New Player Checklist
If you're a new player, or even if not, Granblue Fantasy has a lot of things going on, so it can be taxing to remember everything you can do or need to do. This list contains various time-limited or one-time tasks to perform to help you make progress on your Granblue journey!
One-Time Tasks
These are activities you generally do only once, or on an as-needed basis.
- For new players: Do your free daily 10-draw for the next 6 days after creating your account.
- Clear the Pinboard Missions.
- Designate a Star Character.
- Set up support summons (Menu > Profile). (Don't forget to update your support summons if you get better summons down the line!)
- Adjust your Settings (Menu > Settings).
- Settings > Battle Settings contains useful settings that can improve your gameplay based on your needs, including the option to change the size of the Skill Queue icons, turn on or off Skill Effect descriptions, change the speed of battle and summon animations, as well as toggle Semi and Full Auto settings.
- Settings > Chat/Stickers alows you to change your sticker sets to include a variety of Stickers the game offers for communication.
- Link a Twitter account (Menu > Settings > Linked Accounts). This has multiple benefits such as allowing you to tweet once per day to refill your AP and EP as well as tweeting backup requests to get help in raid battles.
- If you don't have a Twitter account or don't want to spam your main Twitter account, it's perfectly fine to make an account specifically for this.

Complete Side Stories to unlock free characters and collect treasure to trade for weapons and summons. While not an exhaustive list of all the good things Side Stories have in store, here are a few notable rewards:

Other Tasks

- Purchase moons from the Renown Pendant shop.
- You can buy 1 of each moon per month. They can be exchanged for many useful items, so it is usually worth buying them, especially as a free/non-IAP player.

High Level
A lot of content opens up once you reach rank 101, so there may be additional regular tasks to perform.
- Purchase Class Distinctions from the Prestige Pendant shop.
