== About Story Missions ==
 
 
 
Story missions are network mode-exclusive missions that pick up where the offline story mode left off.  These missions place your character in the role of a new GUARDIANS recruit under the instruction of Laia Martinez.  Compared to the free missions which you can pick up at multiple counters across the Gurhal System, there are a number of differences that separate these two mission types.
 
 
 
=== Story Missions vs. Free Missions ===
 
 
 
* So far, all story missions are initiated from one counter, the Clyez City GUARDIANS HQ.  At this time, no other GUARDIANS branches offer missions to accept.
 
* Story missions are all single player.  Unlike free missions, you are unable to invite other players or NPCs to join you on your mission.
 
* Death will lead to the immediate failure of a story mission.  Likewise, Scape Dolls cannot be used.
 
* Once a story mission has been initiated, you will be unable to transport back to a lobby unless you decide to abandon your mission.
 
* Story missions are divided into two acts.  Between each act will be a checkpoint lobby where you will be able restock recovery items if necessary.
 
* Each act of a story mission contains a trial.  Just like with free missions, you will be given a meseta and mission point reward depending on how well you performed.  Characters that are lv.60+ who secure an S rank on a trial will also receive a [[PA Fragment]].
 
* Story missions are not ranked C, B, A or S for difficulty like free missions.  Instead, they are divided into tiers based on your character's level.  What tier you fall into will determine what level enemies you will encounter as well as what item drops you may find.  Currently, there are three known tiers.  The first encompasses lv.1 - lv.34 characters.  The second covers lv.35 - lv.59 characters.  The third tier is for characters that are lv.60 and up.

A small field training mission at the beginning of which you are presented with your own set of [[Goggles]]. You are tasked with locating (using the Goggles) five SEED-infected plant forms within a fairly small map of the Mizuraki Conservation District. Your final rank is based upon killing all creatures (30%) and time taken to complete (70%).

A somewhat more challenging mission. Without giving anything away, this mission centers around chasing through the forests of Neudaiz while using your Goggles to avoid a myriad of traps that have been set in your path.
 
 
 
This trial first appeared incredibly difficult - people dashing through and scoring times of 3:25 were getting under 300 points and a C-Rank. For a long time it was believed that you received a stiff penalty every time Laia Martinez was hit. In actual fact the slope of this mission is just incredibly fierce - if you fail to meet the S-Rank time even by a few seconds, you've probably got a C-Rank.

While not necessarily challenging, this mission is quite lengthy. There are two quite sizeable blocks in this trial.
 
 
 
In the first you are sent back and forth to open laser fences in order to progress, passing through many visible explosion traps. In the second there are "secret" areas that at first appear to be bordered off by fences but have gaps near the walls to allow you through. These areas contain no monsters, but 3~4 boxes, which seem to contain nothing better than usual box drops. However these "secret" areas also contain unique invisible floor traps that keep you stunned for a few seconds before detonation.
 
 
 
Without giving away too much, this will also be the first mission in which you face monsters not on their home planet.

After this mission you get a short and easy "boss" fight which is more dialog than combat. You then progress to the interval lobby between this chapter's acts.
