Free time this chapter

  1. Karma Shards & Boons of Salvation: Increased Exp 10% (500 Karma Shards) or Gifts Discount 10% (300 Karma Shards) — named as the two best first buys.
  2. Quests / the Bulletin Board: Check the Bulletin Board every time you're in Dagsion — new quests appear per chapter and are worth doing immediately.
  3. Gifts: Give a gift to the first not-yet-bonded recruitable character you meet, to unlock Meals with them sooner.
  4. Arena training: Wait for a weekend where possible — training costs half as much Gold on Saturday/Sunday.

  6. Meals: Spend a unit's Motivation on Training, Acting or Temple Service before restoring it with a Meal or the Thermae, so you don't waste a full restore on an already-full gauge.

Alexandra
Alexandra

Recruiting Alexandra on Dietrich's route requires 3 support with her and 8 renown.

  • Give Alexandra a gift and pair it with a weekly meal, arena training, temple service, thermae or theatre session from the first free-time window, aiming for roughly one support-raising action with her per in-game week.† unverified

    why: Satisfies the 3S support component of Alexandra's Dietrich's-route gate.

  • Prioritise quests from the Bulletin Board and Adventure Guide, taking every Challenge Letter as soon as it appears, alongside divine audiences and skirmishes, from the start of Dietrich's route.† unverified

    why: Satisfies the 8R renown component of Alexandra's Dietrich's-route gate.

Benditz
Benditz

On Dietrich's route, Benditz requires 2S support and 7R renown.

  • Give Benditz a gift each in-game week, share meals with him at inns and pair with him in arena training, temple service, world-map feasts, theatre or thermae, aiming to carry his support to level 2 before Part I chapter 5.† unverified

    why: Satisfies the 2S support component of Benditz's Dietrich route gate, which is Benditz's own support level with the player.

  • Prioritise quests from the start of Dietrich's route — especially Dietrich's route-specific Challenge Letters — alongside main-story progression, divine audiences, skirmishes (using Answerer's Cry to spawn hidden enemies where available) to accrue the 7R renown the gate needs.† unverified

    why: Satisfies the 7R renown component of Benditz's Dietrich route gate.

Buccar
Buccar

On Dietrich's route, Buccar requires 3S support, 8R renown and clearing Leda's Paralogue.

  • Give Buccar one liked gift every in-game week (Rare Spices, Village Recipes, Mature Ghosh or Volcano Ghosh) and pair him with the player in meals, arena training, temple service, thermae or theatre until his support level reaches 3.† unverified

    why: Satisfies the gate's 3S support component, which is Buccar's own support level with the player.

    Gifts bought from the Shopping Arcade gift shop and the Tavern at Lowtown cheap-gift shop; other support activities per the Game8 support guide

  • Prioritise quests from the very start of the route — Dietrich's specialised Challenge Letters above all — plus divine audiences, skirmishes and main-story progression, to climb to 8R before recruiting Buccar.† unverified

    why: Satisfies the gate's 8R renown component.

    Quests are the largest single renown source; Challenge Letters are Dietrich's route-specific quest type

  • Accept Leda's Paralogue "Diversionary Tactics" inside its 9/2–9/8 window and clear it, since clearing it is what recruits Buccar.

    why: Satisfies the gate's "clear Leda's Paralogue" component.

    Paralogue "Diversionary Tactics", Dietrich's route, chapter 9

Catania
Catania

On Dietrich's route, Catania requires support level 1 with her and renown level 8 to be recruited.

  • Give Catania a liked gift every in-game week from the first free-time window and pair it with shared meals, arena training, temple service, theatre or thermae whenever they are available, to reach support level 1.† unverified

    why: Satisfies the 1S component of Catania's Dietrich-route gate, which is her own support level with the player, raised by weekly gifts and shared activities.

  • Prioritise quests from the start of the route, clearing Dietrich's specialised Challenge Letters as soon as they appear each week, alongside main-story progress, divine audiences, skirmishes and paralogues, to build towards renown level 8.† unverified

    why: Satisfies the 8R component of Catania's Dietrich-route gate, since quests are the largest single renown source and Challenge Letters are Dietrich's route-specific renown quest type.

Creek
Creek

Creek joins in Part II War Chapter 2 by being defeated in battle, but only if the Part I subquest "My Late Sister's Accessory" was cleared first, and missing that subquest forfeits the recruit.

  • Clear the Part I subquest "My Late Sister's Accessory", checking the Bulletin Board and NPC quest-givers from the first free-time window of Part I and completing it before Part I ends.† unverified

    why: Satisfies the gate component requiring the Part I subquest "My Late Sister's Accessory" to be cleared before Creek can be recruited.

Dadao
