Getting started

Your first-week checklist

Keep track of your setup, progression milestones and next play session, with a reusable checklist for three characters.

On this page
Editorial planning aid for the global service. Check current notices and the values in your own client. Session and weekly checks reset only when you choose; this page does not assume a global reset time or reward allowance.

Start with the character you are playing

Choose a checklist profile and give it a name you recognize, such as your character and server. Work through the setup checks before committing one-time rewards or a server-specific purchase.

Use this as a short list of decisions, not a race to finish every activity. A story step or one reliable dungeon clear is a useful goal for a short session. Later milestones can wait until your character is eligible.

Your saved checklist

Check a task when it is done for the selected character. Read its linked guide if you need the details. Setup and progression checks are milestones; session checks are a reusable routine.

Your three profiles stay in this browser on this device. They do not sync with the game or another device. Export a file if you want to keep a record of your progress before clearing browser data. If browser storage is unavailable, the checklist works for the current visit and shows a message explaining that limit.

Read the guide →

Login eligibility, earning windows and mail or Twitch claims are separate.

Build your first progression route

One-time milestones · Follow available objectives; these are planning milestones, not a claim that every task is already unlocked.

Read the next objective and check the Quest Tracker when travel is blocked.

Read the guide →

Read what each available action does before spending upgrade resources.

Read the guide →

Check the selected mode, current entry requirements and group expectations.

Read the guide →

Separate entry, energy, reward selection and any pending reward claim.

Each play session

Reset when you start again · A short routine you can reuse. Reset these checks yourself; no server timer is assumed.

Look for launch changes and the latest Duty issue status.

Read the guide →

A story step, first clear or specific upgrade is enough for a short session.

Weekly review

Reset after checking your service · Use your client for the actual reset schedule. This review does not invent a global reward allowance.

Check each activity separately before planning repeat runs.

Read the guide →

Only plan around the campaigns available for your region and account.

Read the guide →

Keep the currency needed for your goal before optional purchases.

Read the guide →

Use a repeated encounter to practice a specific movement or defensive response.

Read the guide →

Progress stays in this browser. You can keep separate checks for three characters.

Plan repeat activities from your current client

Before repeating an activity, inspect its entry requirements, available attempts, energy and reward screen separately. Being able to enter does not by itself tell you whether another reward is available.

Reset a group when you want to begin its checks again. Undo reset restores the most recent reset while that option remains available. For the weekly group, first check that the relevant activity has reset in your service. The checklist does not spend items, claim rewards or run a game action.

Short messages for your party

Copy a message, replace the bracketed details and send it yourself when useful. These are ordinary messages for coordinating a group.
