Intro

You're new to the game, you have no idea wtf you need to do? Well this guide is for you then.

This guide will assume that you’re a free 2 play player and that you have no friends (sadface) to help you. Also this is based on the “current meta” of released digis.

You can do whatever you think is right, but I'll tell you the most optimal way to transition into a good overall level where you can have everything later on.

I also highly recommend joining a Guild which in most cases will help if you need them, such as Raids or Dungeon or giving you more tips.

Also be sure to check this: Guide for Newbies for a more detailed stuff on how to earn money, transcend etc.

First Steps

You made your character, you finished the tutorial. Now what?

  • Enter City of Beginnings, you will get some helpful Items after completing all Quests on the Map. (DMW Village, the Portal behind the Birdramon NPC)
  • Start the Novice Questline which starts at the Koromon/Tsunomon Npc in DMW Village. More infos to this Questline is below also with some important rewards you get from there
  • Go to Dats Center (with the Phonebooth NPC) and get access to the D-Terminal (Megumi NPC) after that you can start doing Quests on various Maps.
  • Your primary focus should be to finish all the main quests on the following maps (Maze Entrance, File Island, Glacier(includes sub quests), Server continent), starting with File Island to unlock Server Continent which will open your way to Verdandi and the Tokyo Area. Once you have a Digimon at Lv100 you can also start doing Quests in Shinjuku, this is important to unlock the Digital Area, one of the best way to farm tera.

After you finish everything here you’ll have good rewards in your inventory waiting to be used, but who do you use it on. You only have your starter digi or maybe you’ve hatched something but you’re not sure if you should use it on that digi. Your tamer is also above level 90 by now. But what next? Well, ask yourself, how do you want to earn money? How do you want to play the game? What do you want to do?

Digimons to aim for!

  • Farming Digimon

One of first few Digimons that you should be aiming for is a farming digimon that can make your life easier for gain some quick tera or attending some events. You have choice between 3 Digimons Sleipmon X, Beelzemon X, Aegisdramon.

Lets talk about the advantages and disadvantages b/w the above 3 so you can make a better decision yourself. Aegisdramon is probably going to be the one digimon whom you will encounter the most in the game currently, he has decently high attack range but his strength lies in his faster attack speed. But to fully utilize Aegisdramon you would require atleast a deck buff with 15% attack speed.(which might take a while depending on your progression speed). Aegis also has a lower base attack, so you might find yourself not landing the one hit kills if you are not geared enough, he also has slightly lower attack range and costs 69 crowns more than the other two. I know that the amount of cons seems to be a lot but once Aegis gets going at its full power, he is significantly better than the other two.

Now between Sleipmon X and Beelzemon X, they are roughly the same both costing a 98c item from the cash shop. But the bigger road block for Sleipmon X comes from the fact that the egg(Kudamon) that is required to hatch him is quite rare. Comparatively he has the superior element in terms of farmable digimons in the odaiba maps. While Beelze X might seem like an inferior option , he is the most accessible one along with the option to become an SSS Digimon with his fallen mode.

After you have attained any of the above 3, you can start your "Tab 1" adventure in Digimon Maze F3, Odaiba, Digital Area or Versandi Terminal. A important note is that 3 of the Maps are splitted into "AA/Aoe" spots, generally you can attack everything with auto attacks but monsters with a icon next to the name are designed to farm with a AoE. Not to forget that these spots gives different/fixed amount of bits per drop.

  • Damage Dealer

Now lets talk about the actual power houses that will get you going in the game with actual Dungeon progressions.

Unlike DMO, DMW have different types of playstyle and each SS+/SSS/SSS+ Digimons are classified into Skill type (SK) or Auto Attack type (AA). There are also other classes like Tank and Supporter, their field is not doing Damage though. All of the playstyles have its own unique advantages and disadvantages.

