 * Maximum clears: 3 times daily (failure will not count into the limit)

Time limit 10 minutes Note:
 * Stage 1 (Road to Extinction)
 * 1) Kill monsters to charge Erda (1 kill = 1 Erda charge). Sometimes, blue zones will spawn, stand inside the area when it disappears in 2 seconds to gain 10 Erda charges.
 * 2) When you are done charging (recommended to be 75 or higher), use NPC Chat at the Erda Condenser to despawn monsters. Erda charge will be consumed at a rate of 1 point per second.
 * 3) Normal attack the condenser to spawn erda fragments (blue, red, purple). The colour will depend on the condenser's colour, which will go on a cycle of: 5 seconds blue/red, 2 seconds purple.
 * 4) Use NPC Chat at the fragment to push the respective coloured fragments to the matching coloured walls (purple fragments can be pushed to either side and counts as 2 fragments). Sometimes, there will be red marked zones, keep the erda fragments away to preserve them, otherwise they will be destroyed when the explosion happens at the red zones.
 * 5) Push 10 erda fragments to the walls correctly to clear. After which, proceed with either Stage 2A or Stage 2B. The chance of entering Stage 2A increases as more erdas are pushed to the blue zone, and the chance of entering Stage 2B increases as more erdas are pushed to the red zone. However, if only purple erdas are pushed to the same side then it would be random.
 * If the task is not completed when the charge is drained, existing erda fragments and walls will disappear, monsters and blue zones will start to spawn again.
 * Progress made is not reset.

Time limit 2 minutes
 * Stage 2A (Extinction Zone)
 * 1) Kill monsters that spawn from 4 portals (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right). At any time, the monster population must be less than 50. Do so until time is up.
 * 2) Killing monsters will give Erda charge (1 charge per kill), and blue zones may appear from time to time, stand within those zones when it disappears after 2 seconds to gain 10 Erda charge.
 * 3) Use NPC Chat at the Erda Condenser to kill 15 monsters at the same time (full map attack), you can choose not to touch it if you want.
 * 4) When the time is up, the quest will be completed.

Time limit 2.5 minutes
 * Stage 2B (Cave of Rest)
 * 1) 2 Armas will start to appear from their caves, hurry up before they touch the Erda Condenser, otherwise you will fail instantly.
 * 2) Killing monsters will give Erda charge (1 charge per kill), and blue zones may appear from time to time, stand within those zones when it disappears after 2 seconds to gain 10 Erda charge.
 * 3) Use and hold down NPC Chat at the Erda Condenser to activate the laser. The laser's direction will be the same as the one that the character is facing. Use the laser to push back Arma all the way until it goes back to its cave (prpgress count will increase when that happens). It can take up to 15 seconds to do so. (Recommended 15 Erda charge per Arma)
 * 4) Push both Armas back and repeat the cycle (steps 1~3)
 * 5) Push back 5 Armas to complete.

Dream Defender is closed at the last 30 minutes of Sunday to the first 30 minutes of Monday, so take note if you wish to perform the quest near reset time.

