Finding Millie
If you have Ashlay or Ioshua in your party, you’ll find Millie immediately upon landing in Eckdart. If you have them both in your party, Millie will join later in Silvalant. Just head to the inn to find her. 

Once you’re in Eckdart, explore the town and check out the shops. There are some new Skills (Sense 3, Technical 3) at the guild so make sure to grab them when you have the chance. Sense 3 includes a wonderful skill called Aesthetic Design that increases your major stats at once. It also includes Effort skill that lowers the required EXP to level up; not to mention that it unlocks the Train Specialty.

Take note of the Item Shop here that sells various musical instruments. This is the only shop where you can buy all types of instruments in one spot. You’ll need to return here later to buy more instruments so you can use the Orchestra Super Specialty.

Also, in the town square, buy a Keen Kitchen Knife from Oroshi the Peddler, in the upper right corner. This Support Equipment increases the chances of success for Cooking and Master Chef Specialties. One of the homes in the upper right has a chest that contains Spectacles. Once done, you can now leave the town.

Story Progress
Your next stop is Ionis. To reach it, simply leave Eckdart and follow the road. You’ll find this city along the way. 

Mt. Eckdart Exploration

If you have Ioshua in your party, you can take a little detour to an optional stage where you can get great Equipment for him and your party. Exit the town and follow the dirt road leading to the red mountain, on the western side of the town near the cliffs by the sea.

Training Tip

The enemies in the world map of this continent are fairly powerful early on so it’s recommended to train a bit and level up. You can always train outside town for a bit. Have everybody learn the Train Specialty by leveling up Effort, Determination and Resilience to increase the EXP they get every battle. Also, having more characters learn it unlocks the Enlightenment Super Specialty which rewards a lot more skill points every level up. Use this to boost your SP and levels in a fairly short amount of time.

Have someone level up their Danger Radar skill to unlock the Scouting Specialty. When training, you can set it to Look for Enemies so you can have more frequent battles. Stay near the town so you can go back and rest at the inn whenever you need to.
