Quests, Renown, and New Game+
Navigating the world of Fire Emblem: Three Houses involves more than just progressing through the main story. Quests, Renown, and the New Game+ feature offer crucial ways to enhance your experience, strengthen your units, and unlock new content. Understanding these systems is key to maximizing your potential on the battlefield and in the monastery.
Throughout your time at Garreg Mach Monastery and during your travels, you'll encounter various quests. These range from simple fetch quests to more complex tasks that involve defeating specific enemies or exploring certain areas. Completing quests rewards you with items, gold, and, most importantly, Renown. Renown is a vital resource that contributes to your overall profile and unlocks various benefits, such as access to new classes, improved training facilities, and even special dialogue options.
Quests
Quests are typically found in the monastery's quest board or given by NPCs. They are often tied to specific activities like fishing, gardening, or helping out students. Some quests are time-sensitive and only available during certain months or after specific story events. Always check the quest board at the start of each month to see what opportunities are available. Completing optional quests can provide valuable resources and experience that might otherwise be missed.
Renown
Renown is a measure of your accomplishments and influence. It is earned through various actions: completing quests, winning battles, achieving high ranks in activities, and recruiting students from other houses. As your Renown increases, you unlock:
- New Classes: Access to advanced and unique classes for your students.
- Improved Facilities: Upgrades to the monastery's facilities, such as the Greenhouse, Stables, and Training Grounds, offering better rewards and efficiency.
- Special Items: Unique items and equipment that can be purchased from the shop.
- Banners: Special banners that can be displayed in the monastery, providing passive bonuses.
Accumulating Renown is essential for unlocking the full potential of your monastery and your units. Prioritize completing quests and engaging in activities that yield the most Renown.
New Game+
Once you have completed a full playthrough of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, you unlock New Game+. This feature allows you to start a new game while carrying over certain elements from your previous save file. This significantly eases the early game and allows you to focus on different strategies, character builds, or story paths.
In New Game+, you can carry over:
- Professor Level: Your Professor Level carries over, granting you more activity points and stronger support abilities from the start.
- Skills: Certain learned skills can be carried over.
- Battalions: Some battalions can be retained.
- Key Items: Certain important items and relics.
- Metascore: Your overall score from the previous playthrough.
New Game+ also introduces new items that can be purchased with accumulated Metascore, such as stat boosters and unique accessories. It's the perfect way to explore different routes, recruit different characters, and achieve higher completion rates.
