Players gather materials including Metal Scraps, Scrap Wood, Plant Fiber, and Tires before crafting a Refining Station to process refined materials. Before flight certification, players undertake Adventure Awaits! The quest tasks players with salvaging resources in the city to find 3 Scrambled Coordinates and playing an adventure.
