Missions

Missions are jobs posted on a board in town that consist of rescuing Pokémon in dungeons, giving them items, and escorting them places. Missions always take place in a dungeon. They vary in difficulty based on the dungeon they're in and on what floor they're on. Completing these missions give players Explorer Points.

Missions are accessed from the Mission Board in Grassroot Town, located in the northeast corner of the town square. It is to the left of the Housing Center and has Manual the Porygon beside it. Manual explains how to get and accept a mission, as well as when new missions are posted.

The missions you get are chosen at random from the dungeons you have completed. A new one generates at every time change. You do not have to be online for a new mission to generate, but it's advised. Occasionally, if your mission board is completely empty, a new mission will not be posted. This usually fixes itself in 2 time changes.

You are able to hold up to 8 missions on your job list at a time. It's also possible to send missions to other players. However to send a mission to another player, the receiver has to have beaten the dungeon. You can also only send a particular mission to a single person.

Explorer Points
Explorer Points are used to determine your current Rank. They are obtained by completing these missions, and earning enough points increases your Rank.

Player Ranks
Different Ranks give different rewards upon reaching and surpassing them. Refer to Perks for more details.

Mission Types
There are 3 different types of missions that a player can choose from.

The first type of mission that a player can get are mission tile missions. These require you to go to a specific floor of a dungeon and step on a specific tile. This tile will be gray-black with the client Pokémon in the center, along with a flag.

The second type of mission that a player can get are escort missions. These require the player to do what is done for the first type of mission, with the addition of bringing a Pokémon to the tile. This Pokémon is the escort. To get the escort, enter the dungeon with an empty team slot. The escort is always level 5. If the escort faints, you fail the mission. If you leave the dungeon before the escort is completed, the escort Pokémon will leave your team.

The third type of mission is an item request mission. You do what the first type of mission requires, but this time, you have to bring an item to the target tile. The item needed is specified in the mission. If you don't have the item, the mission will fail.

Multiple missions on the same floor will generate multiple mission tiles - one per mission.. You can take multiple jobs for the same dungeon, so you could theoretically complete multiple jobs in one dungeon run.

Trivia

 * In the earlier days of PMU 7, keeping a close watch on the missions often revealed a glitch concerning new dungeons. Unreleased dungeons would sometimes show up on the Mission Board with a mission, even though the player may have never even entered or heard of the dungeon.
 * This glitch included dungeons that the staff had no plans in releasing, so it wasn't a sure sign of a new dungeon.
 * When the revamp of Jailbreak Tunnel occurred, most missions given took place in this dungeon for a while due to an oversight. It has since been fixed.
 * During the second Easter Event, it was possible to accept an escort mission into the dungeon and get the pre-evolution of the escort. The mission board was closed for a while after it was found out and the bug was fixed, but some players still had some unreleased Pokémon.
