Miglancian Magic?

[J.D.]

Some time ago, I completed my first episode. I kept getting a resource called Miglancian Magic. It's mentioned in the story, but... What does it actually do? I saw the amount of it in the episodes menu go up and up (now over 20,000 I think); but I didn't actually see it do anything.

Thanks

2 things. First, a long time ago it was a necessary part of progression to just farm up certain amounts of an episode specific currency just to progress said episode. Those requirements have been lowered by quite a bit so it's unlikely you needed to farm much if at all to progress/complete it.

Second, is rewards, by acquiring a certain amount total of an episode's currency, you get rewards put into your mailbox. For Two Knight's Miglancian Magic you can keep collecting them all the way up to 630,000. The full rewardlist for Miglancian Magic can by found by going to Menu->Records->Episodes->Two Knights and the Holy Sword(far right) scrolling down and clicking on "Miglance Labyrinth Miglancian Magic Rwd. List. Alternatively the Another Eden Wiki has a page for it at
https://anothereden.wiki/w/Two_Knights_and_the_Holy_Sword
Midway through that page you'll see Miglancian Magic Rewards List, just click expand and you'll see the list there.

Notable rewards for most epsisodes(and symphonies) include Chrono Stones, Class Scrolls, Luring Shadow/Guiding Light(weapon type) items, Murmur/Prayer Scripts, and the rarest item being Chant Scripts. At 50,000 Miglancing Magic there is a guaranteed Sword Master Tome, which can be used to upgrade a 3.5 character to 4 stars if their 4 star class name is Sword Master, which includes the main character Aldo unless you already lucked out and got said tome from an Another Dungeon run.

An episode's currency can be farmed by either killing monsters in the the unlocked areas, or more quickly through the related AD. Some episodes offload their episode specific grind to something else related to said episode. Having certain characters in your party will speed up farming, and if you do it through the AD, having a related free/story character in your party has a chance of increasing their personal Luring Shadow/Guiding Light. For example Deidre will gain Shadow in the Miglance Labyrinth AD, and Aldo will gain Light in the Miglance Castle AD.

Ahhhh... So the rewards are in mailbox. The things I miss, lol.

Whoa! That's really surprising, partly because Guiding Light & Shadow have seemed like really rare stuff which I can only remember getting from one-time stuff like quests and tomes, and partly because Miglance Castle AD is precisely the AD I've recently been playing the most because it drops the highest level equipment that I can farm (as in, I can see even higher level equipment in blacksmith, but can't actually make any of them because they call for materials dropped in areas that I haven't unlocked yet).

Well... Take that with a grain of salt. I don't actually have all that much time for this game, so even though it's currently my main materials farming spot, the number of times I've played through Miglance Castle AD isn't all that large...

Thanks for the info

They are annoyingly purposefully obtuse about grind areas for free units' L/S. There is a wiki that will help you with this, but I think the devs' worst treatment of the game is the non-existent visible loot tables and L/S spots.
Not all units have a dedicated spot for L/S grind but either one is there immediately, or it is added later on (up to years later), or you can use the recently added Toto Theater World dungeon that has similar rules but works for everyone!

There's people who grind Miglance Castle VH AD hundreds of times to max Aldo's Light, but to be clear, the only critical number is 80, then its good to reach 120 and 200 sometime, and the max 255 is super optional.
The downside is that besides the initial gear materials, Aldo Light, and maybe specific Tomes, there's nothing uniquely interesting there. You're eventually just doing the same thing over and over hundreds of times over days to months (depending on Red Key stockpile) JUST to True 100% the protagonist in this case. When.. otherwise you could stop at 80+ and wait for some future content/system one day that buffs L/S acquisition.

Gacha characters require specific unit dupes from the gacha, or the very rare L/S items, yes. Over months of play you'll get various dupes, and over years of play you should get a good number of 5stars with very high L/S, even without dumping items into them. But the system is made so that a regular F2Per shouldn't have much hope of getting any 5star to 255 L/S (without items) any time soon after starting playing. You don't need the 255. 50 is good, 100 is great, 150 is very useful, 200 is not needed but feels good, ~255 is just a weird super-extra.
