Area Conquest & achievements

One window, two systems. Nine regions with a completion bar each, where every ten per cent pays out and the top of a bar is worth a top-grade Zard and a five-socket relic. And a second half that ticks over on its own as you level — which is where a free Elite 1 set and most of a Mayan stockpile come from.

The window

What is behind the J key

Area Conquest is the game's achievement board, and it is split into two halves that behave quite differently. Most people only ever read the first one.

Area Conquest · 277 entries

Nine regions — Forest of Beasts, Etherain Sewer, Frozen Palace, Valley of the Dragonkin, Aiort Graveyard, Helron’s Castle, Green Earth, Shelter for Spirits and the Boreas Mountains. Each has its own bar and its own ten-step reward ladder, and this is the half you go and do deliberately.

Accomplishment · 688 entries

Five lists that tick over as you play — Achievement, Chaos Zone, Fame, Battle Zone and Event. There is no completion bar here; entries simply unlock as you meet them. The level milestones live in this half, and they are the single most valuable thing in the window.

1
Press J
That is the default binding for the Area Conquest window; J toggles it. It can be rebound in the key settings like anything else.
2
Pick a region
The tabs filter to All, In Progress or Complete, which is the fastest way to see what is left in a region you have half finished.
3
Do the tasks
They tick over on their own as you play — nothing needs accepting first. A task you have met shows as ready.
4
Claim each one
Rewards are not automatic. Claiming a task is what adds its share to the region bar, so an unclaimed pile of finished tasks is a bar that has stopped moving.

Not every entry pays. Of the 965 in the window, 480 hand over something, 187 exist only to move a region bar, and 294 are a record and nothing more — the Equipment Grade chain up to 10,000 points, most of the Fame list, the “equip a full set” entries at every tier. The window will still light up a Reward button on those; it just has nothing to give you.

How the bar works

Twenty-one tasks, adding up to exactly one hundred per cent

Each region's ordinary tasks are worth a fixed slice of that region, and the slices are not equal — clearing the main mission is worth eight per cent, collecting ten trophies is worth two.

Collect an item

Treasure keys, maps, monster trophies — usually ten of something the region's mobs drop.

Kill a named monster

The region's bosses, its lucky monsters and its captains, each its own task.

Clear the main mission

The region's headline instance. Worth one of the larger slices of the bar.

Clear a sub mission

Each of the region's smaller instances counts separately.

Finish quests in the region

A count of completed quests rather than any particular one.

Clear the Cursed Tower

Where the region has a tower floor attached to it.

Gather

Collection nodes out in the field, not monster drops.

Reach a completion mark

The ten milestone entries. These are what actually pay items.

Claim all of them — twenty to twenty-two depending on the region — and it reads one hundred per cent. Ten further entries sit alongside them, one at each ten per cent mark, and those are the ones that pay an item rather than a slice of the bar.

The payouts

What each ten per cent is worth

The Forest of Beasts ladder in full — the first and smallest of the nine. Every other region runs the same ten steps with bigger numbers and better versions of the same items.

Mark	Reward	Heim
10%	Rejuvenation Potion ×10	5,500
20%	Berserk, Awakening and Sprint Potion — ×10 of each	8,500
30%	Extra Stone	13,900
40%	Heim Coin ×10	21,700
50%	Photon ×20	31,900
60%	Ring of Beasts and Necklace of Beasts, both	44,500
70%	A High-grade Zard box	59,500
80%	Stat Point Up	76,900
90%	Holy Book of Hermetism — 4 or 5 sockets	96,700
100%	Slime King, a pet	118,900

Nothing on a ladder is a dead step — all ten pay in all nine regions, and none of them asks you to choose: every mark hands over everything listed. The heim scales hard with the region, from 5,500 at the Forest's first mark to 223,677,600 at the Boreas Mountains' last.

