Character Update
Purple Heart: The guardian Goddess of Planeptune, which once flourished as the city of the future. One of four Goddesses, she was the center of them all, but because of the coup carried out by Filyn and her Bombyx Mori, she lost her powers, and went missing.
Black Heart: The guardian Goddess of Lastation, which once flourished as an industrial city. She is one of four Goddesses. Within the four, she was the most hard-working one, but she was defeated in the battle with Filyn, and went missing.
White Heart: The guardian Goddess of Lowee, which once flourished as a magical kingdom. She is one of four Goddesses. She was said to have the highest defense, but it was broken by Filyn, and she was defeated. She went missing afterwards.
Green Heart: The guardian Goddess of Leanbox, which once flourished as a nation abundant in nature. She is one of four Goddesses. Her overflowing love for games did not reach Filyn, whom she ended up battling, and subsequently lost to. She went missing afterwards.
Histoire: It is rather thick. There is unreadable text written inside. It occasionally glows, as if it may have emotions.
Magic Stones, Quests, and Hunts
Magic Stones • Magic Stone Switches: Throughout the game, players will find various switches in cities and dungeons. Examine a stone switch to activate a challenge and collect Magic Stones by touching them. Collecting all the Magic Stones within the time limit will clear the challenge and they can be repeated if a player fails to collect all the Magic Stones. Players can use the Magic Stones as in-game currency to purchase more items!
Quests: NPCs within cities and dungeons can provide quests with beneficial rewards. There are two types of quests: Extermination or Collect/Deliver. Defeat a certain amount of enemies or collect a certain amount of items and deliver it back to the NPC for your rewards. Note that players cannot decline a quest once accepted.
Hunt Quests: Each city has a Guild where players can accept Hunt Quests from them. By accepting a Hunt Quest, a target monster will appear within a specific dungeon. Depending on the target monster, there are times when they can hide in an area not displayed on the dungeon map. Each Hunt Quest has a recommended level ranging from Lv 5 - 100, but players can challenge themselves without regard for the levels. Defeat the target monster for experience points and item drops!
