Magic Maze

The Magic Maze (魔法の迷宮) is a mysterious place where a variety of bosses and enemies can be summoned and fought. It is the primary source of obtaining accessories, which are a very important aspect of a character's power growth.

How to Unlock
To unlock the Magic Maze, you must first speak to Ronde (ロンデ) located outside the Mokomoko House in North Port Lendor (港町レンドア北). If If you are at least level 20, you will be able to accept Quest 121 from Ronde. Doing so will put you through a 'trial' run of the Magic Maze to see how it works. Once you finish, return to Ronde to clear the quest. You will now have access to the Mokomoko House and will receive the Magic Key (まほうのカギ) key item.

How to Enter the Magic Maze
There are two ways to enter the Magic Maze:
 * Using the Magic Key item from your Key Items.
 * Talking to Dorothy (ドロシー) inside the Mokomoko House.

If you enter via the Magic Key, you will be able to enter with other human players. However, you will not be able to bring your own AI companions and will be either matched with other random players or assigned random AI around your level. If you want to enter with your own AI companions, you must enter via Dorothy.

How It Works
Depending on how you enter the Magic Maze, its structure will differ.

If you enter via the Magic Key, the dungeon layout will be similar to how the 'trial' run functioned when you first accepted the quest. There will be multiple floors of enemies and a fixed boss at the end. However, you can offer a boss item at the center statue to fight a specific boss instead. That will be explained in the next section.

If you enter via Dorothy, you will need to be carrying at least one boss item to offer or else you cannot enter. That will be explained in the next section.

Boss Items
Boss items are special items that allow you to summon specific bosses in the Magic Maze to fight. Each boss has a specific accessory they drop. Boss items are offered at the central statue in the first room of the Magic Maze. When offering items to the statue, you are allowed to use up to four items of the same boss. Doing so will increase the amount of rewards the boss will drop by the number of additional items you offer past the first.

Boss items come in four different types: coins, medals, cards, and tags. Coins, medals, and cards are essentially the same type of item, and tags are their own separate category.
 * Coins: Do not expire. Can be sold/traded to other players.


 * Medals: Do not expire. Cannot be sold or traded.


 * Cards: DO expire. Cannot be sold or traded.


 * Tags: Do not expire. Can be purchased from vendors. Used for boss practice.

Coins, medals, and cards can all be offered at the same time so long as the summoned boss is the same among them. Tags must be offered alone, as they are simply a way to practice the boss and give no reward.

When you receive a boss card, its expiration time will start counting down. You can see how many hours the card has left in its description. Once a card is expired, it is useless and can be thrown away.

How to Get Boss Items
There are a variety of ways to get boss items:


 * Coin Shops: There is a Coin Shop located right inside the Mokomoko House (as well as the other minor towns) that sell a variety of boss coins. However, they will not have the newest bosses available to purchase.


 * Casino: The Casino has a variety of lower level boss cards to purchase with Casino Tokens. This is a good way to get some starting accessories without having to spend any Gold.


 * Lottery: The SP Lottery has a chance to give you some lower level boss coins as prizes. If you're looking to score the newest boss coins, the regular lottery at Glen Castle Town (グレン城下町) will have them as their top prizes.


 * Events: Events that happen year round will most likely have boss medals as rewards you can acquire by participating.


 * 10 Day: Every day on the 10th of the month (in Japan), you can run into an NPC named Pu-chan (プーちゃん) who will give you one free boss card. These include newer bosses, so make sure you don't forget to do this.

Offering Items
Once inside the Magic Maze, you will see a large statue in the middle of the first room. By examining this statue, a list of currently held boss items will appear. Once a boss item is offered, only items of the same boss can be offered next. Each player can offer as many or as little as they want, but the limit will still be four items. However, there are a few types of items which do not follow this offering restriction:


 * Metal Slime/Liquid Metal/Metal King Coins & Gem Slime Medals: These items can be offered separately and do not need to match types. (For example, you can offer 1 Liquid Metal Coin and 1 Metal King Coin.) However, these are NOT considered boss items, and cannot be offered until a boss item is offered first. When offered, the associated enemies will appear in the room before the boss and must all be defeated to move on. These items also count towards the four item limit.


 * Substitution Coins: This can be offered in addition to four boss items and does not count towards the four item limit. In the event of a loss against the boss, the offered items will be retained. However, the Substitution Coin will be consumed even if you win the battle.

Boss Rewards
If you successfully defeat a boss you offered items to summon, a number of red chests equal to the number of items offered will appear. (This means a maximum of four chests can appear as a reward.) These chests will contain either accessories or accessory shards. Duplicate accessories should be kept as they can synthesized together at the Accessory Shop in Verinard Castle Town (ヴェリナード城下町) to increase their power. Accessory shards can be restored into actual accessories in the Accessory Shop as well, provided you have enough.
