Welcome back to our Safehouse series! Today, we’ll be diving into the dispatch center. Not sure what we’re talking about? Be sure to check out our General entry, the Character Creator & the Kitchen entry and the Crafting and Improving Items entry.
General Information
The dispatch center offers three types of missions: trading, training and delivery. Missions refresh every 24 hours – any missions that are currently in progress, waiting to be completed or missions that were cancelled will not be replaced during that time. You can upgrade the room to speed up the time it takes for missions to complete or increase the number of available missions, among other expansions.
All missions are carried out within the Safehouse and not the game world, meaning there is no risk of your character dying while completing them.
Trade Missions
Initially, you’ll have access to 7 trade missions, allowing you to trade up to 25% of a raw material stored in your Safehouse. By expanding the room, you can increase this single trade limit. Trade missions let you exchange one type of raw material for another, with the exchange rate randomly set between 50% and 95%. The greater the quantity of materials traded, the longer the mission will take to complete.
Training Missions
Initially, you’ll have access to 7 training missions, designed to help you train your skills even while offline. If you train profession skills, you’ll also generate some of the raw materials associated with recycling the items usually harvested through that profession skill tree. Each training mission provides a 50% boost based on your current skill level.
For example, if you start a mission for the "Hunting" skill tree and have 20% experience in your current level, completing the mission will increase it to 70% while also rewarding you with chemicals and fabrics as raw materials.
50% extra XP not enough? If you’ve actively trained Hunting by skinning animals in the game world within the last 24 hours, you can accumulate an additional bonus of up to 100% XP for your Hunting training mission. This means you can earn up to 150% XP per mission!
Delivery Missions
Initially, you'll have 5 delivery missions available. These missions allow you to exchange raw materials for Labor. Labor is a new currency in Persist Online and almost everything in the Safehouse will require it as currency.
The exchange rate is variable, meaning the more you deliver of a specific raw material for Labor, the more of this specific raw material you will need in the next delivery. However, if you stop delivering that resource, the exchange rate will adjust to become more favorable again.
We hope this series has provided you with a clear glimpse of what to expect from our Safehouse and insight into what we’ve been working on. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us on Discord or Steam with any feedback or questions!
