Beginner guide: quests, equipment, and character points

Choose a job from the quest board, check its requirements, and use the right progression menu: Blacksmith for equipment, Upgrade Knight for stat points in the developer reply. Private quest worlds are reported by players; solo play still needs an online connection.

Read the board before collecting materials

The official quest-board screenshot shows named jobs and their requirement icons. The QoL patch says selecting a job with missing items tells you how to craft them; jobs marked Requires Potion accept any health potion. These are useful checks before chasing a guessed ingredient.

The September crafting note says to open pause and switch to the crafting tab. You can combine items while questing; in town, the menu includes storage. Armor recipes found in dungeons are taken to the Blacksmith.

Choose the correct upgrade service

Blacksmith handles equipment upgrades; Steam's Holy Diver achievement names that service. Developer coty identifies the Upgrade Knight in the barracks for stat points (Single source: developer reply). The leveling note calls the skill-point service Knight Trainer; it does not establish how that name relates to Upgrade Knight.

The selected upgrade screenshot previews Dark Knight Greatsword +1, using a base Dark Knight Greatsword as one input. Its quantities are Single source and belong only to that selection; the Training Greatsword header is the open-tree context.

Questing alone

In the Steam solo discussion, Jim says private barracks and private quest worlds are available; SimLec adds that this is not offline play. This does not establish that every dungeon puzzle can be completed alone.

What I checked

This guide compiles public screenshots, patch notes, and attributed replies. It is an orientation guide, without a claimed first-hour completion time or a route tested by this site.

Questions

What should I check before taking a quest?

Read the selected objective and missing-item requirements. The QoL note says the board supplies crafting guidance when you lack a required item.

Should I spend gems at Upgrade Knight to improve a weapon?

Equipment upgrading belongs to Blacksmith. Upgrade Knight is the stat-point service in developer coty's reply; these menus should not be combined.

Official identifies the publisher, not independent corroboration. Unless a specific claim cites two independent sources, each attributed figure or report is a single-source observation. Different pages from one publisher are one source.
