• Consuming Trailblaze Power on activities for ascension items.

2) Daily missions

Do not underestimate the value of daily missions in the game's early stages, as each section grants a total of 260 EXP on completion. By accumulating 500 Activity Points, you can gain around 1300 EXP every day. This method should be your priority after reset, as the missions tied to daily activities include basic tasks such as:

• Completing daily missions.
• Taking photos.
• Completing calyxes.
• Performing tasks within battles.
