Explore the Realm and Embark on an Adventure
Freely explore the vast reaches of Fevrith, resolving all manner of disputes and odd jobs along the way. You will be able to progress further by defeating enemies, liberating towns and utilizing their resources, and bolstering your ranks with your new companions.
Quests
As you explore the map, you will come across different quests.
Quests will open up stages that you can complete to earn rewards.
Some of them may even be whackier than you imagine!
Every event that arises will be registered as a quest. Accomplish them in whatever order you like!
Liberating towns
When you liberate Fevrith’s towns and forts by defeating the Imperial Army in stages, you’ll unlock shops and other facilities, and exploration will become easier as enemies stop patrolling the area.
Rebuilding towns
Towns dilapidated under the Imperial Army’s rule can be rebuilt by delivering materials, which will add useful facilities and features. Rebuilding large towns such as walled cities will add taverns, which will allow you to enjoy a piping hot meal.
Harvesting
You will be able to reap resources from certain regions of Fevrith, from its beaches to its grasslands. The materials you gather can be delivered to towns, among other uses, so be sure to collect them. Harvested resources will replenish as you play stages.
Placing town guards
You will be able to station one of your companions as a town guard in each rebuilt town. While they are stationed, you will gain bonus gold for every stage you clear. Also, if you’ve discovered any harvesting spots around the town in which they are stationed, they will collect the resources for you.
Forts
In forts, you will be able to hold mock battles between the units you’ve organized as well as expand your units to increase the number of members per unit. At most, you will be able to expand up to ten units of five members each.
Honors and renown
Utilizing forts requires honors which serve as symbols of your triumphs. You will need a certain level of renown to unlock a fort’s features. Honors can be gained by clearing stages and delivering materials, while renown can be earned by clearing quests, rebuilding towns, and more. Once your renown grows, you will be able to hire mercenaries from all over Fevrith. Their color palettes can be changed upon hiring.
Encounters
A battle will begin each time you encounter enemy patrols. If you are able to defeat all of the enemies, you will gain experience and honor. Should you suffer defeat during an encounter, you will be sent back to a previously liberated region, so try exercising caution when traveling through areas where your army’s forces may prove insufficient.
Mining Areas
You can pay gold to play a mining game in the mining area. Get ores and other materials by mining continuously for a set amount of time. Perhaps you might even dig up a treasure map here and there!
