Footprints on Sacred Ground/History is a story event. A loyalty character joins you, and progressing through the story unlocks free quests and bosses. The January 2017 iteration of this event uses the Renewal format for old, reissued events.

This event is part of the Society and Foe series which includes: Right Behind You, Gripping Freedom, A Peace of the Pie, Platinum Sky, and Violet Violence.

A mysterious earthquake rocks a certain land, and an island spoken of in ancient texts appears from out of the mists of legend.

A young scholar tasked with researching the place hires our heroes as bodyguards and heads for the island, his curiosity consuming him.

But what lies in wait on the mythical island?

For new players

Make sure you complete all the quests, since each chapter, free quest, and boss awards Crystal ×50 on first-time completion. Complete the loyalty character's loyalty bar to keep him permanently, which also unlocks his Fate Episode for more Crystals.

Notable Rewards

• Obtain as many Damascus Crystals from the event as possible. They are a good long-term investment for the future. There are 3 that you can buy from the event shop. You need 10 Damascus Crystals to create 1 Damascus Ingot.
• Buy Half Elixir ×2 and Soul Berry ×5 from the event shop daily.
• Wind God and Thunder God is, quite frankly, an awful summon with a Call that only deals damage. Wind players should instead earn Anat from the Casino. Brand new Light players may find some use from its Aura if you don't have any better, but it's still not worth the resources uncapping to 3★.
• Thunder God Spear has a big Light ATK Up weapon skill and a decent Charge Attack effect which makes it a great filler while you're building a Luminiera grid. If you do not have a Light element spear in your reserve, then you want to grab this weapon regardless as it is good for Light Holy Saber/Spartan or Bishop/Sage. This spear is worth uncapping to 3★, though, it will eventually get replaced by Gungnir as a Main Weapon (if you're lucky).
• Wind God Sword has a big Wind ATK Up weapon skill and is an SSR Wind Sabre. However, Tiamat Blade drops quite often from Tiamat and its weapon skill is boosted by Tiamat Omega's Aura. If you want an SSR Wind Sabre as a Main Weapon, then it is worth owning at least one 0★ copy until you obtain the much better Qinglong Manewhip from Rise of the Beasts. Aside from the scarcity of SSR Wind Sabres, Wind God Sword is not that impressive and it is up to you on whether to 3★ uncap it.

New Character

Johann (Event)
	Edit rating Role: Healer/Support Very simple healer kit; one of the oldest designed event characters in the game. Difficult to sustain a whole party with his single-target heal in longer battles. Brand new players may appreciate a free Light healer, but his mediocrity makes him easily replaceable.

White Rabbit

White Rabbit has a chance to appear in the following Chapters:

• 3-3, Wave 2
• 4-1, Wave 2
• 5-2, Wave 2
• 5-4, Wave 2
• 6-2, Wave 2

White Rabbit can only appear after completing the Chapter (in other words, you can't take advantage of the 0 AP first-timer discount). White Rabbit is considered a Rare Encounter which means Belle Sylphid's Aura works. White Rabbit and Happiness Carrot are possible drops from White Rabbit.

Note that the chance for White Rabbit to appear in may be significantly lower than compared to the Sharp Ears Free Quest found at Chapter 29 (42): Amalthea Island - Inhabited Area, Amalthea Island.

Challenge Battle: "Working Together"

• Party: Main Character Guests Vaseraga, Zeta, and Johann (Event).
• Completion reward: Blue Sky Crystal ×1
• Enemies: Wind God and Thunder God
• Difficulty: Low

Thunder God has very high debuff resistance. Grand Order is a good support summon for this challenge.
