Docking Schedule and Products

Docking Time is 3 Days

The support ship will dock at the Base Camp for 3 days. They will disappear from the camp after 3 days, but will return to Base Camp 3 days later. Keep in mind that support ships will repeatedly stay and depart over time. The purchase list for support ship supplies will change each time you visit.

Products are Updated Over Time

The purchase list changes every time a support ship arrives. You can change the product list by resting at the camp to pass time. If you want to update the product list by resting, you will need to rest 6 times which requires 1,800 Guild Points.

Specify Any Time of the Day

When you want to rest to update the products, it doesn't matter what time you take the break. Even if you take a break from morning to noon, one session of time will pass, so you can take a break without worrying about the time.

Failing a Quest Counts as 1 Day

If you don't want to use Guild Points, you can advance the time by one day by failing a quest. However, it takes time because you need to die three times to advance one day. You can slightly speed this up by choosing a quest in the Ruins of Wysteria, which takes less time to travel. Note that returning from a quest does not progress time.
