Getting Started

Unlock Artificial Island by reaching level 50 and accepting the quest at Banges Port.

To build on the Artificial Island, you will need to be level 60 OR have 50% map completion on Artificial Island (inner region only).

Construction

While on your Home Island, you can construct and upgrade buildings that generate materials over time. These materials are used for three things:

  1. Upgrading buildings to generate more materials*
  2. Currency in the housing shop (Limited Matrix pulls, Avatars, Crimson Meteor..)
  3. Crafting Matrices
*The Development Center must be upgraded to raise the max level of other buildings.

Material Drops

Materials also drop from creatures on your island, including animals, normal mobs, and weakened world bosses. The higher the status of the creature (regular / elite / boss), the more materials will drop from it.

Common enemies respawn every 3 days and bosses every 7 days. The timer starts when enemy is defeated.
All creatures respawn at weekly reset.

Different creatures will drop different materials, but world bosses drop a large amount of all resources at once.
