A guide based on official sources. We have not installed, signed in or played. · As of 2026-10-16
01 / PLAYWhat do you do in the game?
An MMORPG built around weapon mastery and Ability/Tag combinations. Build choices go beyond a fixed class label. The added Scythe offers pulls, area attacks, charges and recovery, creating different approaches to grouping enemies and engaging them.
Choose weapons and abilities and develop mastery through quests and combat.
Revise equipment and abilities for enemies and group roles.
Only when considering trade, check binding status and same-World restrictions.
The equipped weapon type determines which Weapon Mastery grows. Official guidance says attacking or defeating monsters with it can grant Mastery experience by chance. Decide whether to keep building one weapon or explore another range and skill set. The Mastery screen shows current and next-level effects and growth requirements. Cloth, Leather and Plate armor have separate Masteries; wearing more pieces of one type improves its growth speed, so consider both individual equipment and the type you want to develop.
Connect Ability combinations to the skills you use
Abilities come from level milestones, quests and monster hunting. Put Tags such as Combat or Support into Active and Passive slots to change your class, added effects and usable skills. Choosing which Quick Slot skills run automatically helps separate routine actions from decisions you want to make yourself. The official touch-control guide enables automatic use with a downward swipe and disables it with an upward swipe. This explains post-entry settings; it is not a recording of first use on the selected iOS edition.
Offline Mode continues automatic combat after closing the game. Official documentation sets a daily maximum of eight hours. Each region has entry requirements; unmet conditions prevent starting. Review expected rewards and remaining time, choose a region, then inspect the recorded duration and results when logging back in. Eight hours is a documented limit, not editorial playtime. Unlock conditions, current costs and Japan eligibility need separate checks. Active Scythe positioning and choosing where to progress while away are different decisions.
A Market-Exclusive Box and its opened, Character-Bound contents have different states. Inspect intended use before assuming resale. Same-World restrictions and seller setup are separate from ordinary equipment changes.
Keep an item for use or consume it for the Item Log
The Asia English guide says logging an inventory item consumes it for Gear, Special or Event points, which activate stat bonuses by rank. This makes keeping equipment and consuming it for progression different choices. A Trading Post shortcut does not establish a mandatory entry purchase. Japan iOS authentication and actual logging remain unverified.
Event entries and their bonuses expire when the event ends. Auto Record combines appraisal, enhancement and logging, requires Enhancement Stones, and does not return consumed items if enhancement destroys an item. Separate lasting progression from event effects; current event access, quantities, prices, optimal upgrades and actual losses are not established.

03 / COSTRequired entry cost and optional spending
LORDNINE: Japan App Store / iOS
The Japan iOS listing offers a free app download. That acquisition price alone does not establish the extent of continuing free play. Optional purchases and asset-function costs are listed separately below.

NEXT Market is an external-browser trading flow separate from quests. Listing requires terms, email verification, a six-digit PIN and a USDT-receiving wallet. Unified and Asia Worlds cannot trade across each other. The maintenance screen observed on September 30, 2026 does not establish immediate market access.

Conditions to resolve before starting
These items contain unresolved conditions and are not a verified entry sequence.
?
Check your registration method in the dedicated LORDNINE FAQ. [14]
The FAQ describes both simplified accounts using SNS information and ordinary email registration.
Loss, deletion or restriction of the external account can prevent login. Specific iOS provider buttons and the verification-to-first-play order remain unresolved; no registration or email was sent in this research.
?
Check age and guardian consent in the linked general Terms and any Additional Terms. [18]
The Korea-external general Terms describe EU16/non-EU13 self-consent thresholds and parent/legal-guardian agreement below them.
Selected2026.01.02. Additional Terms can take precedence; this does not establish a hard Japan iOS minimum of13. Purchase-age rules and first-authentication order are separate.
?
If verification emails stop arriving on the email path, check the dedicated limit before repeating resend requests. [15]
The FAQ says5or more sends within1hour prevent further sends and advises retrying after1hour.
This applies when using email; it does not add mandatory email registration to every path, including SNS. Current Japan iOS first-authentication order and actual limit release or delivery success remain unverified. No email was sent and no account was registered.
?
Check the chosen edition’s official instructions for first authentication and account creation. [1]
The concrete steps from this point to the first play session remain unconfirmed.
Detailed login screens are untested; market-registration steps are separate.
Japan's inclusion in supported countries is separate from first-device authentication. Consecutive screens from account choice through the first character are unverified.
An unresolved check for this offering, not a completed registration, authentication or play sequence.
Purchase-age categories and guardian or recovery guidance do not establish a universal hard minimum age or substitute for first authentication on Japan iOS.
An unresolved check for this offering, not a completed registration, authentication or play sequence.
Quests, Gold transfers, warp and appearance tickets are post-entry explanations. Ordinary free scope, the first request and exact travel cost remain unverified.