Region by region

How the same ten steps escalate

The shape never changes — enchant material at fifty, an accessory at sixty, a jewel at seventy, sockets at ninety, the payoff at a hundred. What changes is which version of each you get.

Region	50% — enchanting	60%	70% — jewels	100%
Forest of Beasts	Photon ×20	Ring + Necklace of Beasts	High-grade Zard box	Slime King
Etherain Sewer	Photon ×40	O'Neil's Ring + Necklace	Highest-grade Zard box	Contaminated Spider
Frozen Palace	Photon ×60	Snowflower Ring + Necklace	Highest-grade Zard box	Ice Queen
Valley of the Dragonkin	Packing Photon ×20	Ring + Necklace of Flames	Highest-grade ×2	Golden Cherry Dragon
Aiort Graveyard	Packing Photon ×40	Ring + Necklace of the Altar	Highest-grade ×2	Fimbulbert
Helron's Castle	Packing Photon ×60	Cursed Tower Seal Set	Highest-grade ×3	Tainted Mutant
Green Earth	Trans Photon ×10	Supply Box + 3 Blessings	Synthesis ×3 + 3 stones	111,838,800 heim
Shelter for Spirits	Trans Photon ×20	Supply Box + 6 Blessings	Synthesis ×4 + 3 stones	111,838,800 heim
Boreas Mountains	Extra Photon ×10	Supply Box + 9 Blessings	Synthesis ×4 + 3 stones	223,677,600 heim

Ninety per cent is the one mark that is the same everywhere: a Holy Book of Hermetism with four or five sockets, in all nine regions. From the Valley of the Dragonkin onward it arrives with a stack of Crystals of Protection and Destruction as well — Lv.1 at first, Lv.2 in Green Earth and the Shelter, Lv.3 in the Boreas Mountains, where it also brings two Spirit Stones of Crimson.

The reason to do it

The top of a bar is worth more than the whole of the rest

The last three marks are where Area Conquest stops being pocket money. Two of them are the only reliable source in the game for what they hand over.

At 70%

A top-grade Zard

A box holding one random jewel, and the count climbs with the region. The Forest of Beasts pays one High grade box; the next five pay one to three Highest; the last three pay three or four Highest-grade Synthesis boxes — jewels carrying two options at once — plus three extraction stones to move them.

At 90%

Four or five sockets

The Holy Book of Hermetism, rolled with four or five sockets — every region, guaranteed. On a normal drop a five-socket item is one in a thousand, so this is the shortcut to somewhere to put those jewels. From the Dragonkin on it brings awakening crystals with it.

At 100%

A pet, or a fortune

The first six regions each finish on a pet — Slime King, Contaminated Spider, Golden Cherry Dragon, Fimbulbert and the rest. Green Earth, the Shelter and the Boreas Mountains finish on heim instead: 111 million each for the first two and 223 million for the last.

Taken together that is the argument for finishing a region rather than grazing it: seventy per cent for the jewel, ninety for somewhere to socket it, a hundred for a pet or a bank balance. And the fifty per cent mark quietly hands out enchant material every time — twenty Photons in the Forest, and ten Extra Photons in the Boreas Mountains, which is the only place in the game that gives you the +13-and-up material in bulk.

The other half

The level milestones pay better than anything you go and do

Behind the Achievement tab is a row for every ten levels, and from sixty upward they are not decorative. They hand over a complete Elite 1 weapon and armour set, an Elite 1.5 weapon, and — quietly, at every milestone — a parcel of the crafting material the whole Elite ladder runs on.

Black Wing

Level 100

Your class's own wings — and not just for looks: they add 30 Intellect, 1,000 maximum HP, 10 skill damage and a little movement speed. Eight versions, one per class.

Elite 1 weapon

Level 110

Both of your class's E-1 weapon entries at once. The first rung of the ladder you never replace.

Elite 1 armour

Levels 120 & 130

Four pieces at 120, the other four at 130. A complete eight-piece Elite 1 set for nothing.

