New Area and Main Quest

Train of Souls is a wartime military train transformed by Somnoire's power into a luxurious, dream-like space. Passengers have lost most memories and share a single wish: to go home. Reach the location during Main Quest Chapter IV Act V, A Bouquet for Tomorrow.

The new main quest is permanently available after the update for players who complete Chapter IV Act IV Simulacrum of the Heart.

F2P and Low-Spend Planning

No pull rates or pity details are stated in official materials for Version 3.8. If you are targeting Lily, prioritize saving Astrite from the login events and limited-time modes. The Gifts of Bygone Dreams and Whither the Wind login events offer additional rewards, but exact amounts are not stated in official materials.

Takeaway
