========
Dungeons
========

    Unlike certain MMORPGs where the dungeons are public areas, the
dungeons of Shin Megami Tensei Imagine are "private." The dungeons are
separated into a lobby area and the hunting area.

By utilizing colored triangular items known as plates on the the dungeon's
"terminal" structure, a player can create small dungeon that only he and his
party can enter. The trade-ff to this system is that spawns only occur
once, eliminating any possibility of camping in dungeons. The plates are
usually sold by the item shop that is in the dungeon's lobby. The NPC you
should look for is a tan-colored midget that has a goat head and a gas mask.

    Each dungeon has its own set of colored plates, ranging from Bronze
to Gold. Plates for one dungeon cannot be used in other dungeons. If
you cannot use a certain plate on a terminal, check the label of the plate
and make sure you are in the proper dungeon.

    At the end of the dungeon, there will always be a boss room. Defeating
the boss and its minions will cause five green boxes to appear. These are
treasure boxes. It is limited to one per party member, and the contents
are random.

=======
Parties
=======

    The maximum capacity for a single party is five. While a full party
does make many dungeons easier, you will lose ten percent of any experience
you gain for every party member you have, not including yourself. Consider
the balance of firepower and experience before heading into any dungeons
that you may be able to handle with fewer members.

    To invite a person to a party, right-click the person then and then
select パーティ勧誘 from the drop-down menu that appears. If you are
trying to invite someone from your Clan list of Friend list, you can
right-click their name on the list and the drop-down menu will appear.
Keep in mind that only people that are on the same Channel can be in
the same party.

    To change Channels, select SYSTEM from the bottom-right hand corner
and then select the first option, which is チャネル移動. You will be
presented with list of channels. Double-click your desired channel
and a ten second countdown will begin. Even if two people are on
different channels, they can still communicate through TELL or
the clan chat.

    Note that Channels are not the same as servers. As of 2008, there
is the Cerberus(ケルベロス) server, and the Cu Chulain(クー・フーリン) server.
You cannot transfer your character between these servers, so be careful
when creating your character.

====================
Reviving a Character
====================

    Should you die, have fellow players revive you. To allow them to do
so, you must hit the last option available on the Death Menu. This should
cause a player symbol with wings to appear next to your character name.

Suginami Dungeon(スギナミ魔階坑道)
===========================
===========================

Location:Suginami(スギナミ) X18/Y24


Plates:Bought from the dungeon's Yagi Shop.


Special Traits:There are several treasure rooms that can be opened
              by using a certain number of Shining Ore(輝く鉄石)
              on the door when prompted. How the Shining Ore is
              obtained differs between the different levels of
              Suginami Dungeon. You cannot take any Shining Ore
              with you when starting a new dungeon run. The game
              will not let you create a new dungeon. Either throw
              them away with the 捨てる command in Item, or talk to
              the Yagi Shop and select 鉄石の引き取り. You will get one
              Revival Ring for trading in one Ore.

              One of the floor maps that could come up in this dungeon
              features two pathways that go to the left and right, and
              converge onto a center area. In order to open the golden
              door that leads to the teleporter in the center area, you
              must go through both the left and right paths and open
              the doors at the end of them.

--------------

Recommended level:25-30(With Party)

How to gain Shining Ore:Held by devils that have 饒舌な多弁家 in their
                       names. Negotiate with them and Ore may appear

-Notes-

    A higher level dungeon. As you can see from the boss room data, you
want a gunner in your party. Use the barrier to your advantage and lure
the Cait Siths to your area. Since the Cait Siths are very aggressive, you
will be quickly surrounded if you go beyond the barrier.

    Most of the devils in the dungeon are weak to fire. Be sure to have
access to fire attacks, and have some form of ice attack ready for when
a Mutated Archangel shows up.

    -Sapphire
    -Emerald
    -Aquamarine
    -Diamond
    -Repair Seal
    -Repair Kit
    -Moon Mirror:Eclipse
    -Evening Grail
    -Soul Stone:Aquarius

-Notes-

    A very difficult dungeon. You want to come in with access to all the
basic elements, especially Ice. If you see a Power come out, you want to
handle it with Psyche(神経) type attacks. Most parties that enter
this dungeon also want you to come with Fog Breath on your devil as well.
You also need at least one Gunner to deal with the Mutated Fenrirs that
occasionally appear. Without one, you will spend a good ten to twenty
minutes fighting a otherwise weak devil.

