Ignition Delver

“ Just another day on the job. The riches below ain't gonna extract themselves now, are they? ”

― Origin description

Ignition Delver is a PvE-focused origin, highly favoring, but not mandating completing Jobs and Dungeons for experience gain.

Obtainment[]

Ignition Delver has two obtainment methods:

You must save Epsi in Floor 1 of the Second Layer of the Depths and report to Alpha afterwards.

Alternatively, You can also complete the Summer Goons quest and return to Orion to obtain the Origin.

Spawn[]

Delvers spawn with the Union Initiate Outfit equipped, 25 , and the Union Card, Union Pager, and Union Hook Talents. You can choose to spawn at either Miner's Landing or the Chariot's Spire by clicking their respective icons in Character Creation.

Effects[]

All necessities at the Chariot's Spire will be accessible to you such as the banker, stove, and antiquarian. Additionally, you can use the Hollow Forge at the Chariot's Spire or Miner's Landing to melt down Pluripotent Alloys into Smith's Alloys or Armorer's Needles or turn Smith's Alloys into Armorer's Needles and vice versa.

If you escape the Second Layer through the Deep Drill, you will be able to use the Deep Drill at Chariot's Spire to re-enter the Second Layer. This will spawn you at The Frontier Furnace with the power already turned on, skipping the Bone Keeper fight. You will not have a Light Hook if you do this.

Allows you to use all necessities at the Chariot's Spire such as the Banker, stove, and Antiquarian.
- However, you still won't be able to enter the Chariot's Spire through the main entrance way if you've drowned, unlike Deepbound.
The Hollow Forge is an exceptionally useful item for transfusing unused relics into ones that are more desirable.

Cons[]

Reduced EXP gain from non-Job or Dungeon sources: Bosses/Random Encounters/Bounty Hunting/Quests.
- There aren't many mid-game progression dungeons, so for most exp gain, if you're not skilled enough to take on end-game dungeons, you're gonna have to either farm Bosses or Jobs.
