You shouldn't focus on spending money just yet, before you have an understanding of game mechanics - you won't be able to use it effectively. I strongly suggest not spending on lucky bags or anything else, and also - hoard all the SW & DN you get, instead of burning precious stocks on piddly daemons (that you think are useful now). Wait till you can strategically use them later to get 5*s. I am assuming ofc. that you are in for the long haul and not planning to quit in a month, if the latter then feel free to use up all items.

@Kiraka: You should really consolidate your long descriptive posts into a blog post (click on your name - there is a 'Blog' tab on the user page). That way, you can then paste the link whenever you are helping other newbies too. Good job helping others so soon after joining yourself :-)

Re. your description that Geronimo is a scary leader because he's 4* - not really, I will explain why later once I have time to type up more detailed explanation. But he isn't too bad as a stopgap till you acquire other daemons.

@Mira: Sorry to hear about losing that WW, fusing them to high skill level is a huge pain. Luckily, WW is one of the daemons you can max out really easily - but take this as a good lesson. For those daemons you plan to keep, go into Details and check the mark next to 'Do Not Use as Mixer' ... that will prevent you from either selling or fusing them by mistake. Do it now for Blue Angel, 1 WW (because the others should be fused to max his skill level), and Hare of Inaba (& any others you wish to keep). If you later decide to sell them, you can easily untick the checkbox, it is only for preventing accidents.

You might have to give up on Fabre if its hard to retain his SS, since you are completely new and haven't even maxed your daemons so far. Don't worry, there will be other daemons you can get in future! For now you should be focused on understanding game mechanics more than going after any individual daemon imho.

If the two of you haven't got tired reading the wall of text above, you can read Soul Gem with a low level account to see my account of farming in SG events (as a newbie).

I'll try to write up a post for newbies to explain more about my suggested approach to the game, but I'm basically a lazy person so it may take some time, sorry :( Will post a link here if I get around to do so.
