Missions

Missions are jobs that consist of rescuing Pokémon, escorting them places, and delivering them items. Missions always take place in dungeons. 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 northeast of the town square. It is to the left of the Grassroot's 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.

It is not possible to rescue other players, with guilds being an exception, as players in the same guild can see each other in dungeons regardless of being in a party or not.

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

Explorer 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 receive. All of them require you to go to the destined floor of a dungeon and step on the mission tile; this tile will be gray with the client Pokémon in the center, along with a flag.

The first type of mission that a player can get are rescues. These simply require going into the dungeon and stepping onto the mission's tile.

The second type of mission that a player can get are escort missions. These require the player bring an escort Pokémon to the mission's tile. To get the escort, enter the dungeon with an empty team slot. The escort is always level 5. If the escort faints and is not revived, you cannot complete 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 must bring the requested item to the mission's tile. If you don't have the item, stepping on the target tile will not complete it.

Multiple missions on the same floor will generate multiple mission tiles—one per mission. You can take multiple jobs for the same dungeon, so it is possible to 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.
