I'm close to 2.7k gear score and still haven't done hardmode because I'm too scared. So if any EU players want to do HM Krao or Drauq and need a cleric, feel free to poke 🫶🏼
How I got it:
I checked the black market every hour on all 4 characters and spent a lot of Kina on it. I ran a lot of dungeons and salvaged the gear. Shop outfits count towards the achievement too. I also bought some skins on the market that was cheap.
