Dragon Traveler Game Modes: A Complete Guide to Every Challenge

Welcome, Dragon Traveler, to a comprehensive overview of the various game modes you'll encounter on your journey! Understanding these activities is key to maximizing your progress and earning valuable rewards for your Luminaries.

Core Progression Modes

These modes are fundamental to character growth and resource acquisition.

Wyrmbone Ruins

The Wyrmbone Ruins present a multi-level dungeon challenge where you progress floor by floor, defeating guardian monsters for significant rewards. Elite monsters, empowered by the Ancient Dragon Soul, appear on certain floors, each possessing unique buffs. As you advance, you can activate Dragon God statues to dispatch patrols that gather Dragon Essence, with deeper levels yielding greater quantities.

Trial Realms

Within the Wyrmbone Ruins lie six distinct Trial Realms, each with multiple areas. These realms are faction-specific, requiring a certain number of Luminaries from that faction to participate. You can clear each Trial Realm up to ten times daily. Be aware that every area within a Trial Realm features a unique environmental effect that alters combat dynamics.

Divine Rift

The Divine Rift is your primary source for acquiring Treasures and their crucial upgrade materials. Each cycle of the Rift lasts for two days before your progress resets. Enemies in the Rift scale in strength with your Ringsworn character. A unique mechanic here is that enemy HP persists across battles; you can gradually wear down stronger foes over multiple engagements. Utilize Sacred Fruit Elixirs or event-based recoveries to restore your team's health. Any energy remaining at the end of a battle within a round carries over to the next.

Wonderland Siege

Wonderland Siege offers four distinct stages, each providing vital resources. You receive one free attempt per day for each stage, with additional challenges or sweeps purchasable twice daily using Diamonds.

• Forest Defense & Vault Heist: Challenging higher difficulty levels in these modes does not consume attempts. Forest Defense exclusively uses ranged Luminaries, while Vault Heist is for melee characters only. Clearing a stage unlocks the next, harder difficulty, and you can sweep cleared stages for rewards.
• Wilderness Rally & Slime Showdown: These stages allow one Luminary from each class. Rewards are determined by your strongest Luminary's level and the number of enemies (Lizard Miners for Rally, Slimes for Showdown) you defeat. Sweeping these stages awards you based on your best kill count.

Daily & Weekly Challenges

These modes provide consistent opportunities for growth through rotating or time-gated content.

Valkyrie Trial

Access class-specific challenges presented by the Valkyrie. Each challenge costs Trial Emblems, which regenerate up to a cap of five daily and can be exchanged for Revelation Feathers. From Sunday to Friday, two class trials are available each day, while on Saturdays, all trials are open. Successfully clearing a difficulty level enables sweeping for future attempts, and higher difficulties offer superior rewards, requiring a higher Luminary class level.

Champion Expedition

Spend Veteran Emblems to challenge three distinct boss stages. You receive five Veteran Emblems daily, with options to purchase three more with Diamonds or exchange Adventurer's Guides. One of the three bosses is available each day, rotating sequentially. Each boss has multiple difficulty tiers; conquering one unlocks the next. Higher difficulties yield better rewards, and a first-clear reward is granted for each new difficulty.

Daily Gear Drops

Specific gear types are available on different days:

Day	Gear Type
Monday	Helmets
Tuesday	Armor
Wednesday	Gauntlets
Thursday	Boots
Friday	Weapons
Saturday	Accessories
Sunday	All Slots

Unique Combat & Story Modes

These modes offer distinct gameplay experiences, often with specific rules or narratives.

Rookie Training Camp

Designed for new players, this camp features Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced difficulties, each containing multiple training stages. Some stages may include pre-set teams or special rules. Clearing a stage provides a one-time reward; subsequent replays of cleared stages do not grant additional rewards.

Sacred Flame Trial

This trial is exclusive to Luminaries who have achieved Class Resonance. All participating Luminaries are normalized to class level 800 and equipped with basic Legendary gear (your own superior gear is retained). Only level, stars, gear, class skills, your protagonist's attributes, and Dragon Nest bonuses apply here; all other upgrades are disabled. The trial consists of 25-stage cycles, with unique trial rules for individual stages. Cleared stages cannot be replayed for rewards.

