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

Content and type	Internal map	Access	Progression and unlock
Story encounter Dark Whisper	ch1_dw	Reached as part of the main story; it is not created as Recreated Dark Whisper.	Air Fortress: Dark Whisper advances the Dark Whisper investigation.
Story instance Ominous Dark Whisper	1@ch1a	Speak to Est at (hem_dun01 206, 245) during the final main-story operation.	Created during 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

Content and type	Internal map	Confirmed requirement and access	Content unlocked
Repeatable daily party instance Recreated Dark Whisper	1@ch1b	Complete the entire Chapter 1 Main Quest, create a party, and speak to the Wizard Professor at (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.
