Revamp: Cooking & Gathering
After fishing and archeology, discover two new activities!
Gathering/Harvesting:
- Collection of ingredients is now rewarded.
- A level system for harvesting is now added to the game!
- When harvesting objects in different zones of the game, you get more experience and you unlock a shop located in Navea. This store will offer you various interesting prizes
Cooking:
A new way of creating food is now available!
- Cook with a new mini game to increase your chances of getting orange, purple and gold food.
- A level system for cooking and a new method of cooking is available!
- In using the cooking system, you will obtain experience and unlock another shop located in Navea.
How it works:
First you must buy the recipe in Navea from a Cooking Association NPC (735,393). Clicking it will open the minigame, if you have the necessary ingredients on hand. On the screen, ingredients will appear. If you let the correct ingredients pass the red line, the progress bar will rise. If incorrect ingredients touch the red line, then the bar will drop. Click on the incorrect ingredients to remove them from the recipe. Pay attention because when the progress bar advances, the faster the irrelevant ingredients will fill the screen. How far your progress bar reaches during the game determines if you'll get Orange, Purple, or Gold quality cuisine (and maxing it out will earn you an additional one)!
New: Eidolon Prayer System
New Eidolon area:
When heading to the Eidolon area (Default N Key), the interface will be completely redesigned for a lot of things.
The prayer system for Eidolons is now available!
The system will simply consist of collecting items your Eidolon requests.
They can be demanding and ask for a lot of specific things (like golden food for example).
Note: There are areas that are intentionally empty; text will be added in future updates.
For example, Serif might ask for two pieces of food available in game, but it can also ask for up to four items at the same time. The items harvested for you Eidolon will allow you to obtain a stat bonus defined in the same manner as titles. These bonuses are listed at the bottom left of the window. The items they need are shown under their Star Buffs.
Each quest will have its own dialogue with the chosen Eidolon, and each Eidolon will have several quests to complete before being fully satisfied.
New: 3-Star Eidolons!