Actions and gameplay after launch and sign-in
The following guidance comes from official documentation. Use it after completing acquisition and account setup and gaining access to this offering.
1
For accidental deletion or a planned long break, check the dedicated recovery rules. [16]
Ordinary recovery requests and deletion for long inactivity have different outcomes.
Effective January2,2026. Requests normally require reporting within7days and objective records. Annual character-recovery limits and other conditions apply; inactivity-policy deletions are not restorable. Retention or successful recovery is not guaranteed.
2
After entering, check alert/audio settings and the name shown in acquisition notices. [19]
The Japanese guide lists combat/game/environment/notification/account settings. Anonymous mode masks the character name in acquisition and other global notices and is documented as OFF by default.
This is not anonymity throughout the game. Keyboard shortcuts are documented for PC and do not establish iOS controls. Japan iOS first authentication, actual menus/operation and settings changes remain unverified.
3
If converting an existing SNS account to email, first read the requirements and the no-return condition. [20]
The dedicated FAQ describes conversion through STOVE Profile → Member information → ID. It requires an account in your own name, agreement, identity verification and email verification; it says the SNS account method cannot be restored after conversion.
This is an optional change to an existing account, not a requirement to add email registration or identity verification for every new user. Japan iOS first-screen order and actual conversion success remain unverified; no request, agreement, verification or settings change was performed.
4
After entry, review quest objectives and rewards, then choose how to travel. [21]
The official guide describes available, active and completed quests. Accepted quests show progress in the upper-right notice. Using the warp icon to reach a quest location consumes Gold; after meeting the objectives, select the quest entry to complete it directly or go to the required NPC.
This is documented post-entry guidance. The exact quick-travel price, first named quest, Japan iOS initial authentication and free-gameplay extent remain unverified; no device travel, spending or quest completion was performed.
If you choose additional features
1
For an existing character’s appearance, choose Customization on the Avatar screen and check ticket consumption before confirming. [22]
The dedicated guide describes selecting gender, hair, face, makeup and voice, then consuming an appearance-change ticket when confirming the changes.
This is optional customization after entry. It does not establish free initial character creation. Ticket acquisition or price, specific Japan iOS screen order and actual changes remain unverified.

05 / COMPARECompare gameplay and entry conditions
Which progression and combat systems appeal?
Decisions in this game
An MMORPG built around weapon Mastery and Active/Passive Tags that shape classes and abilities. Choose deliberate versus automatic skill use and an Offline Mode region. It suits comparisons about preparing a build and managing daily progress; crafting trading boxes is a separate asset action.
These are editorial selection points inferred from official gameplay descriptions. Display order is not a rating; upcoming access and unknown conditions retain their offering scope.
Why compare this game Compare weapon-based roles together with glider approaches, scouting and landing decisions.
Develop a weapon role and use a glider for reconnaissance, approach or diving. Its movement decisions include stamina and landing points, not just traveling farther or faster.
Languages: English, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, Traditional Chinese
Wallet at entry: Not verified
Japan eligibility: Japan service eligibility confirmed
Current terms cover all regions except China and South Korea, including Japan. The baseline is age 16 and account registration; check regional additions. Free acquisition does not establish continuing free play, and asset-service terms and fees are separate. · Official service conditions
The July 29, 2026 Helena update describes Scythe and limited events. Check current weapon conditions when planning Mastery and Ability combinations; do not rely on expired rewards to reduce costs. The September 30 market-maintenance display records that trading screen at that time, not an inactive game.

