User blog comment:NovaSolaris/How do you get UR if you are a free user?/@comment-113.23.52.89-20140617141905

The most reliable way to get UR besides summoning is ranking.

You don't really need to be online 24/7 as someone said below, I and some of my comrades only need about 3 hours a day to get in top 500, and 5-6 hours for top 300. The only problems are to find good traders/senders, deal a lot of damage to faws in a short time. I believe that there already are some blogs dealing with these problems in the wiki.

I also have been playing since February, and got my first UR (Linus) from ranking. At that time, I just became an AWK(got OA and finished maxing her stats), slacked off for about half of the event, and decided to rush for top 500 in the last few days but I still managed to do it. So ranking isn't that scary as many people think.

btw, besides ranking, you can also try your luck on box summoning, it has a better chance to obtain UR than other kind of summoning.
