What to do first
AFTER THE STORY

The story ended. Your next five steps.

Start with unused points and missed field rewards, then repeat a dungeon for an upgrade you can name.

Global item references and KR field guides are labeled separately. Match the rewards and unlocks shown by your server.

  1. Use the points you already earned

    Use Wisdom Stones and Daevanion Crystals in your inventory. Spend skill points on frequently used skills, equip available specializations, and invest board points in useful nodes.

    What changes Check the skill level, equipped specialization and board node after investing.

  2. Clear missed field growth rewards

    Inspect the name behind a map question mark. Identify a quest, Sealed Dungeon or another activity. Clear nearby unfinished Sealed Dungeons and claim the listed reward. Use any Wisdom Stones or Daevanion Crystals you receive; these feed separate point systems.

    What changes Claiming and using a clear reward completes the growth loop.

  3. Collect feathers, then return to the Monolith

    Turn feather-shaped traces in at the Monolith, claim the matching scrolls and enhance your Revelation Amulet. The Oct 11 Global guide says feathers no longer grant skill points. The older KR article below is a location reference; check current regional rewards.

    What changes Finish the collection, turn-in, item-use and equipment steps together.

  4. Finish a named accessory goal

    The KR field guide links Garrison rewards to Noble Belt scrolls and Manastones. If present in your client, use them for the matching accessory or useful option. Compare the item before and after, and collect materials for a specific upgrade.

    What changes Skill and board growth, accessory growth and new gear are separate paths.

  5. Choose a reward-bearing run, then move up

    Choose an unlocked activity with an upgrade you need. Expedition supplies equipment; Transcendence adds Arcana. Duty or other unlocked activities fund upgrades. Check reward counters and required Od Energy before repeated clears.

    What changes After an upgrade, revisit entry requirements and how consistently you clear.

First-clear rewards and repeatable farming

Finish / claim completion rewards

Unfinished field objectives, feathers and rewards already in your inventory. A completed objective does not become another first-clear reward just by repeating it.

Repeat for an available useful reward

An unlocked dungeon, Duty or another activity with a needed reward. Check its reward count, complete one upgrade, then review the next target.

Follow the full loop: earn → claim → use → invest/equip → try the next challenge.

Choose the next upgrade by what is blocking you

After the initial progression, entry requirements, execution and equipment efficiency become separate decisions.

Three checks before further investment

What does it solve?

Name the goal: access to a run, surviving a hit, landing attacks or dealing more damage. Compare options against that goal.

How soon will it be replaced?

Consider the next item you are pursuing alongside enhancement costs and available resources.

Can you compare the result?

Keep the activity and conditions similar. Changing one element at a time makes the effect easier to interpret.

Party preparation

  • Confirm difficulty, entry requirements, rewards and available entries.
  • Identify assigned positions and the mechanic each member must handle.
  • If the encounter has a stagger check, coordinate the timing of relevant skills.
  • Match the group’s first-run or experienced-run expectations.