In Dream Defender, you have to destroy purple (bad) music boxes to turn them yellow (good). Monsters will however seep in to attack the yellow music boxes to turn them purple. The goal is to maintain more yellow music boxes than purple music boxes (note, it is different from having 5 yellow music boxes) in 3 minutes. If there are more purple music boxes than yellow, the bar will become more purple; if the reverse is true, it will become more yellow. In general, it is somewhat related to Mu Lung Dojo. 1 Dojo floor cleared = about 1~1.3 Dream Defender stage (not applicable if cleared floor 41 in dojo)
 * The number matters: if there is a significant difference, the bar will move more; if there is a small difference (3 vs 2), the bar will barely move (but over time it is visible)
 * 5 purple box, 0 yellow box: bar shifts by 7.5% towards purple every second
 * 4 purple box, 1 yellow box: bar shifts by 4.5% towards purple every second
 * 3 purple box, 2 yellow box: bar shifts by 1.5% towards purple every second
 * 2 purple box, 3 yellow box: bar shifts by 1.5% towards yellow every second
 * 1 purple box, 4 yellow box: bar shifts by 4.5% towards yellow every second
 * 0 purple box, 5 yellow box: bar shifts by 7.5% towards yellow every second
 * Every stage starts with 50% yellow 50% purple bar, with 3 purple music boxes and 2 yellow music boxes.
 * Tactic board shows the map layout, you will start from the middle.
 * Purple square indicates purple box at that area, you should tend to that area.
 * Yellow square indicates yellow box at that area, you can ignore that area for awhile.
 * If it is blinking and it is originally yellow, means it is turning purple, prepare to rush there.
 * If it is blinking and it is originally purple, means it is turning yellow, keep hitting.
 * Every stage cleared gives Dream Points (current stage number cleared, rounded down to nearest tens, minimum 10 Points) that you can use to help yourself in later stages. Dream Points are stored forever in your character (max 3,000 Dream Points can be stored)
 * There is an unlimited number of stages, each stage will increase the HP of music boxes and monsters.
 * You failed the stage if either of these 2 situation happens:
 * Reached 3 minutes time limit but the bar is still not fully yellow
 * Bar is fully purple
 * Every 10 stage is a checkpoint, if you cleared that stage you can start from there directly (however if you started from there and you failed straight away, you get no rewards)
 * Starting from stage 30, every 10 stage you can claim a useless medal for achievement purposes, up to stage 100
 * Ranking is based on depth (stages), then speed (time taken for the last stage)
 * Top 5 Dream Defender ranking will be displayed as NPCs in Lachelein (left of clocktower), when you entered Dream Defender 3 times for the day you can go to each one and get Dream Coins (24~36 Dream Coins in total). Distribution as follows:
 * 1st place: 10~14 Dream Coins + Effort bonus Dream Coins
 * 2nd, 3rd place: 5~7 Dream Coins
 * 4th, 5th place: 2~4 Dream Coins

Rewards
 * 1 Dream coin every 1 stage cleared, if you started from checkpoint it assumes you cleared all the stages before the checkpoint (assuming you cleared at least 1 stage when you entered from the checkpoint). 30 Dream Coins = 1 Arcane Symbol: Lachelein. Max 500 Dream coins daily
 * 3,634,300 EXP + 363,430 EXP every 1 stage cleared, if you started from checkpoint it assumes you cleared all the stages before the checkpoint (assuming you cleared at least 1 stage when you entered from the checkpoint).

Based on your Arcane River progress, you can choose to skip rounds to receive Dream Coins (up to 500 Dream coins daily) instantly and use up 1 clear count, based on the best result of the day (EXP, achievement count and effort bonus is not given). You can still choose to perform it normally if you wish.

If you tried your best and you still could not perform well, you can obtain bonus Dream Coins from the 1st place player NPC. Effort bonus is applied per entry and stacks, excluding auto-clears. (Example: Manually clearing Stage 3 for all 3 entries without using auto clear lets you get 5 ×3 entries = 15 coins as effort bonus.)

 * Certain event expirable overhead titles and skills
 * Hyper Stats: +5~+100
 * Guild Skill: +15~+30

From the Union Coin Shop, for 300 Union Coins, you can buy an Arcane Catalyst, up to 3 per character weekly (not available in Reboot Worlds).

That character must meet the following requirements to stabilise it to use that Arcane Symbol. Once stabilized, symbol becomes untradeable. Final Stat boost will be adjusted to match the job. You will then have to pay mesos to bring the Arcane Symbol back to higher levels if applicable.
 * Symbol Level drops back to Level 1
 * Total Symbol EXP reduces to 80% of original, rounded up.
 * Tradable within the account
 * Completed the corresponding town's story quests (Unlocked Daily Quests for that town)
 * The same symbol must not exist in the same character (whether or not equipped), so the character must throw away existing duplicate symbols to stabilize it (Dream Coins and Spirit Coins are allowed however).

The growth conversion is as follows, assuming all mesos are paid after the conversion.