Heart Trials

Heart Trials are crucial for acquiring Affection items and specific Luminary shards. Stages unlock as your Affection level increases and previous stages are cleared. Each challenge consumes an attempt. Clearing a stage often unlocks the sweep function, though not all stages are sweepable. Sweeping also costs an attempt, with a 'Sweep All' option for convenience. Each stage shares one daily attempt between challenges and sweeps.

Shared Progress for Origin Luminaries

Luminaries sharing an origin also share Heart Trial progress. If you own multiple Luminaries from the same origin, you must select whose personal shards you wish to obtain before each challenge or sweep. At Affection Level 20, certain Luminaries' Heart Trial sweeps will consistently drop shards.

Maze

The Maze presents a fog-of-war exploration challenge featuring battle, chest, and mechanism nodes. Tapping a node reveals the surrounding area. Some paths require a specific form to cross. A maze is considered complete once all enemies are defeated and all chests are opened.

• Stage 7+: Teleporters appear; two-way teleporters are reusable, while one-way teleporters send you to a fixed point without return.
• Stage 8+: Ice appears, restricting movement to straight lines without mid-path turns.
• Stage 9+: Line puzzles emerge, requiring you to connect all blocks of the same color.
• Stage 10+: Wind currents are present, preventing movement against them but allowing cliff crossings with their aid.

Phantasia Encounters

Phantasia Encounters grant general upgrade items, enhance your protagonist's four core attributes, and boost idle income. Each chapter contains several encounter quests, unlocked by progressing through specific main story stages. Quests vary, including direct item rewards, mini-games, and monster battles. Each encounter is a one-time quest with fixed content and cannot be replayed once finished.

Tower of Babel Trial

The Tower of Babel Trial is an event that opens two towers corresponding to a featured Luminary's main and secondary factions. Your combined performance across both towers earns rewards as you meet objectives, with additional ranking rewards at the event's conclusion.

Event Rules

• The two towers share a pool of up to 40 attempts, with 20 attempts restored daily at 5:00, never exceeding the cap.

Battle Rules

• Each tower requires a specific number of its faction's Luminaries and a dragon of that faction.
• The featured Luminary must participate in every battle; if you don't own them, a temporary version is provided.
• From Floor 16, floors become Twin God trials, demanding two distinct teams from the specific faction (the featured Luminary and dragon can be in both).
• Before each floor, select its star difficulty. Clearing it awards that number of stars. Difficulty scales with your chosen stars and your current total stars. Total stars increase difficulty for both towers, while floor number only affects its own tower.

Rewinding

You can only replay a cleared floor at a different difficulty by rewinding. Rewinding takes you back to an earlier cleared floor, allowing you to reselect its difficulty to potentially climb higher. This action only clears battles on subsequent floors; your best ranking score and star count on the rewards page remain unaffected.

Ranking

If you lose a battle, the lowest HP achieved by the enemy team is recorded as your progress. Ranking is determined by:

1. Total stars.
2. Combined floors cleared in both towers.
3. The lower of the two towers' floor count.
4. Progress on each tower's last cleared floor.

Prioritize accumulating stars, as they contribute most significantly to your ranking.

Abyss Corridor

Each tower's Abyss Corridor unlocks upon reaching 45 total stars for that tower. It offers many difficulty levels with a static enemy team that grows stronger with your total stars. You can challenge only the next three difficulties above your highest unlocked. Once unlocked, the Abyss Corridor prevents rewinding that tower to stages before it. Your best Abyss Corridor star rating contributes to the overall ranking.

Quick Tips

• Prioritize Daily Attempts: Make sure to use all daily attempts in modes like Divine Rift, Wonderland Siege, Valkyrie Trial, and Champion Expedition.
• Faction Synergy: Build strong faction-based teams for Trial Realms and Tower of Babel.
• Gear Up: Strategically target gear types on specific days in the Champion Expedition.
• Maze Exploration: Fully explore each Maze map to secure all rewards, paying attention to unique mechanics at higher stages.
• Heart Trial Focus: Choose shard drops wisely in Heart Trials, especially for Origin Luminaries, to develop key characters.
