Beginner does give a lot of bp back and it’s a good option for collecting runes if you’re short on time to properly play. But you do miss some passes compared to playing at the higher levels.

I mostly play beginner for runes on my alt before the second rune boss and only do extreme during rune time. That account usually ends up somewhat outside of top 500 if only using the ancient crystals; it tends to need an extra crystal or two if I want to top 500.

In comparison, on my main where I normally only play extreme after unlocking it, I usually get top 300 with only the ancient crystals.
