Beginner's Guide

## Start of the Game

Welcome to Shining Beyond! Upon entering the game, players will be introduced to their Guide, Jenny. She will teach players about the basics of the game as well as give you Guide Quests. These Guide Quests can be found on the right side of the game, above the Adventure Icon.

* [Note] Always prioritize the guide quest and look ahead to preview the upcoming quest requirements (under the quest menu) before committing any upgrades or promotion of heroes. Especially if you are a F2P player, promoting a hero prematurely may set you back a few hours of gameplay in completing your guide quest due to limited resources.

## Starter Heroes

In the beginning of the game, you will be given Jake & Arisa as free heroes. In addition, you will get Olivia as a global pre-registration reward.

* [Note] : As your first team set-up comes with Jake & Olivia (Guardian) as well as Arisa (Healer), you have the tank and healer roles covered. Depending on which kind of unit you get from your summon or forge, it is suggested you choose your next hero to build accordingly.

List of Heroes

## Premium Summon

Gather 2,700 Gems to do 10x Summon Cost.

* [Note] : We suggest players to focus on collecting Gems to do 10x Summon. In addition to getting heroes, you can also get Milestone points which you can use later for Milestone Summon.

Easy way to get gems would be from completing Guide Quest.

## Gem Farming

There are several ways you can do to get Gems needed for Summon. The easiest way would be by playing through the Campaign. By completing the maps, you can get Gems from Bonus Trial Chest, Grand Trial Chest, as well as Area Milestone.

You can also get Gems by completing the Quests. Some All-time quests are repeatable and will reward gems.

* You can get 250 Gem from Daily Milestone Mission, 500 Gem from Weekly Milestone Mission and 1000 Gem from Monthly Milestone Mission

* Completion of Collection Mission Milestone will reward you 6,000 Gem, while Special Mission Milestone will reward you 6,000 Gem.

* You can get 2100 Gem by completing Guide Quest, plus an additional 200 Gem from Guide Mission Milestone.

In addition to that, once you reach level 20, you will gain access to Arena where you can receive weekly Ladder Ranking reward, as well as weekly ranking milestone reward.  The higher your arena rank, the more Gems you can get!

Other than those methods, there are still many ways to obtain free Gems, such as:

* Daily login reward and maintenance compensation

* Tower of Oblivion; Some of the trials give out Gems as rewards

* Wishing Altar & Premium Wishing Altar

* Daily Free Pack

* Advancement Reward; reach specific stage in Campaign to get

* Limited time event mission & milestone reward

* Level up reward

## Gold Farming

There are several ways you can get Gold.

* Gold Dungeon - Vault of Gold & Wisdom

You can enter this dungeon daily. The higher the difficulty of the stage, the higher amount of Gold will be given.

* You can also obtain gold by playing through the game normally. Campaign stages drop Gold and equipment, which can be sold for an amount of gold.

* Limited, All-Time and Guide Quests

* Idle Reward

* Daily login reward and maintenance compensation

* Advancement Reward; reach specific stage in Campaign to get

* Limited time event mission

## Obtaining and Using Equipment

You can obtain equipment from

* Stage drops

* Idle reward

* Forge

Buying Weapon/Gear Chests or Selectors in the Market

Quest rewards

Gear Rune Dungeon

Tower of Oblivion reward

* [Note] : When using equipment, it is advisable to use equipment that come as a set for its set bonus. If the set is not complete yet, having two parts of the set also grants a partial set bonus.

For equipment below 3★, it is not advisable to upgrade them to max as you will need higher rarity equipment to clear Heroic and Legendary stages, hence you should save your resources.

## Friends, Strangers, and Items

Use strong friends and items to help you get through Campaign! When you are stuck at any of the stages, it is very helpful to bring a strong friend during stage. You can use in-game chat to find strong friends.

During times when the difference between victory and loss amounts to a few HP, using consumables such as potions might help you win.

## Leveling and Promoting Your Heroes

A top priority for new players is to quickly level up, tier up and promote your heroes to a full squad of SSR heroes.

To level up your heroes faster, you can do both leveling through story completion and using EXP potions.

Make sure to collect corresponding hero’s Shards and Omni-shards for Hero Promotion, as well as Job Relics for Job Promotion.