    If you are at a low level, expect to take a hour or two in this dungeon.
If you have been enchanting your equipment and your stats are close to or
above 99, then things will run much more quickly.

    The minions in the boss room are numerous, but all but one are "fakes."
Hitting fake will eventually cause it to dissappear. Killing the real one
will cause all fakes to dissapear as well. Even if you are in your
fifties, you will still have a hard time here.


====================
====================
Cell Tower(魔階セルタワー )
====================
====================

Location:Shibuya(シブヤ) X19/Y24


Plates:Bought from the dungeon's Yagi Shop.


Special Traits:There are two types of switches that you will come across
              in this dungeon. One will unlock doors, while the other
              will replace the sub-boss of this dungeon, Omoikane, with
              weaker devils. To tell the difference between the two
              switches, look at the words that will be in brackets.
              Switches that are for locked doors will be called
              ロックセキュリティシステム, while the ones that replace
              Omoikane will be called 魔除け祈願システム. Omoikane is not
              paticularly strong, so feel free to ignore the switch.

    -Aura Shot(Blue)
    -Ring of Laurin
    -Moon Mirror:Eclipse


-Notes-

    The next dungeon up from Suginami Bronze. The hallways are long, but
nothing paticularly special. A player with a rifle will have a somewhat
easier time with the regular enemies, but any player should be able
to get through this dungeon without trouble.

    -Head Hunter Spoon

-Notes-

    Several rooms will have two spawns rather then the usual one.
Also, Tarask will be a common enemy you will face. It has no weak
points, and has a chance of absorbing fire.

    Odin has very high attack power. A player with low defense will
suffer one hundred and fifty damage with three hits. Also watch out for
Gugnir, a long-range spell that can easily do two hundred damage. Watch
out for Odin and make sure the Slepnirs do not gang up on one character.

===========================
===========================
Shibuya Quartz(魔階シブヤクォーツ)
===========================
===========================

Location:Shibuya(シブヤ) X20/Y21


Plates:You must trade for a plate with ten pieces of Fossilized
      Magnanite(石化マグネタイト). This item is dropped by all the field
      devils on the Shibuya field. The different Harpy sisters
      have a good drop ratio.


Special Traits:Most of your movement between areas will be handled by
              various crystals within the dungeon. There is one white
              crystal as well as six different colored crystals that
              each represent a different player stat. Depending on which
              cyrstal you touch, and how high the corresponding stat
              is, your path in the dungeon will change. The boss at
              the end may also be upgraded if your stat is high enough.
              In general, the higher your stat, the tougher the next
              area will be.

              The crystals and the stat they represent are:

              Red Crystal: Power
              Blue Crsytal:Magic
              Green Crystal:Vitality
              Purple Crystal:Intelligence
              Yellow Crystal:Dexterity
              Pink Crystal:Luck


              You may notice that the Inugamis here seem to have a
              sparkling aura around them. These special Inugamis have
              a fifty percent chance of reflecting any magic. Fight
              them with close-range weapons.

              Occasionally, you may run across a Dangerous Sudama. These
              Sudamas have one thousand and five hundred HP, and will only
              use suicide attacks. If you cannot kill the Sudama in
              time, try to cancel the attack with a regular attack. Since
              the suicide attacks are considered Rush attacks, a regular
              attack will cancel the move and save you from damage.

Bronze Level(鋼)

Recommended level:15


Possible Treasure- Magnanite
                  Fossilized Magnanite
                  Sweeper(Black)
                  Randolf Knife


*NOTE*

    To enter the treasure rooms, you must have a player with at least
    twenty luck touch a Luck Crystal.


-Boss Room-

    On the final road to the boss room, you will notice the six colored
crystals along the path. If certain ones are lighted, then the stats of
the boss will change, as well as the minions that spawn. To light up one
of these crystals, you must have touched a similar colored crystal on
the previous floors. To light up each crystal you must have the following
stats:

              Red Crystal:50 Power
              Blue Crsytal:50 Magic
              Green Crystal:40 Vitality
              Purple Crystal:40 Intelligence
              Yellow Crystal:50 Dexterity
              Pink Crystal:40 Luck


Here are the possible bosses that can appear:

Wings of Hell Fury-No crystals are glowing.
Swift Greed Fury-Yellow Crystal is glowing.
Unmoving Jealousy Fury-Blue Crystal is glowing, or Red, Yellow and Purple
                      are glowing.
Merciful Force Fury-Red, Blue and Yellow crystals are glowing.
Lasting Vengence Fury-Red Crystal is glowing, or Red and Pink is glowing.