Can all equipment be listed on NEXT Market?
Only eligible items can be traded; some quantity items need boxes. Cross-World trading is not supported.
What conditions apply to paid purchases on a Japanese iPhone?
The Japanese paid-Diamonds disclosure lists monthly caps of ¥5,000 under 16 and ¥30,000 at 16–17, with no listed cap at 18+. Minor purchases require guardian consent and iPhone payments use App Store. These purchase categories do not establish minimum service age or current Japan eligibility. Check actual products and prices on the purchase screen.
Is Japan currently a supported game-service country?
The dedicated support FAQ reviewed October9,2026 explicitly lists Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos. This is an ordinary-game regional condition, not simultaneous verification of individual age/account eligibility, successful iOS authentication, free-gameplay extent or NEXT Market conditions.
Which registration methods are officially described?
The dedicated LORDNINE FAQ describes both STOVE simplified accounts using SNS information and ordinary email registration. Loss, deletion or restriction of the external account affects login. Current individual iOS provider buttons and the continuous initial authentication-to-entry procedure remain unverified.
What if repeated verification-email requests stop arriving?
The dedicated LORDNINE FAQ says5or more authentication-email sends within1hour block further sends; retry after1hour. On the email path, avoid repeated resend requests and check this limit. It does not diagnose every delivery failure or prove successful limit release or delivery. This does not establish compulsory email registration for all paths, including SNS, or the current Japan iOS first-authentication order.
Is the general Terms reference to13 a minimum age for Japan iOS?
The linked SMILEGATE general Terms selected2026.01.02 describe EU16/non-EU13 self-consent thresholds with a parent/legal-guardian agreement alternative below them, also for STOVE creation. They do not simply prohibit everyone under13. They cover services outside Korea with Additional Terms taking precedence; an edition-specific Japan iOS minimum age and initial sequence remain unverified. Purchase-age categories are separate.
Are accidental deletion and a long break covered by the same recovery rules?
The dedicated L9ASIA policy effective January2,2026 normally requires a request within7days and objective records; accidental character recovery is limited to once per account per calendar year, with slot/name and other conditions, not a guarantee. Inactivity wording is90days-or-more in Japanese and more-than90days in English, plus no paid-service usage or an expired service period. Deletion details receive prior announcements; data abandoned before choosing a nickname with no later login can separately be deleted. Inactivity-policy deletions cannot be restored, unlike eligible accidental-deletion cases.
Can name display and notifications be adjusted after entry?
The official Japanese settings guide documents an anonymous-name option for acquisition/global notices, OFF by default, plus notification and audio settings. It does not describe hiding every profile or conversation. PC-only shortcuts do not establish iOS controls. Screens and successful operation on Japan iOS remain unverified; no settings were changed.
Can I return to the SNS account method after converting to email?
The dedicated FAQ says a completed conversion cannot be returned to the simplified SNS account method. Only an account in your own name is eligible, and identity and email verification are required. These are existing-account conversion conditions, not a claim that every new Japan iOS user must complete the same verification. No actual conversion was performed.
The official Japanese quest guide says the warp icon consumes Gold to reach the quest location. The exact amount was not established in the body. Review the objective and reward first; this does not establish overall gameplay costs or Japan iOS initial authentication.
What does changing an existing character’s appearance consume?
The dedicated guide describes Avatar-screen customization and consuming an appearance-change ticket on confirmation. Gender, hair, face, makeup and voice can be selected, but this source does not establish the ticket’s acquisition or price. It is separate from free new-character creation or Japan iOS first authentication.
