Maps
The bottom screen is where you can draw the map of the floor you are on while exploring. You can also place icons and add short notes. When you reach the next stair case after mapping a a floor, you unlock floor jump. Floor jump allows you to warp between stairs on different floors. It also resets the proximity gauge.

Gathering
There are three types of gathering points in the labyrinth: chop, mine, and take. Each point can only be gathered once per day. They reset at 0 am. The more skill points placed towards gathering skills, the greater the number of items you receive and the higher chance of rarer items. There is a chance you can get ambushed by monsters while gathering.
