Arcane and Sacred Symbols

Arcane Symbols are Equip items that can be obtained from each of the Arcane River regions, granting bonus stats appropriate for your character's job. Similarly, Sacred Symbols are Equip items that can be obtained from the continental Grandis regions (currently Cernium and Hotel Arcus), and grants bonus stats appropriate for your character's job.

TIPS:

• You cannot grant Bonus Stats or Potential to Arcane or Sacred Symbols.

Arcane and Sacred Symbol Windows

Once you complete the Arcane River entry quest, 'Record of Power', the [SLOT] button on the Equip tab will turn into an [ARCANE] button, where Arcane Symbols can be found. You will also gain access to the Sacred Power window via the [SACRED] button upon completing the Grandis Continent entry quest 'A Divine Power'.

TIPS:

• You cannot equip the same Arcane or Sacred Symbol more than once.

Obtaining Arcane Symbols

Complete the story quests for each region, and then you can obtain Arcane Symbols from that region, as well as through daily quests, region content, or monster hunting. For example, the Vanishing Journey Arcane Symbol can only be obtained by playing Vanishing Journey content.

When you are able to start completing the daily quests of a higher-level Arcane River region, you can reduce the number of daily quests for lower-level Arcane River regions. The amount of possible rewards obtained will remain the same even with reduced daily quests.

Vanishing Journey / Morass

When you complete the higher-level Arcane River regions' daily quests, the number of quests you receive from Rona will be reduced.

Erda Spectrum / Hungry Muto / Dream Defender / Spirit Savior

When you are able to complete the higher-level Arcane River regions' daily quests, you will be given the opportunity to immediately complete Arcane River daily quests. You can obtain rewards based on the highest record you have set that day upon immediate completion.

For example: Characters who have completed the Morass region's story quest and then proceed with the Morass region's daily quests can obtain rewards from all of corresponding region's daily quests, once they clear Vanishing Journey, Hungry Muto, Dream Defender (once), and Spirit Savior (twice).

TIPS:

• You can quickly move to each piece of content through the in-game Maple Guide.
• Even if you have reduced the number of Arcane River region's daily quests, you still must clear them at least once.
• If you had not completed the higher-level Arcane River regions' story quests, you cannot reduce the number of lower-level Arcane River regions' daily quests.

Obtaining Sacred Symbols

Complete the story quests for each region, and then you can obtain Sacred Symbols from the Daily Quests for that region.

• Cernium Daily Mission: The quest "Cernium Research" can be obtained from the Flame Priest in Cernium Square, which allows you to select one of six missions to complete. Rewards Cernium Symbols.
• Burning Cernium Daily Mission: The quest "Nerota's Proposal" can be obtained from the Dawn Priest in Destroyed Cernium Square, which allows you to select one of six missions to complete. Rewards Cernium Symbols.
• Hotel Arcus Daily Mission: The quest "Clean up around Hotel Arcus" can be obtained from Archelon in the Hotel Arcus Saloon, which allows you to select one of six missions to complete. Rewards Hotel Arcus Symbols.

Enhancing Arcane and Sacred Symbols

Double-click on the same type of Arcane or Sacred Symbol from the inventory as one you have equipped in order to level-up the equipped Symbol, absorbing the duplicate symbol. The higher the level of your Symbol, the greater Arcane/Sacred Power and more bonus stats you will gain.

TIPS:

• Arcane Symbols can be leveled-up to Lv. 20.
• Sacred Symbols can be leveled-up to Lv. 11.
• Symbols can only be enhanced when you have one equipped.
• Symbols within the inventory can be safely stored using Item Guard.

Transferring Arcane Symbols

Leveled-up Arcane Symbols can be transferred to other characters within the same world using Arcane Catalysts, which can be purchased from the Legion Coin Shop.

Please note before using Arcane Catalysts:

• Double-click on the Arcane Catalyst to use it on the Arcane Symbol in inventory, and it will change the Arcane Symbol to an unstable state, to be able to move it to other characters within the same world.
• If you use the Arcane Catalyst, you'll lose 20% of the Arcane Symbols used to level it up. Arcane Symbols will also reset to Lv. 1, so they will need to be enhanced again.
• A character must have completed the corresponding Arcane Symbol's obtain quests in order to restore the Unstable Arcane Symbol.
• If the character already has that Arcane Symbol, they will be unable to restore the Unstable Arcane Symbol.
• Once the Unstable Arcane Symbol has been restored, they are converted to the corresponding character job's main stats.
• For example, if a Bowman character restores an Unstable Arcane Symbol (INT), it will be converted to an Arcane Symbol (DEX) that's appropriate for their job.

TIPS:

• Arcane Catalysts cannot be used on a basic Arcane Symbol earned from completing the "A Greater Power" quest.
• Arcane Catalysts cannot be used on Lv. 1 Arcane Symbols.
• Arcane Catalysts cannot be canceled once used. Please be careful before using them!
• Arcane Catalysts cannot be used on Sacred Symbols.

Arcane and Sacred Power Hunting

If you've raised a large enough amount of Arcane Power using Arcane Symbols or Sacred Power with Sacred Symbols, try eliminating monsters in Arcane River to gather more Arcane Power and monsters in Grandis Continent to gather more Sacred Power!

Checking Your Arcane and Sacred Power

Your current character's Arcane and Sacred Power value can be viewed on the Character Stats > Details > Detailed Stats screen.

Enter the Arcane or Sacred Power Hunting Zone, and on the notification window below the mini-map, you can see the Arcane or Sacred Power required to enter the zone, and your own progress there as well. If you're short on the amount of Arcane or Sacred Power needed for the entered region, you will deal reduced damage to the monsters, and take additional damage from them as well.

TIPS:

• Applied damage penalties can be viewed on the Arcane Power and Sacred Power UI.

Arcane and Sacred Power Hunting Zones

All hunting zones in Arcane River consist of Arcane Power hunting zones, and all hunting zones in Grandis Continent consist of Sacred Power hunting zones. Hover over the Hunting Zone icon on the world map to view the required amount of Arcane Power or Sacred Power to hunt.

TIPS:

• There are no hunting zones that require a combination of Star Force, Arcane Power, and Sacred Power.
• Your Arcane and Sacred Power can be viewed on the character stat window.
