List of Mid-Game Goals
- Raise Hunter Level and Clear Ch.3
- Raise Tycoon Level and Use Stamina
- Optimize Character Lineup
Raise Hunter Level and Clear Ch.3
Once you're in the mid-game, prioritize completing Chapter 3: Deal? Deal! to unlock additional gameplay content. As this has a requirement of Hunter Level 14, spend your Character Pixels and explore Hethereau City!
Raise Tycoon Level and Use Stamina
After unlocking Hethereau Hobbies, use City Stamina to earn Fons (money). Since the max Stamina and available content expand as you raise your Tycoon Level, we recommend spending your Stamina while progressing through the tutorial quests.
Optimize Character Lineup
Use the Annulith obtained from quests, events, and exploration at the Scarborough Fair, then solidify your formation with characters you've obtained and developed. Also, since S-Class Cartridges and Modules cannot be obtained until after Hunter Level 30, there is no need to farm them yet.
How to Unlock Content
Clear Main Story Chapter 3: Deal? Deal!
After finishing Chapter 1, unlocking Daily Quests, and various Stamina-related content, aim to complete Chapter 3. Note that Hunter Level 14 is a pre-requisite for starting the quest. Since this is relatively low, so you can easily reach it by doing your dailies and exploring.

Complete Quests and Commissions
While exploring the Hethereau City, you can earn Hunter EXP by completing Side Quests, Spinoff Quests, and Anomaly Commissions. If you are still short of what's needed for the main story, clear various quests to make up the difference. Also, try collecting Oracle Stones as you explore the city for maximum efficiency.

Unlock Weekly Boss and Auctions
Clearing Chapter 3 unlocks the Auction in the New Herland District and the weekly boss The Never-ending Arachne. At the Auction, you can bid on items, and you can also obtain valuable items such as the Gluttonous Eye, which lets you earn Fons every week.

Don't Rush from Day 1
You can get to Chapter 3 quickly by exploring and completing quests, but since what gets unlocked is a weekly task, there is no need to rush on day one. Just remember to unlock the content before the weekly reset.
Next Chapter Unlocks Much Later
Chapter 4 unlocks at Hunter Level 24. It can be difficult to reach that Hunter level through exploration alone, so steadily increase your level while completing your dailies.
Purchase the Novis ST-X 950
The Electric Scooter obtained at the start of the game has a lacking speed of 40km/s. Visit the Regalia Vehicle Dealership and purchase the Novis ST-X950, a Motorcycle capable of going 80km/s worth 250,000 Fons, to make traveling more comfortable.
Regalia
Vehicle Dealership Location
The Regalia Vehicle Dealership is located in the New Herland District, to the right of Eibon, across the Iris Bridge.
Unlock More Hethereau Hobbies
Complete Objectives and Earn Fons
The requirements per Tycoon Level can be viewed by pressing Level Up
in City Tycoon Menu. Level-up by earning Fons and completing Quest Objectives. The goals appear as tutorials under Quests, so be sure to complete them as they appear.
Prioritize "The Cafe by Origen"
The Cafe by Origen unlocked at Tycoon Level 4, is content where you manage and decorate cafes to earn Fons. Since revenue increases as real time passes, and the shop grows the more you earn, unlocking and expanding it early is most efficient.
Earn Fons with City Stamina and Safes
You can earn Fons by spending your weekly City Stamina, using the Properties Anomaly Zone: Realm of Greed, and unlocking Safes in the open-world. Safes in particular are one-time only but yield a large amount of Fons, making them highly recommended for earning Fons toward your Tycoon Level.
Unlock Heists at Tycoon Level 10
Reaching Tycoon Level 10 unlocks the Pink Paws Heist Heathreau Hobby, which nets you a large amount of Fons without consuming City Stamina. Once it's available, you'll be able to collect Fons even more efficiently.
Best Uses for City Stamina
Fishing is Recommended for Fons
For City Stamina usage, we recommend the Sea Angler (Fishing) Hethereau Hobby. Unlocked at Tycoon Level 3, players can fish at any of the designated fishing spots. You can sell your catch directly from the Fish Hold
, which consumes City Stamina, earns Fons, and also awards Scale Coins
which can be used to purchase additional items.
Fishing Mastery Guide Fishing Locations
Location of the Fish Hold
The Fish Hold is accessed from the Sea Angler Menu and then pressing on the second tab.
Auto Mahjong Also Recommended
If you want to AFK farm, we recommend trying Auto
Mahjong with NPCs. While it takes time to spend Stamina each round, you can finish spend City Stamina simply by selecting the auto Settings for each match.

How to Auto Mahjong

Since playing AFK may inconvenience other players, be sure to invite NPCs to play with.
Spend Extra Time Racing
Whenever you have the time to spare, we recommend working through the Challenge Races one at a time. It may take some time, but you can also earn Annulith as an additional reward.
Racing Guide - Best Cars and Teams
Owner's Selection is Recommended
When you purchase up to the 2nd branch of The Cafe by Origen,
you can play Owner's Selection. The 2nd branch unlocks after you raise your Management Level to 5.
Also, you can earn Annulith as a reward for achieving goals. Furthermore, characters like Nanally or Baicang make it easier to clear levels with their Life Skills.

is located in Illusion Town, upper-left of Eibon.
Mid-Game Character Building
Decide on Your Formation
Use the Annulith and Dice you have obtained to build a team with good synergy based on the S-Class characters you were able to pull. Note that non-meta
characters can also clear content just fine, so feel free to play as your favourite characters!
Best Team Builds and Compositions
Free S-Class Characters
You can choose an S-Class character from the Standard Board, Strange Encounters
, after pulling the 50 times. Even if you were unable to obtain an S-Class character throughout the early game, you can still get one powerful S-Class character, so we recommend choosing a character with team building in mind.
| Point! | If started playing during Ver.1.0, you can obtain an additional character from a limited-time distribution. |
Best Free S-Class Characters to Pick
Enhance Attackers and Their Arcs
Once you've decided on your Formation, focus on levels for your main attackers and strengthening their Arcs. If you have materials to spare, we recommend strengthening your supports and upgrade their skills.
Obtain and Develop S-Class Arcs
S-Class Arcs can be obtained for free through exploration, Anomaly Commissions, and more. For Arc development, prioritize developing S-Class Arcs that synergize with your characters.
How to Get S-Class Arcs (Weapons) for Free
Don't Farm Cartridges and Modules Yet
S-Class Cartridges are obtained in the Rabbit Hole Difficulty III, which unlocks after Hunter Level 30. Therefore, don't start farming until you've achieved Hunter Level 30.
Use What You Already Have
It's completely fine to equip and enhance the Cartridges and Modules you already own. Even ones you no longer use can be fully refunded as base materials by disassembling them.
| Point! | Using upgraded Consoles/Modules directly as materials will cause a slight loss of EXP, so be sure to disassemble them into materials first. |