    If more then one crystal is glowing, but does not meet any of the
above criteria, then the first crystal that was lit will have priority.

depends on what crystals are glowing.

    The lower the item is on the list, the rarer it is.

    -Magnanite
    -Opal
    -Topaz
    -Jade
    -Amethyst
    -Repair Kit
    -Junk(Bullet)
    -Cell Tower:Silver plate
    -Crystal Sword



-Notes-

    If you do not activate one of the harder bosses, then the run through
this dungeon should be a breeze. A large majority of the devils here are
bird types, so gunner types will feel at home here.

    On the other hand, you will start seeing devils that reflect certain
close-range attacks. If you start taking damage and a barrier appears in
front of the devil you just attacked, that means your attacks are being
reflected. Switch to a different weapon.


===========================
===========================
Ichigaya Bunker(旧イチガヤ駐屯地)
===========================
===========================

Location:Ichigaya(イチガヤ) X17/Y23


Plates:Bought from the dungeon's Yagi Shop.


Special Traits:This dungeon features the shortest route to the boss room.
              However, going straight to the boss may be unwise depending
              on your level, or impratical. I will explain why on the
              sections for the different levels. It is best to use the
              elevator that is in the center of the first floor, go to the
              lower floors to retrive Floppies/CDs, and hand them to
              the NPC that is in front of the boss room by selecting
              ____を渡す. After that, you can enter the boss room by
              hitting 奥に進む.

              The Floppies/CDs are in hidden treasure boxes. To make the
              boxes appear, you must hit a switch. The switch will cause
              the treasure box to appear in the same room, but the box
              carrying the Floppies/CDs and switch are always separated
              by either chasms or stacks of crates.


              It should be noted that there is no shop within this dungeon.
              If you plan to explore the entire dungeon, come prepared with
              extra supplies.


---------------
Bronze Level(鋼)
---------------

Recommended level:25


Level-Specific Notes: You can retrieve Correction Files(修正ファイル) from
                     the three floors you can access from the elevator.
                     Each floppy corresponds to a certain devil that
                     appears in the boss room. Giving the File to the
                     NPC that is in front of the boss room will cause
                     the corresponding devil to disappear. You will find
                     the following files on these floors:

                     B3-修正ファイル(モウリョウ) Mouryuu's File
                     B4-修正ファイル(コロンゾン) Koronzon's File
                     B5-修正ファイル(グール) Ghoul's File


Possible Treasure- Periot
                  Chakra Drop
                  Chakra Chip
                  Magic Stone

-Notes-

    This dungeon is somewhat tough when you are in your twenties, but
a player can easily solo this once they are in their fifties. Since the
path to the boss room is so short, this dungeon is very popular among
players in their forties. A full party properly equipped can achieve
the same experience as Suginami Silver in two runs, all while using
less time. However, since magicians and gunners have a tough time in
this dungeon, popularity for this dungeon is lower then Suginami Silver.

    If you are a fighter, you will have a somewhat easier time in this
dungeon. If you are a Law fighter and bought the Claymore from
Arcadia, you will easily breeze through the enemies.

    The Ghouls in the boss room have very high attack power. Expect fifty
damage or so per hit. Watch out for them and start taking a defensive
position if one is coming after you.

Silver Level(銀)

Recommended level:40


Level-Specific Notes:You are not allowed to solo Ichigaya Silver. The
                    game requires that you have at least one other person
                    with you. The reason will be explained later.


                     You can retrieve Correction CDs(修正CD) from
                     the three floors you can access from the elevator.
                     Each CD corresponds to a certain devil. However, these
                     CDs instead add devils instead of removing devils. This
                     is because the boss room itself only has the boss and
                     the mandatory Momunoffs. While a straight run to the
                     boss room may sound pleasing, this is not possible.
                     The game requires that you use at least one CD.
                     One extra type of devil is not that bad though, and
                     the treasure in the boss room will get better if you
                     use more CDs. You should only try this at higher
                     levels though.

