Progression

Early Game

Once you completed the tutorial and, if you've rerolled, are satisfied with your characters, it's time to start progressing through the game. The majority of content is still locked when beating the tutorial, and is unlocked through beating certain story chapters:

• Clearing Chapter 1 unlocks most of the options in the Upgrade page, with the exception of the Weapons and Crafting page.
• The Castle Grounds and Dragon's Roost options are also unlocked after clearing Chapter 1.
• The Event and Co-op menus will be unlocked after clearing Chapter 2: 2-1.
• Weapons and Crafting will be unlocked after clearing Chapter 2.
• The Dragon Trial quests are accessible after clearing Chapter 3.
• Imperial Onslaught unlocks after clearing Chapter 6.

Since all these things are essential in progressing through the game, clearing the story should be you main priority.

To do this, you'll have to set up a party, preferably consisting of 4 adventurers. It's adviced to have multiple elements in your first party for clearing through the story, as there is an elemental advantage and disadvantage system in this game which does affect your combat performance quite heavily. Once you've settled on which members to use, you can equip them with weapons, wyrmprints and dragons.

As you progress through the story, you'll find that the enemies get increasingly difficult. Should you fail a level, any stamina and/or getherwings used will be refunded. If you can't seem to progress past a certain level, you can try to upgrade your adventurers, or look for help in co-op.

While progressing, don't forget to upgrade your Castle Grounds.

Upon clearing the final battle in Chapter 6, you'll have access to all the important farm quests.

Midgame

Once you've cleared the story, you should have a party that's generally around level 25~30. Your next goal is to increase your Might stat of your party. The reason for this, is that the quest difficulties in this stage are locked behind certain Might thresholds, with higher difficulties giving significantly better rewards. You can view your party's total might in the Team menu.

To increase your might you can do a number of things. Since there are a lot of different things that increase your might, it can be easy to lose track of what you're supposed to farm in order to increase your score.

1. Mana Circle. The Mana Circle is the best way to increase your might, as each node will increase your adventurer's might by a value ranging from 10 to ~100. You can view each Adventurer's Mana Circle requirements by tapping the node you want to unlock.
2. Crafting and Enhancing weapons. Making new and better weapons for your Adventurers to wield is another big contributor to immproving your might. Keep in mind that upgrading your smithy unlocks better weapons to craft and enhance.
3. Leveling units. You can level your units by using them on quests or spending crystals on them. If you want to go all out, unlock your Main Character's 3rd passive. It gives a 10% boost to EXP increased for the entire party. This also works in coop even if he's not your leader, so long as he is in your party.
4. Lastly, leveling Wyrmprints and Dragons. Although important, they give comparatively less might per level than leveling adventurers.

As such, running quests that obtain the materials neccesary for upgrading Mana Circle and Crafting/Enhancing should be prioritized.

Daily Bonus

Each event quest has bonus rewards for the first 2 or 3 runs per day. Make sure to do all of them even if you are focusing your farming on a specific quest.
