Do you do any special challenges or conditions on yourself to make things harder or more interesting in SM's, Dungeons, and etc?

For myself, I've been challenging myself to do runs of SM's without armor, using skill sets I'm not used to, limiting myself to basic melee skills, fighting in only Transformation Mastery with a dream catcher, not using any healing methods (the best I can), and using totally clean equips with no sort of boosters and not using titles. What do you do? :)

    If running stuff with clean equips is a challenge, then yep I challenge myself a lot.

    Me, I call it "I'm too lazy to enchant/reforge/upgrade".

    don't like

    i became so lazy on mabi. run everything with step 6 gears. it got to the point where i can hardly bring myself to train skills anymore unless there's a 2x event going on. don't even think about doing anything challenging lol.
    making myself spam conflict sometimes for event but when i did it i waited for someone else to make a party first becuz couldn't be bothered to run back and forth from the mission board as party lead. oh ho...
    the people who do that are MVP

    My current challenge or goal is to beat both Alban Heroic and Rabbie Phantasm while under level 10k.

    I've been ttl 9999 for a year now, and I've finished Alban heroic so far.

    Something I got into doing is refining my fighting tactics using my basic generic set up. So far I can confidently say that in party play I can manage to do phantasm in a party with it, though it keeps me occupied with finding new ways to integrate more skills into my already overloaded hotkeys tab. At this point my generic set up runs on 4 combat talents and I'm still refining what I can add and use in different situations. For those looking to do phantasm solo or even in party, its recommended to follow a set of rules laid out. My basic set of rules are as follows: Ready Divine link before hitting the orb, if that is not an option, mount a pet (prevents the roar from locking it). Clear the Wraiths ASAP, then followed by Magic Succubus. Avoid clustering with pets and party mates, Ice spear and thunder can potentially wipe out the entire party in 1 strike. There other rules but many higher leveled players have a special set they made and follow themselves.

    Training stupidly tedious skills/skillsets for a second time.
    -Gotten windmill to r1 3 times(On tarlach, ruairi and alexina)
    -Mastered Ninja twice(tarlach/ruairi)
    -Gotten Hydra master title twice(tarlach/ruairi)
    -Working on getting Vates hidden talent for a second time.(Very close all I need to do is get r1 raincast which is at r2. AP pls) (tarlach/ruairi)

    Also playing this game with a laptop trackpad. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    It's not impressive but w/e.

    Attempting to enchant my gear, but it fails every time (RIP all my gold).
    Currently on my 19th failure in a row *insert happiness here*

    EDIT: Currently on my 22nd failure in a row.
    Will Astral ever be able to enchant a piece of gear again? The world may never know.

    Trying to get every single piece of clothing in this game.

    It's like pokemon, where I just shove them into a little storage unit and maybe once in a while take them out to air.

    Oh, and max all skills, but that'll happen soon enough... <3

    i challenged myself by using nonupgraded weapons, back then I'd use a wing bow. Also I sometimes don't wear clothes/armor for damage mitigation. I completely forgot that i can actually upg clothes for def/prot....

    dying is annoying and i died too many times to count as a beginner so i just use mana shield.
