to get around at level 12, at least certain areas.
Incidentally, the gathering quest for the license is the one I had done first. By accident. I must have been searching for something else and just happened to have what I needed, haha.Got my Skell license today! I had exactly 24 hours of play time when I got it if anyone was wondering.
The 5th(?) license test was dumb. Swimming in a giant lake for half an hour just to get some material? Nuh uh uh! Not when that's supposed to be the place where they're the most likely to spawn!
im real bad at this game
It affects what bonuses you get as far as what helps you level faster, but it won't restrict you to just doing the tasks of your respective division. I believe it also affects what multiplayer bonuses you get, since there are division rewards.Why does it matter what division I choose?
I've put a ton of hours into this game and absolutely love it. I've got all my favorite characters to 60 and am currently saving up credits for a lv 50 skell (I think I have like 2.5 of the 5 or so million credits I need)
I can't wait to get the ares 90 so I can start farming for solid lv 60 gear for the endgame