DMW offers a couple of completely free to play SSS Digimon options, basically each of every playstyle, however not of every Attribute. Susanoomon as Vaccine/AA Digimon, Ogudomon as Virus/SK Digimon]] and Shoutmon DX as Data/Tank. This doesn't mean you won't get more than them for free, Events usually give you a way to obtain the unlock item of certain SSS Digimon. Important here is that's not always the case + we never know which one but keep an eye on the ongoing Events!

As your Vaccine Digimon is to aim towards Susanoomon as I mentioned before. You can farm all materials for it in Versandi Terminal, I highly recommend checking out following pages; Spirit System & Guide:Susanoomon Farm. You do need around 32T to craft Susanoomon though. How do you get 32T? Remember DMW is all about efficiency and how you use your time. One of the option is to farm on Maps like mentioned before but once you unlocked the Digital Area you can also do the "Tour", the Raids in that Area gives always 100M for more info about the Tour check Tour System, Digital Area Tour means Orochimon-Zhuqiaomon in case if you're wondering. Now with Susanoomon you also get a great title (God of Destruction), overall the best beginner title in the game. You also have access to a deck buff known as "Ancient Spirit Evolution" Which when activated gives you 40% Chance per Normal Hit: 25% Additional Normal Damage: Lasts for 5 seconds after activation, also comes with two static buffs of HP is buffed by 15%, and Critical Damage is buffed by 5%. All three of which are active until you choose another deck buff. To see a list of deck buffs please check out Deck System for a handy list of options.

Your next aim should be to get accessories. Priority is to get Radiant Accessories for AA Digimon, SK Digimon gain more from the Flame Gear. For a Beginner Ring>Necklace>Earring. In the Guide for Newbies I went over which stats you should aim for on each accessory. There is also Gear which is given out through different Questlines which will help you before getting Radiant/Flame or even better Gear. I'm talking about the [[Beg

The next Digimon would be Ogudomon, you can farm all the eggs of the digis needed for him. Beelzemon, Lilithmon, Belphemon, Leviamon, Demon, Barbamon and Lucemon are all farmable. Get them to Lv120 and use Source of Sin to make Data Codes and exchange them for Ogudomon. Source of Sin is obtained via one of two methods, First Method: Purchase said item from the Cash Shop or from other players. The Second Method: this one is a bit more of a challenge, you'll need to complete some pretty tough Quests do be able to obtain the items for free once you have gotten the digimon to lvl 120. Refer to Ogudomon Guide for which Digimon needs which Quest. Another method of obtainment which skips over those last two choices is to buy the Data Codes from other players but this method is the most pricy of them all.

What next?

You got the Digimon from above and decent Gear but you don't know what to do now? Well the questions remains what your plan or goal is. DMW is a game without set goal, you can either work towards getting the most Damage/a top player or also purely for collection, it's something no one can answer for you. If your goal is to get further then you will want to 1. get stronger Gear, 2. even stronger Digimon and 3. unlocking Seals which will help you on your way. To get better and stronger Gear you will need to do a lot of Dungeon, a full list of all existing Dungeon is in Instance Dungeons. Usually you start with the Holy Beast Dungeon and their Hard Mode up to the Fanglongmon Dungeon which drops materials for the so far strongest Gear; Fanglongmon's Ancient Gear. This is not easy though, a single Gear to craft require at least 145 runs but don't worry once you figured out how you run it, it's not hard anymore. Before you go there you should get your hand on a Bracelete, the most easierst way is most likely to buy one from another player, because it's quite cheap. Just be careful and get the one with 5 Stats. If you do not want to buy it you should at least have a Susanoomon since the lastes Boss is a Virus Digimon.

Novice/Challenger Questline

This Challenge will guide players through the entire early till (current)endgame, which gives also a lot of nice rewards such as permanent Clothing and titles which will help you on the journey. If you're stuck somewhere it might means that you need to works on your Digimon/Gear/Seals to get further but don't give up!
