- Karma Shards & Boons of Salvation: Increased Exp 10% (500 Karma Shards) first. Gifts Discount 10% (300) is the other pick, but RPG Site lists it as needing one finished Part I path.
- Quests / the Bulletin Board: Check the Bulletin Board every time you're in Dagsion: new quests appear per chapter and are worth doing immediately.
- Gifts: Give a gift to the first not-yet-bonded recruitable character you meet, to unlock Meals with them sooner.
- Arena training: Wait for a weekend where possible: training costs half as much Gold on Saturday/Sunday.
- Temple service & Blessings: Serve Credna's temple first; it is named as the best first Blessing to chase, for the Fog of War counter.
- 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.
Daily habit: gifts, meals, Arena training. Both are cheaper on Sunday: if you miss it, train Saturday and pay full price for meals. ◇ our recommendation: the author's own daily routine See the full routine.
Weekly checklist: everything that repeats each week, split by what uses a turn.
