The Mana Village on Illusia Isle serves as your central hub throughout the game. You'll return here after every mission to rest, resupply, and advance the storyline. Key locations and services within the village include:
- Moti's House: Located in the top right corner, Moti, the mayor, provides main story missions.
- Silver Mermaid: The town's mall, where Seamoon can offer game information. Pete and Nana also wander here; Nana can change your accompanying spirit later in the game.
- Golden Goods: Run by Millionaire, this is where you buy and sell weapons, accessories, and recovery items. You can also purchase larger knapsacks here to increase your item carrying capacity (Basic: 12 items for 2500L, Large: 18 items for 10000L, Jumbo: 24 items for 30000L). Remember, items sell for only a tenth of their purchase price.
- Bomb Bros R&D: Operated by the Bomb Brothers, this shop allows you to buy, sell, and fuse gems. Gems sell for a fifth of their purchase price.
- Dud Services: Managed by Dudbears, this is your source for side quests. You can only take one quest at a time and must pay a service fee. Rewards increase as you progress through the main story. New job sets appear after completing a current job or a main mission.
- Mana Stone: A significant landmark, often associated with Tess and later game content.
Regularly visit these locations to prepare for your next adventure, manage your inventory, and take on optional challenges.
