OK, so you want to rank for the reason that most Era players are now. Thanks.
It might be too late if all you want to do is AV and you want R14 specifically. That’s because the meta might shift. You are probably fine if you’re willing to be adaptable if it does.
The first caps are very low, like 33.5k, 110k etc. So you might as well just do that and take it from there.
