Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Register at the guild and create at least one explorer (a full party of 5 is recommended).
  2. 2
    Go to the court and talk to the Count.
  3. 3
    Accept the first mission from the Count.
  4. 4
    Enter the first minor dungeon, Old Forest Mine.

    Materials: Slate, Iridescent Ore.
  8. 8
    Treasure: Medica A-3.
  9. 9
    Avoid or run from the Nomad Baboons (FOE's) in the mine; they patrol a set route and can be avoided by observing their patterns.
  10. 10
    Be aware that FOE's can attack during random encounters or if you attempt to gather when they are nearby.
  11. 11
    Optional Quest: A man named Whirlwind offers to check your map. To complete this, fill in all floor tiles and pencil in all walls on your map. Show Whirlwind your completed map before reporting back to the Count.
  12. 12
    Main Objective: Obtain ore from the mining point (glowing spot) at A-2. This ore is rare and may require multiple attempts. Rest at the inn for 1 day to resupply the mining spot.
  13. 13
    Once you have at least one piece of ore, return to the Count and report your success.
  14. 14
    With your new Skyship, you can now explore the surrounding outdoors.
  15. 15
    Optional Dungeons: Fly west of the Lush Woodlands to find the Small Orchard. Drop plant-type food to distract FOE's guarding the northwest minor dungeon, Valley Spring.
  16. 16
    Story Progression: To proceed, begin exploring the Lush Woodlands major dungeon.
Tips
  • A good starting party composition is Fortress, Landsknect, Dancer, Medic, Runemaster (F,L,D,M,R). This party is suitable for the main story but not optimal for post-game content.
  • To level up quickly, complete the Scarlet Pillars request "Small flowers needed!" to obtain the Holy Gift burst skill, which boosts experience gain. Use Holy Gift when fighting rare-breed FOE's.
  • Rare-breed enemies can appear by chance, similar to random encounter enemies. Cooking certain foods can increase the likelihood of rare-breed enemies appearing. You can also feed specific food to an outdoor FOE to make it a rare-breed (e.g., feeding Gold Stinkhorns to sheep in Scarlet Pillars). Different FOE's require different foods.
  • Gathering spots (Take/Chop/Mine) replenish after 1 day of rest at the inn.
  • FOE's typically revive after 7 days, with some reviving after only 1 day.
  • Shortcuts are hidden passages in walls, often indicated by colored flowers.
  • Minor Dungeons are small, single-floor dungeons, some required for the story, others optional.
  • Major Dungeons are large, 3-floor dungeons essential for story progression.
  • Successful completion of the first mission and delivery of ore leads to obtaining a Skyship, enabling further exploration.
  • Completing the "Small flowers needed!" request grants the Holy Gift burst skill.
