== Overview ==
'''Chapter 1 - Instances''' separates the chapter's narrative encounters from its post-story repeatable content. The similarly named Dark Whisper maps are different pieces of content and must not be treated as interchangeable.

Story identifies one-time narrative progression. Repeatable identifies content entered again after the story. The labels remain explicit so the distinction does not depend on color alone.

== Story Content ==
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Content and type
! Internal map
! Access
! Progression and unlock
|-
| style="border-left:4px solid #3366cc;" | Story encounter '''Dark Whisper'''
| <code>ch1_dw</code>
| Reached as part of the main story; it is not created as Recreated Dark Whisper.
| [[Chapter 1 - Main Quest#Air_Fortress:_Dark_Whisper|Air Fortress: Dark Whisper]] advances the Dark Whisper investigation.
|-
| style="border-left:4px solid #3366cc;" | Story instance '''Ominous Dark Whisper'''
| <code>1@ch1a</code>
| Speak to Est at {{#navi:hem_dun01|206|245}} during the final main-story operation.
| Created during [[Chapter 1 - Main Quest#Bring_Down_the_Air_Fortress|Bring Down the Air Fortress]] and used to complete the Main Quest.
|}

Neither story entry above is the daily party instance. No cooldown or repeatability is stated for Ominous Dark Whisper because a separate rule has not been confirmed for MuhRO.

== Repeatable Content ==
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! Content and type
! Internal map
! Confirmed requirement and access
! Content unlocked
|-
| style="border-left:4px solid #14866d;" | Repeatable daily party instance '''[[Recreated Dark Whisper]]'''
| <code>1@ch1b</code>
| Complete the entire [[Chapter 1 - Main Quest#Bring_Down_the_Air_Fortress|Chapter 1 Main Quest]], create a party, and speak to the Wizard Professor at {{#navi:hem_dun01|201|248}}. The party leader selects the difficulty; Levels 2–5 require Base Levels 260, 265, 270, and 275 respectively.
| Daily access to the difficulty ladder, Immortal Monarch encounter, and its reward boxes. See the full guide for mechanics, strategy, and rewards.
