Town

The Town serves as your main hub in.

Expedition Center
The Expedition Center is the Corps Crew's recruiting center and is home to Mark, a shrewd Veteran of the Corps. Here, you can recruit and manage Corps members.
 * Characters appear at random. Characters of the same profession might have different starting skills.
 * Recruiting characters costs Gold with lower level characters costing less.
 * Expanding recruitment at the Support Lab lets higher level "Senior" characters appear for hire.
 * Managing Corps members lets you select skills, change equipped items and rename characters.
 * Hiring a Corps member counts positively towards your Doomsday Clock
 * Dismissing a Corps member counts negatively towards your Doomsday Clock

Training Camp
The Training Camp is where you go to train skills, learn new ones, and modify Jinxes. Here you'll find Adel, the Corp's skill trainer.
 * Leveling a skill costs SP, which are gained through leveling up, and Gold with an increasing Gold cost each level.
 * Some Skills, like the Sister's Purifying Mist, have bonus effects when you level them up. In the case of the Sister, leveling Purifying Mist increases its area of effect from single target to multi target.
 * Learning a new skill costs SP and requires you to have a Crew member who already knows the Skill. Learning a skill from a Crew member dismisses them (A learns [skill] from B, B gets dismissed) but does not count negatively towards your Doomsday Clock.
 * Modifying a Jinx costs Gold and one Purified Mist. These items are rare, so decide carefully if a Jinx is worth removing.

Alchemy Workshop
The Alchemy Workshop is for evaluating and fusing items. Katharina and her cat Steffen live here, where they preform experiments to their leisure.
 * Evaluating equipment costs gold and one Mist of the same type. The number of bonus traits is based on the quality of the item, Rare having 1 bonus trait and Epic having 2.
 * Bonus traits can increase any stat including Specialties and Resistances.
 * Combining Rare and Epic items can increase bonus traits if both items share the same bonus trait.
 * Fusing equipment increases the item's base stats but only chooses one stat to raise at a time. Weapons can increase base ATK, CRI, and HIT while Armor can increase HP, EVD, and GRD.
 * Fusing Accessories increases the positive stats of Accessories but only if you combine with another Accessory that shares the stat increase.
 * Fusing equipment costs gold and one Essense of the same type. Fusing 2 items of different types costs an Essence of the item you are fusing to.
 * Equipment can be fused a limited number of times. Common is 3, Rare is 6, Epic is 9. The maximum number of fuses can be increased through other means

Support Lab
The Support lab is a trade in store that deals in Journals. Bring Olivia enough Journals and she will increase certain non combat stats.
 * Journals can be found from Treasure Chests and Debris.
 * The amount of Journals required to level each stat increases per level.
 * Increase maximum Fullness and Luminosity.
 * Increase max Corps Crew members and increase max level of Recruits.
 * Increase expedition bag space and Town Storage space.
 * Increase EXP and Gold after winning battles.

 * You can access all of your items from the Town Storage.
 * Gear can be equipped from the Storage.
 * There is a limit on how much you can keep in Storage. Be sure to sell unused items at the Shop.