                     You will find the following CDs on these floors:

                     B6-(グール)Ghoul or (トゥルダク)Turdak
                     B7-(コロンゾン)Koronzon or (ラフィンスカル)Laughing Skull
                     B8-(モウリョウ)Mouryuu or (スペクター)Specter

                     To go to a certain floor on the elevator, you must have
                     the proper Security Card. To get these cards, hit the
                     switch in the room that is before the elevator area
                     and five boxes should appear, each one holding a card
                     for a different floor. Usually there will be two
                     copies of one of three possible cards. Since a player
                     without the proper card, use the following method
                     to get your entire party to one floor:

                     1)Have two identical cards(ie two B6s or two B7s)
                     2)Have two players go down to the floor
                     3)Have one player give the other player his card
                     4)The player with two cards returns to the main
                       floor
                     5)That player passes one card to one other player
                       and holds on to his card
                     6)Both players go down to elevator
                     7)Repeat steps 3-6 until all players are on the same
                       floor


                     The system to get the CDs to appear is the same as
                     it is in Bronze, with one difference. When you hit
                     the switch, the door that leads to the CD opens, but
                     the door leading out of the area with the switch
                     closes. Flipping the switch again will cause the
                     doors to open and close respectively. You must split
                     up into two teams and leave one team behind to deal
                     with the switch.

                     While the door of the switch area is closed, special
                     versions of Momunoffs will appear to harrass the
                     team that stayed behind. These Momunoffs have well
                     over one thousand HP, are only worth a few experience
                     points, and infinitely spawns. Ignore them.

    *Note* Using four or more CDs will increase the chances of receiving

-Notes-

    This is not the dungeon to go to if you want to make money. Not only
is the cost of the plate high, but the treasure in the boss room is rather
measly if you don't use several CDs.

    If you plan to do a straight run to the boss room, you should get some
spare CDs from one run and use them for second and third runs.

Kagurazaka Suzaku Caverns(魔階カグラザカ朱雀洞)
======================================
======================================

Location:Ichigaya(イチガヤ) X26/Y15


Plates:Bought from the dungeon's Yagi Shop.


---------------
Bronze Level(鋼)
---------------

Recommended level:20-30


Level-Specific Notes: When you first look at the map of the first floor, you
                     will notice that there is no second teleportor. To
                     advance to the second floor, you need to talk to one
                     of three NPCs that are called 彷徨う魂. These souls
                     will unlock the second option on the beginning
                     teleportor. This option will take you to the second
                     floor. For confirmation's sake, here is what the
                     second option looks like:次のフロアに進む. The
                     first option will take you out of the dungeon.

                     The three NPCs are behind locked doors. To get to
                     them, you have to clear the room that is at
                     X13Y25. Clearing this room will also unlock the
                     treasure room on this floor.

                     The location of the souls are as follows:

                     X26Y15
                     X18Y23
                     X23Y22


Boss Room Notes:There are two variations to the boss room here. The normal
               version features Legion. Randomly, the boss will be Suzaku
               instead of Legion.

The Lost Angel:If you fulfill certain requirement, a special version of
              Angel called 迷子の天使 will appear on the second floor
              of the dungeon. These Angels are smaller then the
              regular versions, and will drop the Shining Feather.
              If you pass this item on to the Guard that is right
              outside the entrance to this dungeon, you will
              receive five hundred thousand experience.

              However, it is very difficult to kill this Angel. Not only
              does it negate all attacks at a high rate, but it will
              run away after being attacked for a while. The only
              way to effectively kill this Angel is by using the
              Megido series of spells. Even then, the Lost Angel might
              null the Megido spell.

              To get the Lost Angel to appear, you need three players
              who are level 20 to 30 in your party. Each of these
              players must talk to a different Soul while on the first
              floor. Be sure that you have all three pick the first
              option before picking the second conversation option
              with a Soul.

              Once that is done, up to five Lost Angels will appear
              on the second floor. Good luck.

    -Wing of Suzaku


-Notes-

    As long as you watch out for the Hakutakus that spawn in the different
rooms, you should be fine. All the other devils that spawn here are not
nearly as aggressive.

    The Legion in the boss room has a high amount of HP, but will only
use spells against you. As long as you can use Dodge in time, Legion will
be easy to beat. The same cannot be said for the Poltergeists. While the
minions are fairly tame, they will start using area spins if they are
attacked. Avoid using area attacks.

    Suzaku is a much tougher boss then Legion, and the Hakutakus that
spawn with it have no weaknesses. Avoid using area attacks.

