Depends on your own plans and where you are from. Fonsine has more NA community. Asota more EU. So you can find yourself a guild before starting in global, but not sure how gatekept Fonsine is, as I heard it's kind of only end game PvP and a new player might have a hard time getting something there, but at the same time Fonsine is more alive now after server transfers, we hoping for server Merge on Asota soon.
Nothing special, Staff and Dagger from paola chest, x2 reaper, other stuff for health. Juwels just something with stats to get stat bonuses. I go 60 perception now 30 str and rest what ever.
