The world of Faykreed is a beautiful place and there are many places on it that you’ll be able to explore. The game will split the world into various interconnected maps, where you’ll be able to freely run around to fight enemies, snag treasures and just see the sights. Sometimes, you will find towns and cities that you’ll be able to enter, where you can rest, stock up on items and even purchase new equipment for your characters.

As you progress in the main story and gain access to certain skills, you will notice that there will be glowing spots on the maps. These are called harvest points and there will be three different types. Green ones will allow you get plants and fruit, yellow ones will net you natural resources like ore, and blue ones are fishing spot. Each one will require a specific Specialty Skill, with you harvesting more items as the skill’s level increases.

Harvest points refresh upon sleeping at an inn or anywhere else you can.

You have a mini-map located in the upper right that can be expanded to show off a full map of the region, although you will need to actually visit the areas to fill in a complete map. Shown on the mini-map will be the locations of enemies you will encounter, marked as red dots (once you unlock the related skill). Whenever you get into the range of these enemies, the game will seamlessly transition to battle.
