Can I change the race and appearance of the Arisen or my Main Pawn after I’ve finalized it?
Some changes can be made, but you must meet certain conditions, so please think thoroughly before you finalize your character creation.
In order to change the Arisen or your Main Pawn’s appearance and voice, you must use the item “Art of Metamorphosis” at a certain location. However, please note that you cannot change the Arisen's race, or the name or moniker of the Arisen and your Main Pawn.
To change your Main Pawn’s inclination, use the “Art of Metamorphosis” or talk to your Main Pawn when camping at a campsite while they have a Rift Incense in possession. *The name of the Rift Incense varies for each type.
*The item “Art of Metamorphosis” can be obtained in-game at the Pawn Guild.
What is the icon that appears above the Arisen’s health gauge and the icon that switches from my pawn’s vocation icon after a certain amount of time?
Icons appear when the Arisen or your pawn is inflicted or affected by something, such as a debilitation.
You can check for more details about the icon by looking under “Conditions” in the Status screen, which can be reached from the Pause Menu.
I can’t proceed with my quest.
If you become lost or unsure of what to do during your quest, go to Diviner's Salon or Reverent Shrine while you have set the quest as a priority, and you might be able to get a hint by paying a fee.
*You can set a quest as a priority by opening the Pause Menu and going to “Quest.”
Also, please refer to the FAQ listed below as well.
I can’t find the NPC who’s involved in the quest.
Soldiers and residents suddenly started attacking the Arisen.
I accepted a quest, but a marker does not appear on the map. / I reached the location of the marker on the map, but I am unable to proceed with the quest.
There are some quests that do not show a marker on the map, and there are some with a marker that appears or disappears over time.
Also, you may not be able to proceed with some quests even if you have reached the location of the marker. For these cases, you must reach the location of the marker after you have met certain requirements for the quest.
I can’t find the NPC who’s involved in the quest.
If you cannot find a certain NPC, please try looking for them at the following locations as you may be able to find them there:
*Please note that they may not always be at the location where the marker indicates.
Locations that are relevant with the quest
NPCs live their own lives, and they may come and go to a different location over time or come out only during certain times of the day. Please try looking for them at different locations and different times of the day.
The Vermund Charnel House or Battahl Morgue
NPCs are sent to these locations if they die.
Soldiers and residents suddenly started attacking the Arisen.
NPCs may consider the Arisen as an adversary depending on your gameplay. If you are under this situation, please stay away from the NPCs for a certain amount of time and wait for them to calm down. Sometimes, it may take more time for them to calm down, so please wait and check how they’re doing on a later date.
Markers are displayed on the right side of the quest list when I go to the “Quests” screen, but what do they mean?
The meaning of each marker is as follows:
- An hourglass marker indicates that the quest is available for a limited time only.
- A blue marker indicates that your Main Pawn can lead you on this quest or have some useful information.
- An orange marker with “I” indicates that your first support pawn can lead you on this quest or have some useful information.
- An orange marker with “II” indicates that your second pawn can lead you on this quest or have some useful information.
My Main Pawn has some scars on their face and body that I don’t recall them having when I created them at the character creator.
Some scars may remain on your pawns depending on your gameplay. There are two kinds of scars that your pawns can get in your gameplay, and they can be healed differently. Scars that your pawns got when they became immobile are healed over time, and scars that your pawns got when they became forfeit can be healed by going into a hot spring.
There are some items that I cannot give other players as a gift.
You cannot give items that can be purchased at the Pawn Guild to other players as a gift.
*However, these items can be gifted to NPCs.
I’m missing an item/equipment that I do not recall discarding.
Pawns who have acquired Specialization: Hawker and Specialization: Logistician will adjust the total weight of items carried, such as by automatically receiving items and equipment from the Arisen and by selling low rarity items.
Furthermore, when a pawn becomes forfeit, any items they held will automatically be sent to item storage.
I can’t use the Ferrystone. / I used my Ferrystone, but I can’t fast travel.
There are some situations where you can’t use your Ferrystone, such as when you are in a battle with an enemy. If you are under this situation, the Ferrystone in your Items menu will be grayed out, which prevents you from selecting this item.
Also, the Ferrystone will not activate if you use it at certain locations, such as when you are under a roof, so please try again at a different location. *In this case, the Arisen will carry out the same motion as when they actually use the Ferrystone, but rest assured that it is not consumed.