Shinagawa Catacombs(魔階シナガワ神殿騎士廟)
==================================
==================================

Location:Shinagawa(シナガワ) X17/Y21


Plates:Bought from the dungeon's Yagi Shop.


Special Traits:There are two versions to the Bronze level of the Catacombs.
              If you create the dungeon at the New Moon, you will get
              a dungeon that will be filled with tougher Chaos devils.

              In each version of the dungeon, you will randomly come down
              with a status alignment. In the regular version of the
              Bronze level, you will come down with Bind, a aliment that
              keeps you from moving. In the New Moon version of Bronze, you
              will get Confusion, a move that lenghtens the recovery times
              of skills.

               On the second floor of the dungeon you will meet a NPC
               Archangel. If you are in the New Moon version, you will
               instead meet a NPC Artemis. Selecting 力を借りる with one
               of them will get you an Aura. The Archangel gives a
               Tranquil Aura, and the Artemis gives a Lamenting Aura.
               The Tranquil Aura prevents Confusion, while the Lamenting
               Aura prevents Bind. Both of these status boosts lasts for
               two hours.

               The treasure rooms in this dungeon only open if you have
               an Aura on you. What appears in the room depends on which
               Aura you have, and which version of the dungeon you are in.

*NOTE*

    If you open the treasure room door with the Tranquil Aura, you will

will get either a sub-boss or a special devil to appear.

can cost you your life in the boss room. Be sure to have a full stock of
Iwakura Waters (イワクラの水) handy. They can be bought from the Yagi shop
that is in this dungeon.

    If you talk to the Archangel while you have the Tranquil Aura still on
you from a previous run, you will get a special item. This item can be
traded for cash at Arcadia. The NPC will only take it from you if you
still have the Tranquil Aura. The NPC's coordinates are

-Notes-

    The Confusion is not detrimental to your fighting abilities. The charge
time is only noticable if you are using high-level magic spells. If you
feel like you need it, go ahead and keep a couple of dis-Charms on your
character.

     Many of the devils here are weak to either Fire or Wind. Keep the
proper machettes with you.

     If you talk to the Artemis while you still have the Lamenting Aura
from a previous run on you, you will receive one Crimson Stone. If a player
has twenty of these in his inventory when he creates a dungeon at
the Catacombs, that player will automatically make the New Moon version
of the dungeon. It will not matter what the Moon Phase is.

COMP-Hack

Location:Varies


Plates:To get the plates, you must get a Broken IC Chip
      (壊れたICチップ) and trade for a Hack-Chip A(Hackチップ-A).
      To trade the chips, go to either the Virtual Girl in Third Home
      or the Innocent in Shinjuku's Central Command and select
      COMPの調子について.

      IC-Chips are randomly dropped by:

      -Poltergiests(Shinjuku Docks only)
      -The Floating Gun Turrets(Found In Shinjuku Docks, South Area)
      -Giant Cait Siths(Suginami Area)

      Now that you have your Hack-A chips, go to the proper NPC and
      select COMPの調子について. After you hit the confirmation message, you
      will be sent into the dungeon. Each dungeon here is only one to
      three rooms. To move between rooms, click on the green object
      that appears after you clear a room.

      The treasure for clearing these mini-dungeons is unlike the prizes
      from regular private dungeons. You will get a COMP修正データ. Each
      NPC has their own version of this item. Talk to the NPC once more
      while you have the item in your inventory and you will be able
      to receive one devil. Obviously, if you do not a slot in your
      COMP, you cannot get a devil. Each NPC will give you different
      devils.

Location:Third Home(第三ホーム) X20Y19

Level-specific notes:When you enter this dungeon, you will be hit with
                    the Virus status alignment. Virus is essentially
                    Poison, and will stay with you until you leave
                    the dungeon.

                    If you or your devil do not have access to the
                    four elemental magic spells(Fire, Ice, Lightning, Wind)
                    then I cannot reccommend you attempt this dungeon.

                    The Kodamas in the second room will spawn two minutes
                    after you enter the room. Be patient and wait.

-Room One-

Electric Fairy Pixie

  -Weakness:---
  -Resistance:---
  -Negates:---
  -Reflects:---


    These Pixies will drop magic stones. If ignored my advice and entered
without any magic, pick these up and use them in the next room. Also, these
Pixies will spawn once more if you do not finish all of them off in a set
amount of time.