Mayan material

Levels 60 – 170

A parcel at every milestone from 60, and Lv.3 jewels at every single level from 161 to 170.

Level	What lands in your bag
60 · 70 · 80 · 90	4 × Lv.2 Mayan Jewel, 4 × Lv.2 Mayan Metal, 2 × Lv.3 Jewel, 2 × Lv.3 Metal	Every ten levels
100	Your class’s Black Wing — plus the same Mayan parcel	Wings
110	Your class’s Elite 1 weapon, both entries — plus the same Mayan parcel	Free E-1
120	Four Elite 1 armour pieces — protector, gloves, belt, shirt	Free E-1
130	The other four — chest, helmet, pants, boots	Free E-1
140	Your class’s Elite 1.5 weapon, both entries, and 5 × Lv.2 Mayan Jewel	Free E-1.5
150	5 × Lv.3 Mayan Jewel and a Kalbus’s Cut-off Arm	Mayans
155 · 160	5 × Lv.3 Mayan Jewel	Mayans
161 – 170	2 × Lv.3 Mayan Jewel, at every single level	Mayans

Levels 10 to 50 are entries with no reward, and so are 171 to 177 — the ladder stops paying before the cap. Everything above is per character, not per account, and nothing here needs claiming from an NPC: it is the same Reward button as the rest of the window.

The gear

A free Elite 1 set at 110 – 130

It is worth being blunt about this, because the crafting guide is not the whole story: reach level 130 and the game gives you a complete Elite 1 set and its weapon, free, with no materials and no failure chance. It arrives plain — +0 and unsocketed — exactly as a crafted one would.

What you buy by crafting is time. An E-1 piece is wearable at 68 and the set completes at 73; waiting for the milestones means going from 73 to 130 in whatever you can scavenge. Sixty levels is a long time to be undergeared, and Elite 1 is the tier every later tier is built out of — so the piece you make at 68 is the one you are still wearing at 146.

The material

The largest Mayan source in the game

Add the milestones up and a character who reaches 170 has been handed 29 Lv.2 Mayan Jewels, 24 Lv.2 Metals, 47 Lv.3 Jewels and 12 Lv.3 Metals — for levelling and nothing else.

Lv.3 is the rung the Elite recipes actually ask for, and it costs about twenty-five online points and two combines to make any other way. The jewels come far faster than the metals, so metal stays the thing you plan around.

The rest of the board

Four more lists, and what they are actually worth

The Accomplishment half has five tabs. One of them is the level ladder above; these are the other four.

Achievement

Besides the levels, this tab holds a potion chain that pays you in potions — drink ten Lv.1 and it gives ten Lv.2, and it ladders all the way to 255 Recovery Potion Lv.6 for drinking a thousand Lv.5. It also holds the Equipment Grade chain, where only the 15,000, 20,000 and 30,000 marks pay anything, and they pay titles: Psychic, Transcendent, The Absolute.

World Ranking

Sixteen entries counting the firecrackers a world-ranking win hands you. They pay in heim and they do not mess about: 50 million for the second, rising to 400 million for the fiftieth, with titles at one, ten, thirty and fifty — Rank 1, Champion, World Champion, Special One.

Battle Zone

The campaign, step by step. Each stage of a region’s story pays 100,000 heim and a Certificate of the Liberation Army; finishing the region pays 500,000 and a Qualification. In the last three regions those become a million heim and an Ardor Expedition certificate, with five million experience for the region itself. The Nightmare trials pay titles.

Chaos Zone & Fame

Battlefield wins pay a million heim per hundred, up to four million at four hundred, then a title at five hundred — on each of Zapir, Frost and the Tomb of Desire separately. The arena chain pays potions, invitations and a class skin box. Fame is titles almost end to end, and half of its entries pay nothing at all.

A fifth tab, Event, holds twenty-two entries keyed on seasonal tokens. They are always listed and they fill in when an event that hands out those tokens is running.
