You have to play smart man...i was 24k level 80-81 before I really started paying attention on everything...lost 4 months of not doing SA and that will always will keep me back against my level 95 and BP 83k players...im close to rank 6 but people my BP have that already. See the events keep everything for rebates abd stuff go for power not ninjas...the ninjas will come by them selves..im not f2p I pay for some stuff but far from p2w and got 111 ninjas so far. Go for power trust me..when u reach 32k see what tools will u need also use ur purple stones from ultimate tranining wisely they give power. Save coupon for the lucky board cause ur at that level that lucky board can give u a huge boost in power...i just finished with medium refines so wont spend on the lucky board that much but u should those packs gave me maybe 20 level 5 magatama which for u will be huge ppwer boost on top of the medium refines and charms. Hope this helps and btw dont purify..collect at least 200-300 then see what can u do...main goal initiative.
