Wizardry Variants Daphne collab guide

[Alhanelem]

So the collab event in Wizardry Variants Daphne (a mobile game in the Wizardry franchise) started today. I've been playing the game a bit and aside from having your typical gacha mechanics it's pretty good honestly. Here's what's in the event since SE never made another post about it-

• Prishe, Zeid, and Iroha added to the game as playable characters with their own unique classes (Cait Sith also appears)
• special quest and side storyline
• event dungeon based on Castle Zvhal
• Enemies in the dungeon drop "dynamis" currency which can be exchanged to create weapons based on the FFXI relic weapons
• "Notorious monsters," and special battle mechanics based on FFXI within the dungeon (enmity, linking, skillchains, etc). Some FFXI enemies appear (such as the demons the castle is known for), and FFXI sounds and music.

The game doesn't explain it that well so here's what you need to do.
To get the event quest you need to have been through the first few floors of the Beginning Abyss. An event scene will automatically trigger upon returning to town once you're eligible (it will probably take you a few hours if you're slow).
Once that happens, talk to everyone in town and then when you open the world map, a new town will appear. Go there, talk to everyone, and then when you check the map, the dungeon entrance will show up on the map.


Once you get the quest above (you don't have to complete it) you will be able to receive your choice of one of the three FFXI characters, or one of three other Wizardry heroes if for some reason you don't want them, for free by entering the Beginning Abyss via the entrance, entering the first dungeon floor (B1F) and you'll find an NPC near the entrance that will give you the item to summon the character of your choice. The others you don't select, unfortunately, will only be available from the game's gacha mechanics. (Note this game uses a first person perspective from the player character. Other characters appear behind and jump on screen when they act).

I'm thinking the Wizardry team approached SE about this collab because the game uses a six-character party much like FFXI does so they thought it would be a good fit (I'd agree with that notion).

If FFXI is going to do anything in turn, they haven't announced it.
