Is this assessment correct?
From what you read here perhaps that may be
so, but reality and opinion are far from the same
thing. In reality you CAN catch up to the vets
because the stats gain cost and there are curiosities
that are studied in short time for high LP gain such
as empresses, pearls, and other small curios.
if you grind said curios and trade for better equips
then you will arrive on 'equal footing' with them
easily, whatever that is.