-Room Two-

[Devils]

Noise of the World Wide Tree Kodamas

  -Weakness:---
  -Resistance:---
  -Negates:All melee-based attacks & one of the four base elements
  -Reflects:---


    Four of these Kodamas appear in Room Two. There will negate melee
attacks and one of the four elementals. Which one they negate depends on
which element they use. The Kodama using Blizzard Cannon will negate Ice
attacks, the Kodama using Hurricane Cannon will negate Wind, and so forth.
As with the Pixies in Room One, these Kodamas will spawn again if you do
not finish them off in a set amount of time.

-Notes-

    Despite the time limitations, this dungeon is still easy, as long as
you have a mid-sized party. However, most of the devils you receive are
regular field devils. The Undeveloped Hathor is very good though, since she
learns Megido at level thirty-five. Do this dungeon if you are after the
rare Undeveloped Hathor or Storm Pixie. Otherwise spend your chips elsewhere.

    When you report to Hasegawa, your currently summoned devil will
receive seventy thousand experience points.

-Notes-

    Do not come here if you care about your experience points. Unless you
have a party member that has a high Class in the Enhancement chain
expert or have defensive incenses like the Vitality Incense(体力の香)
or the Guard Incense(堅守の香), you will die. Luckily, it is impossible
to go below zero percent and de-level, so enjoy this dungeon when
you just leveled up.

    That being said, the special devils you receive here more then make
up for the pain you had to deal with. The undeveloped devils start out
with Hellfire or Shock, and will learn dyne level spells after leveling
up ten to fifteen levels. If you are trying for the ultimate mage
devil, this is the place to start gathering materials.


\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\G1 Trials\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

    G1 Trials are time attacks for the private dungeons. Everything
G1-related is handled by the red-colored goatman that can be found
in most dungeons.

    To try a G1 Trial, you must buy a stopwatch from the red goatman.
Each dungeon level has their own stopwatch, and they cannot be used when
creating other dungeon levels. When you select the dungeon you want to
run, you will be prompted and asked if you want to use a stopwatch. This
prompt appears regardless of whether you have a stopwatch or not. Select
the second option and your dungeon run will now be timed.

    Once your objective has been completed and you have left the
dungeon, you must now report your time to the red goatman. Select
タイムを報告する and you will receive a tickets. If you got the A rank for
the first time in a dungeon, you will receive a talisman instead.
The talisman reduces your defenses, but allows you to do more damage
to the devil that appears on the talisman.

    You must report your time, or the game will not allow you to enter
another G1 Trial. Keep this in mind when in a party.

    Each dungeon that has a G1 Trial will have their own ticket. You
may use these tickets at the appropriate dungeon to trade for prizes. The
number of tickets you get per run will go down as your time rank goes
lower. The maximum amount you get per run is four to six.

\\\Tips on joining Japanese parties\\\
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

    While there are fellow English players in this game, you stand a
better chance of finding a hunting party if you tap into the large
reserve of Japanese players. Not being able to communicate is a problem
to say the least. Although the Japanese school system mandates education
in the English language, fluency is rare considering that there are not
that many places to practice the language.

    Here, I will explain how to post a listing for parties, how to
answer to a listing, and tips on how to get along with your foreign
party members.

-----------------------
The Party List(パーティリスト)
-----------------------

    The Party List can be found under the COMM tab, one of the tabs that
is at the lower-right hand corner of your screen. The listings here
state the purpose of the listing, the place it takes place in, and the
name of the person who posted the listing. Since this board is also used
for clan membership drives and other social activities, try looking for
listings that have the name of dungeons on them.

    If you want to respond to a listing, select 申し込み from the bottom
of the listing and input a short message. I will explain what information
you need in a later section. For now, be sure to be on the same channel
as the person you are responding to. Most listings have a Channel number
in their messages, so look for that.

-How to post your own dungeon listing-

   To make your own listing, click 新発録. 場所名 the area where you
put in which dungeon you want to go to. Just select the dungeon and level
from the drop-down list that appears. 目的 is purpose. Since you want
to go to a dungeon to level up, select キャラクタ成育(Character Raising).
Finally, the bottom box is for the message. I will discuss what you should
place here in the next section.

    Once you are done, select. If you want to take down your
listing, double-click your listing and then select 発録の取り消し from the
bottom.

     Responses to your listing will come in your Mailbox. Whenever you get
a response, a blinking green envelope will appear over the COM tab. Your box
is under the COMM tab, and is accessible by hitting the button that has
an exclamation point on it. Once in, click the bubble that is next to
パーティ and you should see some mail. Open up the mail and you can add the
person by selecting 勧誘 from the bottom of the letter.

