Exploration - Manual
Added 2021-09-08 21:20:11 +0000 UTCExploring is one of the main ways to gather materials or grow more powerful in HPC.
When exploring you are making use of the Zone system, which allows you to enhance your character, control the amount and quality of items you receive and more.
In the beginning, each zone starts at level 0. By increasing a zone's level you will obtain better rewards when gathering (such as higher quality items, being able to gather multiple items at once, and a larger pool of items).
To gather, click the green or blue circular orbs in the exploration screen. With gathering a small chance of battle exists. Conversely, you can trigger a battle at any time by choosing that option.
You can increase a zone's level by applying ambient energy to the zone. This is unlocked by defeating enemies. Another benefit of ambient energy is that you can also absorb it yourself to make Bai Huan stronger. This occurs in the form of acquiring converted qi without the need to gather it yourself, since the beasts you defeated have done it for you.
Each monster you defeat raises the "streak" value of a zone, which increases the effects of gathering or infusing ambient energy. In general, the higher the streak, the more beneficial it is to you.
A zone's maximum level is 10, and while raising it enemies will also grow stronger in response. Along with their growth you will also be able to collect more ambient energy upon their defeat.
In general, exploration does not take up too much of your time, but you may end up spending time traveling between the zone and your base of operations.