-What to put into your listing/message-

    First off, you should explain that you do not know the language.
Although most players will be too busy with the dungeon to chat, you
ought to inform your fellow players beforehand in order to avoid
any complications beforehand. You should also mention your level, character
type, and what channel you are on. Channel information can be omitted
if you are responding to a listing.

    If you are creating a listing,  here are some phrases that may
help you:

X週をまわる予定:Scheduled for X number of runs.

         -The normal amount of runs is around five non-stop. That usually
          takes about a hour and twenty minutes. Be sure to select an
          amount of time where you will not step away from the computer.

プレート自負:Will pay for all plates.

      -This is an expensive offer, but including this line will help
       you get party members even if you are weak. You still have to
       participate in the fights though. If you do not include this
       line, it is generally assumed that party members will take turns
       buying plates.

XCH移動後申し込みから: Respond by mail after moving to Channel X.

             -This is absolutely necessary. A good deal of confusion can
              be avoided.


-Chat phrases-

    There is some chatting going around, and knowing some phrases will
help when emergencies come up. Even if there are no emergencies, knowing
some of the basic polite terms will help keep you on your party members'
good side.

よろしくお願いします:My regards.

       -A typical greeting for when you add someone to the party.

お疲れ様でした:Nice work.

       -Use this when you finish one dungeon run.

足を使っていいですか? May I use a Swift Jewel?

      -You are more likely to hear this from Japanese players who have
       access to CP. The Swift Jewels allows any player that is close
       vicinity of the user to gain 1.5 times their normal walking speed.
       This effect lasts for a hour, and will be temporarily disabled when
       you charge a skill or enter a battle. If someone were to use
       this, expect your hunt to go until the item's effect wears off.

すいません、急用が出来てしまったので:I'm sorry, but something urgent came up.

       -In case a family emergency comes up, use this term and then try
        to explain what happened. Your fellow party members will not
        get angry if it truly is an emergency.

すいません、トイレに...:I'm sorry, I need to use the toilet.

        -Normally, you should handle such business before starting
         a set of dungeon runs. But if you absolutely have to go, give
        a quick notice and finish up quickly.

PTありがとうございました:Thank you for the hunt.

        -Use this at the end of the final run.

-Manners-

    As with any party, there are certain things you must not do. Since
there is a language barrier, this is even more important. Here are some
things you should avoid doing.


*Avoid poor grammar and chat room language.

    This is to help facilitate communication. Chances are, you will not
dealing with people who only have a partial understanding of English. They
will have a harder time deriving your meaning. Use proper end punctuations
and avoid acronyms such as AFK or LOL. As far as I know, Japanese chat
room language uses a different set of abbreviations.

*Do not go AFK once you have started gathering a party.

    During dungeon runs, players are using experience boosters, Speed
Neclaces, and other CP items that have time limits on them. They want
to get the most out of their Item Shop purchases, and being forced to
wait ten minutes for a person to come back. Expect to be left behind
if you do this. If it is an emergency, just explain the situation and
leave the party.

*Do not be a leech.

    If you are a low level character, it cannot be helped that you cannot
fight as well as others. That does not mean you should just stay in the
back and have experience flow to you. Help out in someway, even if it
is just using healing items.

*No not use weak area attacks.

    Area attacks such as the Maha-spells should be avoided unless you
can do damage that is in the hundreds. Area attacks scatter enemies, causes
all of those hit to become aggresive, and will break any combo chains a
fighter was in the middle of. If your area spells are just doing a measly
ten or twenty damage, remove them from your hotkey bank.

*Do not do anything that falls outside of the scope of experience hunts.

    This includes trying to capture devils and placing more priority on
raising your Expert levels then hunting. As I mentioned above, players
are using time-limited CP items, and do not wish to waste them. Even
if they are not using CP items, players will just get annoyed by having
to wait and watch you try to catch something.

*Do not come unprepared for a dungeon.

    This one only applies to dungeons like Suginami Gold. In these
dungeons, where every player must carry his own weight, you cannot expect
to be able to join such a dungeon with only one weapon type.

    On party listings, if you see a a skill name in the message, that is
a good indicator that the person is creating a power party. Avoid them
if you want to take a more relaxed stance in the dungeon.
